Continue reading →: Vacations and GrievancesHave you ever noticed that when you take a vacation, the first half always feels different than the second half? The start is always fun and exciting, maybe kicking off with a drink or an excited cab ride to the airport. The second half though, that always hits different. I…

Continue reading →: Are Online Game Community Guidelines Doing More Damage?Here’s a weird take on this. One of the many rules every online game platform shares is verbal/textual conduct. No swearing, racist or homophobic slurs, among other platform-specific syntax ruling. This is usually governed by automated systems that have word lists that ban users when the trigger words are detected.…

Continue reading →: The Corporate “They” ProblemYou’ve heard it before. The same sentence that derails your ideas, denies your requests, and shuts down your inquiries in the work place. “They wouldn’t want us doing that.” Most people will accept this and don’t probe any further.

Continue reading →: Marriage – Love and WarfareWhere I have little doubt that marriage is absolutely a confession of love for your partner until the end of time (as the promise goes), it is also no doubt the beginning of a lifelong war. The stakes? Your sanity. The reward? That blissful sheen of sweat upon your brow…

Continue reading →: “Sole Mate” – Starting off on the Wrong FootJust like when Morpheus first met Neo, I knew that my wife would be the One. I didn’t need an Oracle to tell me she was about to crash my system and rebuild my world, even if it is slightly in her image. We started off doing all the things…

Continue reading →: “Don’t Think. Feeeeeeel.”I grew up watching martial arts movies, from Ninja Turtles all the way through the Mortal Kombat instalments. I was obsessed. We even had a trampoline that I’d practice backflips and other tricks as a youth, just in case I needed such skills to navigate the mean hallways of my…

Continue reading →: Kumquat – The Fruit You Didn’t Know You NeededWhen my wife came home from the grocery store and told me she had brought home a container of kumquats, I did what any other uncultured guy would do – I chuckled. After getting the stink eye, I asked her again what it was she brought home, and if she…
