Trip 3: Phu Quoc Island
It was one and a half hour flight from Malaysia. Phu Quoc belongs to Vietnam and is home to the previous prime minister (or so I heard). The island is not as well known as Da Nang so we were expecting smooth sailing customs. Boy, did we expect wrong. The day we landed, November 10,…
Unpacking the Reasons: Why I Disagreed with the New Granola Packaging Design
Back when I had freelance work with Tasty Grains granola packaging, I felt that the packaging accomplished the business perspective—standing out in a market where there are a lot of competitors (supply) and not enough demand. Fast forward a couple of months, it was a busy period with work, but the client stumbled into an…
Aquaman 2 Review (Spoiler Alert)
I had low expectations for this movie given the overall bad reviews I saw before watching. It wasn’t as bad as I expected.

Down Memory Lane
I used to be an avid reader of Xiaxue’s blog. So, I searched for her blog once more, only to find it removed because of the cancel culture. Cancel culture is sounding more like cancer culture, a disease unleashed on random people OR people asking for it. But, to what degree should freedom of speech…
The Emperor’s Sword Review
The first thing I noticed about The Emperor’s Sword was its impressive cinematic beginning, but that quickly turned sour. The CGI started to feel in your face the more it’s used. A bold attempt, probably inspired Game of Throne’s introduction but failed to leave the same impact. The overused slow-motion effects left me cringing in…
Peccata Remissa Illustration
Revamped an illustration from 2015. Digital painting is therapeutic. Done in Photoshop.
Fear of the Unknown
It’s scary when you think about it now, You think you know, Until you don’t. And when you find out you don’t, Questions amass from the down low, Constant repetition of mental blows. Just go with the flow, But what when the flow becomes stuck? What then? Do you wish for the best? Or do…
