got the offer letter

 Almost a year and 3 months into making this happen... We did it!  Last year I promised myself I would do this, and I did it! Feels good. I sound like  a 3 year old.   I used to watch day in a life videos of SWE at big tech and I get to kinda live that now? I am not happy because of this job per-say. It's just I feel safe knowing that I don't have to worry about money now. Once I get my sign-in bonus I will be debt free and will start having positive bank balance in 4 years. I will need to move to Seattle soon. My job starts from November 14. I have found a few friends at amazon too. Like 2, and I have a 2 more friends that I know there. It should be good. I will also get a golden retriever once I get there. Amazon has open dog policy, meaning I can take my friend there. Also, I need to think of names for the dog now. Whenever I think of names, mochi comes to my mind. I miss mochi. She is my friend's dog.  I am also excited to work with distributed computin...

Sub-urban life

If you know me, you know that I am a Tesla fanboy.. andddd I drove Tesla for the first time today. I need to renew my license so I didn’t take it to the main road but just drove it around the block. It felt a little different. You don’t really need to use brakes that often, if you stop accelerating, it’s like hitting a break because it’ll come to stop. Also, just the gears are also a little different. Turning, left and right also is so easy. I can just look at the dashboard. So, that’s one step closer to checking off my bucket list of owing a Tesla. We are getting there guys. In a year or two I will own one too!!! Also, I am typing from my iPad right now. Honestly, the onscreen keyboard is good. I am typing like I would on my keyboard and the autocorrect and the keyboard just works well.  Anyways, it’s been about a week now that I have been in Ohio. Loved the suburban living here. My brother has a small kid and a 5 year old. I just read her a bedtime story and I couldn’t be more ha...

Few promises

Ok, so I’m in Ohio now.  I’ve been hanging out with a lot of married people these days. You know you’ve started to become an adult when the parties end at 8:00 because the kids have school tomorrow morning and you have work to wake up to.  Usually, we used to start partying at 8, and here we end partying at 8:00.  I’ve noticed that a lot of married couple are tired of each other?! Like why are they not at the party with each other. Usually there’s a gang of ladies and then of guys each of them wishing that they had more time to themselves and complain about each other. They call you lucky that you don’t have kids and stuff like that yk.  So, here’s a quick promises to myself. If I get married. Honestly, I don’t think I will be in a relationship ever again for a long time. But let’s say magically.. I find miss perfect and let’s say I get married.  1. I will never ever ever ever not make time for my significant other.  2. There won’t be a single day I forget ...
