Having a pet is like adding a quiet, breathing companion to your home.

They don’t ask why you’re tired, nor do they offer advice.

They simply stay—

and in that silent loyalty, you remember what it means to be trusted.

Sometimes I feel the human world is too crowded, too noisy.

But a pet’s world is simple—

eat, walk, sleep, look at you.

That brief eye contact feels more real than any algorithm.

Maybe that’s the best thing about having a pet—

they teach us how to live simply again,

and remind us that kindness is not weakness, but strength.

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

If I’m being honest… it’s probably the phone I bought for my partner.

Not the most luxurious thing in the world, but definitely the one that meant the most.

It wasn’t really about the specs or the price — it was about that small smile when they opened the box,

that sense of “shared life,” where what’s yours becomes ours.

Funny how the most expensive items we buy aren’t really ours in the end —

they become memories, wrapped in moments we quietly replay later on.

What podcasts are you listening to?

I’m not someone who listens to podcasts every day.

But when I do, I usually turn to Listen to the World by CommonWealth Magazine.

Each episode lasts around twelve minutes—short, clear, and never dull.

It feels like a daily sketch of the world—economy, technology, industry, and global affairs all condensed into one cup.

For someone like me, who’s always moving between data and systems,

this kind of audio briefing is like a morning black coffee—brief, awakening, and full of flavor.

What was your favorite subject in school?

It feels like a long time ago — those student days when life was simpler, yet full of discovery.

Among all the subjects, programming was the one that truly made me feel alive.

There was a friendly competition between the Information Systems and Computer Engineering departments.

I still remember the quiet tension, the long hours in front of the screen,

and that little spark of pride when my code finally ran — perfectly.

When they announced I’d won first place, I smiled, but inside, I was glowing.

That moment changed something in me.

It wasn’t just about writing code; it was about creating logic from chaos,

turning a blank screen into something that moves, thinks, and responds.

Even now, years later, that same feeling returns every time I build something new —

that quiet joy of watching an idea come to life, line by line.

When I rest, it never feels enough.

When I work, there’s always something unfinished.

When I play, time slips away too fast.

And then, suddenly — ten years are gone.

We keep saying we need more time,

always chasing what we think we lack.

But maybe that’s the point —

to keep remembering

that every moment we do have

is already time worth holding on to.

Three years from now, I don’t ask for much —

just peace, stability, and enough abundance to live with ease.

A calm morning, a warm heart, and steady hands for the work I love.

That’s all I wish for — everything peaceful, everything full.

Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

Once a year.

Turn off every sound.

No meetings, no phones, no noise.

Just sit quietly,

and listen to your own heart.

Think about the path you’ve walked this year—

Where did your money go?

And where did your government’s money go?

What was truly necessary,

and what was only desire?

Then look beyond yourself.

How is the planet we live on?

Are we building a future worth inheriting,

or quietly consuming it away?

No anger, no excuses—

just reflection.

In stillness, there is prayer.

In reflection, there is awareness.

And through awareness,

we move closer to the truth.

What are your favorite websites?

If ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google count, then of course these three come first, haha.

But strictly speaking, they’re more like web services.

When it comes to actual websites, it’s really hard to pick a fixed one these days — information sources are too diverse, and everything changes so fast.

I used to have a few bookmarks I’d check daily, but now… it’s all about search, recommendation feeds, and the occasional rabbit hole that starts with a single click.

Maybe that’s the charm of the modern web — it’s not about where we visit anymore, but how we connect.
