This past weekend was special for me. I had the chance to participate in the TPPR Championship of Practical Shooting at RL Shooting Club. After three years of trying, I finally earned my first medal — placing 3rd in Limited Optics Class B Division. It felt incredible to see the effort pay off, and I couldn’t be happier with my performance.
Even better, I got to share the experience with friends. Competing, celebrating, and then simply enjoying time together — talking, laughing, and having drinks — reminded me how good it feels to just be human and present in the moment.
On top of that, I had the chance to try out my new Oakley Meta glasses for the first time during the event. They worked great, and I’m excited to keep exploring what they can do.
Family time also made this weekend memorable. I took my mother to San Juan, where we ate at El Jíbaro Moderno. To be honest, we weren’t impressed; it seemed they focused more on their social media presence than the quality of their food. Thankfully, the day took a better turn when we visited Blanca’s Fragrance Factory in Old San Juan, where my mom created her own custom perfume. That was a unique and special experience for both of us.
Finally, one reflection that stayed with me today: while you’re alive, most people don’t think much about you, but when you pass away, suddenly social media is filled with posts and memories. I find that strange, and it makes me value the moments of connection we actually live even more.
