Can you believe it’s the end of the year?

Well, whether you believe it is or not doesn’t matter, cause it is 😀

Here we are, tail end of 2025 and leading into the new horizon that is 2026.

Did you have a fun time?

I did. 🙂

I don’t think a single photo album will capture the totality of everything that took place, but here’s a small sample of them.

In these pictures, a few themes emerge – new experiences, daring, travels, friends from near and far, and friendships from long ago revisited, reconciliation, hope, and a new attitude towards people, life, and those who surround me; there are so many more things that came along the way that haven’t found expression in the pictures and so many other fond memories that I could yap the content of a full book, which incidentally I actually wrote, in bringing out this overflowing chalice of memories.

2025, you were good to me in many unexpected ways; they weren’t always ways that I had expected you to be good; you were a year of striving, challenge, tribulation, but also growth as a human being.

I came into you as a fool, and in a way, I leave a fool as well with slightly more experience of the world, and hopefully just a little bit wiser.

What will 2026 bring? Well, maybe that’s just for later.

Thank you for the memories, and for the greater things to come. 😀

The Things We Do Not Do

One of the things I reflected about this morning was a little less about the things that we do, but rather the things that we don’t do. Why? I guess cause in thinking about life, I’ve come to realize that tradeoffs are inevitable. I guess it was true from the […]

The Advantages Of Speed

I guess you can see that I’ve been having a bit of a blast thinking about how my mind works, how reality works, and so many other things as well – and it is also pretty interesting to reflect how a lot of people who were exposed to it across […]

Process and Reality

…Is the title of a book I have yet to read, but that I’d like to read when I finally get over the monumental beast that is Charles Taylor’s Sources of the Self, which in turn was a follow-up from Homi K Bhabha’s The Location of Culture, which I decided […]

My Birthday Gifts To Myself

I’m writing this on the morning of my xth birthday. Why the x? Not because I don’t want you to know how old I am (although sure, that’s part of it – guessing is part of the fun, right? 🙂 ) – but because partly, I don’t think it really […]

The Things We Don’t Want To Do

I’m writing this in the middle of a somewhat sluggish feeling after waking up rather late in the morning. I’m also doing it after practicing the cello and reviewing my DJ skills, reflecting on everything I did the previous day. Throughout this entire process, my body and mind are kind […]
