Everyday Stories, Lived

Blog

This is a collection of stories and daily musings.

  • Microgrids and DERs

    It’s incredible to be a part of the scientific community in the country, meeting the people who care about research projects being carried over to real-life settings. And being a part of the microgrid project where we designed a microgrid that can still operate even when disconnected from the main grid, I can’t help myself… Read more

  • Disoriented like a lab rat

    I’ve been casually in this particular mall for three years, and I have already built a mental picture of where places are supposed to be. I still get lost in it sometimes, but in the shops I often go to, I seem to know where to find them. Except today. Not today. My boyfriend and… Read more

  • We can’t continue living the dorm life

    I realized how not cooking is a lazy excuse, especially when you have the resources to do so. Because we can’t continue living the dorm life forever, can we? It felt the same as not putting the food in your mouth, even when it’s already in your hands. And perhaps, I have carried on with… Read more

  • I have snapped out of it

    Using a dumbphone for almost two months forced me to be in the moment. What else should I do with those hands? Where should you put your eyes? And the more I get disconnected from the device, the more I feel connected with those around me. Even if it means they’re hooked with their devices… Read more
