Now
This is my now page, documenting what I'm focused on at this time of my life.
Last updated on .Reading Period Power
It's fascinating to me that half of the human population has a reproductive system and still I know so little about the menstrual cycle.
Reading this book not only lets me understand my girlfriend better. Also, it allows me learn a lot about the wonders of the human body.
Try this on for size:
Adrenaline and noradrenaline are the first responders to any stressful situation that you find yourself in. Adrenaline makes your heart rate jump up, makes you breathe faster, tenses your muscles and gives you a surge of energy.
Noradrenaline diverts blood from the organs that aren't essential when it comes to fighting or fleeing, such as your digestive tract, reproductive system and skin, in order to pump blood to your heart, lungs and muscles (this is why when you lie down after a busy day or stressful journey you'll hear your belly gurgling; it's a sign that blood flow is returning to your gut, and the movement it uses to digest and move food along has been switched back on again, thus producing a gurgle.)
Preparing for the CPACC Certification
I'm currently studying for the Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) Certification
Feels like I have procrastinated long enough to get certified. I want to take the exam in the beginning of June and I study for half an hour every day. I'm really excited to do this by now!
Researching for the European elections
The European Parliament elections are upon us. Having just ordered my absentee ballott to the Philippines (my current location on my trip around the world), I now gotta do my homework and decide who to vote for.
If you're a European citizen, exercise your democratic right and vote between the 6th and 9th of June.
Watching the NBA Playoffs
In the 21-22 season I was really into watching the NBA. But at some point I just realized how much of my time it consumed.
When I arrived in the Philippines in mid-May, I got into my basketball mode again. Filippinos and Filippinas are all over basketball. And so am I, yet again!
