After neglecting Li’l Blue 1️⃣6️⃣ 🔵🚲 for so long, I’ve decided I can be brave and ride it to one* place with minimal inclines. 🤫 So it gotta be road-worthy. It’s not just for riding around my little neighborhood anymore. Finally had the chain replaced. Also had it professionally washed… for the very first time since I bought it. 😄!...

Trying to organize the contents of 2 external hard drives and the encrypted volumes on each drive. 😶 Trying to clear some space on the internal drive too. 😖 Can’t do minimalism on this. Not for digital housekeeping. Need to keep copies and have backup. And some things are better staying hidden and encrypted. Aaaaand I’m still using TrueCrypt. 🙃...

Another job application sent. This one required a video introduction. The instruction was: a 30-second introduction about you as a person (not about work) and how your home setup meets system requirements for the job. Weird. 30 seconds to talk about myself and rattle the specs of my computer?? Then I realized. Oh… the text saying “30-second intro of you...

Just had a lunch of some greasy Fried Boneless Bangus 🐟 or fried deboned milkfish — my favorite fish dish — and plain rice 🍚. Gotta have rice. 👌 Felt extra greasy down my throat so I thought I’d wash it down with coffee. ☕ Yup. It’s working. 👍

It’s Day 46 of our Enhanced Community Quarantine — that’s Day 48 if you start counting from the start of the original Community Quarantine — but it’s not totally wasted time. I thank God I got something to do right now — video editing for our church. I get to volunteer pretty much every other week of this COVID-19 quarantine...

Learning keyboard shortcuts for video editing

I don’t use shortcuts enough.I really should if I want to edit faster. ☝ I used to have the labels on my notebook computer’s keyboard.They kept coming off and it was looking rather...

Enhanced Community Quarantine is extended

Enhanced Community Quarantine 😷 for Metro Manila — the Philippines’ National Capital Region (NCR) — has been extended another 2 weeks, till 15 May 2020. That’d be a total of 2 months of community quarantine. I don’t mind. We need it. ☝ Honestly, I’m pleased with how our government has been handling this pandemic situation. 👍🏻 It’s hard for some...

YouTube Comment for “Designated Errand Girl”

About 18 hours ago I uploaded a silly documentary on a little aspect of quarantine life in the Philippines, for a mini just-for-fun film festival. Soon after, I got a YouTube comment for Designated Errand Girl. I’m not exaggerating now… Within MINUTES, this comment came in from a certain “Todd” saying: “awesome content it was really good, we should collab...

It’s not my style to ask for refunds or to return or exchange items. But yesterday I actually nagged somebody into giving me back my deposit 😖 for a workshop that got postponed… indefinitely. I understand the usual No Refund terms. But due to this COVID-19 extended quarantine, due to being unemployed for too long, due to not being eligible...

So what’s going on… I just moved from mastodon.cloud to megadon.net. I’m currently hoping to get a work-from-home job. 🖥🖱 That’d be ideal. I’m a hopeless night owl / wolf chronotype. 😎 In a previous life I was a seafarer who did photography. Then my department went poof. Suddenly I had too much free time. So I started learning about...
