Rome Learns to... Podcast

My first try at doing a Korean ASMR. I am still unable to whisper in Korean without becoming very inaudible, so this is the softest voice I can use (for now). These are just my thoughts whenever it rains. I also shared a few remarkable memories I have with rain and rainstorms. I am thinking of creating more content like this in the future. This has a video version on YouTube as well - https://youtu.be/liXNyCs2AwE. Check it out and let me know what you think

Yza was my batchmate in college. We both studied chemical engineering. I invited her to appear on my podcast and discuss the following topics:  1. What is the most important thing you learned during your college days which you find as still very relevant now? 2. What are the things you wished you learned before joining the workforce? 3. What would be your advice to college students or recent graduates who are now transitioning to "adulting" and will soon become part of the workforce?  We also talked a lot about random stuff. For those of you who'd like to go right away into the discussion, start at timestamp 14:00 Follow me on my socials: https://www.facebook.com/RomeisinManila/ and send your precious anonymous feedback http://bit.ly/2BaGFbG

Throughout June, I answered 30 out of the popularized 365 questions to have some introspection and to also test and improve on my spontaneity. I came to know myself better after answering all these 30 questions and I might do this again (hopefully not alone next time). Tell me what you think! Follow me wherever you may find me. I'm on Facebook, IG, Twitter, LinkedIn. And yes, I'm in Manila, but please don't go around following me physically. That's just not the way this works! See you around the internet!

This episode is recorded spontaneously without any preparation. Below are some of the topics I've touched:

- Improvised episode (everything I said in this recording is done spontaneously)

- Using voice notes on Evernote

- How to have a deeper-sounding voice

- The way we speak English

- The idea of mirroring

- A book called "The Worst is Over"

- Review of this month's episodes

- Listening to podcasts while doing something else

- Running (I actually love running)

- Being qualified to talk about something and our prejudices

- Learning Mandarin

- Expanding Limits

- Trying to be forgetful of feelings and emotions (Basketball players are usually like this, too)

- Personality isn't Permanent (a book by Benjamin Hardy)

Four friends recall their experiences and share realizations from doing a provincial theater production over 10 years ago, me included! This is more like an online catch-up date amongst friends with a twist. If you know the four of us, it'd be easier to relate. But even if you didn't, it's okay to sneak in and eavesdrop. We won't mind! If you have anything to say, you can reach me out through my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RomeisinManila/ Thanks for listening!

Bonus Episode on Time Management. This is a reading + commentary on my best performing article on Medium.com.

This is the beginning of a new season! What to expect? A more energetic ME! I'm trying. For this season, I'll be discussing (sometimes with guests) about creative and technical stuff while also adding in a few mental models here and there. 

Special mentions - Chris Williamson and George Mack (Modern Wisdom - Mental Models 103), Alan McLucas (Decision Making)

Do you know why carrots are orange? Nah, that's not the topic we're having here. Instead, we're looking to discover what the orange carrot in the language-learning universe is. This is also the final episode for the season and I probably won't be talking about language learning for a little while.
