    What makes you laugh?

    Usually my friends make me laugh. They do by cracking a funny joke or it’s by something they have (implicitly) endorsed (e.g., through a comedic post sent via an Instagram DM).

    How would you improve your community?

    Simple. Tell them to get engaged in local civics by giving them the true history of this nation. Then I’d tell them vote.

    This is very simple explanation, but I’ll expound further on this.

    What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

    I’ve been playing with the morning ritual to optimize my time recently. This is the latest version of the routine, but these things are subject to change.

    Whenever I wake up, I just say little prayer and say “Good morning” and give thanks to the Lord. I hit the bathroom right after to use it then do my daily weigh-in. Once done, I grab a liter of water and down it before start to do my Bible reading.

    While reading, I’ll pray, meditate, and write in my journal. Whatever is on my mind I try to flush it out through the writing. Post-writing, I’ll hit the bathroom to flush out that liter of water that I had earlier. Finally I’m ready to hit the gym and get my workout on.

    That’s a brief recap of my typical first hour. I don’t always follow this to a “T”. I do deviate a bit but I try to adhere to it so that I can get a good start to my day.

    Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

    What makes a person unique? Obviously we can use physical qualities but let’s try to get a little bit deeper. I believe that a person’s philosophy (or worldview) and personality are what makes them unique. In other words: it’s what they think, the filter that they use to process the info from thinking, and the way they express how they think.

  • Nene’s Taqueria – Food Review

    Lately, my friends have been sending me posts on Instagram of various people doing food reviews at food shops and restaurants. One of these places that caught my eye was one of Nene’s Taqueria in Brooklyn. IAM and I took a trip there last night.

    We got there around 8 p.m. The place was packed with customers waiting for their orders and those consuming their selections. Also, since it was early spring, the weather was nice but wasn’t warm enough to dine outside.

    Nene’s is known for their variety of birria dishes. We decided to get the birria pizza and ramen. They were able to translate the typical birria cuisine and flavor into an unorthodox presentation like the “pizza” which really is a big quesadilla, and into a noodle soup with a rich broth.

    On a scale of “1” to “5”, with whole integers and “3” out of the question, I would give Nene’s Taqueria a 4. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for the next one.
