Today was a good day

As a general rule, I sleep better on days that I was EXTRA productive and got tons of shit done. Today was one of those days. Everything from my day-to-day got realized, like work, exercise and groceries. Now add filing my taxes, updating my financials, study time and even a good chunk of time to…

PSA: Stay clear of vices

As long as the vices exist, man will be slave to them. He who serves gambling, drugs, sex, etc. shall hold the power. Generation after generation, that is the story of humanity, being caught in the same detrimental cycle till death. Most people never even go near them. A few lucky ones fall into deep…

March 29, 2022: The day I finally bought a printer

I went through high school, college, grad school and my young adult life printing at my neighbors’ house, dad’s office, Office Max, computer labs at the universities, then my job, and even my friends’ jobs.

I’m guessing almost everyone with a mobile phone (or in touch with someone that has one) knows about the altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock.

Meet my neighbor, I named her “Elle”

I think my next door neighbor (same building apartment) is going through something; it’s probably bad, don’t know exactly, but it’s most certainly weird. Not to get into specifics, she’s a single middle aged woman that lives with her big dog (love him btw), uses the washer and dryer at least once a week, listens…

Another taco, por favor

Is there really such a thing as too much salsa in your tacos? Yes! I found out the hard way. Discovered a new legit Mexican restaurant (meaning, workers speak Spanish and food recipes taste like the real thing) about 2-3 minutes from my house. Was so excited after finishing my plate of carnitas, that I…

The key to hating your job and still finding happiness

I don’t want to work today —> Who even wants to work +40 hours a week. But we gotta pay the bills. Literally work to survive. That’s the system we have in place. I mean, you can get some incentives and aids, but we all know they’re not enough or simply put, you won’t be able…
