Hello 2019!

Image result for 2019

Wow, another year has come and gone. Where does the time go? Also, where does Time itself go? I've never thought about that before.

I know this is my 3rd post today since I slacked off a bit the last couple of months, but I still wanted to remember those months in a post of their own.

2018 went by so fast and I did so many things that I forgot to check in with myself. That's why my resolution for 2019 is to keep myself healthy and to remember to check in with myself periodically and ask myself how I'm doing from time to time.

First, keeping healthy. I have been plagued by headaches pretty much all of my life and I think I finally found the reason: sugar. I noticed late last year that when I eat too much sugar I almost instantly get a headache (even one cupcake will do it). Which is why in 2019 I want to watch my sugar intake more closely to avoid having so many headaches. Also, I want to keep up with my running. I did a good job last year with running consistently and I want to continue that in 2019. Running is one of my most favorite things to do and helps keep my head clear - I want to feed that habit.

Second, checking in with myself. I lived last year pretty fast that sometimes I wouldn't really reflect on how I'm doing or feeling. I downloaded an app called Daylio which asks for your mood a few times per day and tracks how you're feeling. It's a really neat idea and I want to try it out this year. I started using it today and that simple question of "how're you feeling?" along with 5 multiple choice responses has already made me slow down and reflect a bit.

Lastly, I want to publish an app - that is my ultimate goal for 2019. I'm looking forward to what the new year brings!

October Apple Event

Image
I'm sure many people know this already, but I'll say it anyway: I love Apple products. I was giving an iPod Shuffle when I was 12 (played a ton of Brick Breaker of course). I remember when the iPhone first came out in 2007. I was completely amazed. I saved my money for an entire year and bought the 2nd generation iPod Touch. The App Store was launched that year and I was fully involved in the ecosystem. I also started jailbreaking my devices during that time and have done so ever since. I've had the iPhone 4, 5, 6, and now I'm using the X (I usually stay away from the S releases). Sadly, I've sold or given away all of those devices (college student, needed money). Ah, now to the point of this post (sorry for all that digression up there): Apple is having an October event next week. I've been wanting to purchase an iPad Pro since its release, but have held off. I won an iPad Mini in a raffle a while back and now I think it's time for an upgrade. I'll

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day. I've been thinking a lot about mothers these days, especially my own. She's a gentle mother overall, but stern when she needs to be. I often felt she was too gentle on me and my siblings, but who am I to judge something like that. She's so forgiving of us. We could do anything wrong and she will find a way to create gentle lesson out of it. As I grow older, I realize more and more that her endless forgiveness is her way of instilling a sense of kindness, love, and community into us. My mom always gives the benefit of the doubt to us and to others. She is a mother to my siblings, myself, and so many others. Happy Mother's Day. I will see you on Sunday and your coming birthday.

Going to Colombia!

Image
It looks like I'm going to Colombia later this month! I never really though of going to this country, but things just kind of ended up this way. Here's what happened. I was supposed to go to Chile with a couple of friends. We booked things over the summer, but some travel paperwork got delayed. We were going to cancel the trip, but decided to checkout Colombia instead. I was a little apprehensive at first since I never thought of visiting their, but then I thought if I don't go now then I may not ever get the chance to go there again! After researching a bit, I see there is so much to see and a great culture to experience. I'll be there for a little less than a week total, so I hope I can squeeze everything into that time frame. Looking forward to this trip and seeing another part of the world!
