  /now page

  I am now part of the /now page move­ment start­ed by Derek Sivers. I cre­at­ed a What I’m Doing Now page on this blog. I felt this is a bril­liant idea because it made me pause, think about what is impor­tant to me and write how I am spend­ing my time. Here is Derek’s Now page. Here is the list… Read more

  I can touch type

  It is a shame but I could­n’t touch type until recent­ly. One day in July 2013 my boss was pass­ing by my desk. It was not the first time he was pass­ing by me or noticed me typ­ing with two fin­gers. But that day he stopped by my desk and encour­aged me to learn touch typ­ing so… Read more

  Worldwide WP 5K 2015

  I com­plet­ed WWWP5k this after­noon. This is my first 5k run. I’m pleased that it is part of world­wide Word­Press com­mu­ni­ty event. I ran in the Unitec uni­ver­si­ty cam­pus near my home. I hoped run in the near­by park but the day got hec­tic and I end­ed up run­ning in my beau­ti­ful neigh­bor­hood. I am hap­py with… Read more

  Three milestones and two goals

  It is rain­ing mile­stones this week. I hit 100 day streak in med­i­ta­tion. I start­ed med­i­tat­ing this Jan­u­ary but failed rather quick­ly. I say with expe­ri­ence that try­ing to start med­i­ta­tion with twen­ty-minute ses­sions is a sure shot way to stum­ble. So I start­ed again in May with Calm app. I start­ed with their begin­ner pro­gram and even­tu­al­ly real­ized ten… Read more

  Exercise Milestone

  I fin­ished exer­cis­ing this after­noon and checked in to Coach.me to find this inter­est­ing mile­stone. It is indeed 211th check-in as I only start­ed count­ing after the first eleven. 110 of those were in 2014. The rest 101 are in this year. This cheered up my oth­er­wise regret­ful after­noon. I ate well up until lunch and then screwed… Read more

  Bay of Islands

  We drove to Bay of Islands for the week­end. This is the log of the loca­tions — most of them in the waters — dur­ing the Hole in the Rock Dol­phin Cruise on Sun­day morn­ing. Read more

  Elevate milestone

  I reached 401 day long streak on Ele­vate today. I was at 101 last time when I wrote about this cool edu­ca­tion­al app. Ele­vate com­bines two of my pas­sions: delib­er­ate prac­tice and build­ing tiny habits. This is what makes me reach out to Ele­vate as soon as I wake up every morn­ing. It hurts to break a habit streak. Espe­cial­ly,… Read more

  How much is too much

  As a per­son­al blog­ger most­ly writ­ing about myself, my biggest dilem­ma is to decide how much is too much. I often won­der if I am expos­ing myself too much on the inter­net. Until recent­ly, I did not even dare to have my pho­to on this blog. I am cer­tain­ly not ready to post my fam­i­ly’s pho­tos here. I may, in the… Read more
