About the blog
It started with “i want a place where i can share my idea in any form that i want“. Over the years i also realize that this is also a form of self expression which helps me to connect with like-minded people.
If you enjoy what you are reading, let’s get to know each other.

Personal Vlog
Circa 2017, me and my wife decided to vlog. We vlogged for a year and then we stopped because we became way too aware of what we should put on the vlog and what we should omit. It was no longer fun. The decision of where we go and what to do were somewhat affected by...

Farewell, Father
My father passed away last weekend. I’ve been trying my best to make sense of this situation but i don’t think I’ve been doing a good job on doing so. The last time someone close to me passed a way was years ago. In a sense i’ve been lucky not to experience these...

Streaming Services Review
A very quick review of three active video streaming service subscriptions I use so far: Netflix: The OG of streaming services. It has tons of titles and it has tons of originals / exclusives. However, most of their “originals” movies feels generic and formulaic tho....
