But seriously, though. I spent almost 3 hours straight thinking what to write — so pardon me if this post is bad — because I don’t fully understand the meaning of this word. I consider nuance as a subtle distinction or variation — I found the definition here.
A revelation eventually came through, and I decide to write about this insignificant nuance on these things.
One of my friend asked me after I took a competency test for applying an internship. The answer is: I wasn’t. I didn’t really expect to proceed to the next step, which will require me to follow a session of interview — more like interrogation.
I wasn’t nervous because I already know what I’m capable of; that I’m incapable of being capable enough is enough reason for me for not being nervous.
But recently, I’m more prone to being nervous when someone suddenly acts like being a hostile to me — for example while chatting to a friend of mine. Or maybe when I’m being lectured by my brother-in-law, the mixed feeling of a little bit of pride, nervousness, and other things makes an uneasy feeling for me.
But I think that nervous feeling somehow makes us feel more alive; fear, anxiety, and distress mixed into one state of emotion. And that shouldn’t be suppressed entirely.
I was ruminating about the purpose of life.
The first thought that came to mind was a swarm of insects, especially bees—probably too obvious. But I feel that would be too easy, so I opted for something more… unusual.
I notice that nowadays, I can find many choices of entertainment these days—and I mean A LOT. Like games, videos, or music they provide pleasures we can obtain easily. But for me it’s hard to find entertainment—from now I’m talking about music—that aligns with my mood and preferences.
I always think that vivid means colorful images—albeit sometimes seem surreal. Initially, I liked them. They were so beautiful; my mind even considered them as Eden. But as the time goes by, I read an article about Supernormal Stimuli and I realized, it was all artificial and unnatural. Continue reading
You read that right.
Several days ago, me and my friends were working on an Arduino project for a certain subject—Human and Computer Interaction to be precise. Fortunately, we weren’t doing this at 2 o’clock in the morning; instead, we were doing this project at around 5 p.m.
Even to convince my friends was hard work. I had to buy several rather expensive components, then storm through the heavy rain. I couldn’t just join my friends; well, I had this assignment that needed to take care of first.
Eventually, I joined and bought both of my friends some snacks. Fortunately, this time it wasn’t raining. After done with the assignment, I stayed for a while—until maybe 9 p.m.—and went home when I exactly had to pee; there was no water there (My friend said it was not unusual). We enjoyed our times, I hope. Continue reading
After all this time, I thought the biggest conundrum on Earth is women—but seriously, even now I can’t seem to discern women behavior entirely. But I’m not going to talk about women here. But I think that even though they’re somewhat not like as they seem, they have a magical aura that can radiate love and peace.
But honestly, I think the biggest conundrum in my life is myself. Really. Continue reading
I don’t want to tell you the obvious—that we have to grow up and parlay our skills and knowledge in order to transform lives around us to be better—but do we have to parlay all the time? What if we don’t want to? What if, we abandon our most valuable assets just so we can live for ourselves and not for others? Continue reading
If money were no object, this may be the first thing that I would buy. A tree house, in the middle of a forest. Why? Because I want to know what it feels like living among the mother nature itself; along with various animals and plants, unscathed by humans’ hands.
Then what?
Honestly, I don’t know. Theoretically, once a man has already fulfilled one of his desires, he goes on to pursue another. Same goes with me. I want a house that I can use to escape this cruel world for a while. No human interference, just me. Or maybe, with my family once things have been better. Continue reading
I doubt that I will benefit completely from the advancement of technology. I read several tech news and I have to admit, it’s both appealing and appalling to me. Artificial Intelligence is now ubiquitous; you can read the news for yourself.
There are several examples which I found… brilliant. Those are: Amper Music, Ford’s Autolivery, and Ozlo. They’re fully utilizing the true potential of AI, making their business remarkably profitable while, uh…, let’s say reducing cost of hiring people. Continue reading
