Hi! It’s me. Just writing this post to let you know that I’m still alive. I’ve been really busy most of the year. I know, the pandemic could’ve brought countless blog posts but can you blame me if it’s easier to watch Netflix than to write about my thoughts? So yeah, I will be continuing my Testsie Roll Series where I get to share my … Continue reading Testsie Roll: Expired Centuria 400
Earlier this week, I got the most exciting news of my career so far. Continue reading New Beginning, Another Ending
I would like to walk Oreo around the neigborhood as much as I can. And with these little walks that I get to know my dog more. From one of our walks, I realized that she loves the grass. Any kind of grass. Maybe playing with the goats back in Mbale sorta made her believe that she’s a goat too. I got to know that … Continue reading Walking with Oreo
One of the perks of my job is being able to travel to different places. Pictured below is Mount Muhabura as seen from a village in Kisoro District, Uganda. It lies along the border of Uganda and Rwanda. According to my Ugandan colleague, the name Muhabura means “The Guide” in the local language. It can be seen from different parts of the country because of … Continue reading Mount Muhabura | Uganda
I think this is my first time to stop at a sunset here in Kampala, Uganda. You see, I’m not a sunset or sunrise person. Well maybe one time when I was travelling in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I woke up at 3 or 4 AM to witness the most majestic yet crowded sunrise in my whole life. The crowd was massive. Hundreds or maybe thousands … Continue reading Kampala Sunset

Two years ago, I wrote this blog post about my near death experiences in Burkina Faso. I got sick with Malaria, missed a coup d’etat and a terror attack. That’s why this photo is very important to me. Malaria changed me. I borrowed a couple of paragraphs from that post but you can always check out the blog post here. Mike two years ago: So … Continue reading Through the Lens: Malaria in Africa

Chapati or roti is a type of flat bread which originated from India but it is widely popular in this part of the globe because of the huge Indian population in East Africa. It’s called rolex because the chapati and the scrambled egg … Continue reading Through the Lens: Rolex (not the watch)
I’m very lucky to be part of the three out of four operator trainings in Uganda. I was supposed to just assist but they asked me to be a trainer. It’s weird that I’m still a trainee myself but I don’t have any choice. Also, I’m not much of a talker actually so speaking in front of this crowd gave me an anxiety. This experience … Continue reading Through The Lens: Overcoming my Stage Fright
This photo was taken with my very first roll of film. Literally the first frame of the roll as you can see with the frame burn. I didn’t know that this is a thing until I read a post from our Facebook Film Group. There’s even a dedicated instagram page (@f1rstoftheroll) for this beautiful thing. After that, I started to appreciate this phenomenon and I … Continue reading Through the Lens: First of the Roll
