A place area for me to think on “paper” or simply a way to encapsulate my thoughts and days before they become a distant memory (a nice way of saying I can be forgetful).
Today was another tough day. There is still residual from the news yesterday that is affecting me. I feel lost. I guess I had so much expectation that the Upenn program was a perfect fit that I already start factoring that into my plans going forward. Now that is no longer the case, I feel […]
Today was a pretty devastating day. I’ve been waiting for the past month and a half to find out if I got into the University of Pennsylvania’s Engineering program for Computer and Information Technology. I just found out that I didn’t get in. I had so much hope going into it. I really wanted to
I got out today and spent the majority of it at the Asiatique River Walk across the river from my place. It was a close ride over and cost only 3 dollars. I got there before it started getting busy. Most of the stores start opening at 4 pm. The Asiatique River Walk is a
I initially intended to go out today, but a thunderstorm came through and squashed my plans. It looks like sporadic rain showers happening this entire week…A little bit of a bummer. It doesn’t help when there aren’t many walkable places around here. I’ve been frustrated by the lack of fresh food and fruits here. I’ve
Day 3 in Bangkok already! Maybe time is different in South East Asia (SEA) because I feel like it’s flying! I’ve been in SEA for a full month now. I have a little less than three more months here, and I feel like it’s going to go pretty quickly. I have a lot I want
I explored a bit today so that I could get a lay of the land. Bangkok is so much bigger than I expected. It certainly isn’t a place that you can just pick a place to stay and hope things are convenient. I took a Grab to get lunch over at Bake A Wish. They had
Alright! I made it to Bangkok, and this digital nomad life is growing on me. I feel like the world is big, but it just got smaller because I can work from anywhere with a wifi signal…The technology age has its perks, and we get to live in it. As I was leaving Chiang Mai,
And just like that, we’re on the last day of Chiang Mai. It’s been a great experience coming out to a new culture and immersing myself into daily life rather than being a tourist. It doesn’t feel like you’re on vacation. It feels like work, but you’re experiencing new sites, sounds, and smells. Something is

Today is my second to last full day in Chiang Mai, which is still hard to believe. Almost a month has gone since I left San Diego. Today is also the beginning of a new quarter in 2018, and it’s also the last quarter of the year. That’s still three months before 2019. It’s a

Today was a good day. I was able to wake up at 5:30 am again. It’s always a great feeling waking up before the sun wakes up. My sleep wasn’t the greatest, though. I kept waking up throughout the night, and my body just woke me up at 5:30 am without an alarm. I had
