My time in Italy : Aperitivo

There is a tradition in Itay that I found out trying to meet a girl, ok, don't get any ideas. She is pretty I don't deny, but she friendzoned our entire group as soon as we met, no we didn't hit on her, that's how she introduced herself. "Enough of girl" I hear you say, but she introduced me to this awesome thing and how can I not write about the background? We shared the same workplace and that was the reason she came forward and spoke to us on our journey towards Florence, our chatty train journey stopped at Milan and we went our separate ways.  About three months pass and I go to Biella again (possibly for last time, thanks COVID). I have no reason to contact her, but if you are working for the same employer in a small town, chances are you cross paths, and we did so during the last week of my stay. She was unhappy that I didn't let her know I am in town, anyway invited me to a party scheduled for Friday night. But my flight was already scheduled to lea

Love is an overrated emotion

Nothing here is a fact, this is only opinion, no just rant of a young adult idiot. Turn around now, if you don't like rant or profanity or profanity-laced rant. When I say love, I strictly mean the romantic form of it; and I hate that I even have to say that, why do people have to add love to everything? parental love, baby love, candy love and so on... that's just plain stupid. Love is problematic not just because some people use it to manipulate others, but because it is a powerful emotion. So how it is problematic for everyone if only some use it to manipulate, the rest plain minded people will be bound by a strong feeling for each other, isn't it good? No, because even though love is strong emotion it starts to wear down after the purpose is fullfiled, and that brings me to the purpose of love. Purpose of love is to pro-create, you can decorate it, put a shiny gown, powder it with glitters, but the truth remains the same, love exists so that we don't become extinct.

My Oracle OCI certifications

I'm going to try and narrate my experience trying to complete the OCI certifications, that I signed up for because of peer pressure. If you are here from the future, China does China eating raw animals and shit, COVID-19 outbreak starts in Wuhan ~ Dec 2019 and is declared a pandemic by March 2020. Countries all over are forced to shut shop and kind of sleep with an empty stomach. Tourism, Aviation, Manufacturing, Automobiles, and their dependant services are worst hit; which includes the IT department from both product and service companies; pink slips starts to shower all over! And everyone is trying to differentiate themselves among thousands in the candidate pool, LinkedIn articles and learning badges becomes the norm. It seems Oracle saw an opportunity to make their new cloud offering familiar with IT community, and they announced that "5 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure certifications are free till May 15, 2020 ", later extends the program by adding 1 more certification
