Suddenly craving Original Glazed of Krispy Kreme. Anyway, I messaged HR asking for sick leave credits. My head feels like it's about to split into two plus I'm feeling tired and restless even though I slept early last night. Also, there's a heavy feeling in every breath, but it's still bearable tho. I am currently working with the request of this architect from the other side of the globe since HR hasn't responded yet to my message. When you're sick and you still need to…
I filed a sick leave request. Guess what, I was supposed to date it today and tomorrow, but I ended up filing a one-day sick leave. Why? Because there's an urgent task and I need to finish it this week. Also, I was required to monitor my SPO2 every hour since I'm asthmatic. I really want to sleep, my eyes are heavy and hot. I also informed my mother and she's been calling me nonstop.
One interview down. Interviewer: I think you're nervous. Yes, I am. 🥺 Funny when I sound confident in my blogs, but the exact opposite when I speak. Okay, I need to rest. My eyes are heavy already.
I still have a fever and my headache is not backing out, as well. It feels like my head is about to crack open. I don't have an appetite so I'm trying my best to cook tasty food. At the moment, I just want to eat ice cream. 🥺
My keyboard was not functioning a while ago. Mark was teasing me to request a MacBook and I was like, "No way!". I even checked the external keyboard but it wouldn't type except for the Windows key and CTRL T. I decided to turn it off maybe it just needs some restart. After 2 hours, to no avail, it was still not working. I turned on the on-screen keyboard and googled "Keyboard is not working." I tried a handful of solutions and guess what, all I need to do is to press…
Craving the burrito of Amigos in Iligan City, but this is all I can do and eat for now - a sandwich.
Posted on Hive my lunch experiences at different Bulalo restaurants in Tagaytay City with a picturesque view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano https://peakd.com/hive-120586/@kneelyrac/lunch-with-a-view-in-tagaytay-city
I miss chatting and going out with these two lovely ladies, my housemates in Cebu. We rarely communicate these days because life is hard. But I plan to go back to Cebu before this year ends. I miss Siomai sa Tisa. 🥺🥺🥺
I don't know if I'm hungry for knowledge, just don't know about my career path, or maybe both. So I applied again, but this time, for training as a Robotics Process Automation Developer. I have submitted my resume and if I pass the screening, I must commit and attend to 4-hour training 5x a week. I also plan to enroll myself in a LoRaWAN class, for work purposes. I'm currently looking for a free class because the one that Mark recommended is no longer free. I'm broque.
This was my first time seeing Taal Volcano, and I asked Anthony: "Can I go there?". Him: Ha???! He is shookt. 😅 The volcano is emitting a cloud of smoke, but I still want to go near it. 😅
I had bread with ham only on brunch, so I cooked something delicious for my dinner - chicken with mushroom. While I marinate the chicken breast with olive oil, parsley, oyster sauce, gochujang, black pepper, and brown sugar, I then took a bath. I started cooking after and was starving enough to forget about taking pictures first before eating. But it was delish. Happy tummy, happy Caryl. Photo is not related, but that's me, staring at the city view from the 50th floor.
Did something new today without asking for help from my previous team lead. Funny thing is, my team lead's first and second name is the same as the IT team's name, with whom I'll be working from now on. Mark is everywhere. Haha.
Antoni bought something for me because he's happy. When I'm sad or happy, he buys food. But when he's sad or happy, he still buys food. 🤭 Anyway, he got the job offer, and goodness, the salary pay is waaaaay much higher for an ECE rate.
I'm trying to finish 20 Python exercises before I call it a day. I'm starving already, but I don't have biscuits or any food to eat while I think.
Currently doing grocery shopping. Cheur! I will only buy some meat and snacks, by the way. I still can't go out and do groceries, the same with Antoni and his friends. So online grocery it is! But anyway, my new immediate supervisor told me to join the weekly meeting at 8:00 PM (every Wednesday) for the product launch. That was my first time attending a meeting for the launching and with the CEO himself.
Sana oil 11 years... haha charot. Napadalaw sa Twitter main account para sa latest chika sa Kpop world. hehe
It's still past midnight but I told Mark I will sleep early. So even if I have work-related questions, I decided to ask him this morning instead. He knows I'm a legit nocturnal. My usual sleeping time is from 4:00 AM to 7:00 AM, so he responded: "Who are you?" 😅😅 I will have a very long Friday, so I need to recharge. Good night people!
Do you guys experience this? It says my email is new to them. Are Noise.cash and Noise.app not related or something? But they are in the same network, right? So how come it doesn't have a record of my email when I'm basically writing this at the moment in Noise.cash.
Hello! It's me kneelyrac from Noise.cash and keeneek from Read.cash, but you can call me Carl - short for Caryl. I'm from the Philippines, a Bisaya from Lanao del Norte who is currently residing in Cavite. I'm a furmomma of adorable 7 doggos, 3 pups, and 3 cattos. I am an ECE with a passion for writing/blogging. Aside from that, I am into painting, calligraphy, photography, and reading. I am a bibliophile and a fan of poetry, crime, and mystery. But I do read any genre as…
Okay, I'm already in: https://noise.app/kneelyrac Thank you, @Sydney, for the invite link! :)
The Chinese engineer has requested to change something. So previous team leader wants me to explore our page sidebar.js. He also mentioned asking for Antoni's help but told him I didn't want to. After 10 minutes, I stopped searching. My workloads are piling up. I'll just explore this on weekend. The same as last night, it took me almost an hour to figure out how to change the naming because I'm too shy to ask for help from the IT team (his name is Mark, too!). I know it's a…
Ngayon palang ako matutulog. Jusmiyo! Good morning and good night! Happy weekend!
It was nice that I get to talk with people from the crypto-verse. I was busy with work last night, got stressed, and at the same time, bored. So I decided to join HivePH Friday night games. I really thought that it will be pure Math and Chem, so I prepared my calculator, paper, and pen. But it was not. Haha. I enjoyed the game and was a bit surprised I answered some - I still have some knowledge from my board exam review. After that, I joined another Trivia game at 3:00 AM.…
This is what I need right now. Too bad it's just a throwback! I want something sweet - been stressed lately with life and other stuff.
It's almost mid-September but I've read 10 books only. I'm 10 books behind with the Goodreads reading challenge. Hopefully, I'll be able to read 30 books before 2022 ends. Cross fingers! Anyway, I'm currently reading 3 books: - The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Sōji Shimada (90%) - The Wedding Crasher by Mia Sosa (21%) - Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs (12%)
I was able to sit down and write something on Read. I know it's a bit late, but I don't want to start writing without this memory dump of August! https://read.cash/@keeneek/august-memory-dump-69ce6aec
It's been a while since my last post on Read, but thankfully, I get to sit down tonight. Also, it's a bit late for this August memory dump, but I don't want to start my September on Read without posting this. https://read.cash/@keeneek/august-memory-dump-36e27273
Late-night drama... Trying to console and comfort myself through vanity. I was supposed to answer 15 exercises today but got caught up with emotions.
For the very first time, I decided to join the Friday night game event of HivePH and Hive Pizza Discord. It was fun! peakd.com/hive-188409/@kneelyrac/first-time-joining-the-friday-night-event-in-hiveph-and-hive-pizza
Late lunch... I slept at 8:00 AM already and woke up at 3:30 PM. I'm struggling these days, and I can hardly sleep because my thoughts are everywhere. I'm not overthinking - my mind is busy simulating solutions. Antoni wanted me to join their Friday night Bible study but I don't want to. Why? Because I don't want people to ask me about my life. I know for sure I'll cry. I don't want to add people to my list who know my struggle in life. I just want a solo conversation with…
Listening to the first band I love - One OK Rock. Hoping they will not have a concert here on PH in early 2023. I don't have the money yet. 🥺
Currently cleaning my desk because I'm not in the mood to study. I might paint or do calligraphy tonight because my materials are drowned with dust already.
My sleeping habit is a mess. So I decided to take Potencee with Collagen again. I remember taking this during the review not knowing its effect on me. The Collagen was way too strong for three mugs of brewed Barako or Arabica coffee. Like seriously, I was always sleepy that I gave them all to Antoni. Hope this will help me reset my body clock. I really want to sleep on or before midnight.
Done reading The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Sōji Shimada! Then I added to my Currently-reading list Agatha Christie's The Murder on the Links (Hercule Poirot, #2).
The vitamins didn't take effect right away since it was already 11 PM when I drank it. But, I still have progressed in my sleeping time. At around 1:00 AM, I can feel drowsiness but not enough to make me sleep. Even so, I decided to turn off my laptop and be in bed until I fall asleep. Then, I downloaded the BrainAuram app again because hearing the sound waves feels like it massages my brain. Usually, even in bed early, I will still be able to sleep from 5:00 AM onwards. But…
Mark, my prev team lead, requested a parting gift since he resigned from the company. I asked him what he wants but responded, "Cafe Latte sapat na." I was thinking he wanted a mouse pad, a mouse, a keyboard, something like that. Because last Christmas, he requested a smart lamp. He's kind and generous to me, so why not? Anyway, I know he doesn't like too much ice in his latte so I added a note: Less ice, please. The drinker is allergic to too much ice. Let's just understand…
A cheesy spinach pizza from Angel's Pizza for dinner... Thanks to Antoni's meal allowance I get to eat this pizza I've been craving for 4 months! The company he's working with has this pizza store in their canteen. He also gave one box to our classmate's in college, his workmate.
I was added to a group chat and everyone was talking about Doxygen. I only know Oxygen. So I researched it, and I just hope my brain cells can keep up with them.
My dinner for tonight - 10 pcs of Takoyaki and a large choco muffin from Figaro, then I paired it with Yakult.
In all fairness, it's been three consecutive nights that I'm no longer sleeping between 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM. Yeeey! Sleeping at 2:00 AM is early already for me. But I'll try to sleep on or before midnight. Good morning!
I was tagged again and was a bit confused with the questions. I had something on my mind but not pretty sure if what was on my mind was right. Luckily, I have an intelligent boyfriend. 😅 I messaged him on Messenger and he explained it thru chat. I kept on asking questions that are beyond the primary question, so he responded, "Google Meet." With this new job position, I've been asking Antoni frequently, and I think he likes it. He always mentioned that I never ask for his…
My late lunch. Messy and crowded, but this will do. Then I paired it with a hot choco drink, perfect for this gloomy weather.
I didn't see this coming. I was too focused on learning and fixing issues with Git and forgot I need to learn 'this' part for work. Kaya naman may kasabihan tayo, "Ang inhinyerong nahihirapan sa pag-aaral o trabaho, sa Indiano kumakapit." Yes, hello!
Meeting at 8:00 PM and I haven't eaten nor cooked my dinner yet. I'm still checking the PR while trying to figure out JavaScript. 🥹🥲 Why is it my previous team lead, a ComSci with an electronics hobby, resigned? Oh, I know. I know. But why? 🥹🥲
It's been a tough week - physically, mentally, financially, and above all, emotionally. I just want to cry, but it feels like I don't have the luxury of time to cry.
It has been a tough week, and the week is not yet over. https://read.cash/@keeneek/tough-week-but-still-grateful-4dc5747e
Still wide awake. Why? Because I drank the vitamin after lunch. I fell asleep around 6 PM and then woke up at almost 9 PM. 🥴 I don't know why I did that since I am supposed to take it every after dinner. 😑 Result? Wrote three blogs. Not a travel blog, but still the quantity was somehow shocking to me.
I decided to join Deranged Photography Contest under the amateur tier, and my model is my sister - the third in the pack. https://peakd.com/hive-147010/@kneelyrac/the-fashionista-in-the-pack
A set of errors thrice in a row today... I'm sweating, like seriously. Yesterday, I also encoutered errors in China Docs. IT team from PH and China explained to me the this and that, and my world started spinning. 😶
I didn't take vitamins yesterday so I can write at night. And guess what, I'm still wide awake at past 6 AM. Anyway, here's my newly posted article on Read about the books I plan to finish this month: https://read.cash/@keeneek/currently-reading-these-books-22ef7757
Was a bit bold last night and decided to use the force-push command. huehue Anyway, Antoni told me that my knowledge of Git is no longer under the wing of Basic since I'm handling different branches and repositories. Teheeeee Me: "Oh, really? I didn't know that." Me internally: "OMG!! Yipeee!"
Shared on Read the things I gifted to my sisters. https://read.cash/@keeneek/smartwatch-and-concert-ticket-fc69d7ac
Antoni got inked today... He has a fear of needles and blood but is still pushed in getting a tatt. At first, he wanted to have his name inked. I asked him why, and he responded "for identification if I went missing or what and I forgot to bring IDs." 😅 Thankfully, he decided to have circuit design instead. He may have decided to pursue being a software engineer, but I guess he will always love electronics. I won't be surprised if he starts accepting projects and a thesis…
If I get delayed for at least 2 weeks, then killer dysmenorrhea will show up. If it's on time, I will still experience dysmenorrhea. Just why? I was planning to study something today for work and ask for Antoni's help, but I ended up sleeping for the whole day and woke up at 9:30 PM. I even missed Papa's call - he attempted to call me 7 times and Cookie even called me on Messenger.
I woke up yesterday at past 2 PM. But dysmenorrhea is at its finest, so I slept at around 5 PM and then woke up at 9:20 PM. And now, I can't sleep. Amid dysmenorrhea and the pulsating pain in my left foot, I was able to finish two modules. I'm not yet sleepy and still can proceed but it's Monday - I have work and need to wake up at 9:30 AM, if possible at 9 AM. Good morning and good night!
I'm feeling tired and restless caused of dysmenorrhea. But my dream was not dreamy. It was JavaScript - my unexpected additional work. So I stood up and start working. I'm starving, by the way. Too many cravings because of this unwanted monthly visitor.
It's raining here. I want to sleep more, but the lunch break is over. Anyways, my nail cracked again. Back to short nails. 😕
Thankfully, I double-checked my blog again. It's The Pantry Iligan, but I typed The Panty Iligan instead. Huehuehuehue
Check out my blog about The Pantry Iligan — a two-in-one Italian-inspired restaurant. Their pizza and gelato are a must-try! https://peakd.com/hive-120586/@kneelyrac/the-pantry-iligan-a-two-in-one-italian-inspired-restaurant
Posted on Read my dinner at IKEA Swedish Restaurant with Antoni and our friends. https://read.cash/@keeneek/dinner-at-ikea-swedish-restaurant-e238d21a
From kiddo until now, this food never gets old. Alala ko tuloy noong time na eto lagi ulam sa hapagkainan. Tapos sina mama, kape yung ulam. Yung dalawang sachet ng milo, paghahatian namin magkakapatid. College na ako nun, may isip na. Since ako yung ate, gumigive way talaga ako para sa mga kapatid ko. Kaya kami magkakapatid, well-trained sa walang ulam to walang kainan. Hehe. If may kainan naman na bongga, good luck! Lalakas namin kumain lahat, like kaming apat talaga. 🤣 Mga…
That was a long meeting, like seriously. For three hours, I was explaining and talking and bla bla bla. Also, I'm challenging myself to make a small project this weekend and then blog about it to accelerate my learning curve. I'm so excited even though I need to catch up with them. I've never felt this kind of rush since the review and board exam days. Photo is not related. Just me and my messy table at the back. 😅
I need to read more than ten documents, plus the meetings, update the documentation, and connect with the other peeps. I also need to continue studying programming and also the modules and board since the new supervisor gave me three assignments. Yep, it's not a task, but an assignment. And I will message him if I have the answer already. I'm loaded. Worried but excited. Seriously. I'm getting hungrier each day.
I'm back to drinking brewed coffee because it's no-chill Friday. Too many things to do, like seriously. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish this before 8:00 PM. 🥹🥲
Four backlogs, three assignments, and one module to finish - definitely not a chill weekend. There is kayamukat, but lezgooow and have some bitter brewed coffee. 🙄
Enough with the commercial break. It's time to get serious. 🤖🤖🤖 Have a productive and blessed weekend everyone! 😁
I don't have biscuits or noodles, so I cooked Champorado around 2:30 AM because my tummy was asking for food since 11 PM. If I'm in Cebu right now, I'd probably be lurking on LEB or Foodpanda. But I'm no longer living in the metro.
Partially done with the onboarding guide. I even replied to my supervisor and to the CEO. Too bad I wasn't able to write blogs because I was still working on weekends. Hopefully, I can write one this week. Anyway, it's time for me to sleep. Good night guys! Keep safe!
I'm feeling under the weather right now. I was so invested, and now, I'm disappointed. But it is what it is. Life must go on. 🙂
This happened this afternoon. It was pouring with thunder. I checked the back door because of the loud bang - the ceiling fell off and the water almost entered my apartment. I didn't have plastic boots, and I have a wounded left foot. Not a good idea to clean this mess.
At last! It's a success. I've been trying to resolve the conflicts for more than an hour. Good evening!
Antoni bought something for me—Cha Time Matcha Iced Latte and Ube Hopia from Julie's Bakeshop. Yum!!!
I had a mini heart attack. Akala ko nadown yung server pagkarelease ko sa updates. 😭 Nakailang refresh ako, di talaga. So I messaged one of the members of the IT Team na in-charge para tulungan ako sa mga ganitong issue. He responded naman na okay lang sa end niya. Huhu. Buti naman. So nagrestart na ako tapos refresh, wala pa rin. Nagtry akong magclear cache, ayown... Pwede na akong maligo! huehuehue 😵

Shared on Hive my coffee date with my best friend. We didn't see each other for 9 long months, so this was definitely a much-needed coffee date. https://peakd.com/hive-147010/@kneelyrac/coffee-date-with-the-best-friend-at-bos-coffee-cebu-city
The one-year warranty of the Musso gaming chair is legit. For the armrest plus the shipping fee, I will be paying a peso only. 😁
It's a gloomy afternoon, and I'm feeling under the weather. I decided to sleep for the whole lunch break. I need to pause for a while. Troubled, and it's quite confusing lately. But I know this is just temporary.
Cooked Pork Sinigang for my late lunch. The weather is gloomy, and I'm feeling under the weather. So might as well fill my tummy with good food.
I've been sleeping today—during lunch break and after work (more than two hours). Kinda disappointed because I expected a lot from all the verbal negotiation, meetings, and whatsoever. So I guess it's time for Plan D.
Drinking tea while trying to finish the module. I am overdue with this. I can't do it this weekend since I'll be in Baguio. I might not be able to join HivePH game night. Too bad.
I can now have a good night sleep. I'm done with the second course I enrolled in and received my certificate already. I'll perform the exercises first before I enroll in another course again. Good night!
Received my certificate already. The initial plan was to take all the courses, but I think I need to finish the 150 basic exercises first. I'm serious about this so I made a Trello board to track and manage everything since I'm aiming for both electronics and web development.
Will my legs survive in Baguio? I mean, I only have shorts—I have no jeans, trousers, or leggings. 🥶 I have a low tolerance to cold temperatures.
