Seems like there really are times where, no matter how much effort you put in, so long as it’s not to “their” ““standards”” or in the way it’s supposed to be indicated, people are unknowingly punished for their actions, even if you’re performing well beyond what you need to do.
Sigh, such is life.
Malware is a great game for showing you all the unique ways deceptive patterns can be hidden in installers 😂
Monthly, daily, hourly reminder to self that I want to do so many things yet I am only me
Balatro is now my latest obsession. 🎮
I know I have a lot of other things I wanna do… but… huhu games ;u;
Currently still in hibernating mode after my trip to Singapore. Before that, there was also our department’s team building 😆
Need rest after all that socializing and moving about 😴
Despite feeling a bit out of it and kinda staying within my comfort zone, today was a good first full day at Singapore.
I’ll do my best in the next coming days to get over my fear and just try out food at a hawker centre. 😆 I’m now more prepared and have actual cash in hand just in case hahaha
Staying in the hostel for now because I am still getting my bearings being in another country lol solo traveler moment 😆
I am technically here for Figma Config APAC as well, so I’ll just do a bit of design stuff on the side 😁
Going to Singapore later! 😄 First time ever. I’m setting up ways for me to take notes down both online and offline, in the hopes of having enough notes by the end of my trip to gather my thoughts and make myself a highlights recap. 😆
finally finished sorting through the stuff I hauled from my old unit! There’s still a big pile and bags of clothes that are set aside, but at the very least they’re all bundled up together. The rest of the things have been sorted to either trash, or for keeping somewhere. 😆
I’ll also be at Singapore by the first week of July, because I’m attending Figma Config APAC 2024 in-person 😄
Will be my first time in Singapore, so I’ve been asking around for recommendations on things to do. Am also gonna be working remotely there, but contemplating if I should just file the rest of the week as PTO so I could explore a bit more 😆
The past month or so has been super hectic! But part of getting back to routine (for me) is also posting on this side of the internet, hence why I’m here again! 😆
I want to eventually figure out a better way to manage my fediverse posting :)) but for now, this’ll have to do
My home office setup is (almost) complete 😁
(almost because I haven’t moved my computer chair from the old place yet 😆)
Life update
Felt like writing this down and putting it here as a reference on some life updates I’m comfy to share:
Moving places
I started moving in with my current partner now in a shared space. This is definitely going to be a new situation to explore, but we’re both game to face it and go through it together. The prospect is exciting, and I’m hoping this gives me the bump up in terms of Quality of Life that I’ve been longing for so long—something I realized after thinking about stuff I wanted to do in the future.
Part of me wonders why when my partner brought this up, that I didn’t panic as much as I would have had this happened before. Technically this is a big move, a big change, and it’s life-changing. But at the same time… I guess, I already saw it was gonna happen sooner or later, so it made sense as the next step? Not necessarily a small or super big step, but just… a step. A step forward.
For sure there’ll be bumps on this road my partner and I are taking together, but I’m determined to see these through. And he’s shared the same sentiment. Here’s hoping I look back at this post with a smile on my face.
Learning to deal with disappointing others
In this case… it’s my parents. I’ve already moved out of their house for 2 years now, but of course we’re still talking, updating each other about life, and occasionally meeting to eat together as a family again.
But this time around, I had to give them the news of what I shared above. And they were both not happy, what with them both having traditional values and all. My partner and I are not married (yet(?)) but we also both recognize that this would be helpful for us in the long run. That clashes with traditional or conservative views, though. So… I really just had to face the reality that I’d be disappointing and possibly hurting my parents with this decision.
This might not be much to others, but I realized it was to me. Growing up, I always did my best to “be in the right”, and if ever there were any sketchy shit I was getting into, that I’d do everything to hide that as much as possible. The sketchy shit weren’t really, like… super controversial (in my opinion). Just the usual vices young adults tend to get into as they go through life.
But… there. I guess writing this down also is my way of coping with the situation. It’s still technically an “unresolved” situation, but I’m doing my best to make my resolve firm and just face the consequences and make do with what I have currently. I’ll just continue moving forward. I have to, in order to grow as a person.
I guess… that’s mostly it. That’s what I wanted to share.
With this update in my life, I’m hoping I get to do more things that I want, given that it’s me literally choosing myself and my needs as well. It’s scary, but I’ll do it anyway.
It’s also my birth month, so I find some symbolism as well with how my life is now changing more on this date, at the start of this month. Hopefully with this change, I find growth and also get a better sense of who I am. Hopefully I get to know myself better enough to love myself more and more for each passing day.
Here’s to changing for the better.
I didn’t get to finish the April photoblogging challenge again 🥲 But oh well, at least I got to update it for most of the month!
Gonna write another post to just share updates on life as well.
as the weeks pass I hear more and more sirens 😟 kung hindi ambulance, fire truck. huhu

📷 Day 22: blue #mbApr
Taken last 24 June 2022. Second to the last gig I got to attend of Banna Harbera performing. They stopped putting new music out later that year too, but I was thankful I still got to attend some of the gigs when they were still playing. 🥹
