Missed one day of posting, but who is counting right? When I stopped with the podcast I believe there were above 200 people subscribed to the podcast. Now I guess this blog is read by 0 person. I couldn’t even find this blog through Google search. It is how this abandoned address has become.I believe the hardest thing of being isolated is to deal with the sense of time. When your life is
Normally I am not the kind of person who bothers others a lot. After the fight with hotel, I contacted my best friend in Taipei and asked him to buy a few things for me and drop them off at the hotel. Great to have friends. I do not have many friends, but a few truly good ones to consider myself lucky. On the quarantine side, the meals are repeating and honestly getting quite boring. If I stick
Today the meals start to repeat, which indicates that the new week has begun. I have been in quarantine for 7 days now. Tried to connect with my old friend in Taipei and he agreed to bring some stuffs to me. It is a relief to know that I am not totally dependent on the mercy of this hotel. Need to start to work again on Monday. Hope that it will be a good week.
Just past midnight and that means the official entering of my second week of quarantine. Had a small fight with the hotel today. Few days ago I asked hotel if they are able to buy beer for me from the convenient store next door. In Taipei, the density of convenient store is world famous. There is basically convenient store at every corner of the city. Especially the hotel I am staying in is in a
Final working day of the week and it went just like another working day. Clearly noticed that my eyes are getting quite sore and there comes the realization that no matter if I am working or resting, my eyes are fixed to one of the screens. It is the screen of my laptop, the screen of my iPad, or the screen of my phones. Need to find a way to cut down the accumulative screen time. The other thing
It is actually not easy to write journal everyday. Didn’t develop this habit, not having much to say, or simply too busy with other stuffs. Who knows what will happen if I can really keep it up for 14 days. Maybe there is no need to give oneself too much pressure, but what is a content creator without discipline? There is much more to do as a YouTuber than a podcaster. In both content creation
Sitting at the small balcony to type this piece. This balcony is one of the important reasons why I chose this hotel as my temporary space for my meditation journey. To still have the possibility to get in touch with the world outside not being blocked by windows. During the day it is very hot, but in the night it is the comfortable temperature sitting outside after shower without blow dry my
Not so special day overall. Trying out some delivery apps, but surprisingly (or not really) that not so many of them deliver alcohol drinks. After some digging I found out that it is due to liability reason. Delivery services want to avoid delivering alcohol or tobacco to minors, which might posses the means to order these deliveries. Well, they obviously didn’t consider adults being quarantined
Set the alarm for 8:00 in the morning, but finally woken up by a phone call from the hotel at 11:30. I started to develop the habit to take melatonin on the first three days of travel involving time zone changes. It worked quite well for me to deal with jetlag. The first night has never been a problem anyway because it is normally the most tiring night after the bad sleep you get on the flight.
Back to Taiwan due to circumstances and starting my 14 days of isolation today. Just some short notes to register this experience. I am starting out full of confidence and think such an introvert like myself should be able to go through this effortlessly. Well, only time can tell. The biggest challenge is obviously the lack of space for exercising. I mean, I do not sport normally, but make on
I was fortunate to be awarded the RSM/Intermediair EMBA Scholarship 2011. I've written an essay about the role of trust in social networks and also the privacy issue thereof.

Haven't visited this blog for a long time. Due to a stream of spam comments, I decide to take a look and found a handy new function of blogger. It's a way to mark the spam comments as spam mail and have them moderated automatically. Really cool....Since I'm already here, so what the heck, let me also post this short piece to just make the blog "up to date". Take care everyone, who ever is still
