The pro’s and con’s of travelling solo
I am not someone who is going to miss out on an opportunity because it means I’ll have to go on my own. I have one life here and the world is just sitting there waiting for me to explore it so, i’m going…
erratic thinking
What I think of when I think I’m not thinking…
I hate TikTok and so should you
One life we’re given here and the one gift every one is entitled to no matter where you’re born or who your parents are is time. Don’t waste it.
Island life
The reality is, as much as I love the simplicity and anonymity of the island life, there is an even greater force inside me that just wants to go back to striving toward my goals and become successful at something…
Let’s talk about discipline
I actually really enjoy writing. I just struggle to get my laptop open and start
What I think consciousness looks like
it goes inside itself and turned inside out no longer existing where it was but somehow existing again, everywhere else..
Imagine having an alien pen pal
Are we so naive to think in the entire solar system, a mere speck on a speck in a speck, could be the only living, conscious things in existence?
Why you should just be yourself
There are so many humans on this planet. Trust me, you will find people who will want to vibe with you…
They Made The Cursed Child Play Woke…
To change someones story, to just completely re-write someones work is so disrespectful to their creativity and efforts…
One hell of a drug.
I always indulge too fast and always reprehend myself for doing so. But once I start, its almost impossible to slow down…
Taekwondo is like an arcade game
I just picture a miniature version of the opponents and two people controlling them, pressing buttons, trying to hit the targets…
Psychedelic Self Therapy
The rugged edges of my surroundings were softening into a marshmallowy texture and everything from the roof of the sky to the furthest bend of the river I could see, suddenly zoomed in a little closer like my entire universe existed in a giant snow globe…
How to started taking cold showers
Now if you want the benefits then stop being a pussy and just do it…
The “your weight will catch up to you” lie
Its easy to just accept the easy way out but then you complain about health and your looks and overall vitality…
Our world with robots
The AI should be restricted to jobs that are labour intensive or dangerous to humans. Nothing creative or fun that could take away from us…
The sad truth about competition
Its a battle and in some strange way it keeps a sense of balance in the world…
Coloured Macs
Reminds me of a plastic 90’s Nokia and distracts me from the fact that the rare materials that make up the fragile block of cobalt that I carry around is a product of modern slavery and I am just as guilty for all the things I stand against in this world…
What’s life without a little risk?
if there is one thing i hate, it’s someone not pursuing their passions. we really only get one shot at this life…
Wizarding World
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again – the books and the films do not compare. They are both the perfect way to tell the story and you cannot say one is better than the other. They are too different and yet somehow tell the exact same story in the most perfect way. Bits and pieces of each compliment where the other lacks and so the two together just create a perfect world…
I think John Wick is autistic
this man makes no errors and every single impact he makes is precise and calculated and perfect to no fault…
A rat’s life in reverse
They grow up with aspirations to be the rat that helps with the next amazing discovery and fulfil their purpose as a rat to aid the humans…
Chimp Empire – reality tv for chimps
Its not just what you learn about how they live that’s so extraordinary, its how much they relate to us. There’s drama, there’s politics, hunting and leisure…
Harry Potter HBO Series
Let’s get one thing straight. You cannot compare the films to the books. No one is greater than the other. They both compliment where the other lacks. They are not the same thing. They are both magnificent, individual works of art. They are incomparable.
Why your stomach grumbles
So I just picture our stomach’s like a washing machine/vacuum turning and churning until there’s nothing left to clean up…
Why do we make the bed
It comes down to discipline. Or the thing that separates us from the animal…
Learning in high school
The secret to schooling is that its all just a memory test. So whether you enjoy it or not, pick subjects you have any interest in so its easier to pay attention and to remember when you get tested on it.
Why you should compete
The more and more you put yourself into these high stress situations, the easier is gets and more rational you are able to work through them…
Red Hot Chilli Peppers Concert
I would one by one focus my view on each band member as they performed their own individual show, in their own little concert for me to enjoy…
Fast technology like fasting food
We know too much of anything is bad for us. We know technology is unnatural and we are constantly surrounded by it. We know all the many bad affects that come with being on social media or glued to a screen for so long can have. So why don’t we ever think to fast from it? Refresh and clean out the system…
Why there’s no Tagalog on Duolingo
It wouldn’t be a hard language course to put together. You’d basically copy and paste most of the Spanish dictionary and half the work is done!
Joe Rogan Roast
If every single comedian that’s ever been on the podcast came together for one night to roast Joe Rogan and at the end he had a chance to come back at them, its a pretty much guaranteed success and undeniable night of entertainment and painful gasping for air laughter. And I am so down for that…
Use Brave Web Browser
But most importantly, when you’re streaming off Youtube, there are zero ads so no interruptions AND you can continue the video even after exiting the browser or locking your phone!!
The sauna isn’t relaxing… neither is yoga
But I do understand, if you aren’t pushing yourself to the limits then you probably don’t know the benefits otherwise you would. Or you just haven’t given yourself enough credit to believe you can go the extra mile which is a whole other battle worth facing…
The right way to eat a cupcake
You don’t get the icing just brushing up against the top of your mouth and all up in your teeth and its easier to hold without making a mess…
A love letter to jiujitsu
Jiujitsu is yes, a martial art, a combat sport, “the gentle art” but let’s face it, there’s nothing so gentle about breaking bones, tearing muscles, spraining ligaments, the occasional eye gauge, nut hit, tooth chip and constantly choking people unconscious…
Nostalgia from the radio
As lucky as we are to have everything at the tip of our fingers and as quick as a touch, I can still appreciate the insignificant but sentimental act of just flicking through the stations and being taken on a ride…
One Tree Hill Soundtrack
So to whomever was in the process of all those musical decisions throughout the show, thank you.
Born to host
If there’s a few things I’m known for (my love of food usually the first people learn), throwing extravagant parties is definitely one of them…
Placebo or no?
If on a cellular level, things are changing then isn’t it happening? Even though on surface level nothing has changed but if on a molecular level something has, well then hasn’t something taken place? I can’t seem to make up my mind about it, I go back and forth…
A better view on life
When you allow yourself to struggle and overcome a small situation that’s in your control, the small things that would normally bother you that are out of your control soon become minuscule…
When We Die…
You relax and watch through a video montage of our earliest memories, through our milestones, heartbreaks, triumphs, our first trip, our first flirt, insignificant interactions that we seem to never forget, reoccurring dreams, loved ones coming and going, the times we failed and the times we succeeded, the times where our life could’ve gone one of two ways and we chose the one we chose, all leading up to this moment. ..
Me, Jimi & LSD
I felt every part of my body experience the sound of his guitar as my blood was dancing around, rippling through the sound waves, swaying and twirling to the beats of the song through my veins. And then I closed my eyes…
You create your own destiny
How will you know if you don’t try though? Yeah easier said than done, of course but you wont ever know until you try. You will also never find out if it was easier than you expected or not and if its harder than that, then what a greater feeling and bigger reward you get out of it! You just have to want to want it enough…
Fix your diet without feeling like you’re on a diet
So when you do have those special occasions, you don’t have to miss out or feel guilty about your choices. You’re never ever going to be perfect and you shouldn’t be anyway because wheres the fun in that! Just so long as you are cautious of it, then at least you’re putting reason behind your decisions instead of just mindlessly reacting…
Optimal health = Optimal life
It means taking care of not only the physical form but your mental and spiritual health too. These three things are all connected and when all three are on the right track, everything else surrounding just falls into place…
Everyone has an addiction
If we start holding ourselves accountable then we have every reason to be upset with ourselves whenever we fall short. So I guess its easier to just not try at all, or do the minimum and call it enough. This is not how it is supposed to be. We’re so comfortable and so privileged that hard work is an option, not as necessity…
I didn’t know I was meditating
And no wonder I felt a positive shift in my atmosphere, like things in my life were aligning and like nothing could phase me!! Life isn’t perfect (which is perfect) but I have also never felt so content and grateful and on track as I do right now, and more and more so as each day passes…
I don’t miss social media
In all the times reading and writing, learning and progressing, that would’ve been wasted looking at what someone else wanted me to see or calculating how artistically pleasing my next photograph would aestheticise my profile would be… its just something I can’t help but think about
I used to hate silence
I think we’ve forgotten that we’re supposed to be alone with our thoughts. We’re supposed spend time with ourselves, unstimulated. Our poor society has adapted to the world of technology and never allowing ourselves to truely be alone…
Gimmie some action (films)
I want to feel like if I remove my eyelids from the screen for just a second to pass the popcorn, I’ve missed either a death, an explosion or a super cool stunt trick…
take me on a ride
i am a sucker for any album that takes me on a journey from start to finish, like i’m watching a movie in my mind…
I used to hate sleep and now I love it
I started listening to the ‘Huberman Lab’ podcast by Dr. Andrew Huberman on Spotify after listening to his episode on JRE. What sold me was the topics of changing your nervous system for a better/healthier mental state as well as becoming more focused and having greater memory and therefore, learning new things more affectively which I am ALL about.
When I’m rich
There are 3 steps to the game of Dungeons & Dragons – Describe, Decide & Roll…
Why I love driving
Remember that book you just never had time to finish? Well theres probably an audiobook for it. You can listen to podcasts of scientists and medical professionals, Youtube videos about historic discoveries, learn a language, do some mindful meditation, all while just sitting in chair, getting from A to B!
Life is easy
We have the power to create our fate. If we really do look at things from a bird’s eye perspective, can’t we just reason with ourselves, weigh up the possibilities and make the choice our future selves will favour more?
Life is easy but I’m sad
The same people who hate cancel culture, the ones who believe everyone should have the freedom to voice their opinions and not be shamed for whatever the remark, are the same people who are cancelling their own friendships because they won’t agree with what their own friends have to say!
Life without regrets
I’ve started approaching situations that test me with a bird’s eye view. Like I’m playing an intellectual video game with life, viewing from third person…
Changed my life for the better
I put my phone on ‘do not disturb’ 24/7… I have turned off ALL notifications from every single app… Too much of just about anything is bad for you right?
You are not a model
When you take a bad photo or you get the wrong angle and think you look “ugly” in that photo, thats just what you look like. Accept it and get over it.
Why I love cold showers
I allow myself to feel the cold, breathe and relax in the discomfort until it is no longer uncomfortable.
Always assume and never assume
Don’t assume they’re judging. Assume they’re elderly. Don’t assume they’re interested. Assume they’re having a bad day. Assume they’re married…
I miss hotel quarantine…
Good or bad, you’re going to have some sort of weird attachment to somewhere you’ve spent 336hours in such a short period of time…
Why sport is important when you’re young
You never know when your body may need you to kick in some extra strength or ability, life is unpredictable…
Why I like wearing the mask
I am human and as much as I preach and try to practice not caring what others’s think, some things are just embedded in us and out of our control…
Making lemonade out of Covid-19
No humans, nowhere to go and no technology, meant no distractions and the opportunity for my brain to breathe and ideas to grow…
