I am taking a break from social media which I have done many times before. I have probably done it once a year for the last four years. The longest one I took was six months. It is always pretty good and never was a downside. It gives me more time for things that matter the most. I can get more focused on more important things and think more clearly about my goals. This break was triggered by many things. Misinformation Era Social media is billowing toxic smoke. There's not a time I scrolled through my Facebook without unpleasantries. From non-sensical posts to misinformation. I can not always rely on the Internet for reliable information. Social media is another thing. It is more virulent. People share stuff and they do not know where it comes from. Oblivious to the creator or the validity of the content. You can easily brainwash thousands of people with something you just made up and I can't bear that a lot of people fall for that. Procrastination Nation It is a huge distract...

I like a good DSLR camera but I’m elated to know that I can capture a nice snow-capped mountain using my smartphone. Those genius professional landscape photographers are now starting to feel threatened after spending a fortune on gears—threatened by the mass that can get their hands on iPhones and Android phones with dope cameras. With the competitive smartphone market, phone cameras just keep getting better and better as many brands will keep innovating on phone camera technology. Pretty soon, they will be nearly as good, if not equally good, as standalone cameras such as digital, DSLR, or mirrorless ones. A phone camera is already adequate for landscape and outdoor photography in a lot of cases and conditions. Apart from that, your fancy phone right now is a lot lighter and more multipurpose than bulky traditional cameras and you can easily edit photos on your phone and pin it straight on your Instagram feed. There are ways and techniques to consider when taking outdoor photos using...

A few years ago when my health was spiraling down because of uni and my then on-the-go lifestyle, I decided to slowly start nourishing my body. I invested in a blender that was specifically designed for fruit and vegetable smoothies. That brand of this blender was expensive back then because it was kind of the first of its own type. But nowadays, competitors have sprung up so prices have become more competitive. I learned about simple recipes that come with the blender and each recipe has a set of organs or a body system that it benefits. I eventually felt better and my health maladies were treated. Not everyone can put up with the taste of fruits and veggies blended together so some people have the tendency to add and subtract stuff to and from the blender. Doing so may compromise the full benefits you can get from the smoothie regimen. You need to consider what you put in your smoothies to get the nutrition that your body needs. I specifically make green smoothies to reduce sugar. He...

Is blogging becoming irrelevant? I hope not. With the rise of various social media platforms and the shortening attention span of the newer generation, there are still blog readers and writers out there. Just like how there are still vinyl, CD, and cassette enthusiasts, albeit less convenient, despite the advent of music streaming services. I love to keep a blog. I am not very consistent on it but I really have to have a place in which I can chuck my thoughts and opinions about anything. I'm not going to stick to certain niches and this will be as informal as it gets. Photo by  freddie marriage  on  Unsplash
