Alright bois and girls. So, Ashlee dd's birthday is in august and since august 1 we have setup a little quest for her. If you are connected with me on IG, I bet you've already seen it. I love it honestly. I love doing these sort of things. Like helping make people's life a little more magical? There's whole another world just waiting to unravel, you just have to imagine it. It's awesome.
So, today was day 4th and we did a stranger things themed quest. You'll see it when the video comes tomorrow. Honestly, this was the best one I had thought and PJ dai came up with the hint which was perfect for the scenario. And I also added a little twist at the end.
Now, I have to think about what's for tomorrow lol. We honestly are just thinking it day by day. But now we also want to make it a little more intentional about how the story develops.
So my friend which we have chosen to address by Ms. R, sent me this "meme?" which says Mr. talks about how he is feeling regularly, and that reminded me I haven't written a blog and talked to myself and downloaded my thoughts for a while now.
You know I realized something today while working out. I was working out, and went on this zone where I was just looking at what's around me, and not thinking any thoughts about it? I was almost thoughtless for a while, and I realized, wow this is so cool. Then I started thinking about, how it'd be good if we don't internalize things. Like about the events, or things that happen around us. I don't need to look around and say man wish I was like that man. Look at this fucking forearms and chest. I used to see these videos of men checking out girls in the gym, but I find myself looking at guys working out and try to learn what they are doing and also dream that one day I will have body like that guy!
But as I was saying, everything is just invented by us right. What we need to feel happy about, what we need to feel sad about. Everything is judged by what we value. I think I've talked about this before.. guys I am really bad at communicating thoughts lol. but. this is how thoughts come. I am not trying to write a fucking essay with intro, thesis, supporting points and conclusion. Which reminds me of my professors from my honors class. They were the best. Can't believe it's been 5 years already. I still don't know how to write a proper paper. But hey, I can write. I will write until the end of the day without any issues. If I know that it's is not being graded.
Ok so status. I have almost paid off all my credit card bills. I have $29 dollars in my bank account haha. But that's still in -ve. I will be able to finish paying all the tuition and all the expenses due to unforeseen events within few months. I am excited about having a +ve bank balance in almost 5 years now. I have made some poor financial decisions (well.. honestly I haven't made a lot. I count spending extra $100 for un-necessary items really bad). Most of these come from the tuition itself and unforeseen circumstances. You know what it was. not going to elaborate here.
Also, you know what's funny. The day I got the news that I wasn't selected after the final round, I got an email from google saying that I got qualified for online assessment. I then passed the OA had my interview scheduled towards the end of September. Yesterday I heard that google was no longer hiring for the rest of the year and my recruiter told me that we would touch bases towards the end of the month. And today I got Online Assessment link from Amazon? That again made me realize how unprepared I still was. I think I can pass this OA but worried about the actual interview. And thanks again Ms. R for checking in on me if I was studying lol, you're awesome.
But yeah man, pretty happy, stable, and I have made this role. Once I commit to something I won't listen to myself. Like actually. I haven't really committed to anything except that I would work straight 3 days and fix every bug and I did that. So kinda feel good about that. Now, I will follow this. I won't commit to things easily but once I do, I won't even listen to myself. And if you are struggling with procrastination, this is what worked for me. - So, when I would work, I realized most of the time I spend on just watching random stuff on youtube. So I prevented myself from watching youtube unless it was related to the feature that I was working on or the bug that needed to be fixed. And I was very intentional about that. It's the same method I use with studying. I don't google stuff, I just have a set of youtube videos downloaded on my device and I can only watch those. Which pretty much covers everything. Or, I write what I need to google down, or any other thought that I have on a notepad and do it later once I finish my committed period of time. It's worked for me. You just have to be intentional about it.
Let's see other than that I am making good progress on the gym. Still on the vegan diet. I am also learning how to make latte art, honestly the third time I made it was pretty close to being good, and the fourth one was nothing like an art lol. I tried making it on the cold brew? maybe that was why.
Right now I am listening to stranger things playlist and its 11:00 pm, so I am going to complete my duolingo lesson, and then brush my teeth, do the skincare routine and off to bed we go. Also that reminds me, the system that duoliongo has is really good. Like you have to keep the streak going plus you get 2 streak refill slots and you earn points while you complete each lesson, which you can buy to do streak refills.
Honestly, if it wasn't for streak refills I wouldn't have now 80+ days of streak. Like my motivation would go down. the streak would go down to 0 and I would stop. But now I can use those streak refill and I need to do lessons so I can fill them up in case I forget to do it someday. I am more cautious and do it. Nice play Duolingo.
Now, I am also trying productivity apps like habit tracking to build this habit. I haven't studied for the past few days. I did yesterday a little bit but not to the extend that I would have loved. Honestly it's a little difficult working + cooking + working out + spending time with family + relaxing for a while. But I need to do this. So, we'll find a way to grind for next few months, until I get that gazzilion dollar job at a MAANGA baby! lol. Honestly it's not the money that attracts me there. It's just the kind of impact you can have and the kind of things you can learn while working at such a massive scale.
Oh also I applied to Microsoft yesterday. Let's see if we can get in this time. 🤞
man, I need to prepare moree. We got this!
