Omar On The Go

Day 65 I purposely decided to skip the writing of the post last night, mostly motivated by the way I was feeling, and I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t just a thing of the moment and wanted to sleep it out first. As you know by now, these past few days I’ve been feeling a lot more anxious and stressed than usual but thankfully it has been coming down to way more manageable levels. So to summarize my feelings, I was just grateful and thankful and totally stress free and the reasons on to why comes down to the following: Playing an amazing retro game and actually going into it seriously - Paper Mario – a game that originally came out in 2000 on N64 but I never played it in its original form. I ended up getting it on Wii, Wii U and emulated but never got than a mere few hours every time I started it. This time around, on its switch re-release – I’ve been hooked for good. Watching a great TV show Sunday night – The last of Us – in which so far has been my favorite episode. Objective...

Day 64 As mentioned on an earlier post, Sundays are regularly the days I tend to like the least in part because it is the end of the weekend, but also because lately (last few years actually) they have become very straightforward for me: wake up, feed the cats, grab breakfast/brunch, hit the town, maybe hangout with friends, go to the supermarket, and eventually watch some good tv at night.  That's a typical Sunday for me and the reason why I mention this, is simply because the "supermarket" part is the one I am having the biggest problem with. It all comes down to the relationship between "supermarket" and "the end of the weekend" and to put matters worse, going to the supermarket has been turning into a kind of annoying task but not for the reasons you may think.  You see, what annoys me are the people and not the task itself, and bear with me for a second to go a bit deeper. One thing that drives me nuts is when I'm looking for a parking spot, I...

Day 63 As I may had said before, Facebook nowadays is my second favorite social media platform and well, today I just want to go over my first post over in Facebook, a platform I started using way back in 2007.  Prior to that though I used to check Hi5 on the regular, and related to social media, that was basically it if we don't count the ancient beast that were MSN Messenger or mIRC. With Hi5 I started to dislike it a lot, because it allowed a level of customization that would make visiting different profiles a big hassle because you would find animations, different letter types and sizes, colors, etc, very different from one another which worked into the decrement of the user experience. When Facebook came around, it was a mostly uniform experience, the interface was clean and pleasing to the eye which was something I was looking for at the moment.  According to my profile history, I started using the platform in September of 2007, and my very first post were the pictures o...

Day 62 For the past few hmmm, months, a friend posted on Instagram something that I found, stupid, short but at the same time hilarious and I liked it so much that I started to follow the account and reposting everything the account does. Mind you, the posts are always on Fridays, and normally it summarizes my feelings at the end of a work week, especially when is a tough one like this one.  By now, my friends "hate" me because I'm always posting this account on my stories, but I do like to remind people that life is about being happy and making the best out of your time, hence the posts. It has gotten into a point were on Fridays some of them are asking me if I'm reposting the account and others want to kick my ass because of it. But without further ado, here is the account -  Ladies and Gentlemen, (@ladiesandgentlementheweekend) • Instagram photos and videos   And below the video that they always share: Have a great weekend everybody.

Day 61 A few posts ago I said I wanted to dive deeper into my favorite channels from YouTube, and I have many.  Channels that cover history, science, movies, music, news, gaming, technology, commentaries, some celebrities and a few YouTube personalities, all in all, 75 channels according to my list of subscriptions.  Some I go over them on a daily basis, some every now and then, and some others that I just follow because I want to support the creators. That said, I won't be going over the list today, but I will be going over though one of my favorite videos on YouTube ever.  As I said in previous posts, this week has been a bit hectic for me and not feeling a 100% due to many things happening at the moment, yet this one video ALWAYS makes me laugh.  And ever since I saw this video for the first time 12 years ago, I cannot stop remembering it. I should be a pathology by now, but I wish I could let it go to go to something better, but after watching funny videos, I alw...

Day 60 Basically 2 full months writing this blog.  I may fail now and then on posting on time, but the whole idea still stands.  For the last few days, I’ve been feeling like I’m drowning in a glass of water due to my mind racing with many things at the same time and not really having time to wind down, and then things keep happening that keep on adding to my anxiety, while at the same time, other things happened that calm me down a bit. But nevertheless, there’s a saying in Spanish that goes “al mal tiempo, buena cara” which roughly translates as “to bad weather, (put on) a good face”, and basically means that you have to keep a good attitude and fight the tough times, and thankfully that’s my whole attitude but I do have to accept that I’m no superman and that internally I may feel bad. Is not a sad feeling, or feeling down, is just more of anxiety and stress and well, I just need to go through it.  The thing is that, just “stupid” things add to my stress level, for exa...

Day 59 Mmm, not a day to write much.  Is 10PM and today I've only been thinking about sleep and rest. I try not to worry much about feeling tired but lately I'm feeling much tired than ever and talking with one of the coaches in the gym I let out that I think I might be a bit anemic. And well, that has been stuck in the back of my head for quite some time already, I should have asked my mom to take a blood sample and do proper analysis to me but well, I guess I'll have to wait until I go back home. I'm off to bed tonight, and by the way, I already got my copy of "Platero y yo" 😎
