One of the hardest things to understand in teaching, for me, is the fact that what I think is best for my students might not necessarily be the best for them. Most of the time, seeing their immediate reaction to my lessons gave me a lot more insight as to how to adapt, rather than planning for it.

I recently succeeded at replacing the battery in a gameboy cartridge, all by myself Soldering wasn't easy for someone with a non-steady hand, but its so satisfying to finally be able to play and save the game, after all that work. Soldering isn't as scary as I initially thought!

Taking care of a house all by myself is tough work, if not done regularly. Maintenace work like roof leaks, plumbing, and just cleaning up stuff from the roof and other spots i dont visit often are some of the ones I found to be a real workout. I dont think i can get used to walking on rooftops.

I will update my drawing endeavors here from now on! This one is my attempt to draw a dragon of my own! I'm too stubborn to learn how to draw properly, so I simply did what I always do, brute forcing everything by hand. #handdrawn #art #dragon #krita

(Not) family photo Its like a track record of my previous attempts. Think the quality gets better overtime! (Not the baby ones though. Those came pre-made) #gunpla #gundam

Finally finished this one #gunpla ! Took me about 2-3 hours. Not my best attempt, but it stands and poses, so I'll call it a success lol Not being glued to my laptop, and having some time off from work did wonders to my options of activity. I had a blast this time around.

Playing with the kids! (Not really kids) This time on #krita, I used a single brush for everything, and two layers (3 if we count the default background). a bit messy, but I did this in like an hour or so. So I would call it a success when it comes to learning how to draw! :D

Tried out some brushes in #krita for the first time! Actually had a blast, while also realizing how vast the potential is for me to illustrate stuff. So here they are! Don't worry about the lil guy, the bird is not stomping it.

I discovered #3dpaint on my laptop several years after I started using it. I didn't even know it was something that comes with my device for free. I spent a few days on it and made these two drawings, before moving to other art program.

I used to draw my own thumbnails for my #undertale livestreams! It's quite messy, but I loved the process regardless (and the result too, I suppose)

Oh, I want to share a sketch I made for my first ever #dnd #oc character! He is Tarsis Arn Il Dalimir E Ernivur. A wizard that refuses to use any magic that involves controlling the natural elements. My party call him either "Arn" or just.. "E". Also included a meme I made for one of our journey

This I believe, was the last drawing I did, using #mspaint It's supposed to be a female fantasy knight. Man, I wish I didn't use the bucket tool for this one..

I made these two years ago on #mspaint lol I was all about #ConquestofElysium4 back then. Great times.. I'm thinking of creating new ones for #ConquestofElysium5 too!

I wonder if its better to believe my student's ability, or to assume they are lacking to then help make sure that they are capable? It became a game of either putting blind faith, or underestimating them, which is not optimal by a long shot then again, i suppose tests are there to solve this issue

I remember someone commissioned me to write their thesis in English. Offered good money for it too, but I was honestly not sure whether I can do it with good conscience, as I'm pretty sure it's not fair. Anyway, I had to deep-fry corn starch for a week to survive, but at least I didn't regret it.

I recently decided to read some of my older creative writing projects and It was awful. I developed a new fear due to this. If after a couple of years my writing skill reaches a point where my current skill seems awful in comparison, am I gonna be trapped in this cycle for all eternity?

Well, well, well. Looks like I found myself a new social media platform to be a part in. Hopefully it will be a nice place to be on the internet (god knows we need one these days.)
