Day 4 | #100DaysOfCode

After spending several days working on social media posts for the project I’m developing, I’m finally back at working on the website.

Today, I focused on the header/menu. I’m trying some nice styling I have in mind. I will share it as soon as it’s ready!

Day 8 | #100DaysOfDrawing

Last drawing class of the year. Now we’re on holiday; we’ll be back in January. 😊

This is my drawing of the Nikon camera so far. Not a big update, but there are a lot of details on the upper controls. :P

I’ll continue with the other drawing while on holiday from class.

Day 7 | #100DaysOfDrawing

Today I continued with the sketch of this famous person we bumped into in Nakano Broadway a few years ago.

I think it is quite obvious who he is now. 🤔 Unless my drawing is too awful. 😅

Day 5 | #100DaysOfDrawing

Today I continued reading the book “Drawing on the right side of the brain”. Then I continued working on the sketch of this famous person my girlfriend and I met on our last trip to Japan. Can you guess who this person is with this update?

Hint: he is from my hometown. :D

Day 3 | #100DaysOfCode

Finally, I was able to continue with this project. I finished defining the general layout and content of the website. I plan to have it deployed before the end of the year, so I’ll start working on it right away.

I’m also preparing some content for the social networks.

day 4 | #100DaysOfDrawing

Today, I started a quick sketch of a (famous) person we stumbled upon on our last trip to Japan.

Can you guess who this person is with what I’ve drawn so far? 🤔

Day 3 | #100DaysOfLanguageLearning

Today I only practiced listening. I listened to Japanese music in the afternoon (mostly Asian Kung-Fu Generation) and a couple of podcasts in Japanese this evening.

It was all passive immersion, so I didn’t make any notes.

Day 3 | #100DaysOfDrawing

(I know these challenges should be done everyday, but it’s kind of hard to find the time between work and other everyday tasks 😅)

Today I had my drawing class! 😀 I’m currently working on a drawing of a Nikon camera there. Here’s an update of my drawing from last class. 😊

Day 2 | #100DaysOfCode

I continued defining the content and general layout of the website for the project I’m building.

I also started reading “Understanding Distributed Systems” by Roberto Vitillo. I definitely need to dive deeper into Distributed Systems for this one!

Day 2 | #100DaysOfLanguageLearning

It mas mostly a cultural day: I read a bit about Japanese periods and history. I’m curious about it, so, I’ll try to keep reading about it.

I also practiced a bit of kanji (only 私、一、二、三 😅).

Day 2 | #100DaysOfDrawing

Today, I continued reading the book “Drawing on the right side of the brain”.

I learned about how we need to switch to using the right side of the brain for drawing.

I also learned about the 5 basic skills we need to acquire to learn the global skill of drawing.

Last but not least, today I formally started working on the website of a new project I’m building.

I’ll use the #100DaysOfCode challenge to keep track of my progress in this project. It’ll be ready very soon!

Day 1. I worked on defining the content of the website.

I finally resumed my Japanese learning today, as well.

I’ll start taking Japanese classes again next January, so, I’ll warm up by starting the #100DaysOfLanguageLearning as well!

Day 1. I started by reviewing the basics: あんさつときょうしつのことば。Also started reading みんなの日本語と私の日本語。

I love to draw, but it’s hard to do it these days.

I started taking drawing lessons a year ago, but it feels like it’s not enough. So, today I started the #100DaysOfDrawing challenge!

Day 1. I started with some theory: reading “Drawing on the right side of the brain” (en español) by Betty Edwards.

Last week I traveled to Orlando, FL, for the first time. It was a great trip!

As a Harry Potter fan, I really enjoyed going to Universal Studios an spending almost all day on the HP area. 😂😅

Have you been there too?

I finally had the chance to watch “Depeche Mode: M” last night. As a fan of the band, and someone who attended one of their concerts in Mexico City, it felt very special watching it.

Here’s a little review (in Spanish) on Letterboxd, in case you want to read it:

A ★★★★★ review of Depeche Mode: M (2025)
“El dolor que cura no viene de la oración, sino del baile”. Esta frase me puso la piel de gallina. Me sacó las lágrimas. Me recordó por qué Depeche Mode se ha convertido en mi banda favorita. Fernando...
