I planned this week with lessons I’ve learned in the past entries—being careful not to overwhelm myself. I’ve broken my tasks down into actionable items, limited my goals into three, and allotted a lot of time for each. The ending? A huge disappointment. The week sped through like a car on a highway, it was … Continue reading Disappoinment
Short Thoughts
Sometimes, you just want to let your brain fart and say do what it wants. This category is basically my brain’s toilet.
Go with the flow, but guide the flow
The biggest thing that I've learned in the past few years is to never force anything that you don't want to do. Go with the flow as they say. Although I do believe that going with whatever nature has in store for us incredibly liberating, it's also the reason why I became complacent, unproductive, and … Continue reading Go with the flow, but guide the flow
Lies
I've always told my workmates that my hobby is writing. But... it's been almost two months since I've written my official short story. I felt like a fraud. I was lying and it didn't sit with me right. So, I decided to build the momentum of writing by reading and posting some short thoughts. I … Continue reading Lies
Moving on
It's really hard to confess to someone, but it's even more difficult to move on. It's been a very long time since I had feelings for another woman, so it was really hard to move on. Eventually, I learned through a friend of mine to never reminisce. Never look back on the good times, never … Continue reading Moving on
Giving a Flower
I was in the office holding a rose in my hand. I had all the intention to give the person I like flowers ever since the beginning of the week. I stood outside the room where she was eating and I felt my breath hastening. I felt my body shaking and my arms sweating. I … Continue reading Giving a Flower
Boring Businesses
Some Reddit post caught my attention last week, it involved a lot of Filipino Chinese people and why they're so rich, how they were so successful, and such. It was brought to my attention that all those rich people have boring and unattractive businesses that I too want to get into it. That's why for … Continue reading Boring Businesses
Obsidian
For the longest time, I was always using Word as my default word processor. I've used this for all my homework, projects, and everything you can imagine. I used it for my journal entries, crash and burn sessions, and some of my short thoughts. It wasn't until my computer started dying and slowly becoming so … Continue reading Obsidian
Learning C++
I've learned a lot of programming languages in the past, and this particular language is a pain in the ass. I know Java, Python, Ruby, and C#, but this programming language is something that I'm forced to learn. I didn't learn it because I enjoy it unlike the other languages, but it's a requirement. I … Continue reading Learning C++
Writing Spree
I don't know what took over me for the past couple of days, but I'm on fire. I've been consistently writing every day, and this is one of my goals. I've always struggled writing outside of my daily journal entries and crash-and-burn sessions, but this time? It feels like I'm not forcing myself to write. … Continue reading Writing Spree
Tons of Mistakes
This week alone has taught me so much about myself. To the ways I manage stress, surprises, and unexpected events. Everything. It feels surreal that you can have as many mistakes and lessons learned all in a single week. The best part is that I'm still making so many mistakes and it's good! During this … Continue reading Tons of Mistakes
