Work: Self-employed software developer, currently designing veterinary shop microservices. Still haven't decided if I will use Java(spring) or Python(django-rest), (or none?) Insights will be highly appreciated ( อกยฐ อœส– อกยฐ)

Music: EDM, Robert miles ~ children . This song reminds me how we moved around a lot when i was 3-4 yo. (My father was a civil contractor on different companies, states apart) Finally, a song that sums up the confusions I had.

Tidbit: People highly underestimate their hearing capabilities. I mean, We're not dogs, but our ears collect more information than we ever asked for. All you have to do is LISTEN.

Best Meal: My mom's. And yes, I know I might be highly biased on this. I've tried pizzahut, KFC, and every premium buffet out here. But naaah. My mom hosts catering services, BTW.

Best place: to date? High school where I was studying. It's at the foot of Mt meru, at the gates of Arusha national park. Almost every day, we wake up to the sound of zebras and giraffes grazing high trees, takes all the stress away.

Man. That HS experience. I would give a kidney to see Africa like that

Lol, you should have seen us the day buffalo herd grazed 50m away from school fence bruv, absolutely no one got out of the hostels (of which, as a high schooler, jumping and hanging all day in the rooms). One of the guards almost got horned.

Still, I wouldn't trade anything on this earth with this experience. I'm highly thankful ๐Ÿ˜Š

Edit: To be frank, I was busy chasing my crush, who was also chasing her crush, who was my homie, whom we played GTA san Andreas together. (a stupid triangle ๐Ÿ˜ซ). Every time I got a chance to look out the window on my hostel and see these graceful creatures, it reminded me how lucky I was.
