My Written Thoughts

 Three days ago I shot a short video which had been in the planning a couple of days prior. Before that, I stumbled across a Tik Tok video that really caught my attention. I drew inspiration and information from that video and decided to make my own. So the project began. The video is about how the bank system works. I remember how a lot of people (including me) don't fully understand how banks make their money. The topic about banks is full of financial jargons that not only confuses the hell out of the general public, but also financial, economy and math students as well. Having seen a much easier way to understand this, I decided to make a video about it.  The plot is just a simple dialogue between a banker and 2 customers. It was my first time acting and I played all 3 characters. Thank God it turned out okay and not so amateurish. Shooting began at 10am and I finished editing the video at 3pm, all done in my son's room. As soon as I uploaded it to all social platforms, I k

 All my life I’ve stayed true to the belief that credit cards are evil and debt is the number one enemy of the modern world. My sole principle was to avoid getting into any sort of debt. I grinned every time I see an innocent citizen wallowing in despair as they struggle through the vicious cycle of credit card debt. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would eventually become that person. It all started when I was at an Aeon mall with my family in 2017. Right after buying some groceries at the supermarket, I went to one of the Aeon booths to apply for a new J-card (a card for collecting points).

He started out by asking my name, address and so forth. As soon as these questions got a bit too personal, I started to realize that this is not just a J-card application. He was asking about the amount o

 For more than 10 years I have been romanticizing about doing a solo travel. This fantasy of mine almost became a reality in 2021 but then I decided to take that cross-country trip to the border of Thailand with my wife. Although that trip was highly memorable and fulfilling, my desire to travel alone remains a mission which is yet to be realized. I have never done a solo travel before. I imagine it to be more exciting if done in a foreign country. However, as it currently stands, my budget would only allow such an occasion to be done locally for now.  Through a lot of reading on the topic, travelling solo is known for causing positive changes to the mind, body and soul. The common advice from those who have done it is that although it might not be for everyone, we all should travel solo at least once in our lives. Sure, it has pros and cons. But it makes a person more independent and resourceful. You will learn to handle your finances better. You meet new people and actually interact
