An Observer or a Judge?
I have actually written about this in the past – about 7 years ago – I’ll link it here. I do want to highlight this paragraph as this paragraph pretty much answers this question:
I often believe I have a pretty good judge of character when it comes to people though I would never say it to that individual’s face because that would be judging people. I can typically read an individual like a book by observing that person’s behavior or through interacting with this person. You see, the action, speech, and appearance of a person can say a lot about that person.
I just want to point out that I have been wrong before and being a “good judge of character” does not mean I go around judging people. I wish I was that brave but I’m not that kind of person. Knowing these things about a person will merely give me information of whether or not I want to continue a conversation with this individual or walk away. I don’t think anyone should have the right to judge another person’s character, only God has such right.
I think it’s the reason why it peeves me so much when I see another person judging a person based on his/her appearance. A lot of the times, how a person dresses does not define that’s who he/she is.
Take me, for example, my mom has always called me “sloppy” but really, it’s because it’s very hard for me to find something that fits me.
So, see, even a keen observer might be getting me wrong. My point is use people’s character as a reference point and not as something to judge.

Close Calls with Wildlife: Lessons Learned
What Am I Good At?
This is a tricky one because there might be things which I feel I’m good at but other people will think I suck at. I guess it’s all about perspective on this one.
- I think I’m good at trying to at least 2 or 3 moves ahead and I’m not talking about playing games. I’m talking about life. I’ve always treated life as a game of chess where one must look ahead before deciding the right move. I don’t remember when I started thinking like that but I can’t stop.
- I guess I’m good at hands-on learning. I can catch on quickly when I can see someone do the same thing or something similar. I think this is more like mimicking but still, it’s skill.
- I feel I’m typically pretty good at expressing the stories that’s playing in my head in words.
- I’m pretty good at numbers. I have been playing a game called “Cross Math” on my phone. It’s similar to crossword puzzles but with numbers. This game involves quite a bit of mental math. So far, I can solve a puzzle in less than minute. I tried competition and beat out quite a lot of people. I guess that means I’m pretty good at mental math.
- I feel I’m getting pretty good at gardening. If you asked me 3 years ago, I would’ve told you I have a black thumb. Back then, I couldn’t keep anything alive but, now, 3 years later, I’m growing kale and vegetables in the winter and they are all alive. So I guess I’m getting pretty good at growing food.

Hello December 2024!
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #327 – 5 Elements
This week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge’s theme – 5 elements – hosted by Sofia at Photographia, had me a little stumped, which was why I put it off (that and procrastination got the better of me) until Monday. The 5 Elements are consisted of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Metal/wood, hopefully I will represent them well in my post.

5 Things I’m thankful for in 2024
I began this tradition on this blog years ago where I would list 5 things I’m thankful for during that particular year. I’ve been looking forward to the break over Thanksgiving that I completely forgot it’s the time of the year to give thanks. I wish my blogging friends in the US a Happy Thanksgiving and even if you’re in an area in the world where you don’t observe Thanksgiving, there’s always time to give thanks, even to the little things in life.
