I’ve come to realize that I have a disdain for hype.
I disdain React, because most of it is hype, not because they are superior technologies (What’s wrong with following browser standards?). So I stick to Web Components as a standards-based frontend...
Been down with viral chesty cough for the past one week.
Body is still able to function. But the extent of the coughing sometimes makes me wish I didn’t exist.
Stayed at home for the most part. Worked from home even. But the prolonged time of feeling...
Impulsively, 2017 is one forgettable year. Introspetively, 2017 marks many turning points in my life.

The next time I visit, I would want to talk more to my grandmother. I feel...
I graduated from high school in 2005. It's 2015. There's talk of a 10th year reunion. I would go, but only because I feel obliged to, as I was the Head Prefect. I don’t really want to, actually. I’ve nothing great to talk about since high school.
