Here comes the construction sounds happening at like… 10PM. Why tf is someone jackhammering something at this hour?! 😑

📷 Day 7: panorama #mbsept

I rarely take actual panorama photos with my phone, but maybe this’ll count? View of the clouds during my flight from the Philippines to Thailand ☁️🤩

View outside a flight en route to Thailand from the Philippines. The glare of the sun is out of the frame, but its light shines brightly on the fluffy sea of clouds, further defining their shape. The sky above the clouds is a calming type of blue, reinforcing how serene the heavens look.

📷 Day 6: (oh) well #mbsept

This was a moment that got me to go, “oh well, I’m drenched in the rain, but at least I’m near home.” 😅

(I tried to see if I took any photos of actual wells, and… I have photos of other things with water, but not wells 😆)

Selfie of Chi in her rain gear for her bike commute, wearing her red Lumos helmet and a black rain poncho. Both the poncho and her helmet are visibly drenched or have rain drops on them, and Chi's making a dejected or kind of exhausted face.

I really hope in the future I don’t have to call or check in advance if the venues I’m going to allow (folding) bikes inside, or at the very least have accessible bike parking within or nearby. 🙏🏻

We finally have Figma access for our team at work!!! 😭💖 Finally hahahuhuhu I can feel more at home in what I use for designing 🥲

∞

My calls to my bank’s customer service calls are longer than my meetings. 😆😅

This is generally a summary of why I’m still focused on Yakuza: Like a Dragon 🎮 more now. I’m just taking my sweet time with all of the side quests and minigames. 😁

Screengrab of a cutscene from the game Yakuza: Like a Dragon, where Ichiban Kasuga, the game's protagonist, is seen squatting to look at a cat that is on its back and is showing its belly to him. In the background you can also see Part-Time Hero, who is the owner of the cat, behind an office desk.

📷 Day 5: forest #mbsept

This was from first trip to Europe, back in 2022. We rented bikes and rode along the bike paths around Amsterdam to get around. 😊🚲

Chi is seen walking and pushing a Dutch bike to her left, while along a bike path somewhere in Amsterdam. The path continues on straight, and lots of trees can be seen lining up both sides of the bike path, providing ample shade from the sun.

Alright, I’ve caught up to the photoblogging challenge 😁 back to my gaming. 🎮 Yakuza: Like a Dragon time 😎

(if ever you’re wondering, no, I haven’t finished Baldur’s Gate 3 yet. I got caught up in Ichiban’s story 😆)

📷 Day 4: orange #mbsept

Chi's order of Thai milk tea with choco caviar from Pang Cha, which is raised under the neon orange sign that reads: "Thailand's original Pang Cha".

these were all just from today. My goodness. Who are all these numbers and why do y’all keep calling??

Does this also happen to people in other countries? Is this just a PH thing? 😵‍💫

screenshot of Chi's Recent calls list, showing a slew of missed calls from unknown callers or numbers.

📷 Day 3: precious #mbsept

My preciouses. I don’t own cats yet, so this’ll have to do for now. 😝

(also haven’t colored in the big fat cat yet!)

Chi's 3d-printed cats, given to her by her boyfriend. She has one big fat cat, which is based on the fat cat in FFXIV, and 4 smaller Neko Atsume style cats that have their eyes, nose, mouths, and some patterns colored in with a black marker.

📷 Day 2: buildup #mbsept

The view underneath the roof of the McDonald's branch Chi was eating breakfast at. There are a lot of corners on the roof, somewhat akin to a lightning bolt shape. Also seen in view are some above-ground electric lines, and further in the distance are some high-rise condominium buildings.

📷 Day 1: abstract #mbsept

Joining in the September photoblogging challenge 😁

View outside of Chi's window. The rain is pouring, with a foggy outlook the farther you look out. The window pane is aligned to the middle of the picture as a way to frame the outside—seen to the left side portion of the photo—with the right side of the photo, which is the glass of the window pane. There are rain droplets seen on the glass.

Been a few months since I went on micro.blog. I’m still wondering what setup I should have when writing long-form posts here.

When I’m on my PC, I default to the micro.blog site. It’s fine if I’m just writing all text, but if I want to insert any images within my post, I feel some friction 😅 Still trying to figure out what would work best in this case.

∞

August was a whirlwind for stuff that happened. Starting September so far in a very chill and calm manner.

(Though there’s still a lot to plan for the coming months 😅)

∞

ooh omg, I wanna join the September photoblogging challenge in Micro.blog! I missed it in the chatter, was out during the start of the month 🙈

∞

Time to catch up on work after being gone for a week. 😅

∞

Ah damn, thinking about code is making me feel a bit overwhelmed with things again :')

so is this plotting of everything in my life so far. Sigh… Decisions, decisions…

Some of my new officemates discovered that I could sing, too. 😆 I mean, I already did sing during our team building, but I guess being drunk that time doesn’t count 😛
