Just woke up! My body asked for more so I slept for 5 hours again. I was just in my room, editing the photos for my travel blog. I've been hibernating too much that I don't feel like eating. Hmmm. Good evening, everyone!

@kneelyrac

I had one of the best 15-hour sleep of my life. And because of that I probably sleep at dawn again. 😅 The cycle... I want to go on hiking/walking today but it's too boring to walk alone. Good afternoon!

@kneelyrac

Home at last. I am exhausted from the webinar and then walking in Chinatown given that I only had two hours of sleep. No more studying, blogging, or watching KDrama tonight. I just want to sleep. Good night!

@kneelyrac

I only had 2 hours of sleep. I'm extra sleepy but still on a webinar until noon. We are currently on a 15-min coffee break but there's no coffee here. 🥺 I need to reactivate my brain because there will be an assessment something. The passing score is 8/10. OMG! 🤣

@kneelyrac

There was an urgent Pull Request from the other team. I need to review it before merging it into the master branch. But then errors occurred upon building. I did trial and error for three different branches to pinpoint the errors. I had to cancel my outing tonight all because of a comma. Just wow for almost two ahwers! 🙃

@kneelyrac

Late lunch again with the same food I'd been munching for days. It's pretty convenient, especially since I don't have time to cook meals for lunch. The pro and cons of living away from home - forced diet. My weight is maintained, but I get to eat a real meal in the evening only, around 8-9 PM. Last night, I had my dinner at 9:30 PM. I was craving a sotanghon but I didn't have any energy left. So I ended up opening a canned good and then cooked the corned beef with an egg. Not sure if I can cook a sotanghon this evening because there's an urgent task. This will tire me out again.

@kneelyrac

I overslept! My goodness! But anyway, I received an email today that I have been chosen as one of the participants in the series of webinars, the one I applied to last month. At first, I didn't know that there will be a selection process not until I read again the post when I invited and showed it to my classmates. After that, I thought "Ah, okay. I probably won't be selected since it's more for Radio Network Engineers." The words Free and CPD are a good combo, that's why I applied tho. It then slipped through my mind and even told Antoni last night that we should go out early on Saturday (around 10 AM) so I have something to write. 😅 The training is every Saturday of this month from 8 AM to 12 NN. I already set the alarm from 6:15 AM until 7:30 AM. Ahhh... Just thinking of waking up early tires me already. Plus I must force myself to sleep on or before midnight. 🥴

@kneelyrac

Does it bother you if you try to share something with your friend like the message is 3-4 paragraphs and each paragraph contains 3-4 sentences, but then your friend didn't reply? Days have passed and your friend chose not to read and reply to your message. Because for me, it does. So I'm no longer gonna share and use the 'Ignore' feature on Messenger It doesn't sound good, and I'll end up with no friends I can talk to. Photo is not related by the way. I just miss coffeeworks cookies 'n cream frappe.

@kneelyrac

Late lunch again - choco flakes with fresh milk. Anyway, last week, I've accepted the fact that I'll be receiving 🆗 emoji react always and not be bothered with it. I decided to just brush it off and just think that it is because of the age gap. But yesterday, I bumped into this quote "If you don't have a question, then you probably don't understand it." So it got me to these questions again: "Is technical stuff difficult for the non-technical peeps?" "Was my explanation/instruction confusing?" "Is she trying to figure it out by herself?" I asked her already to her. You see...I'm confused. I'm still learning how to handle someone - it's my first time. Antoni told me that he sees me as a natural leader, but no matter how much I flip it, I can't see and understand why. So now, my option is to read a book about leadership and educate myself. Any book recommendations are highly appreciated! 🙂😊

@kneelyrac

My late lunch. Today is the last day of the long weekend. Tomorrow, I'll be busy again because international workmates have been asking me for updates. I decided to reply to one of them and I'll work on it by tomorrow. But for now, I'm gonna finish my entry to the Hive PH blogging contest so I can proceed with studying.

@kneelyrac

The long weekend is almost over—no more sleeping at 6 AM because work is waving. I've been trying to keep myself busy building and upgrading my skills, so it's safe to say my long weekend has been very productive. I also do simple tasks at work from time to time, but just add some to the Trello board because PH rarely has this long weekend tho. Good morning!!!

@kneelyrac

I'm again facing my dilemma--getting sleepy during a study session. 1hr study, 4hrs sleep. No wonder during my review for the board, I survived with 4-7 coffee per day, rolled oats for my dinner (because rice makes me sleepy), & chocolate. I'm getting older na. 🥲 After waking up and reading the message from my two foreign colleagues, I was contemplating if I should work instead of continuing my study session. Then I realized...I don't have overtime pay for this, so I'm gonna drink coffee and continue where I left off in the video tutorial.

@kneelyrac

I love Hello wafer and also its pick up line—from 'Peace be with you' to 'Pls be wid me' (Please be with me). 😅 Anyway, I'm sleepy already but don't want to fuel my system with caffeine. So my resort is something sweet and a fidget to keep my hand busy while I watch the tutorial.

@kneelyrac

This app helps me to fall asleep especially when my body and eyes are tired already but my brain is still pretty active and refuses to rest. Good afternoon!

@kneelyrac

Five more videos left for week 1 modules to finish. I'm fueling my system with caffeine because I'm extra sleepy already. Hope this will perk me up.

@kneelyrac

I slept for the whole day—woke up at 5:30 PM. I was supposed to study in the afternoon and do my side hustles in the evening. But it's not too late to be productive tho... Plans for tonight: - Study - Read at least three chapters of one of my current reads - Publish an article on Read - Write a draft blog for Hive Hopefully, I will be able to tick the off before I sleep.

@kneelyrac

After 6 hours, electricity and water are back. I was supposed to buy groceries last night but was busy with work and moved it today. However, I didn't expect that our area is alert #3. I was starving already since I only had lomi last night for my dinner. When the rain stopped at past 2 PM, Antoni and I went out to have our late lunch and buy groceries. It's my first time going to the grocery wearing a jacket and pajama. We also bought food for our dinner in case the electricity won't be back. When we came out from Waltermart, the rain and wind were strong, until now tho. Hopefully, this will subside soonest. Keep safe everyone!

@kneelyrac

Yesterday, Antoni and I planned to go to Tagaytay if it still rains today. However, we both received a message from NDRRMC that Cavite is on alert signal #3. I really want to go and have a coffee there so I have something to write (hihi). I'd love to experience a freezing cold and foggy Tagaytay, but I guess we'll just postpone it and go there if it's just normal rain, not a typhoon.

@kneelyrac

Instead of going to Binondo tomorrow, we'll be heading to Tagaytay. Ahhhh... I'm excited already - chilling at SB with a foggy view of Taal while sipping my Java Chip/Matcha Latte. Hihi

@kneelyrac

One colleague messaged me at 10:04 PM... Me: Thanks for pointing this out, ****. Will check this one tomorrow. After 15 minutes... I want to finish writing my Baguio trip before midnight but my other self talked, 'Maybe you should do it real quick, ghorl.' So yeah, I opened VS code and start fixing the issue. Note to self, do not open Mattermost at night! 😒

@kneelyrac

Working overtime, but I'm almost done. After this, I'll continue writing my blog for Hive and Read. I need to hustle harder because I've got new bills to pay to start next month, November 30. 😅 Also, I accidentally found out my previous team leader's salary. Unfortunately, my salary now is not the same as his even when I took over his position. If only my salary increase is the same as his before, I might not look for a part-time job again. My blogging would be enough tho. 🥲

@kneelyrac

My Saturdays next month, in November, is fully-booked already. After how many months, I finally catch a free webinar with CPD points! One webinar is equivalent to 2 CPD points—a total of 8 CPD points. Not bad!

@kneelyrac

It's unprofessional to just 🆗 react to work-related messages, especially the instructions. I'm not sure if it's just me being overly sensitive, but I find it irritating to look at it as time goes by. As for today, my messages are like these: "Hello, Luffy. Good morning. We will have our meeting once you're done checking the documentation. If you can finish it this Friday, then we'll set the meeting for next week. Product categories that need to be changed are ..." 🆗 "If you can't finish it on Friday, let me know. Also, you can change right away the documentation if it has missing nonbreaking spaces, typos, and such. As for the images, kindly note them." 🆗 It feels like I'm talking to myself. I've been telling myself that she's still new and I need more time to adjust. But...there are times for the whole day, I only receive 🆗 react. So when I dropped a series of instructions last week, she just 🆗 react to all of it. After a few hours, she replied with something...that's when I snapped and told her that I thought she understood everything because of the emoji. It's kinda frustrating on my part to reprimand a team member who's 8 years older. I dunno how am I going to work with this kind of behavior or personality. Maybe it's the age gap... Ugh, I don't know. I need more patience and understanding. Breathe...

@kneelyrac

I've been planning to go back to Cebu City and live there again. Not anytime soon, but hopefully, by next year. And one of the things I want to visit first is Barangay Seoul. Although they don't have different meat to choose from, it's still one of my fave unlimited samgyup restaurants. I also miss their must-try Korean-style chicken. Hopefully, they will add cheese to their samgyup setup.

@kneelyrac

Just woke up from a 4-hour sleep. It's good that I slept for a few hours, but somehow not because this means my body might be awake until sunrise again. The effect of the antihistamine and my inhaler were a bit too late. Usually, I feel sleepy two hours after taking it. But for this one, I took it at dawn around 3 AM, and wasn't sleepy until 7:30 AM. Then I felt sleepy again at 6 PM. Good evening!
