I purchased A Handbook for New Stoics by Massimo Pigliucci about four years ago, alongside The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday. Start my day with The Daily Stoic, then end my day with A Handbook for New Stoics For the past four years, I have read The Daily Stoic every morning. It has grounded me each day, allowing me to reflect on my life before diving into daily activities.
Who would have thought that a game as simple as Tetris could have such a wild and complicated origin story involving business deals and politics? I do think it could’ve leaned into the gaming elements a bit more—maybe with some visuals or nods to the actual gameplay—but it was still super entertaining. The characters are engaging, and the stakes feel (ridiculously) high, which keeps you invested the whole time. I wish I could have watched it on the big screen!
The film is visually appealing, but it misses the mark by failing to capitalize on the atmosphere of intense hunting, instead relying on generic chase scenes. It’s also puzzling how they cut scenes to avoid gruesome content, despite being an R-rated movie. There’s an interesting moral dilemma at play, but it gets overshadowed by the bland execution of the plot and poor dialogue. I seriously doubt how they believed they succeeded in portraying Kraven as the villain of the story.
We want our lives to matter, but when we are among billions of billions of people, it’s challenging to feel like our existence truly matters. I mean, whatever we think, do, or say would be just a speck of dust in the grand scheme of the universe, and even just an unrecognizable blip in the entire timeline of history. So, why do we even care? Well, we care because, despite being just one among countless others, we are still one nonetheless.

Weather is something we can never be absolutely certain about until we actually experience it. We can guess, predict, and forecast, but weather always moves to its own rhythm, whether we like it or not. Even our most accurate forecasts can't always pinpoint how the weather will unfold or identify all the factors causing sudden changes. There are simply too many variables. This unpredictability often surprises us, but while we can’t prevent these surprises, we can prepare for them.

I’ve been wanting to write about my most used apps for so long but didn’t have enough motivation to do so, until I came across this directory of apps people commonly use. Inspired by this, I’ve decided to compile a list of my default apps. Prioritize Native Apps, then Fantastic Updates for New OS Support in Apps For over ten years, I have enthusiastically tried thousands of apps. Throughout this time, I have learned that the best apps are the ones that withstand the test of time, receive frequent updates to support new operating system features, and, if necessary, offer excellent options for sharing and exporting.

I’ve realized that I never fully trust myself. It’s a feeling I’ve carried since childhood. I often find myself uncertain and indecisive, thinking too much and doubting my choices even more. As a result, I tend to hold back and take very little action. I constantly worry that I’ll mess everything up if I make the wrong move, so I end up not moving at all. Honestly, I feel like Chidi from The Good Place—always second-guessing myself!

I appreciate how this prequel reveals the depth of its characters, particularly the relationship between Mufasa and Taka. This adds complexity to the overall story and allows for greater empathy towards each character. While Mufasa is portrayed as a great leader, I found myself more drawn to Taka’s narrative, and I hope there will be another installment focusing on this character. Visually, the film is spectacular, showcasing the advancements in technology within the film industry.
As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to conclude the year with a positive and meaningful reflection on all the experiences we’ve had and the person we’ve evolved throughout the year. Embracing this moment of gratitude, I’ve coined the phrase “Say Thanks to Your Past Self” for my lettering. It serves as a way to express my gratitude for myself this year, a reminder to acknowledge the experiences that have shaped me, and to bid a fond farewell to the past.
The movie was light, fun, and cute. The cast carried the movie with their charms, making it a heartwarming and entertaining experience, even with its thin plot.
“Is it expensive because it’s special, or is it special because it’s expensive?” This movie certainly drew inspiration from popular films, which I don’t mind as long as it’s well-executed and not blatantly copying the sources. Fortunately, this movie avoids that pitfall in my eyes. Apart from the rushed last act, I think they successfully created the atmosphere and vibe they intended. The last act felt rushed in every aspect, from character development to storyline, editing, and tension-building through sound and cinematography.
"My Hero Academia: You’re Next" When you ran out of ideas, you resorted to using the GOAT—Fullmetal Alchemist—as a source of inspiration! And wow, was that a quiz scene where you had to list as many USA states as possible? LOL On a more serious note though, I liked this one better than the previous one, as the pacing was better here. The new characters, Anne and Giulio, were fantastic and added a lot of emotion and depth to the story.
I finished watching *Wicked*, and it was an absolute blast! I felt like I was defying gravity and soaring through the air when it ended! I was only familiar with a couple of songs from the movie, like ‘Popular’ and ‘Defying Gravity,’ so I wasn’t expecting the whole experience to be so immersive. But it was! The storyline and the music were super captivating, and I now totally understand why people are such big fans of Wicked so much that they consider it a classic.
