What I'm doing now

Music

I've been listening to a lot of instrumentals lately. I've been learning a lot of Polyphia, Covet (h/t Jazel for introducing me to this band), and Strawberry Girls. I highly recommend them if you haven't heard of them!

Here's my recommended pieces for each artist:

Polyphia — Playing God, ABC, Ego Death
Covet — Glimmer, shibuya
Strawberry Girls — Tasmanian Glow, Mini Ripper

I don't know what happened but I've been learning a lot of music again lately. On the guitar, the bass, and the piano.

All my guitars are on the shop right now and I can't wait to get them all back! The luthier said it'll take about 15 to 30 days since they have lots of backlog but I can wait till then!

Health

I've been playing a lot of badminton with my friends lately. We've been playing almost every weekend since 2023! I've really felt my technique improve over the past year of playing. This last weekend I especially felt sharp which is pretty rare!

The downside of "getting good" though is since the footwork and the movement is getting more efficient, I don't get as out of breath as I did before! It's great but at the same time, I really love the feeling of being out of breath after a workout.

I've started doing some indoor cycling in addition to badminton and I'm already exhausted 15 minutes in.

Career

Aside from Medley, I've been working on some consultancy lately. For one of my gigs, we landed a project that I might be point person on! Here's hoping for a lot of stuff to work on!

I've also decided to invest some time in my actual website. And I really want to make the contents of this one last.
