Gaming & Swimming

As the saying goes: "All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy", I enjoy spending my free-time playing some competitive video games to cool off some steam after a long week. Occasionally, although I am not a great swimmer, I love to dip myself in the pool to stay active and fresh; helps me find a proper orientation of my mind when I am stressed.
