I have very vivid memories of my childhood in the 90's. First of all, you only have less than a dozen tv channels. So, everybody watches the same thing and talks about it at school the morning afterward. Parents usually watch the news, basketball, and Latin telenovelas. While we, the kids back then, are fond of anime, and metal heroes, Kamen riders and power rangers. 90's are also an odd time, it was the time where analog and digital coexists, from the recoding of cassette tapes, to burning of cds and dvds, and to digital storage. We played outdoors, got exposed to heat, rain, dirt and other elements, as well as played with Sega and Nintendo consoles, and later on PlayStation with our friends. If you have the budget, there is the local arcade, usually located a mall basement full of video games. It was heaven for an 8-year-old. Boybands, Girl groups, Pop bands, that time was rich with culture and entertainment. Internet was still on its infancy stages, when it boomed in the lat...

Today I went to an android phone repair shop to bring my old S20FE back to life again.  And behold, the repairman did not disappoint. Board level repair was made and battery replaced, now I got a more midrange phone for my daily needs. Which brings to today reflection points. 1. When you take care of things, they last. Sometimes, they take care of you too. Yes, I am guilty of not taking good care of my gadgets, but I realized that it's much better to maintain and take care of things, than to repair or replace them once they're broken. Let's take the legendary example, your own body. Feeding it with junk food, skip on your exercise routine and not making sleep your priority, will eventually take its toll, especially once you're in your 40s. Thus folks, take care of the big 3, diet, exercise, and most of all, sleep.  2. Don't be afraid to pay premium for excellent service. Pay peanuts, get monkey. This phone repair job costs me a little extra than what I expected, but...

There's a reason why cleanliness and orderliness are next to Godliness You can perform better when your environment is primed and ready for what you are about to do. Cleaning our own room seems like an ordeal at first, especially if not done regularly, but the end result is worth it. It's like a life hack, when you fix something as trivial as your room, you unlock the ability to fix small problems, in and out of your mind. Before writing this blog, I cleaned my room. I know it's been almost a week, but procrastination has gotten the better part of me. Now, no excuses, I just focused on one part of the room, sweeping the floors, rearranging the furniture, replacing bedcovers, making sure everything is its own place. It's a small victory but compounded can change the direction of your life. You can think better, you are proud the work you have done, and knowing that even though things will get messy, you have the ability to fix it again. Even in bad days, if you can do no...

There is a kind of excitement in starting something... again I forget how many attempts I have in starting a blog in different platforms. But still in this day and age of tiktok, its a good thing to be able to express your feeling in writing (or typing) form. But I know starting is not the challenge but continually posting content, consistency will make or break this mini endeavor of mine. I plan on writing frequently in this platform as a way to download my thoughts into writing. Maybe most of them are personal, sometime are weird, but hopefully you'll find and relate to the lessons within. So please, wish me luck and spread the word. The Kirbs has landed once again in cyberspace. God Bless!
