Run a Marathon… Check!
I survived my first (and possibly my last) 42.195k run! Nearly bursted into tears when I crossed the finish line! ? Received my hard earned medal for finishing the marathon. I had put so much sweat, tears, and blood into it, but it’s all worth it! I’m not sure if I enjoyed the run, just […]

2017 Review
Took a quick look at the 7 New Year’s resolutions I made as year 2017 started, I’ve completed absolutely zero items, a couple were even left untouched, but I did make good progress on a few of them, so it’s not entirely futile. Looking back on some of the major events that happened to me […]

Had dinner at home with my parents last night. Towards the end of dinner, my dad calmly told us that one of his long time friend, an uncle who’s very close to our family, just passed away. My mom and I were a bit shocked even though we knew that he had been battling the […]

New Daily Routine
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve started a new daily (almost) habit of practicing calligraphy and portraiture drawing using a brush pen. As much as I love doing art, I’m still very skeptical about the idea of becoming a full-time (starving) artist. Since my uncle got really sick earlier this year and later passed […]
