While setting up this blog again, and reading (and fixing so many grammar/spelling mistakes), I realised that plenty of things has happened since I move to Europe. I guess this the real value of writing down blog posts. It works as a time capsule. I can totally travel back in time when I read these old, silly and mispelled texts.
Got back to running early this year. I bought a Garmin FR 255 and I’m trying to do all the Daily Suggested Workouts (or as much as I can) and I hope I can improve my fitness level in a few months.
Last quarter of 2019, I decided that I’d run a half-marathon & marathon in 2020. Unfortunately, 2020 hit us hard, and I had to postpone my plans. At that point in time, I had no idea whether I’d be able to run any of the races anytime soon. For a while, I kept training hard, but gradually I started putting my training sessions aside. Although I skipped the marathon, I finally managed to finish a half-marathon.
Recently I had to replace a date picker component in an Angular application and I decided, along with my teammates, to go with a custom solution. The previous date picker we’ve been using was a component from ngx-bootstrap library, which is a great one.

Early this year I decided to focus my studies on the leadership & management sides of organisations, and I enrolled for Strategic Leadership and Management Specialization, a specialization from the University of Illinois on Coursera. I found the courses really complete in terms of content and recommended material, and, so far, these courses gave me a great background on topics such as the foundations and applications of leadership, group decisions and fostering decision, conflict management and so on.
