LOOKING BACK

It’s 2:30AM and I just finished listening to episode 11 of my podcast (on 2x speed). Why? I went out for drinks with my brother and his friends tonight where at some point we went through best and worst pick-up lines, followed by worst break-up lines and that immediately reminded me of this episode.

I have to say, I really like this episode, and it made me miss making podcast episodes. But as life goes, there is a time and a season for everything, and right now (and the last 2.5 years) is just not the season of podcast-making, but I know the day will come when I shall revive this podcast! For now, all i can hope is to maybe make a Reddit 2.0 episode before the summer ends? no promises…

P.S. i do make the occasional posts on the blog so if you are interested be sure to check that out (link in bio)

that’s a wrap on that!

After 426 days without pork, 395 days without beef, 365 days without chicken, and 335 days without fish, seafood, or any kind of meat at all, I am done with my challenge! I went to two whole meat-f…

new post! i guess this means it's time to change my description from "early-mid twenties" to just "mid-twenties"

Today I decided to take a 6.5 mile (10.5km) walk on the way back from a doctor’s appointment because I really enjoy taking walks, and as I was having at my walk I decided that once i got home…

Whoa! I am so glad that God put this on my heart to be what I did for Lent. It has been such an incredible blessing to hear from God through his many men and women who preach and profess His name. …

Happy Ash Wednesday to those of you who celebrate Lent, and ultimately Easter. For those who may not be aware, Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Easter where (some) Christians mourn the death…

we might not have a candid shar’n episode discussing last nights episode of yet, but here’s a bit of what we’re thinking as we head into the season finale.

i’m thinking kiss zac, marry ivan, kill ben.

LOOKING BACK

y’all, i really enjoyed listening to this episode! maria, nardos and i really just went for it with zero fear of exposing ourselves and expose ourselves we did.

this episode saw us discuss how we would want to be chased by ~~potential suitors~~ as well as talk about what to do when you have feelings for or date your friend. my only wish is that i had let the conversation run a little longer.

so while there’s no new episode this week, there’s this one you can go back and listen to!

06/11/2020

🎵🎵so no one told you there’s no new episode this week? *clap clap clap clap* 🎵

well, check out last weeks episode where i’m at it again, saying much about stuff i know little about, and this time i was predicting who would win the 2020 us presidential election!

i also went through a few unrelated things i found interesting on reddit, and ofc ended with black mirror!

happy listening!

LOOKING BACK

it’s been almost 3 months since i released my first episode and i think i’m finally ready to go back and listening to my episodes!

i listened to episode 1 this weekend and man, oh man.... such ChAoS!! if you went on to listen to episode 2 after that whole mess, you’re the realest!!

despite all the chaos of that episode, it did warm my heart a little as it was a bit of a reminder as to why i decided to start the podcast - not for it to gain immense popularity, but to document and share some of my thoughts and most importantly my conversations with people i love!

my episodes have since become more structured and less chaotic, but i’m glad i can always go back and listen to those first episodes :)

21/10/2020

while i do some minor edits on and i’d commentary on The Bachelorette s16 e2, go check out last weeks commentary on episode 1!

19/10/2020

check out the newest episode if you haven’t already on cancelling cancel culture!

after watching the social dilemma on netflix i thought it a good idea to follow up last week’s episode with this one.

i also discuss one of the best episodes of black mirror, white christmas (s2 e4)z

happy listening!

10/10/2020

a bit of my ramblings on why NOT the usa - democratic or republican, being a "trump-et" is a whole new ball game

fun fact about this episode: i was talking SO fast as i was recording it that i had to slow down the entire recording by up to 10%
