Self-reflection – October 2022
October is ending, and we’re slowly leaving 2022 behind. How’s your 2022 going so far? And what do you wish for 2023? Although the world is becoming a less safe place to live all thanks to the current global phenomena, we still can hope as long as we breathe. Since it’s almost the end of October, I thought maybe this is a good time to post another self-reflection here. Hope you could see your own life through your own perspective and compare yours with mine. Enjoy! …
Legally Okay But Ethically Not Okay – Fight Against the Corrupted Systems
“My biggest problem with modernity may lie in the growing separation of the ethical and the legal”― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms Writing sometimes becomes a nerve-racking experience, especially when I have to reveal my past traumatic experiences. But this is one of my ways to make a difference in this world, and I hope this could activate some movements elsewhere in the world. Last summer was the worst summer of my life. If you’ve been following my blog, you probably know what happened to me. Covid killed my father and the infection changed me forever – I can’t see the world as it …
The End of Unsustainable Picture-Perfection on SNS
Ever wondered why we sometimes drive ourselves to post our picture-perfect photos on SNS while everyone else does the same?

My Enthusiasm for Android – Why iSheeps Are Pathetic
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”― Mahatma Gandhi For over a decade, my enthusiasm for Android never waned. One of the biggest reasons I love this OS is its infinite potential. Not only does it allow you to customize its home screens with launcher apps, such as …
Still My Legend
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.” ― Robert Frost “Maizumi-san!” His manager’s voice echoed through the office. Out of the blue Maizumi, one of my former colleagues, walked away from the office during working hours and never looked back. It was an early summer day in June 2014. He quitted the job. That was one of the legendary moments of my life and his legacy lives on… Considering our situation back then, no one could blame him because the job was a total nightmare.
