Confession time… I attempted to recap my year in the previous blog entry, and it was surprisingly quite challenging putting it together. I had set out to work on the post, thinking I would breeze through it, but that wasn’t the case. I struggled so much writing it and even considered ditching it at some …
It’s my 6th consecutive Christmas away from home, and this one hits different. The Christmas season has always been my favourite time of the year, and I always looked forward to every single one of the 16 Christmas holidays I spent with my family before having to leave home in 2016 for study purposes.

It is said that a writer’s worst enemy is the blank page… But is the blank page really the enemy? I would naturally want to agree with that notion. At least, it provides me something to blame for my inability to have these blog posts ready until the publish date. I would often spend the …
When was the last time you were bored? Not the “flipping through channels looking for what to watch” kinda boredom, or scrolling through your playlist seeking that jam you love.

Yesterday, I was privileged to be hosted on a friend’s Instagram Live show, “Thinking Out Loud with Praise Ero”. It was my first time being featured on any such show, and I was super excited —and a little bit nervous— when she reached out with the invitation to be her first guest on the show. …
Disclaimer: The purpose of this post is not to spread any conspiracy theories, although it might be laced with a little dose of such (pun intended). I will only be attempting to share some of my contemplations –more like unanswered questions– surrounding COVID vaccines, which are increasingly gaining popularity with time. I’m also interested in …
In the previous blog post, the concept of internal resistance was referenced in passing as one of the factors that impede productivity. In this entry, we’ll be taking a closer look at this subject. Ever wondered why you can’t seem to do the very things you said you will do? Like why is it so …
Not too long ago, the marshmallow test was trending across social media. In this test, kids are given marshmallows (or candy in some cases). They are left alone and instructed not to eat them while the adult is out of the room. The catch is that if they don’t eat the marshmallows when the adult …
