  • Oh, just to clarify, I didn’t go to South Korea, LOL.

    Somehow one of those busses made its way here[1]. We import a lot of trash, like literally, vehicles with too high of a mileage to sell in your local market? We got you, we’ll take them and use them for another 20 years. Lately we’ve been importing a lot from South Korea, you could stick your head out of the window at any given moment and see a couple of Hyundai Sonatas.

    1. The Dominican Republic.






  • Because then I’m giving my phone more responsibility and the goal is to take away some from it, I don’t want to be reading and get bombarded with notifications from social media, or get calls, or drain my battery by doing do. I want a dedicated device for that, an a tablet is more capable than an e-reader. I also want to practice writing and a tablet with a digital pen is good for that purpose.





  • A lot of people saying white + male, I’m not white but I’m light skinned in a country where colourism is a social plague, random people literally call me “whitey” and “blondy” despite me literally having a black mother, when I tell them I’m not white they reply “yes, you are”, and I’m like “OK, mfer, apparently you know better than me to what ethnic group I belong”. Can’t say I haven’t benefited from it, the police has almost never given me shit (they did once to be exact). I’m also a heterosexual cis man, and even tho I was born and raised in the poorest district of a big city my father always told me to cultivate my intellect, so I learned multiple languages (English being one of those), went to community college, taught myself software development, etc. I didn’t have the biggest head start in life, but compared to my friends in the hood, and women and immigrants across the whole country I simply cannot complain.
