Daily Streak
Life moments and goals come in form of highlights. Graduating college, wedding, loosing weight, you called it. The interesting thing is these highlights are almost always culmination of effort; tons of things happening in span of times and at the peak of it certain...
Being Comfortable Making Less Money
Aziz Ansari isn’t really my preference for comedy but this one bit about Frank Ocean on how he managed to work on projects he like really hit home. I’ve been working up to the point where my wife keep suggesting me to take some time off. Heck, even co-worker told me...
A Reason for Mechanical Watch
I know that some people enjoy mechanical watch but i never one of them. I’ve been using Apple Watch 2 for years and so far it feels sufficient for me. I like tech and my frame of thinking is if my watch can do more than just telling time, why should i settle with a...
The Taste of Memories
I forgot where did I watch this (either YouTube, Tiktok, or Instagram Reels 🤷♂️): there’s this chef who shares his favorite fried rice recipe and he wholeheartedly believes that it is the best fried rice recipe because that’s what his late father used to cook; Fond...
The Exact Same Path
I used to walk in this mall with my girlfriend, which later turned into my wife, years ago. Fast forward recently, i was walking on the same path.. with my son. I chuckled a bit. What will 8 years ago me would think if he knows that he will walk on the exact path he...

House Feature Bucket List
These are list of “house feature” that I couldn’t afford now but hopefully can afford sometimes in the future. Room with in-room toilet / bath room I used to think that room with in-room toilet is a nice thing to have but not that necessary. However this pandemic...
Hospital Playlist
I’m not really into medical-themed drama but this K-drama on Netflix really get me hooked. What i like about it: It doesn’t create unnecessary suspense or plot twistThe main characters are really just bunch of kind humans with their flaws. Watching the shows doesn’t...
Doing begins by believing
I just realize this recently: I tend to do something if I think it is possible. If i don’t think it is possible, i’ll keep a backlog of it but i’ll probably won’t do it anytime soon. Just keeping it in the horizon - not sure when i’ll do it. A very clear example for...
New Macbook Powered by M1 Chip
I can safely say that I lean toward the fanboy side given the amount of Apple product that I use, but i was VERY skeptical about this new line of macbooks with Apple-built processor dubbed with M1 chip. However when the reviews came out with M1 performs better even...

Stuffs that crossed my mind
Seeing things differently
My former manager once jokingly told me that learning typography is a curse because texts are everywhere these days yet most texts have incorrect kernings: Everywhere you see is never ending incorrect spaces between letters. That day i realize that people see the...

If you are having a debate with someone, that’s because you have two different arguments. Arguments are conclusion that you made based on compilation of different thoughts. These thoughts are basically variables, and conclusions are made based on combination of these...
AI Agent (July 2025)
I’ve been using Cursor (IDE + integrated AI Agent) for the past couple of weeks now and how it feels so far: it is good but it is only as good as your capability of giving it the right direction and the right context. What I feel is left unsaid so far: Coding skill...
Are you into video? Check out our YouTube Channel
Me and my wife started family-related YouTube channel in late 2016. Recent videos:
Junior, Mid, Senior, and Managerial Roles
My somewhat simple observation on roles in a tech organization: Junior role: Not familiar with the codebase, don’t know who to ask yet, have significant amount of insecurity when asking because still in a phase of proofing thy worth, solving what’s in front of their...
