Absent.

How do other people do it? I mean, stay up late and wake up early, and manage to stay up late again? I'm beat, and I need to learn to schedule these activities of mine more effectively. Countless seminars, techniques, books, and trainings I've already gone to on time management, but somehow I feel like "I'm spreading myself too thin" these past few days and weeks. And I'd like to publicly acknowledge my sister's efforts on keeping the party going (for me and her daughter) last July 28, taking care of my guests while I wasn't there and handling the food and preparations.

And regarding the pictures, I've been really wanting to put up pictures of my sisses on the site -- however I don't know if this is the appropriate place to put them. I just feel lucky that every monday and thursday afternoon, when I get out of a guelling laboratory class, I have my sisses to greet me -- and make my day. Seeing a lot of beautiful ladies at any given time makes my day -- especially if I'm not having a very nice one. I'm putting up snaps here, just for your eyes to feast on (I love the UPLB Computer Science Society).

And who wouldn't love to hold a hand like this? Or be touched by it? Or... Ok, I'm not going there. I was sepia frenzied earlier today, had too much fun with beautiful ladies and the beautiful natural lighting.

Or would you rather want that she (Maika is her name, and yes she's taken) be thinking of you instead? I'm just lucky that I have sisses that would love to get their picture taken, and wouldn't mind their pictures be posted on the net. Yes, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. And I can't blame myself for wanting to take pictures of my beautiful sisses.

And with the quality of the pics I can take with my cam, I'm just blessed -- plain blessed. I just wish I wouldn't run out of beautiful subjects as long as I can take pictures. A guy can only get so lucky.

Just for kicks though, would you happen to be able to guess what this next picture is? I'm blowing it up so people can take a guess. I intentionally took the picture in sepia to capture more "drama" but it wouldn't have mattered had I taken it in B&W or color. I'd love to hear what you think this next picture is about.

    that last pic is an aromatherapy burner, if i'm not mistaken. you put a candle in the thing under the teapot-like watchamacallit, and you put your favorite aromatherapy oil/water blend into the pot on top.

Help wanted: writing resources

I'm currently fleshing out a fantasy setting for a series of short stories rattling in my head that I'd like to get out into the world. However, it's the first time I'm even trying to do this, so I need your help: are there any good resources for world-building and writing guides that have been helpful in your projects? So far I've been really enamoured by Brandon Sanderson's world building and Patrick Rothfuss' storytelling. I suspect those two are at the pinnacle of the trade and I'm probably not going to do myself any favours by trying to live up to what they're doing, but I'd still like to give it the good college try. Are there any resources (forums, books, guides, blogs, or courses) that I should be taking if I want to do a decent first take at this? This is probably better as an email to friends and maybe some random folks (or maybe even a tweet) but why not a blog as well?

Reconnecting with people

2021 started with a a good sense of connection for me, having spent time with friends and family in a simple celebration of the oncoming year. The transition from 2020 to 2021 and being able to look back at a good part of my recent history got me thinking about how life has been for me and the family for the past decade. There’ve been a lot of people that I’ve met and become friends with while there are those that I’ve left behind and lost touch with. There’s a saying about treating old friends different from new ones, which I do appreciate now that I’m a bit older. It also means that my relationships with people that I get to spend a good amount of time with take a different shape. This reflection has given me some time and space to think about what it means to reconnect with people. Friends are the family we choose ourselves. — Edna Buchman I have the privilege of having life-long friends that I don’t always stay in regular contact with. From my perspective, if I consider you a frien...

Six-hour workdays for focus and productivity

Sometime in 2018 I experimented with a strict 6-hour workday. I negotiated this with my manager who at the time said it was worth the experiment. The idea would be for me to be at the office by 10am and be out by 4pm. This didn't preclude me from continuing to work while I was in the train, or at home. It was an experiment where I can remember some good and bad parts and this is a post looking back at that time. Ruthless prioritisation The first thing I needed to do as an individual contributor was to ruthlessly prioritise all the tasks I have to accomplish. This meant I had to put a budget on the amount of time I'm spending doing certain things. Additionally this meant I needed to remove  all unnecessary meetings from my calendar. This was defined as whether it was something I was needed to make a decision on anything. Being an individual contributor at the time the answer it turns out for most meetings in my calendar was "no". Some examples of things I've stoppe...
