Hello
My name is Gabie.
​
Thank you for being here. I've always enjoyed sharing my adventures, discoveries, and anything I just enjoy. I created this website originally as a technical portfolio, but I realized that it could be more than that.
​
I wanted to interconnect everything about myself into one website, and not separate the different aspects in my life.
My Story
A lot of what you'll find here are my hobbies and interests. Another side, however, is my technical portfolio since this website was originally a technical portfolio.
​
​Away from all my hobbies and interests, my first love in tech was Web Design and Development until one day, I discovered my true love– Cybersecurity.​
​
You may be thinking why this website looks to be less professional from actual technical websites, but I made this website to share the many things that I love. I have always enjoyed sharing things that I see around the world, interesting topics that I learn or discover, and give opinions about my personal preferences when it comes to my travels, coffee, etc.​
For the Love of Ephemera
It first started in scrapbooking. With scrapbooking I learned to use anything to make an art and so this crazy journey began. I even tried to quit to go paperless and be environmentally friendly but...
Today, I still love keeping ephemera, memorabilia and anything that had sentimental value reminding me of important events, people, conversations, moments, etc.
​
That means I collected stationery materials from beautiful notebooks, pens, coloring materials, stickers, etc. I eventually became addicted to having planners and keeping memorabilia in them from movie tickets, concert tickets, labels of my favorite things, etc.
Let's Talk Coffee
Although I am no James Hoffman, I take my coffee very seriously.
​
I have non-negotiables when it comes to coffee:
​
-
The perfect size is an 8oz.
-
Flat White is my go-to.
-
Oat milk is my preferred milk.
-
Coffee is at it's best when taken between 7 AM to 9:30 AM.
-
Hot coffee is the superior coffee especially when within the time frame.​
