Hey guys, it’s Elize! Or really, call me EAF.   It’s late, dark, and I’m reflecting while listening to music — like many of you. If you don’t listen to music, consider yourself blessed! Today, I want to talk about the strengths we gain from experience, whether you’re in the same field as me or not. I studied IT, specifically Cybersecurity. At first, I thought the major was just a “fancy name” for a job. But at the time, I was blocking myself from deeper understanding and learning. I had a very self-assertive tone, which especially came out when I was hurt — like being cheated on. Because of my lack of interest in growth and comprehension, I made poor decisions, had unstable relationships, and created an unstable environment. Yet acknowledging these gaps made me notice a lack of depth in my approach to life. Looking back, I realize I’m only 22, and this self-awareness is just the beginning. During that period, I wasn’t caring for myself. But I still cared deeply about others. Wh...

DNS: When One Name Goes Many Ways

Image
Imagine visiting a secure control panel for a cloud-based dashboard — let’s call it panel.exampleapp.net . You expect one clear path, but a DNS query reveals something unexpected: a variety of IP addresses, spanning different number spaces and even protocol types (IPv4 and IPv6). Here's a simplified look: panel.exampleapp.net → 0.1.2.35 panel.exampleapp.net → 1.2.3.35 panel.exampleapp.net → 172.2.0.114 panel.exampleapp.net → 2606:4700:20::681d:523 panel.exampleapp.net → 2606:4700:20::ad43:4672 At first glance, this might raise questions: Why is a single name resolving to different networks — even different types of addresses? 🌍 A Global Dispatch System, Not a Single Gate Think of panel.exampleapp.net not as a door to a single building, but as a radio frequency broadcasted across a secure network of towers worldwide. When your system tunes in (makes a DNS request), it doesn’t get one frequency. Instead, it receives a list of optimal towers — nearby, unjammed, and onl...

God, Consistency, Wisdom, Belief, and Truth

Image
   Whenever you don't want to read the bible is EXACTLY when you should read the bible . Here is the formula that I focus on: G.C.W.B.T G od is first. He's the almighty, powerful God, who allows free will as we surely live here on earth. Even when he can take control, mercy. With much respect for our existence to make our own choices, shows us his care of love. As long as your life wasn't taken away, you're forgiven for as long as you live. What may be your perspective? C onsistency is key. It's what builds character, to be a rock about and behave steadfastly. Not just a routine. Ask for w isdom and be mindful. Analyze and watch to send your message with the intention of whoever hears you, will understand. Do not defraud. Don't be scared, be confident. Most importantly, sometimes when it doesn't seem right at the moment when we can't convey a message, remind yourself why is it right? After God, is yourself, you're not like everyone else. You are w...

The Moon's Lonely Eminence and a Seeker's Solitary Garden

Image
(Written in March of 2023 which I had forgotten about.) (The original title was "She Finds a/the Garden".) Spinning in this dazzling night, I swore the moon was beautiful no matter how many times I looked at it. No matter how hard they blew or the crickets disgustingly creaked like riots, the moon's lonely eminence matched my tone, loving its solemnness within this green garden. Which smelled of sweet honey lavender. However, when I sat down, just simple pulse breezes came by with my shoes out of the pond and my feet as they swiveled beneath and around the goldfish. None of the goldfish were fully gold. In fact, they were primarily white like the reflection of the moon. It drives me to believe it's okay to be... It clearly is magnificent. I wish to be within the garden, or at least a garden with a perfect view day and night. Only for me and just me alone when it is time to descend. Let me pile up in shrivels and blend in ashes. (I don't know what really came to mi...

Verses of the Day: The Rapture

Image
What does it mean to be left behind after the Rapture? Being left behind after the rapture means enduring the Antichrist's reign and tribulation while hoping for salvation at Christ's second coming. In certain evangelical Christian eschatology, being "left behind" after the rapture refers to those who are not taken up to heaven when Jesus returns to gather his faithful followers. First off, what is the Rapture ? and why is there even a Rapture? Hello, my name is Elize and I go by the EAF, social media wise. 😄 End-times event called the rapture where true believers in Jesus Christ will suddenly be taken up into the air to meet the Lord, our beloved father, YahWeh. This is based on a particular interpretation of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 that describes believers being "caught up" to be with Christ. In this view, the rapture will take place unexpectedly before a 7-year period of intense suffering on earth known as the Great Tribulation. All Christians, both thos...
