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 computing and networking stuff. I've never really done that. Networking class was one of the classes that I did really bad at lol. I need to read the book again and just get up to date with those stuff. It's very interesting. I was watching a course on Udemy about networking and I think I will now start reading on it after work everyday. We are going full in, trying to learn everything about networking there is. 

With that being said, a friend of mine will be coming to Chicago tomorrow , we are planning to travel all around Chicago for 3 days and then I will return back to Florida. And then a week after that, we'll be traveling to California. It should be fun. 

Anyways, that is it, its 1:23 am here. Gotta go sleep now. I feel very grateful and blessed and happy. I had also promised myself once I make it to big tech, I will give back. So, still thinking about the ways I can do that. First, let's see and work there for few years and then will study and decide to do something grand. Meanwhile, I will continue to donate here and there. Either my time or money, or both.

Moving on

There is a common misconception that you need to move on once you break up. But, I am here to say "No you don't". You don't need to move on. It's not mandatory. It may be bad for your mental health, you may spend hours staring at the ceiling thinking about them, your fingers may get tired stalking them over the internet, who knows you may sneak into their room once or twice to remind yourself of how they used to smell. People go to the extent of kidnapping other's wife and we all know what caused the death of Rawana ( Ramayana ) or the  Trojan war . At least, you will not be responsible for anything like that. What you have ... is a healthy obsession. The only person who'll get hurt out of this is YOU. If you ask me, I decided to move on. I know it's hard for me to find someone like her after I have been emotionally attached to her for so long. How can things end so quickly? Where did all the dreams we had suddenly disappear? What about all t...

Love these keyboards

The main objective of this post is to check these new keyboards from Lofree that i got. Love them! It sounds very creamy, that I want to just yk savor the sound.  The backspace key in particular sounds very nice and also its fun to type.  These days have been pretty chill, changed my decision again I might very well need to move to Canada. Not my first choice but better than staying here and studing + working at the same time. Mostly because I want to travel back home as well. And yk for the aspect of certainity in life as well. If I go to Canada at least I'll have my PR process started there and by the time I come back to US I will have something to fall back on.  Still have one more shot so hope I get that. I don't really ask god that much very few things, last year I wasn't that serious but when things are starting to get real you realize the importance of things. Already starting to miss Seattle a little. I am very very hopeful and feel like I will get it but yk have ...

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 ...
