My birthday is September 10. September 11 2001 happened. While I'm not directly affected, it messed me up mentally because I thought I had something to do with it. It didn't help that the year after, I saw Space Shuttle Columbia on the launch pad in what would be its final mission.

I look like I'm straight out of school, sometimes people explain things to me like I know nothing.

Not that I think they're automatically malicious. Sometimes I find myself in the "explaining" position because I think not explaining makes me sound I'm cooped in an ivory tower.

Interesting. It's both the feeling and the act for me.

In Filipino, it's usyoso

I got my first 5G-capable phone noong Dec 2023, right before I visited PH from a sizeable city sa US. Mas nauna ko pang maranasan ang 5G sa Manila kesa dun sa local area ko.

internet is relatively fast and affordable

Words I never thought would go together when pertaining to the Philippines lol. Not that I'm complaining, it has no downside.
