Summary The Karate Kid – The Musical My appreciation for musicals have increased, as someone who has started practicing dance seriously these past couple years. I also enjoyed this particular musical — The Karate Kid — because the film holds a special place in my heart, as someone who binge watched the whole Kobra Kai…

It’s 08:08am and my daughter is still sleeping. So, I’m taking advantage of the limited solo time I have, using the last 60 minutes or so to play catch up on Math Academy Foundation I: My goal is to work towards Calculus I again and in order for that to happen, I need to finish…

🗓️ April 26, 2026 Summary A few days leading up to this 1:1, I revisited my Beyond The Moves (BTM) portal, where I found and watched a couple videos on attitude and facial expressions.

This goal for this project is to have us students learn more about web security and consists of three objectives, manufacturing three web attacks: cross site scripting, cross site forgery and structure query language (SQL) injection attack. And although I’m very familiar…

At work, I’m subscribed to an e-mail distribution group called “dogs@amazon.com”, a list dedicated to anyone interested in dogs. And today, I read an e-mail that broke my heart. A fellow Amazonian just had their second child and they are now giving away their 3 year old Labrador because they can no longer give it…

January 7th, 2019 marks the first day of my computer science master’s program through University of Georgia Tech. The week leading up to the first day was somewhat stressful since I was mid flight (returning to Seattle from London), my plane hovering over the massive blue sea, while I frantically typed away on my keyboard…
