  • How are you traveling? Are you taking frequent trips or are you on a long-term journey?

    For me, I’m lucky enough to be in a position where I can take trips frequently (casual hours), but I can’t do trips longer than a month because I have to go back to work. I did get burned out on flying to different time zones all the time, and the stress of the whole airport process in general. I decided to stay home for the summer months as a break, and picked up more work hours. Well now, I can’t wait to be on the move again!

    As for fatigue during travel, I get tired out from constant decision-making. I’m also an ambivert, so while I enjoy meeting and talking to people, I find that I get mentally tired out after 3-4 days. For those reasons, I plan on rest days by giving myself extra time than I’d need in a location, usually in a hotel room. I also try to keep day to day stuff as flexible as I can, so I don’t get stressed and can be spontaneous. I’ve taught myself to ignore the FOMO feeling, and to not force myself to do things when I feel that slump. It does go away after 1-2 days for me, and I get the urge to explore and socialize again.


  • There’s so many manga that I wished had an ending, but Ultra Heaven is my answer. I read it probably about 10 years ago, and I still remember it from time to time. It was a really unique and trippy manga that I wish had an ending. I have no idea why it was cancelled though.

    Another one that’s not officially cancelled is Vagabond, but I’m mentally prepared for it to have no ending since it hasn’t been continued in forever. From time to time, I’m just like “I wonder if it has an update?” The answer is always no.





  • I prefer ebooks because it’s more portable, and I can have a bunch of books on hand. Recently, I have a new habit of highlighting sentences that stick out to me or points that I want to remember. I would never do this with a physical book because I would feel like I’m messing up my book. I do buy a physical copy if it’s a book I love though. I absolutely cannot do audiobooks because I will tune them out and focus on other things. It’s in one ear and out the other. I find it easier to focus on written media, so I generally prefer to read. I’m not a podcast fan either.
