Honestly, I’m in no rush at all. I feel totally in control of my output. For this week, … Continue reading SSW Doc #2: Learning from other Literature
Short Thoughts
Sometimes, you just want to let your brain fart and say do what it wants. This category is basically my brain’s toilet.
Canned Sardines
No matter where I’ll end up in the future. Be it successful or in poverty. I would never forget the taste of canned sardines. Why? It’s the reason I’m still alive right now. One of the cheapest food sources out there. And, a reliable one at that too. It’s not good for everyday consumption – … Continue reading Canned Sardines
Brother’s Meltdown
I woke up in the middle of the night by some weird sound coming from the back of the house. I sat up, rubbed my eyes, and focused all my attention on the noise that broke my sleep.

How Games Made Me Aware of My Biggest Insecurities

A Bet with a Child
It was a hot, humid Wednesday afternoon. People hurried along in and out of stores. Some buying food and some taking a smoke.

Constant Course Correction
There have been many times when I felt like I was living my best life, only to fall down from grace within a couple of weeks. Why is that so?

Writing Fiction is Hard
Man, I just don't know how people do it! It's so hard to write scenarios from the imagination. If I'm the one writing them down, it feels impossible to capture the moment compared to an actual scenario in real life.

Getting My Feet Wet Again
It's been a long time since I've posted something on WordPress. I've been writing a lot, but I never had the intention of posting because I was kind of mad about myself. My recent performance in university and life has been absolute trash in my standards, so I decided to take a break. During the … Continue reading Getting My Feet Wet Again
