Currently faced with a backlog of 'drafted' posts.
Why is it so you ask? Well, I tend to post stuff which are rather 'factual'. So some articles may have to be proofread and re-edited. Then there's the occasional need to cross-refer with previous articles or outside sources.
It's not my style to post a bunch of pictures with little written content. I'll leave that to the more 'trendy' people. After all, posting without in-depth knowledge of the subject matter just goes to show a writer's ignorance.
Anyways, the ideas for some of the articles may have stem from my earlier ideas and writings. Searching through random scribbles, weird diagrams, and sketches found in hidden recesses of my room is like discovering messages left behind by a lost civilization. I taken upon the difficult task to decipher what I may have left behind more than a decade ago.
If I do find anything usable, only minimal editing shall be made as to preserve the original intent of the earlier writings. Hence, you may notice the similar but subtle difference in wordings and ideas, back then and now, especially those dealing with philosophy.

Blogging Frequency vs. Stress Levels
It has been 2 months since I "officially" started blogging. I had procrastinated for 3 years. It's more of a psychology issue, but that will be a story for another day. Anyway, it seems like nowadays I'm firing out posts at increasingly rapid speeds.
I wonder if there is a correlation between my blog-posting rates and my fluctuating stress levels. I hope this trend doesn't go way out of hand 'cos I'm already hooked to coffee. Sometimes it's bad enough that I'm experience occasional withdrawal symptoms. Sure, I could use some of those New Age relaxation techniques. But it's too much of a bother, so maybe I'll just stick to blogging.
Surviving a barrage of assignments, labs reports and presentations is one thing, staying sane is a whole other level. Now with the final exams around the corner, it's a wonder I'm still not foaming at my mouth.
Need to get my dose of fantasy/detective novels. Reading those should be a great stress-reliever.
Ja, mata

Konnichi wa!
This is Victor to my ever-growing circle of family and friends.
You may also have known me as Artemus in most online interest groups.
This is my first time starting a personal blog. I've been designing websites and blogs for others, but never had the motivation get a blog of my own. My friends have been bugging me to start one for quite awhile now.
Seldom reveal much about myself, so here goes:
I'm the type of person people would refer as a polymath. A jack of many trades. Mainly because I'm just well read. My personal interests includes stuff like etymology, physics, gardening, artificial intelligence to paleontology, history, paper-crafting and zoology. As you can see, it's difficult for my to stick to a particular hobby. That's 'coz I'm often side-track. Easily intrigued by way things work. (>_<)
Dreams of winning the Nobel Prize one day, though far-fetched. Knowledge is my salvation from cruel world. Being practical, simple, and elegant is my philosophy.
Current exploits include upgrading my programming skills, modifying Linux OS, and tinkering with my home projects during the weekends. If I'm feeling generous enough, I may try out some cool bio-chem experiments just for fun. Nowadays, due to the lack of working materials, I devoted much of my time to either hanging out at the forums, or reading up on the latest on science journals.
Well, that pretty much summarize what I've been up to till now. I'll be posting about many weird and cool stuff. So, be sure to keep an update.
Happy reading (^-^)
