11:13 PM On the plane ride today, I listened to this famous commencement speech by David Foster Wallace called This Is Water, and it touched me. David Foster Wallace was the author of Infinite Jest, a well known and complicated fiction book that spans over 1000 pages. I've known about Infinite Jest...
11:38 PM It's been about a month since I completed my previous fasting. It lasted 4 days and I ended up losing 5-6 pounds. During this past month, I ended up gaining 5 pounds back, but I also worked out during that time period, so some of that weight gained back was muscle. Although I do complain a...
11:33 PM Even if it seems like I'm only caring about my face lately, a lot still happens day to day that I care so much about and don't even mention. It's not that I don't want to mention these things, it's just that my train of thought doesn't reach these things. Two days ago, this Macbook Air M1...
11:56 PM It's been around 2-3 days since I last used any Minoxidil, and I think my appearance is slowly improving. To keep things consistent, I'm only going to be comparing the face that I have after waking up, with past photos and memories I have of my face after waking up. This is the first tim...
2:47 PM This morning my parents were both hysterical about how much older I looked. They said it was due to all these creams and stuff I bought recently from Temu and started applying to my face, and the red light therapy to my face as well. I started thinking about what it could be, and even from ...
11:04 PM Last night I started on a new manhwa which I've read up to the latest chapter. It's called "The Player Hides His Past" and I really enjoyed it. The main character who is now 27, created and role-played as a fictional character in a video game when he was 15, crafting his background, abilit...
10:17 PM This morning I weighed 159.3 pounds, yesterday I weighed 158.8 pounds, so I gained half a pound, and therefore since I want to lose weight, made adjustments to the amount I ate today. I didn't track my calories, but I should have eaten less today than yesterday, so I should be showing some...
7:53 AM Yesterday I was productive. Not very productive, but productive enough. I got a decent amount of work done, I exercised, I socialized, overall it was an alright day. However, yesterday still somehow felt lacking, even if it was an overall positive day. This morning I weighed 158.8 pounds, ...
7:59 AM I'm not sure what makes American labor more valuable than any other country's labor, yet an American would earn significantly more than any other nation for the same work. The minimum wage employee in the United States, earns as much or even more than doctors of other nations. The average s...
5:36 AM Whew. I weigh 160.5 pounds today, I just got on the scale a few minutes ago. The previous time I got on the scale was three days ago, and I was 163.6 pounds. My weight has been steadily creeping upwards the past 2 weeks, every time I got on the scale, I would weigh slightly more. So I've be...
1:26 AM There's a lot of not great things happening right now. I can feel depressed and defeated if I want to feel that way, but I'm going to choose to not feel that way. The numbers on the scale are doing terribly at the moment. This is my way of coping, but in reality too, there's not much differ...
10:47 AM I weighed 163.6 pounds as of this morning, whereas I was 163.5 pounds yesterday. So things aren't improving. I really have to change up my entire lifestyle now. I don't want to gain any weight. I can't keep declining like this. This actually isn't the only thing stressing me out. It's a l...
