Everyday Stories, Lived

  • What led me here (podcasting)

    I’ve never produced any new episode on my podcast for almost half a year. Why? Because I needed to keep the lights on. However, I’ve already begun writing for the whole season (well, at least half of it), with bits of ideas here and there. If you can see my rough drafts, they looked like Read more

  • Do you want to rekindle friendships today?

    Don’t wait for them to reach out to you. Take the initiative instead. You’d be surprised how they’d respond, and you’ll feel like you’ve never really stopped caring about each other after all. Read more

  • The problem isn’t the tech?

    There have been so many times when I keep thinking about the bad habits I acquired through the years. What kind, you ask? The practices that bother me are primarily about how I relate with my phone. It feels like an itch I couldn’t scratch. As if there’s something wrong, but I cannot figure it Read more

  • On building hydropower plants

    Working as a researcher gives you a front-row seat to see a study area’s possible futures. You could make way for things to become a reality, like designing systems that provide energy access to a locality through hydropower. But then, like all projects, there are two sides to the story. While well-meaning designers want to Read more
