I received an email about a certain campaign from one of the Project Managers of the company. I have my second thoughts because I'll be answering a few questions. I told this to Mark and jokingly said: Me: A quote? I'll probably send Love is like a bubble gum, kung mopilit makabuang (if it sticks, you'll go crazy). But yeah, I haven't thought of inspirational quotes yet. They're too many and I don't know how to filter them. Plus, there are four more questions to answer. I…
Halaka uyst! Quotes about my work and Internet of Things, waley parin akong maisip. I only have less than 2 hours left. OMG. Lavarn!
If only Cavite has a grabcar/taxi or angkas, I might not be freaking out today. I did a minor recon via google maps, but I'm pretty sure it's not enough. My sense of direction will be tested today. Fighting!
Ewan ko lang kung if nagmamaldita yung sa post office dahil may edad na, or sadyang ganun talaga siya. Strike 1, inintindi ko. Strike 2, di ko na nakayanan. Sumagot tapos may sarcastic na thank you and walk out. Di ko na hinintay sagot niya. Kasi pagmaysinabi nanaman siya, sasagut ulit ako...in Bisaya. (Kanang gahi jud nako na accent. Kalagot.) And, hindi tanggap ang passport ko. Bakit pa nilagay sa site kung hindi naman palaaaa? And ang hirap kaya makakuha ng passport tapos…
I posted last night my February 2022 Memory Dump. I got this idea on Instagram, where my friends keep on sharing their monthly memory dump. I started in January 2022, and I'll be doing this every month. https://read.cash/@keeneek/february-2022-memory-dump-e82d1fa7
After how many years, I decided to eat balut again, and it's not because of Scottie boo, by the way. 😆 Well, I ate the other week, and now, I'm craving to sip its hot soup mix with suka (vinegar). I used to eat 18 days, but now, I'm gonna stick to 16 days only. I don't know when and why I started grossing out balut. I loved balut from when I was a kiddo until my early 20s. My mom would always be freaked out every time Papa and I had our balut session, up to 3 baluts in one…
I ate the leftover from last night's dinner. I also drank coffee, no sugar or milk, and it tasted awful. Even with that strong black coffee, I'm still sleepy. 😴
Thursday is another exhausting day. I woke up early at 6:30 AM, but I wasn't able to go back to the post office. I had a rhinitis attack, and I kept on sneezing nonstop. I was hesitant to drink meds because I might fall asleep but ended up drinking one. Since I missed the postal id application today, I went downstairs and had a laundry session. I carried 12 kg worth of laundry from the 4th floor, plus a gallon of water to carry from the ground floor to the 4fh floor. Can I…
Just got home, and I'm starving already. So I went to the post office dasma today, and guess what, the postal id application has been cut-off early. I asked an employee there, and she said today's cut-off is around 7:30 AM. 🤦♀️ I'm planning not to sleep this Sunday evening and go there on Monday, 4 AM. No traffic so I guess I'll arrive before 6:00 AM. My only concern is the location. I have to walk from my apartment to the highway and after two commutes, I need to walk from…
Matanong ko lang, ganito ba sa luzon? Yung di na nirerecook ang kwek2? Parang timang ako naghintay tapos sinabihan ako ni nanay kuha nadaw ako. At inulit ko pa sinabi niya. Lutang waks, cyst? 😆 130 sec left pa kasi para mag go, kaya naisipan kong kumain nalang muna. Laking tuwa ko may nakita akong malaking itlog. Di kasi ako sanay na kwek-kwek like yung sa quail eggs talaga. Naninibago pa talaga ako. Tapos yung tempura, kanya-kanyang kuha sa kawali. Sa Iligan kasi chinochop2…
My second dose for today, which I will drink by noon. Or maybe in the afternoon. I forgot that I placed one cup of coffee in the refrigerator. I'm trying not to mix it with fresh milk. I gulped all of it, then sip milk. I'm in the mood to write, but my schedule won't allow me to. 😩 Let's see if I can finish one article this noon break.
Globe gave Antoni a Krispy Kreme birthday e-gift. Surprisingly, I ate 2 glazed donuts only. The other four were devoured by Antoni. I used to eat four or more, but now, the coin has been flipped. So proud of myself. 😁
Before I post my Tagaytay trip with @tomogiroe, I decided to share some of my mishaps the moment I set foot in Tagaytay. We all laughed; probably this will be one of my most unforgettable Tagaytay trips. https://read.cash/@keeneek/some-stroke-of-bad-luck-at-tagaytay-e36ff4e1
Just got home. One of my classmates in college invited us for dinner. The other classmates didn't respond, so we're only three who dine out together. I ordered Chasu ramen, onigiri, and matcha lemonade (gosh! twas a killer lemonade! 🤩). And then the two guys ordered ramen bundled with gyoza and 2 sets of maki. We're only three so I was thinking "Ah they can finish this food.". But that was all a big lie. I finished the food since they can no longer shove it into their mouth.…
I slept early last night so I can wake up early. I was planning not to sleep but was full at last night's dinner. My sisters and mama called then messaged me. I didn't know that it was flooding in our area. The last message my sister sent was there's a flood and no electricity. Thankfully, they are okay, and the rain stopped. Anyway, I woke up not so early today, at 6:00 AM. My alarm was incapable of waking me up or maybe I missed setting it up yesterday. I immediately fixed…
Last month, I didn't apply for a postal ID because I had one pimple on my forehead. I was required by the company to have an ID with my current address. Mark: Did you apply for a postal ID already? Me: Not yet. Mark: And why? Me: I have a pimple on my forehead. Red visitor is coming up. I want to be pretty and stress-free to look at. But then... Here I am... Applied in the postal ID with a big pimple and two heavy eyebags. Oh, well... The only ID that I feel so pretty and…
I've been meaning to cook Bicol express because I miss Mama's cook. 😟 But Antoni bought one for me in their cafeteria. I was planning not to eat rice tonight, guess tomorrow is another day, eh? Hihihi Also, this is my second dose of caffeine for today, but I'll add milk this time.
Finally! I'm done with this paperwork. I'm exhausted, but I need to wake up at 7:00 AM. I still have 3 more hours. Good night!
Pagmay load ako, patola talaga sa mga ganitong messages. 😅 Minsan nagbibisaya ako. Yung lola ko yung nauuto. Tatawag na nanalo raw siya, minsan naman nagpapaload ba raw ako. 🤦♀️ Buti nalang sinabihan ko na pagmay ganyang text, tawagan muna ako. Buti at nakikinig parin talaga saakin.
Cooked something today. And it's good for 5 people, and there's only Caryl who will eat this. And that only person is on a diet. This will last up to 4 days, I think. 🤦♀️
Perks of having allergic rhinitis: you have to clean to avoid getting a rhinitis attack, but you ended up having one because you clean. 😩
Reminiscing the places I've been to on my first job. So far, my first job has always been my favorite out of the three. Why? Because of the conferences and training - in short, travels! Hehe https://read.cash/@keeneek/places-ive-been-to-on-my-first-job-a7dc50ac
Someone delivered this tonight saying that it's mine. Antoni purchased this without my consent. 😒 A4tech keyboard is good enough for me tho.
Did a little experiment today—put ¼ of dark choco in a freshly brewed Kape Arabica. And...it tastes even more bitter. Huehuehueue. Eating the chocolate alone is bitter already. So why did I come up with this? 🙄 Asking for a friend. Charot. Hahaha
I got a little curious about the price of this mechanical keyboard, so I checked it...and it's expensive. I'm guessing this one is worth 3990 Php. But I'm not that sure. I'll ask him tonight if he's not busy. If this one is worth more than 4,000 Php, I will freak out. 2k for a keyboard is expensive already. All keyboards for me are the same - as long as I can type fast without looking at it, then it's good enough for me. But I admit, this light effect is fun to look at,…
Drank 2 medium-sized mugfuls of brewed coffee yesterday - afternoon and evening - and I still ended up sleeping. I slept on the table first, as early as 10 PM, and then transferred to the bedroom so I can sleep like a log for 10 hours straight. Ahh, I didn't finish my task. Good morning. 🌻
When I was still in Iligan City and Cebu City, I didn't enjoy takoyaki. Usually, it was @tomogiroe who likes to buy one set and share it with me. But now, I'm starting to crave takoyaki every week, and then I'd like to pair it with Cabin Crew milk tea.

Last week of January 2022, I decided to write again on Read.cash and be consistent. And guess what, today, I received a notification that I already passed 1000 views. Yaaaay!

I was watching the performance of the Clash of Aces, and I was crying. I am so proud of them, especially of those new members of the group. They improved a lot. In Bisaya, we say "Burak", "Shumi", "Balbal molihok", "Perti", or "Y*wa". But I do not use the last one tho. Hehe. Also, one of the aces messaged me. If you are in APPICS, you'd probably know him. He's miggype, and he dislocated his right knee while performing. He fell, stayed on the floor for a mere second,…
Grabeeee! Me is shookt bakit may 1k sa coinsph wallet ko. Inopen ko kasi kukuha sana ng 30usd sa noise earnings eh. And tadaaa, nagulat ako may 1k.

I slept early last night, at 11 PM. I was reading articles on read and blogs on steemit and hive when I fell asleep. I was exhausted. Now, I woke up to a dream that my high school classmate is crying and screaming for help - she's about to give birth. I was contemplating if I should message her or not. Our last communication was on December 30. But it was out of nowhere dream and the dream is timely and relevant. Usually, that kind of dream happens in real life. So I…
Until now, the condo unit we rented in Mandaue City is giving us a headache. Ate @syrahjean called to relay the current situation. Why do this lady, whom we thought the owner, is such a pain in the ass? We just recently found out she is not the real owner. And the cousin of the real owner went to the unit telling us to no longer pay the lady and cancel the checks instead. So how am I going to cancel the five post-dated checks I issued? Another problem. Ahh, I need medicine…
My sister posted a while ago that she's drinking coffee. Me: Nag-inom pod ko ron ug kape na makabati ug nawong, Mai. I commented that I'm also drinking one, enough to make me ugly. She replied that even tea could make my face ugly as I sip. There's nothing new about it. 😅 Well, it's true. And even though I'm not a coffee lover, I still drink coffee these days—I'm now on my second dose.
I miscalculate everything. I forgot my hair is thick, and these can't survive if I bun my below waist-length hair. Anyway, payday is delayed. I dunno why. And I can no longer wait for it, else I'll starve to death. 😩
Instead of buying two fresh milk, my eyes caught a glimpse of the buy 1 take 1 tag. Huehue. Also, I made a challenge on APPICS—golden hour photography. It's exclusive for Filipino users only and runs for 10 days. You can win delegation good for a month and liquid apx, too. 😊
So I bought these three egg pies (one was devoured already) to pair with the brewed kape barako. It was supposed to be good for three-day consumption. But it turns out tomorrow is the expiration. So I'll be eating them today. Tsk.
So Mark called on Messenger just to tell me to read his message. It was about Miss Universe PH - La Union and the TikTok peeps canceling her because of her statement. I didn't know she is a contestant not until now. For me, there's nothing wrong with her statement. It's just that she could've used another figure of speech to tell a fun fact about herself of not getting fat even though she eats a lot. "One funny secret about me is I eat like a construction worker, but I never…
I went to three government offices today. It is 2 out of 3, so I guess my day is quite productive. I haven't eaten a real meal since yesterday, so I'm hungry and thirsty while walking from here to there under the scorching heat of the sun. After the offices, my second to the last stop was to buy soldering iron in Robinsons. Me: May solder kayo? (Do you have a solder?) Him: Ano po yan? (What's that?) Me: Solder yung ginagamit para solda. (My Bisaya blood emerged.) He was…
After I arrived home, I only consumed the shawarma I bought, then went to bed and fell asleep. I slept for 4 hours, and I'm still tired. I think I have a sunburn, on my nose to cheek area. It's itchy and a bit painful. 😩 Good thing I still have an aloe vera gel, though it would've been better to cut Papa's aloe vera plant. 😅 I'm still too tired to cook a meal, so I'll have the easy to cook corned beef instead.
So my Totoro cushion arrived today, and I'm so happy. 🥺😍 I don't want to sit on Toro. Maybe I should've bought a stuffed toy Totoro instead. Haays, I just miss my Madam Totoro so much. She was huggable, sweet, and a Madam. I bet she's the Madam in dog heaven, too.
I barely had 3 hours of sleep when my phone rang—it was a Shopee delivery. I immediately fixed myself and went downstairs. I'm not sure if I'm oversensitive because I just woke up, but I'm annoyed with this delivery man: Him: Saan po sainyu maam? (Asking my unit's floor.? Me: 4th floor po. Him: Hatid mo na yan sa 4th floor baka mapano payan. (Told his companion to carry it for me.) Me: Mabigat po ba yan? ( Is it heavy?) Him: Ay kaya mo na yan ma'am! (You can carry that,…
I have my Postal ID, by the way. And...I wanna cover my face with a passport size ID I have here. 🤣 Le fez on my primary government IDs is the ugliest. 🤣The only gov't ID that I feel pretty and proud to show to everyone is my TIN ID. Unfortunately, it's not a primary ID. 😒
Just like my summer experience in Cebu: 1. Drinks water like a combined two camel; 2. Cuts the shirts into crop tops; 3. Turns on electric fan all-day long; 4. Takes a bath at dawn. I want to go to Timoga Cold Spring or to Lawis. I wanna go home already. Hays... 😩
Getting more and more stressed sa unit na nirerentahan namin ni Ate @syrahjean and @tomogiroe sa Mandaue City. Yung rightful owner, gusto na icancel ko yung issued post-dated checks kasi sa kanila na raw kami magbabayad hindi na kay Ma'am A. Kasi si Ma'am A, siya bumili sa unit but hindi pa niya nafully paid sa owner. Lately lang din namin yan nalaman. Sinabihan namin si Ma'am A na icacancel namin ang remaining 5 PDC, at ayun sabi niya vacate the area kasi di na kami…
The camera is not enough to capture how breathtakingly divine the moon is. Moon has always been beautiful, but for tonight, it's something else. Ahhh it's a stunner! 🥺💖🌕
Last night, Antoni and I went to Coffee Project GenTri. It was my first time going to that part of GenTri, and it is giving me a Tisa and Colon, Cebu City vibe. Hehe. I wanna go back there. Again. Anyway, back to CP, I ordered Matcha iced latte and Blueberry Danish. And my name was murdered. Hoho. I'm no singer. 😅
Tamang pretend lang po para sa operation balik alindog program. 😂
Yung kakapasok palang namin ni Antoni sa store, tapos yung staff sabi niya agad: "Unsay inyo Ma'am?" (Ano order niyo Ma'am?) Napatingin ako bigla sa kanya. Tapos nagsmile siya. Oo, klaro na nagsmile kasi yung mata eh. And naalala niya na Bisaya ako. Hehe. Kasi one time, bumili ako, tinawagan ko si Antoni. Syempre, nagbibisaya ako pag bisaya kausap ko. Naalala niya ata yun, tapos tagal na nun, last 2 weeks pa. So ayun, automatic Bisaya mode on ako sa pag-order. Haha. Tapos si…
I slept at 6 AM. After 30 mins, I woke up then slept again. I made sure I set the alarm at 8:00 AM. Then my phone and my 'best buy' clock rang, turned it off, and slept again. When I woke up, it was 9:00 AM already. Huehue. I didn't have time already, so I showered myself with perfume. After all, I took a bath in the evening. Hehe. And I thought I'm early here at the bank, but the queue outside is quite long already. I'm sweating. Hoho. Eyebags galore, right? 😆
Jusmiyo. Pinaexplain ako ni Ms. Teller bakit icacancel ang limang PDC kung sabihan nalang daw yung inisyuhan na huwag ideposit. NapaMMK ako regarding sa feud ng nakanegotiate namin and sa rightful owner. After niyan, dami pa niyang tanong. Pero accommodating naman siya. Sabi niya irarush niya yung PDC na nakaissue ngayon. Ang conyo ko lang pakinggan nag tataglish. Parang ang arte ko pakinggan tapos iba accent ko sa Tagalog, iba naman sa English. Haha para akong ewan. Sabi ko…
Ate Isang sent the first photo telling me she's finally stuck these formulas to the wall. And I'm happy she's finally using them. I wrote this on 2019. It's just 1/4 (or maybe 1/8) of the formulas that need to be memorized, but still, I'm happy. She was stressed lately because of the unit plus her leave of absence. But now, she's slowly getting back on track. Then, I also sent a picture to her while we were having a conversation about asking her sister for a CBTL treat. She…
Because I've been processing something in the daytime, I am required to work in the evening since the product launching is in April. Also, my team lead messaged me that I haven't submitted my bank details to the new HR and I should read the PH channel from time to time. I responded that I'm confused with the PM sent messages of others, then he replied that it's in the email. When I checked my company email, there was none. Me: OMG, am I not included in the employee's list…
I saw one of my co-dancers' IG stories. The background looks so familiar: the jumping cliff of Blue Lagoon. I rarely reply to IG stories, but for this one, I have to. So I messaged and asked for the location: Him: Zamboanga. Me: Where in Zambo? Is it in Tabina? In Baganian? Him: Baganian. And my green-eyed monster self emerged in full blast. Baganian is my father's hometown, and the water and beaches there can par with any well-known beaches in the Philippines. Ahh! It's…
I roughly had 2 hours of sleep, and I'm on my way to SM Bacoor from Dasmariñas. I just hope I won't sleep and snore here on the bus. 🥴 Good morning 🌻
Just got home. Luckily, I woke up because of the sun's rays. Else, I'll be in Trece right now. Hoho. Pero di nga, Caryl niyo pagod na. Yopakinism is realism! 🥺
I slept last night a few minutes after dinner. I was supposed to work since I was MIA in the morning because of the company's requirements. It was quite a long sleep — around 7:00 PM, then woke up at 2:53 AM today. Product launching is on the 1st week of April and I still have soooooooo many pull requests to check and soooooooooo many combinations (trials and errors) to do so I can jot down the errors and lacking the tool we are working on.
My usual sleeping hours are from 5 AM to 9 AM or 6 AM to 10/11 AM. But since I woke up today at almost 3:00 AM, I decided to reset my body clock. I'm trying not to sleep right now and just stay wide awake until midnight. I'm nocturnal, so this is pretty hard for me. I had to delete my previous post because it shows the bookmarks. Hehe Anyway, good morning everyone! 🌻
Me right now. Hoho. Still contemplating if I should order or not. My team lead is such a tease. He sent his Foodpanda coupon - less 200 for a min of 700 worth of purchase - with a caption "Ay nasend". 🙄 And here I am, scrolling... Satanas, pahawa!! 😒
The issued company laptop is 14-in only, so I always raped Alt + Tab, especially when I need to open three applications all at once. But in the photo, it's one application with three files opened. So yeeey for this! 27-in monitor is chef kiss.
Naligo, nagsipilyo, and pinawisan na ng heavy. Gusto ko na tuloy magpakalbo. Medyo makapal and extra mahaba pa naman ng buhok ko. 😩 Mas malala pa to sa Cebu, like seriously. May damit na naman akong guguntingin at gagawing sleeveless and crop top. Gusto kong maligo sa Timoga and Lawis!!!!!
My Saturday is a tiring, yet fulfilling and blessed one. I was able to visit two churches today — in Tagaytay and Batangas. And I have tasted the famous and delicious Lomi of Batangas. Also, the mother of the fiancée of Antoni's cousin invited us to visit their place, too, in Iloilo. With Antoni's Mommy (sister of her Mom), I will keep on gaining weight. She said this to me: Don't think of a diet if we're still here in Manila. Every weekend is a cheat day. She'll be in…
My new fave in Cabin Crew: Blueberry Altitude Fruit Tea. It's a mix of blueberry and pomelo with a slice of lemon - perfect for the hot weather.
I get tired easily whenever I braid my hair, so I decided to have a Pucca-style hairstyle. 😅 It would've been amazing if I could achieve Judy Abbott's hairstyle. 😆 Good morning 🌻 I slept at 9 PM and woke up at 1 AM. It's past 2 AM already and I'm still wide awake. 😶 I was planning to sleep at midnight, but then... Oh well, it is what it is, says my eyebags. 🤭
Someone messaged me if she can buy a load and she'll pay me in Hive instead. I haven't posted anything on Hive for a very long time already, so I'm okay with this. And it's actually my second time accepting Hive as a payment.
This clearly shows that my brain is still half-asleep. I cleaned the filter, poured four cups of water, then turned on the coffee maker. While "brewing a coffee", I busied myself with clearing my table. As I hear the tick, I grabbed my mug, and to my surprise, I didn't see a black liquid. Early morning kalutangan brought to you by Caryl Keen! Yes, indeed. Le brain needs more gotch (sleep), but le brain also wants to stay awake much longer. Good morning! 🌻
Tried to achieve Judy Abbott's hairstyle. I think I need more lastiko, preferably the bigger and thicker ones.
Hoy kasakit saakong likod. Grabeee! Lami magpahilot pero bago pako nahuman ug dugo. Basin naay mobugwak pinaabtik pagmagpahilot ko ron. Kalami langkaton aning likora ug lisan. Nasobraan nakag pagpaningkamot, cyst? 😵😩

Opo. Yes, po. Naliligo na po ako tuwing gabi. Di na po ako kandingon. 🙈 Sana di ako antukin nito ng heavy.
I brewed coffee the moment I decided to get my ass out of the bed, around 6 AM. Fast forward... It's past 8 AM and I haven't drank the coffee. I'm currently reheating it because a cold coffee tastes even more bitter. Good morning 🌻
Currently in bed, resting, because my mind is in stop-and-go mode. Brain is tired, and my back and butt hurt so much. Tomorrow, I'll be out again doing some paperwork. 😩 Can we skip to the good part? Aaaah, aaaah-aaaah-aaaah Okay, don't mind me. K.Buy.
I didn't notice I am in my 2nd year in this IoT company. Hoho. I just realized it this afternoon and it's already been days. Waaaaaah, time flies so fast. Because of that, I'll have a massage today. My back and butt are aching like I want to pull them out of my body!!
