Here is me doodling a random thing while waiting for the phase 1 of our OJT. We had to attend a webinar series that will help us in our career.
After this, I would need to make a handwritten reflection about the lessons I got. Moreover, I need to attend classes.
4th year classes really hit different than the past 3 years in college.
Today is a tiring day. I attended a lot of orientation for my OJT. Then in the late afternoon, I had to do some asynch activities.
But still, this is probably one of the last few days where I am not going to cry out of frustration so I am grateful that I was able to have a virtual date with my partner.
We watched a sad movie on Discord and while we were watching, I was doing some crochet orders that I have. I still need to finish 1 1/2 set of these cutie cat ears headset covers but I am confident that I will be able to finish it tomorrow. That will give me time to finish the other order I received today.
I decided to accept the OJT offer that I got even if it is more aligned for an ECE student than an ICE student. I will still learn how to do 3D designs so that is still helpful.
I just need to make sure to find an ICE aligned OJT next time unless I want to be hired at ECE jobs. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I just find that it would be a waste if I do not go to an ICE aligned jobs.
It has been a while since I last posted an article. Today I decided to share some life update that no one will be interested in but I just wanted to write it for myself.

It had been a while since I last posted here. There are a kot of things that haooened in my life recently and I find myself having a hard time balancing all the things I want to do. As much as it pained me to do so, blogging is taken to the back seat.
I am not sure when I will be able to post again but I decided that even a short update will already be a win for me.
Yesterday I received an email in reply to one of the OJT applications I sent to multiple companies. Me and my classmates were invited for an interview at the same time today and I am so nervous about it.
I wish I could say that I prepared for it all night but no, I just watched random Youtube videos until I fell asleep. Then now, instead of studying I am here browsing random applications.
I decided to take a break from streaming Blackpink's Pink Venom since the view already reached the 48-hour goal. I will continue streaming again for tomorrow maybe in a different streaming platform or not. Depends on my mood.
Anyway, I feel really proud of the Pinks since they worked hard for the comeback and they deserve the records they are setting this time. Next month will be more hectic for sure. The streaming goals for this comeback were a bit generalized so there was not a sinle focus of breaking a single record. We were just mostly streaming and participating in anyway we can. I feel like that will change next month since this comeback did so well.
I finished making a Jisoo amigurumi. It is inspired from one of her outfits in the music video where she was playing an instrument.
I am currently looking for the next amigurumi I will make. I am eyeing Lisa's outfit when she was rapping. Maybe I will do that. I am not 100% sure yet though since the color of her hair there is a bit far from the available colors I have on hand.
I have been streaming since I woke up HAHA. I am not gonna stop until 24 hours passed.
I am using both my phone and laptop to stream HAHAHA. It is tiring but I will stream since I have a bit of time. Next time I might be too busy to fully enjoy their music huhu.
I am making an amigurumi inspired from one of the outfits in Blackpink's comeback, Pink Venom. I want to make one amigurumi for eac member but that will take a while. I am doing this while streaming the MV HAHA. Multitasking at its finest.
Can you guess who I am making right now?
I should be stressing over what thesis titles proposal I should pass tomorrow but here I am starting a new amigurumi project.
The visual of Blackpink's Pink Venom really made my hands itch. So I decided I will do my best to create amigurumi of their chibi versions. I hope I can do it though.
Can you guess whose doll I will be doing first?
MYGHAAAD I DIEAD DEAD STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN TALAGA
BLACKPINK IS BACK. And they are still as awesome as before. My ghad I want to cry HAHAHA.
6.6 Million views in just 20 minutes. The power of these girls are really something else.
I am streaming right now but I sadly have to stop for a bit since I need to do something.
Blinks who are streaming with me, enjoy and fighting! Let's do our best to support our girls.
Stream Pink Venom MV here:

Accck I am so excited for their comeback! My heart is going crazy with waiting for it.
I forgot to buy snacks for my streaming comfort but anyway, I will deal with that later. I will be using my laptop and phone to stream Blackpink's comeback later.
Good morning, everyone!
Look at these two sets of headset covers. I really liked how these turned out even thoughit is my first time making them. I am also glad to see that the customer also seemed happy about it.
I broke my promise of writing an article about the Anya bucket hat pattern but anyway that is my life now.
I am currently working on a crochet order. The customer ordered 2 headset covers set. One is light blue with cat ears while the other is just pure black with no cat ears.
This is currently my progress. It was my first time making a top part for the headset covers so I started with black since I have more black yarns than blue yarns. If I had made a mistake, it would be easy to restart.
Thankfully though I did not make a mistake. I feel increcibly proud of this project since it is fully free handed.
Tomorrow, I would be publishing an article about how to make your own Anya bucket hat. It is a freehanded pattern that I am willing to share for free.
But I am tired now so I will just publish it tomorrow.
Good morning, everyone!
I was feeling uneasy when I woke up. I had a feeling that I am forgetting something but I can not remember what. Fortunately, my bestfriend messaged me at the right time asking if I am already in the Zoom meeting. I had forgotten about the general orientation for a subject.
I managed to be in the meeting before it starts though so that is a win. Thanks to my best friend who reminded me HAHAH.
Good evening, everyone.
It has been a while since I last posted. I have no excuse other than depression.
My body feels so heavy lately and I find myself just staring into space or mindlessly scrolling. It sounds like I am just lazy but my body is not functioning properly huhu
Just bought a new set of yarns. These are for the requests of my sister, and father.
My sister wanted an Anya bucket hat. While my father wanted another crochet beanie. The rest of the yarns will be used for making more beanies.
This cutie accompanied me for my class today. She was just sleeping next to me the whole time and just purring. I really like her show of moral support haha.
As expected, the class only lasted for a short while since most of it is just introduction and setting expectations. I was surprised that I got called on but it turns out my best friend mentioned me to the professor. The professor is also an alumni at our high school so there's that.
I am currently in a Zoom meeting waiting for the class to start. In all honesty, I would rather be sleeping right now or lying in bed but this is the life of a student.
This is the first class where we actually have a synchronous class. Most likely just an introduction and a meeting to discuss the face to face classes that will happen in September.
I just finished a quick cardio workout today. I decided to dedicate Wednesdays, and weekends for cardio. Then the other days are for strength training and targeted workout.
So far I am happy with where I am. I managed to sleep for a full 8 hours today which is probably why I am in a good mood.
I was inactive for the day since I tried so hard to sleep. In the end, I did managed to get an hour sleep. It is not much but 3hrs is better than only 2hrs.
Anyway, I am not really feeling up to writing an article today. I have a topic in mind but I just don't want to push myself too much. I already have a lot on my plate right now.
So I just decided to read the novel of the webtoon I discovered this week. The title is Regina Rena: To the Unforgiven. It was a story with a cool plot and I am interested to find out where it goes.
As expected, my sleeping schedule suffered a lot from my decision to stop taking quetiapine.
Ever since I took quetiapine, I have been having restful sleep. I have weird dreams but my sleep is generally peaceful. Although, I do have a bad habit of oversleeping because the medication made me so sleepy.
Now that I stopped, I have been undersleeping. This time is the worse as I only managed to sleep for 2 hours at most. I still pushed myself to exercise though. Maybe I was not tired enough last night. But it is most likely due to the changes because of not taking quetiapine.
It was a difficult night for me, but I still want to push through the week to see if my body can handle it.
The power these girls hold is insane. In hiatus for so long yet when they come back everyone is still here waiting for them.
I can't wait to see Lisa and Rosé's concept teasers. After such a long wait the pinks are finally coming back waaah I am so excited.
This hidden achievement in Daylio app perfectly captures what I feel as a bipolar person.
I have been trying to find myself again since my diagnosis. I thought I could do it by trying to get 'normalcy' by taking meds. But it only served to make me feel as if I lost a huge chunk of who I am.

In this article, I shared about a risky move that I made in hopes of finally getting my life back together after the diagnosis.
I have finished exercising for today. I was able to finish two and a half workouts which targeted different areas in my body.
As of now, I am walking in place for a few minutes before finally resting.
It's insane how my mood feels so much better when I stopped taking quetiapine cold turkey. Like why was I so afraid of the withdrawal effects?
I still have a bit of self-awareness that I might just be slipping into a manic episode HAHA instead of actually being in a stable mood. But who cares? I don't really care at all. I miss the times when I feel incredibly giddy about everything in life. I miss the feeling of being able to do the things I want because I have so much energy.
Sure a bad depression is waiting for me at the end, but at least I got the manic episode to balance it out.
If you read this, you might think that I absolutely do need help. Especially if you are familiar with bipolar.
Here is the finished amigurumi that I was making earlier. I call this project Au-ghost. I plan to write an article about this where I will share some pictures of the process.
EDIT: 20 minutes after posting this, I managed to publish the article with the behind the scenes pictures.

I am currently starting a new amigurumi project. I have been wanting to do this project for a while now but it always gets pushed back because of some crochet orders.
Now that I delisted my products online, I found some time to start working on projects that I want to do instead of just doing the same projects over and over again.
