About Me

I was born on the 17th of February in the year 2000, at the beginning of the new millennium. Growing up I experienced the evolution of technology, especially the internet. During that period, I spent a lot of time indoors. I watched a lot of tv and played video games. Nobody taught me how to use these technologies, so I taught myself how to use them.

​

My parents came from a generation where computers weren't in every Irish household. To this day, my dad always asks me to fix small problems with the smart tv, or my mum asks me to order something online. Eventually, I did teach them how to use modern technology but I think by the time I am 30 they will keep asking for help, bless them.

​

During secondary school and college, I did get to go outside more as I got older. Nowadays if I am not playing my gaming laptop or binge-watching a Netflix show. I would hang out with my group of friends. Going to the gym for a session, drinking at the pub, or just talking to each other.

Music

Who doesn't listen to music? In fact, I am listening to "Live Forever" by Oasis in the background while making this page. Music can make me feel different emotions. I love it when my favorite song gives me chills every time I listen to it. If I am watching a Studio Ghibli film, the orchestra soundtrack could make me feel emotional towards the end of the film. It helps me relax when I am studying or getting hype in the gym.

​

My top five favorite artists of all time:

  1. Oasis

  2. The Beatles

  3. Green Day

  4. Gorillaz

  5. Toby Fox

Cartoons in the Air

Animation

One of the reasons I picked my undergraduate course was because I find 2D animation interesting. As a child, I would sit in front of the tv and watch cartoons like "Ed Edd n Eddy". I would be memorized by the fluid movement and bright colors. I think animated films like Pixar are able to tell stories more creatively than live-action films. For example, when there is a scene where the main character is having a nightmare.

​

My top five favorite animated films of all time:

  1. Wall-E

  2. Kiki's Delivery Service

  3. Digmon Adventure Tri

  4. Toy Story 

  5. Treasure Planet

Gaming

Playing video games is the earliest memory I have as a kid. From the Sony Playstation 2 to the new Playstation 5. I have played too many games but I still love it to this day. As a kid, I was usually played games on my own. However nowadays with the internet, I can play games with my friends online. It helped to stay connected with them during the pandemic in 2020.

​

I often find myself re-watching the Playstation 2 launch day event on Youtube because it was interesting seeing what people thought of the console at the time.

​

Gaming Consoles I have personally:

  • Sony Playstation 5

  • Nintendo Switch Lite

  • Microsoft Xbox Series X

Working Out

Starting back in 2017, I had a goal of losing weight. At the time, I weighed around 19 stone. For years I have felt embarrassed about my body and I wanted to change that. I paid a personal trainer to help me with this goal. He taught me how to perform the correct technique when lifting weights in a gym. As well as making a meal plan to help with my goals in the gym.

​

In 2022, I weigh around 73kg (11.49 stone). I don't need to lose any more weight as I am content with my body. Still trying to get a six-pack, but it takes so long to appear on my body. You should exercise more, going for a short walk is good for your mental and physical health.
