The lastest one has me talking about the July 2026 Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). After some time away from the books, I’ve…

Since then, I’ve been obsessed with “Dandori.” Naturally, when Re-Ment released the Pikmin Terrarium Collection 2, I wanted to jump in; as luck…

My 1st game in the MH Stories series. I am a not-so-casual mainline Monster Hunter fan. I tried MH Stories 1 and 2, but the child-focused nature of the games was not working for me after the demos and trailer.

Some would say I lack discipline, but I find studying with textbooks extremely boring. 6 or 7 years ago I started a YouTube series where I used cutscenes in video games to practice Japanese. I did one for the Witcher in Monster…

When I started this blog in February 2006, it was intended to be an online journal where I keep track of my Japanese studies and share my thoughts on discoveries about and interests related to Japan and life in Jamaica.

2025 has come and gone, and what a year it was. Writing my 2025 Year in Review is a bit difficult (and late) this time around, but I am determined to get it done. My plan for 2025, according to my 2024 review, was: “I just want to shine my brightest and do my best…

Kanji Starter by Daiki Kasuya had been sitting in my Amazon wishlist for years. Seeing it pop up on social media and most recently on KiaraNYCjp’s discord made me take the plunge and get it. It also helps that it was on sale for 500 yen. It is small and easy to follow and will…

Goku; the hero of planet earth, originally sent from Planet Vegeta to conquer us, but now the greatest warrior in the universe, was spotted in Tokyo recently? For such a powerful and well-known guy, he was quite nice. Taking the time to pose with me for a photo. No one tell him I (was?) am…

The never-ending quest to improve my Japanese continues. After plateauing again because much of my brain power was focused on completing grad school, I am back on the Japanese studying train with Japanese Folktales for Language Learners. Reading interesting books in Japanese, like Unko Kanji Drill, The Boring Book, I Have a Complaint and others…

A couple of years ago, my interest in personal data security combined with learning the Python programming language birthed LifeLogger. A program that interacts with the GPS on my phone and a bunch of application programming interfaces (API) to spit out a “log” of my “life” hence, Life Logger or, "LifeLogger".
