Now

This page is where I keep everything that I am doing right now - I got the idea from Derek Sivers in which you keep a dedicated space in your blog to tell people about your updates and what you are aiming for. It is my first time trying this out so I hope I can remember to keep it up-to-date.

Building this blog

I am currently building this blog since it's something that I have been postponing for a while. And by building I don't mean just adding content, but actually making the structure of the blog comfortable to me and to the reader as well as building a bunch of helper scripts (like compiling .md to .html pages since nobody wants to write in .html).

I also want to add a section where I can talk about media and art I've encountered along the way. Books, movies, games, etc... I believe that in the modern world all reviews we get are not personal enough, so let's try to give my take on that (after all this is my site).

Creating a game

This might be unknown to some of you but I am currently also building a game called PlanB4 which was supposed to take 3 months but ended up taking almost 2 years to make. I don't like to make things half done and I did not know what I was doing at the time.

Living in Tokyo

Moving and living in Japan has always been a dream for me, and after seeing Felix (aka PewDiePie) move to Japan, I was inspired to try to move as well. The idea had never really occurred to me before, so I started looking into how I could make it happen. I managed to move here after much help from Big J and my family's emotional support.

Living is one of the things people do not do much nowadays since we don't have time to think anymore as we've given up being free men and instead became cyber serfs who are fed a constant stream of numbing information that keep you more or less accommodated with your own reality. Being in Tokyo has helped me overcome this to a certain extent, so if you are reading this, please do remember to live your life and drink water from time to time, since this life is just one.
