I used to wonder why people put certificates like PMP, CASP, SSCP, CISSP, CISM to their LinkedIn names. Until I went and took the most basic IT certification (CC). Not only was that one of the trickiest exams I've taken, it's supposed to be the most basic in this field.  The issue is not just the ambiguousness of the test. Not only that, just that the exam is adaptive in the sense that the questions keep getting trickier the more correct answer you give. So you can't change your previous responses. Also, also... a question can have more than one right answer but it wants you to select the one that's most correct for that specific question. Talk about mind games. For this one specifically, I genuinely wasn't confident that I'd scale through up until I got my print out. And this is meant to be the basic exam. Not to talk of the behemoth that is CISSP and the likes. No wonder people do Hallelujah challenge for those kind of exams. It does take critical thinking to ...

Things you see and of course, no other choice than to believe there is an engineer (God) that orchestrated it. It can't have been by chance. It's not a matter of belief. There has to have been a being that crafted this so intricately that it exists as such... Why I never tilted to atheism. Cos this universe is so infinite that it doesn't even make sense how we exist. Like my brain doesn't comprehend the vastness of this world. So why doesn't God stop all this inhumanity going on. Well that's cos God has been here for eons.  What concern supernatural being and what we plebians are doing. If we want to destroy shit up, let's continue on that downward trajectory. When shit goes to naught, God will create new beings. Maybe ours are a bad experiment and he's just observing us so when we eventually blow up this universe, then some parts of the brain that causes us to be so terrible as humans will be removed. So I suppose I'm more apathetic towards religion...

My friends do know I have a love-hate relationship with my birthdays, it's usually filled with dampened spirit. But today, I kept waiting for the despondency to come, it didn't. I won't claim I've had the financial success like I craved, but despite the multitude of rejections I've faced, a good number of things have been going in the right direction for me. I finally have a semblance of career clarity that I have been missing. For the majority of the 3rd quarter of last year, I've been telling my friends, there is something I'm missing. There is something I'm missing. And it's moreso clarity which I think I've conquered to an extent. I no longer feel dread as the human anniversary numbers add up. Clarity of thoughts. Clarity of Purpose. We all need that. Also, pressure made me want to attain that clarity. I called it my quarter life crisis, cos my family and friends have this expectations of my success and I have to live up to it. I'll refer...

Just completed the Epic Heat program which was so intense. A tear dropped outta my eye when I saw the confetti after the EMOM workout ended. I feel incredibly proud of myself. Even though I didn't finish day 48 because the push-ups were incredibly hard on me and I half-assed, I figured I'd better replace it with pilates so I don't do mediocre moves. Despite that, these past 10 weeks (plus a deload week I took after week-5) has been challenging and I was able prove to myself that I can commit to a programme and to do hard things. Next on the list is the deload week, after which I dive into a series of shorter workouts spread for 4-5 weeks before embarking on another long programme. Caroline changed my life. I can't even. Like I can't even begin to explain. Went to the market the other day and my customer was like, "you look lean and fit." I was just preening cos around early 2025, the same person had told me, you've added weight. See, I know we're n...

Yo, you guys should check this out. Got most of my details correct down to my battery and I didn't even sign in or give it anything. See this IP address thing I'm pleasantly surprised that it's showing me as privacy conscious. Ever since I started dabbling into cybersecurity and OSINT, I'm more careful now. Then it's a wonder e no see me as developer considering the many versions of my development apps I have on my phone but I'd count that a win I suppose. At least it knows I'm broke and frugal as hell. Omg, we're cooked. I do know there isn't privacy online but this one is a discovery. Here is the link - https://yourinfo.hsingh.app/

This is about hair. About 4c hair specifically and if you know anything about this hair texture, it's a whole politics all by itself. So personally, I've never really cared about my hair, natural hair to be specific. I'd like to ascribe that indifference to having my hair barbed when I was still in nursery school. So you could say I've had my hair on low cut much longer than I have a full head of hair.   I always resort to cutting the hair when I feel like the maintenance is too much. As earlier mentioned, I never quite cared for having hair. In any case, that was my modus operandi until I began picking on my hair whenever it grew to a knot-able afro. This constant manipulation usually occurs when I'm stressed, bored or just not busy. I knew I had to change or start making hair again when I woke up after a particularly stressful previous day and the hair on my bed was just a lot. I literally went down to a hair dresser that morning to see if my hair could make corn...
