It's so Rolando

I want to share a few of my favorite pastimes—and the occasional catastrophic failures that happen while I’m enjoying them. 😎

Video Games

Video games are my cherished escape. Whether I’m immersing myself in fantasy worlds or micromanaging a virtual city, I’m in my element. Pokémon and Persona hold a special place in my heart—I’ve easily sunk over 3,000 hours into these series. That’s dedication (or obsession, you decide). ⏲️

TV Series and Movies

TV series and movies are my passport to other worlds—and my ultimate guilty pleasure. The problem? I get so immersed that I sometimes forget I’m not actually in the script. I’m a hopeless romantic who involuntarily channels the charm of the leading men. I confess, I’ve quoted Mr. Darcy-esque lines to more than one crush. It’s a chaotic side of my personality, but I’ve learned to embrace it. 😈

If you’re curious, my top picks include: Gravity Falls, Your Lie in April, Spider-Man: Into and Across the Spider-Verse, and I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. ❤️

Gym

You know I love the gym (I never shut up about it). It’s my temple of self-improvement. I’m determined to stay fit, but sometimes my enthusiasm outpaces my actual ability. The key is showing up every day. Consistency beats intensity—eventually, the results will follow. 💪🏻

Cooking

I’m no MasterChef, but I attack the kitchen with unwavering enthusiasm. The results? Often questionable. I’ve managed to burn water (yes, it is possible), mistake salt for sugar, and invent flavor profiles that even my dogs rejected. But who needs Michelin stars when you can have a good laugh and a great story? 🧑🏻‍🍳

My favorite dish? Codfish with Cream. Dessert? Belém Tarts and Chocolate Brownies. And for a snack, nothing beats a Pirulin. 🤤

Side Projects

Software development is my playground for creativity and logic. I dive into coding projects with boundless excitement, but sometimes the code takes on a mind of its own. Bugs appear from thin air, and my apps start behaving in ways I definitely didn’t program. It’s a never-ending adventure filled with laughter, frustration, and the occasional victory dance when it finally works. 🥲

Learning New Things

My quest for knowledge often turns into a hunt for useless trivia. From obscure history to bizarre scientific facts, my brain is a vault of information that impresses absolutely no one. But hey, at least I can entertain my friends with random anecdotes about fruit fly mating rituals or the evolution of the mustache. 😜

My favorite subjects? Software engineering, history, art, business, and sciences like physics, math, physiology, biology, and astronomy. 🥸

The Bottom Line

Life is a wild ride, and my hobbies add a healthy dose of chaos to the journey. From gaming mishaps to culinary disasters, I embrace the laughter that comes with my unique mix of interests. 😅

Let’s learn and embrace the wonderful adventures that await us every day! ⏭️
