  1. This is such a beautiful experience- It must have been very exciting when you received a reply!
  2. This is incredibly sad- I'm not much of a person who keeps up with world news, but this is harrowing. A news report pointed out that Lebanon was already in such a hard situation because of COVID-19. Praying that the brothers and sisters will be ok, and also the other people who need help and comfort. =(
  3. Her song "Keeping Your Head Up" is really great too- really danceable and super catchy 😃
  4. Same boat, man! FL is probably one of the more welcoming DAWs out there- I remember someone noting that using it almost felt like a video game, due to its relative simplicity compared to other DAWs. The pattern/loop based structure makes it very fitting for beats/EDM stuff, but it seems not to be AS good in live instrument tracking/orchestral compositions. Also, the stock plugins are really good. 😃
  5. I'm really liking their more upbeat, cheerful songs lately- namely Obla Di Obla Da and Octopus's Garden. Super fun to listen to, really puts you in a good mood 😃
  6. Not necessarily a Beatles fan, but Hey Jude has one of the best codas in popular music ever- the entire song is a build up to the euphoric "na na na Hey Jude" part, which in the 7 minute version, actually goes on for longer than the first section! Sang it A LOT around the house when I really got into the song xD
  7. I really like this one! I love the immediate 40's/50's feel it gives me when I listen to it- really fun to sing along to it as well.
  8. Oh yes, the Beatles! I remember singing "Hey Jude" in the karaoke machine during a summer gathering with the congregation- it was in a different key than the original though, so I kinda struggled xD
  9. Very interesting news! Its quite a brave move to take, at least in the view of the world, to sacrifice a future of more riches to focus on faith. I never knew he was one of us- I just knew him as your regular, solid starting point guard in the NBA. Very happy for him 😃
  10. This is actually a true experience, so thanks to my brother for telling me this xD After a usual day in the ministry, my brother (actual sibling) had a funny conversation with another brother. The other brother is a dad, so the conversation went something like this: (K for my sibling, D for the dad) K: Hey, if you ever have another son, you should name him Timothy again. D: Why should I name him that? K: So you can call him 2nd Timothy. That is like the simplest joke ever, but my brother retelling it caught me off guard xD
  11. Thank you for the appreciation! A lightbulb went off in my mind when I thought of the Plankton meme template xD
  12. I don't have a Bible study yet, but I would honestly be unprepared if I ever got one xD
  13. Shout out to all the hardworking pioneers out there 😃
  14. First meme I've posted here. Will try to have better quality ones soon xD

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    Kinda born into it- my grandmother helped raise me and my twin brother in the truth. According to her, she used carry us both in the Kingdom Hall, one on each arm, as babies!

    For most of my kid life, I was, I guess, a semi-Witness- I prayed to Jehovah nicely every night, answered in the Watchtower study occasionally, went to conventions, etc. But I never really digged deeper. But now, I guess I'm a full-Witness. =)

My Hobbies & Interests

  • My Interests
    Playing basketball with the brothers, playing video games, and producing electronic music on my laptop! I like reading about music theory, and cinematography (not a filmmaker by any means) as well. I also like playing my '5' string guitar. xD
  • My favorite books
    Thanks to my mom's collection of books, I have read some insightful and interesting books, of which I pick up usually when my phone is dead. Here are some:

    Raising Cain (Dan Kidlon, Michael Thompson)- a book by two psychologists that provide insight in to the emotions of boys. (I'm not even close to the age of being a parent, but this was very good read)

    All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten (Robert Fulghum)- a book detailing the many life experiences of the author, and the moral insights he has. It seems like a very deep book at first, but the warmth and optimism of it made it a very entertaining read!





  • My favorite music
    The most cliche answer, but I listen to it all- most specifically though, I really dig melodical electronic stuff, lo-fi hip hop instrumentals, indie rock, and the occasional oldies song that I'll hear in a movie or on the radio. xD
