Me Time: Path to Wellness

This wishy washy guy likes:
1 to sleep all day
2 to go out for a walk
3 to eat eat eat
4 to bother the human for 2 to 3

Yup, not much but hoping it's a good start for the day as recommended by Dr Suzuki in

Did a body scan meditation to cool down and well my right eye, right nostril feels drier.

Numbers don't lie..

but they can be misleading if not presented with proper context. Take into account the accuracy and scope of the source.
Anyway, call it vanity but I do check my blog stats every once in a supermoon.  Mixed feelings about the traction hike in Oct last year.  Top posts are book reviews, recipes and education. Bounce rate, not so sure if readers do linger or explore further.  I'm not in the mood to fiddle with gAnalytics yet.

oh, yes! We're trying to do this again.. blogging.  Yesterday, D and I were trying to recall life events and we'll all over trying to find out what happened in 2023.  This informal journaling slash meditation does help me process and offload my mental space.  I can always draft and publish later and I feel it's for public consumption.
Great for looking back, more for reminiscing than melancholy's sake.  Also, I need to sharpen the saw--practice my English writing skills and photography.
Hello, 2026! Beyond the numbers, I'm hoping for relevance.. that I may be of help by sparking your interest, feeding your curiosity, and further fueling your passion.

Book Review: Strange Pictures by Uketsu

Strange PicturesStrange Pictures by Uketsu
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The book surely has its eerie effect as I read the first chapter late at night. I paused between chapters and digested the chapters as individual mysteries. It started being repetitive to me in Chapter 3 when the timeline or investigation notes are updated (for me too often) as I go along. The strange pictures captured my curiosity, some helped me see the character's thought process and helped with the story telling. I had a hard time with the timeline bar charts though, it's just me as I'm lazy to validate it against the narratives. Overall, a strange good read left me wanted to do another read just to pick up the clues again and tie them all together neatly (like 20%) but it's a luxury I currently cannot afford now. I do look forward to the next one: Strange Houses.
