About

Royce Aquino once tended a digital blog known as sunkoiwish (sunkoiwish.com), a fertile ground teeming with life skills and educational content that blossomed from Royce's passions. However, amidst juggling a bouquet of burgeoning projects, Royce sensed the urge to seed and cultivate a dedicated plot, sowing the seeds of a singular website solely nurturing this vibrant content garden.

Born in the cradle of the 1990s, Royce's formative years unfurled under the nurturing embrace of three steadfast mantras: a commitment to scaling the cliffs of perseverance, a relentless quest to harvest new knowledge each day like ripe fruit, and an unwavering gaze toward the horizon, knowing that life's ever-changing landscapes are mere passing clouds. During the tender shoots of youth, Royce's aspirations took root in the depths of the ocean's mysteries, yearning to engineer systems for submarines as a Naval Officer—a dream that rocketed to life like a constellation sparked by the celestial allure of a video game, Star Ocean. Navigating the vast expanse of the internet through the vessel of Google Chrome, Royce not only charted courses of learning but also embarked on adventures of amusement.

Voyaging through the halls of higher education, Royce harvested a bountiful degree in Computer Engineering, plucking the fruits of knowledge in systems design and web/app development. However, Royce's quest for wisdom was an intricate tapestry, woven across four fertile seasons, where the seeds of exploration sprouted into a lush garden of diverse studies—technologies, online courses, and professional certifications—each branch a testament to the insatiable hunger for growth. Royce views academic accolades as the polished stones that shape the riverbed, guiding the flow of knowledge and fostering standards of pristine quality.

Yet, amid this orchard of ambitions, life's destiny hurled unforeseen tempests, reshaping the landscape and redefining the horizon. Undeterred by these storms, Royce stands tall, a stalwart oak, resolved to thrive as an independent serial entrepreneur—a beacon lighting new paths, carving new valleys, and sculpting new worlds.

Grateful for your time and attention. May your journey be adorned with the blooming flowers of success!

The purpose of this series is to promote knowledge from my own perspective that collectively consists of bits of my experience, observations, to promote understanding of life in this world (2000+ years of history/timeline and 20+ personal years). For further clarity, a few things Royce is also influenced by is Christianity (Western), Taoism (Xiuzhen), Ikigai, Zen, Greek philosophers, minimalism, and other people whom were around during the time of this series (too many to name).

I was inspired by the wisdom shared by numerous philosophers and influential figures who frequently discussed life's complexities. This motivation led me to aspire to craft something of my own: leveraging my distinctive perspective, observations, experiences, and knowledge. I aimed to infuse it with a practical and easily understandable approach, making it applicable to everyday life. In this series, I do my best to create a timeless and inclusive ultimate life guide for anyone to enjoy (probably best for ages above 14+). Please, "Don't hate the player, hate the game..." + "[insert your own idea here]"

The series, websites, and content may not be perfect, but I hope it's enough to get each point across. I hope people can be empowered individually and collaborate together to defeat other meaningful problems and enjoy the gift of living.
