Why I Like Computers

1. Entertainment

Video games, my passion. There's nothing better than finish the final exam of the semester and coming home to a library full of games to play on my computer. I have a blast playing with friends online, playing competitively in games such as League of Legends and Counter Strike (Although I've kinda stepped away from those games for a while), and sometimes I just like to chill and play single-player games.

2. Education

Being able to do my homework and studies from 1 device makes my life so much easier. Not only is taking down lecture notes faster, thanks to fast typing and auto-correct, but it also allows me to download all of my textbooks and readings and carry them around everywhere I go.

3. My Passion for Hardware

There has been so many improvements in technology in the past few years. With faster processors, more storage, power efficiency, aesthetics, I have grown to be a PC enthusiast. I absolutely love learning about the hardware behind desktop computers, laptops, smart phones, consoles, etc. And with that I have been able to build my own PC's! Not one, not three, but TWO PC's! It may seem a little insane for someone to build a computer, quite frankly it's not that complicated. You just look at guides online that tell you what you need to do, and all you gotta do is screw things in and plug-in some cables.


Here are a couple of pictures I took of the two PC's I've built

Why I Love Economics

Economics is a social science where studies the interaction of factors internally or externally that affects the market. I am a student of economics but more than anything else ; it is my HOBBY. Learning and reading economics not only gives me the understanding of wacky theories of why someone would actually buy and consume this particular good. But realistically, it is not about the actual reason why they would purchase the good for eg; I need food cause I am hungry? or something like I need petrol cause I have a car. Economics links the ties between a person in need of some good but what will change their perception of actually buying more of that particular good or less of it. Throwing consumption of a good aside, economics also touches on why producers would actually make or sell something. The reason is pretty simple behind all those complicated theories. They sell them because they are people actually buying them. Most of you will be like ; DUH isn't that o...

Why I love coffee

Image
There are only 2 types of people in the world. The ones who drink coffee or the ones that drink tea. Well, You guessed it! I am definitely a coffee person. I love coffee! I love how it taste, I love the whole ritual around drinking coffee, whether brewing it myself or just sitting in a coffee house with a nice hot cup of coffee catching up with a friend. And I love how it feels after I drink it! I enjoy my coffee when taken in small amounts, that way I can slowly enjoy and taste the aromatic smell of the coffee. In this post I'm going to list down some of my favorite coffees and what it is actually made out of. picture reference: Sydneymovingguide.com I personally love Espresso. Espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods as it has a high concentration of suspended and dissolved solids. As you can see in the picture above, espresso only consist 1/3 of espresso shot. So yes it will be bitter for those who are not use to drinking coffee on a daily b...

Why I hate Objects I'm sure there are things in your life that just make you want to scream "Why Me!?". This is one of those times. Let me make this very clear, I like things, whether they help with chores or are recreational goods, they make life a lot better. Dishwashers wash dishes. Computers play games. Washing machines wash clothes. Bookshelves hold things. Vacuum Cleaners Clean Floors. Fantastic Right? These objects, as brilliant and wonderful as they are, only bring joy if they are correct and in working order.
