Meanwhile, you're just waiting at the mall/cafe for him, and it took you afew hours of waiting...

This is an odd episode as I feel like I need to talk it out to myself. It hasn't been easy managing a discord community; moreover a close-knitted one with regular meet-ups and such. As everyone has a name, a face and a story, this makes it trickier when disputes and conflicts arises. In a large enough discord community with daily activities; human drama is bound to happen. And here is me, tryi...

in this episode, I'd like to share some of my thoughts when I was thinking back about my past relationships and feeling that they where all the right one, just that they weren't there forever. Calling it the right one but wrong time seems wrong, but how is it the wrong time when it was actually the right time; perhaps the right amount of time. Hence; not forever :' )

A rye off the bat poetry performance on the beauty of what it could have been; the perfect imperfect Schrödinger's (cat) Pandora box of what might or might not happen. It could have been, a phase that relates and connects all of us together, but at the same time disconnects our present to the future that... "could have been".

This episode was made fresh off the oven after I'm back from my therapist, who shared with me on some practices of sleep hygiene. Insomnia is always a thing that I have to battle with together with PTSD and with the recent treatment and medication, it definitely worsen. It isn't that bad or severe (I feel) but it really does affect my functioning days. So my doctor came out with some pract...

A short rumbling about this 1997 dystopian sci-fi thriller called Gattaca. How ahead of time it is, when they covered about humanity and our tendency to discriminate, while we strive for the best. Greed? Naivety?  It was really nice to see Ethan Hawke after I first saw him at predestination. This movie really came full circle for me. A shoutout and thank you to penguin for this recommendation...

In this episode, it was a question that I asked myself, as I wonder if mental health is now mostly used as an excuse or if there's more to it. Going through this difficult time, I have difficulty functioning sometime, yet I didn't expect people to understand me. It was another thing altogether when I have been using my mental health as my safety net, or am I really not? I asked myself that as I fa...

Made this while we head towards the end of 2nd month, and I guess life's been quite errrr... well tiring Feeling the burnt out, in this episode I talk about some of my challenges as I was balancing the 3 different sector, from family to work and personal. I think it was one of the episode that I ran through what I had to priorities depending on the circumstances of my life, mental health etc.&nbsp...

In this pilot episode of Skem or Dayum, I'm here with my Twitch Mod XZ, who's been nothing but helpful when I was looking to get a new computer after my previous one failed me. I decided to head towards Carousell, as they have a more attractive price ranged, for those which I believe are lightly used (2 years or less), I manage to "snipe" 2 good PCs, totalling around $2000 for both of them, with o...

Was exploring the potential of an upcoming tech podcast with my twitch mod while I was shopping for a new PC and we decided to make it happen. It's been awhile since we'd done podcast together and it's really nice to have found a great balance where it lies within our common interest. Named Skem or Dayum, this casual and light podcast is a 20min byte size tech reacts, from 2nd hand price builds to...

Never would I expected to be doing a podcast about my first love as my intention was just doing a podcast recording, and it happen to be on valentine's day. It is apparent that this particular day has lost its meaning over time as I grow up, becoming less of the dreamy childlike romantic but more of... an ordinary adult. But that being said I also travelled down the thought rabbit hole or how I lo...

A podcast episode on what I went through today and some brief updates of my life and anxiety.  Today I head over to the hospital for my regular therapy session and we moved on to conducting Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR); a method where most doctors use to deal with PTSD patients. I was asked to remember, and try to reorganize the information and details of my accident, repeatedly. It is...

In this episode, I decided to share my experience during my company's goal-setting meeting. I guess it hits me to some extent, as I was made to write and think about my current state, emotions, feelings and also this session is pretty exploratory with the questions directed. And I guess I left this session with more question and answers, but wiser as to the path that I should seek out down the roa...

Like how the title feel, I'm back from a long hiatus, as I got buried with work and personal matters. Perhaps I have been shutting off and haven't been feeling, as fatigue only lull me to bed right after I'm back home. I haven't been playing games even, and my leisure time consists mostly of staring into space. But one thing I know for sure; I want to get back to things. So I took this Chinese New...

Perhaps it's middle-age crisis speaking, or perhaps I am no longer as young and fearless anymore. No longer as adventurous, my body isn't as great as it use to be, and my spirit is dampened from work; seeking solace over weekends or quiet nights hunching over a book or huddling under my sheets watching Netflix. I guess... at the end of everything, I do prefer some sort of stability, and mundane. A...
