I don’t have a family member that I dislike, neither in my immediate family nor into the directly extended family of Aunts, Uncle-in-laws and cousins. All my grandparents are now dead. I didn’t dislike any other them either. Though there are certainly family members that it’s easier to spending time with. Continue reading On ‘A family member that I dislike’

Morning routines
I am in the fortunate position to be working for myself and largely have total control over my morning routine. At the same time I find it really difficult to form proactive routines around anything, let alone waking up in the morning. Continue reading Morning routines
Am I like what a Libran’s like?
I approach astrology like I do everything else: with a mix of skepticism and curiosity. Most of it is as useful and believable as religions (i.e. not at all). That said, it’s also true that it took quite some time for humans to understand the effects that the gravitational forces of the sun and moon have on the Earth.

My Life in Seven Years
I wake from a vivid dream: my subconscious trying to tell me something. I get out of bed, quietly so not to disturb your rest, grab my laptop and set down all I can remember. I always meant to go back through all these dreams and scraps one day, when I ran out of ideas and need something to spark my imagination. That day still hasn’t come.
