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

Must learn… keyboard shortcuts. Suddenly had an urge to label the keys on my el cheapo mini USB keyboard with DaVinci Resolve video editing keyboard shortcuts. Because. 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...

I’ve created a new Mastodon account on megadon.net 🔹 @evelynyap 🔹 in case mastodon.cloud goes poof. I’ve been with mastodon.cloud since August 2018 and I picked it thinking it’d be one of the more stable instances, but… for the past couple of years it’s just been weird. The Admin there was never responsive — even after the instance changed owners....

Charging my decade-old solar-rechargeable Casio Baby G watch ⌚ with a little USB-powered LED light. It hasn’t been in the sun for a while. Me neither. 😶 The battery level was below “L” (low) such that the display was blank except for the “BATT” low battery indicator. After a few hours of charging with the LED light, the battery level...
