It's Halloween. I don't celebrate Halloween. My dad thinks it's going to be a hassle too. So we don't really get excited about it. Truth is, I'm only thinking that it's just another Friday. I'm just itching to go home from work. It's a tiring day indeed. I'm super glad I made it out alive with my mind intact.

It's Thursday early morning and I had a chat with my grandma and grandpa -- from father side. They wanted to ask how I was doing. I wanted to ask them how they were doing too. We were on Skype until 4am. I just can't wait 'til I can go home and see them in person. It's about time.

I woke up at 3:30pm and I've made some calls at 4pm to find out who is going to eat with me. I got ready at 5pm, and it's time to treat my cousins for buffet. I always do this every year. Treat my cousins, treat my relatives and then treat the family. My birthday's like a 3-day event. It's cause I'm special. Yes, that means I'm a special child with special needs that requires special care unlike most people.

Anyway, there's traffic at Talbot and I don't know if the people I'm treating are already at the venue. Should I be surprised if they're already there. It's as if they hurried over there double time. I made it to Foody Goody Buffet at 5:30pm. I was so full. But I think we should eat out again this weekend.

We filmed afterwards for my Arcade Block and Nerd Block Classic this month. And then we watched some NASA videos online. I didn't know that my cousin K was interested with NASA stuff. I slept at 11:45pm.

Wednesday. What can I say? Today's nothing important. Work was fine until the last hour. Things got a bit muddy then. I got home afterwards. I found cupcakes from my girlfriend. I was wondering at first who they were from. And there's even a funny story behind it. Tomorrow will be a day-off and I'm supposed to treat the cousins. Why? Well, it's nothing important. Today's just my birthday.

You know what's funny, at first I thought I'd be photographing my brother and sister-in-law today for their Citizenship Oath-Taking. I was so bummed out having to wake up early. But then I read his message again, their oath isn't until next Tuesday. I just laughed at myself afterwards, because I even called my cousin M since he's supposed to be with me too. He made me realize that the oath is next week, so I doubted myself. Lo and behold, I was wrong. I went back to bed.

I opened the course website and tried to figure out this transportation model. I wanted to be introduced with the concept first, so making sense on it won't be as difficult in the classroom. My professor can be a bit technical and sometimes I get lost while he's solving on the blackboard.

I solved the transportation model problem. It's a lot of work solving one. But it's a powerful tool to figure out how many items will be shipped from plants to warehouses to stores based on supply and demand. Though it has its own assumption and limitations for it to work.

School was okay. I just noticed that it's getting colder in the evening. It's still far form winter, yo. I wonder how cold will be this fall. But it's awfully cold this early.

Why do they have to lab on Wednesdays and Fridays only? And they're evenings only too. There should be a lab on Thursday instead. I got home with a headache. I wanted to stay up, but I couldn't. I slept early.

Early Monday morning and I'm browsing eBay. I woke up from taking a nap. I ended up buying two items: an LED watch and a pair of yellow lens night glasses. I don't know why, but I really want to buy toys too. It's for my girlfriend's niece. She's 4. What toy should I get a four year old girl? I also found the tablets I'm bringing home as pasalubong. Tonight was quite productive at work and I'm glad my dad bought a little bit of Chinese food. I played a short session of Skyrim before going back to sleep. I'm glad I'm done the Monday hurdle.

Sunday morning. My ate C and I went to church. My mom, dad and sister went to our former church. It's my first time to experience splitting ways. I thought that I was late, but we were just on time. The message was brought to us by Doc about Ecclesiastes 12:1-2. Then it was Praise and Worship. Boy, if I hadn't shown up, it'll just be sis. J and I on the instruments. I saw bro. E in the congregation and I signaled for him to play the bass. So now, there's three of us on the instruments and three people singing. The praise and worship went well. The prayer for the family followed afterwards. We were done at 12:30pm.

The service is over and now, it's time to tell them what's happening. I gave the key back to bro. G and he asked me why I was returning the key to the church. I explained to them what was happening. He was just in disbelief. I talked to Pastor S about it next about my situation and he confessed that he wanted me to stay. However, he can't stop me from joining my family at our former church. It's not his decision. Sis. G said that I'm encouragement for being here. My presence helps-- especially to the youth. Pastor S said that he'll call our Head Pastor R who's currently in the Philippines.

I can't speak on my mom and dad's behalf. They hold the reasons why we have to go back to our former church. Like I said, we see signs that we shouldn't have left in the first place. The preaching after my sister's debut isn't the reason. It was a trigger. And that we were meant to return to our former church eventually with or without that preaching occurring in the first place. I've had this weird feeling afterwards.

Got home in the afternoon and I'm glad I learned about Aliexpress from ate C. I played Sims 4 while waiting for the rest of the folks who were still at church. I bet everyone there was surprised. Finally, my cousin and I played another round of Generals Zero Hour online at night. I'm pretty simple in spending my weekend, yea?

Labels: 365-project

Woke up at 1pm this Saturday. Someone called me that the youth went ahead to church this afternoon. I don't remember posting a practice today, because two of the three mentors aren't available today. But since they were already there and someone needs to supervise them, I quickly showered and changed to go there. I just wanted to see what they were doing and there should be an adult-- young adult on the premise.

I taught one of my mentees until proper practice started at 4pm. Again, one of my three mentees only showed up today. It was just me and sis. J on the instruments. She was on the keyboard and I was on the drums (as usual). We're really shorthanded. I went home around 6pm.

My cousin K and I played Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour online in the evening. I haven't told the Music Ministry my intention of joining my family yet in the old church yet. However, my mom already told my second pastor about it already. Sigh. My God, come what may.

Labels: 365-project

I haven't been able to check with the youth if they can practice tomorrow. I left a message to the two mentors on my way to work what might happen tomorrow, because I'm not sure what's a good time to start practice. I think my mom left a message to my Pastor today. I'm not sure what will happen on Sunday. The decision is we're going back to our old church, Winnipeg Foursquare Gospel Church. I'm currently attending and teaching at the Winnipeg Christian Family Ministry, due to everything that has happened until now, I think I should tell everyone what my intentions are. I just want to show them my courtesy and respect, because they deserve to know. However, I'm sure that I won't be leaving all of a sudden. The signs that are prompting us to move back are hard to ignore. I left the office around 9:31pm. I reached home at 10pm. There were a lot of people in downtown while I was going home. Where did all these people come from? Oh yeah, there's a Jets game. The swarm of Jets fans left the convention center. I'm not used to seeing a lot of people outside this time of the year.

Early Thursday morning. I decided to chat with my girlfriend while I was just chilling until 4am. It was fun. I played some contemporary music in the background while I was just hanging out, well both of us just wanted to see each other. She was at work, while I was working on my literature as well. She posted a Throwback Thursday picture of our high school life on Facebook. Just like a live bait, people immediately attracted liked the photos; even our high school friends living abroad. 4am, I went to sleep.

I got up at 1pm. I tried fixing my room and rearranging things. My cousin K dropped by and said he's checking out the solar eclipse later. I told him that I'd call him if ever. I finished rearranging my room at 5pm. My cousin called again and asked me if I was going. I said that he should go ahead instead. I was waiting for my dad since we're getting our haircut.

We left the salon after 6:45pm and I was wondering where we'll eat after. Buffet square closes at 9pm. The two of us had a lengthy chat after our second trip to the buffet. I figured I didn't want to leave yet, so we should talk about something. I wanted to ask him more about the issue at church, and other things like what we'll do when we go home in the Philippines. All I could say is that my dad had a lot of experience dealing with the oil company... like A LOT. It makes sense. He's been in the oil company business for more than 20 years as a terminal manager.

The two of us went home at 8:10pm. My sister came home past 9:30pm from her field trip. Yeah, I just didn't want to cook dinner, that's why I decided to eat out with dad. I just chilled out afterwards reading different mangas. The only thing that I didn't do is play a videogame. Gasp! There wasn't anymore time to play a lengthy game session. I didn't want to be left hanging, so I chose to hit the bed after exhausting my eyes from reading.

So I didn't change my schedule yesterday for election day.

I reached work somehow while feeling tired from the day's business. I don't know why. I'm used to going to school and going to work. I got all philosophical on my way to the office thinking that we shouldn't work for the sake of getting a rest. I got a random thing to share, I posted the card my girlfriend sent me and posted it on FB. It was really simple, but it made me happy. The thought left a big impact in my heart. I'm not exaggerating. I'm glad that I can still cherish something simple, because I'll lose my humility otherwise. My girlfriend asked me when we'll chat again, I just said soon. Anyway, just as I was going to turn off my laptop, my friend sent me a message that Civilization 5 is free on Steam today.

Tuesday. I woke up at 3pm and prepared to go to school. I reached school at 5:30pm for my evening period, Operations Management. I found out that the exam results were posted online just as my professor walked in. I'm telling you, I'm satisfied with what I have. I'm relieved at my current position too. I can't complain considering the classes I've missed. I noticed that two people didn't take the exam and they got zero. That's painful. I guess they'll be dropping the course, because the midterm is big, at 25% of the grade. The final exam is weighed at 50%, and it covers everything from start to finish. At 50%, I'm not sure if you can miss the midterm. I know you can mess things up and probably fail the midterm, but you can't get a zero on exams, man. Anyway, I'm good. We studied the solutions from the exam and I realized how messy my answers were. I spaced out when my professor said things will get even more difficult from here on. What? That exam only asked four questions and it took me the whole three hours to 'finish' it. Let's not panic.

Labels: 365-project

I don't know why I'm a bit teary eyed right now at 2:12am, maybe because my Pastor told me during the last minute about loving your Parents. With what I'm seeing right now in my life, living life with God's favour, money will come. Always... a bold declaration I should say, but I'm living life like a dream right now. Having God's favour, I have a lot of things to thank for, in other words. And so it's right to love my Parents.

But. Having my Parents come only once. The best time to show my love and affection than when I'm still with them. I shouldn't take this time for granted.

I've been keeping my drafts on my notebook and I'll get back to writing my 365 project on the computer once I get ample time. But it has been a long week last week, a midterm week and equally busy at work. I thought today was going to be super productive, but it slowed down during the last 2 hours. It was pretty difficult at 8pm. It was exhausting that I just wanted to go home.

When I got home, I immediately logged into my university account to check the midterm result. Sadly, the exam results haven't been posted yet. I'm glad that Monday's done.

Sunday morning. I've learned that there's hardly anyone who will man the instruments for the Praise and Worship today. Not good. Where are the people? I went to church not because I'm needed, but I needed to go to church. I'm not missing it now. I'm glad I learned three things today: Ed Lapiz's message about rest and my brother in Christ's message at church about God will always bless our obedience, and to love our Parents. After the service, we had a meeting for the Praise and Worship team at 12:30 until 1pm. I had to excuse myself afterwards because it's my godson's birthday today. I filled myself from my godson's 1st birthday celebration for lunch.

There was a lot of food. And a lot of picture taking. After getting filled, cousin K, uncle B, and I went to the studio at 4pm to try and write a script for VLOG 2. Sadly, nothing happened. My creative juice didn't flow. I'm thinking about canvassing for wigs next time. I went home with two of my cousins to chill out at home.

Saturday. It felt like my usual morning routine of going to work Saturdays, get up at 10am and then head to the office.

I'd say today was unreal. The last 3 hours were unreal and very exhausting. It felt like a punishing shift. During my break, my cousin sent me a text message telling me that they're at my cousin S's baby shower. He was asking where I was, and I told him I was at our break room. Then he told me about my brother wanting to take pictures of the city tonight, a night photo op. I went home at 5:45pm and I discovered that the night photo op was canceled.

When I got home, I just prepped up a bit and drove over to Starbucks. While we were at the strip mall, I remembered that it's my godson's birthday tomorrow. I better give him something. You know, I don't remember the last time I withdrew money from the bank. And then we drove to uncle P's house. We were to film and open the September Nerd Block and Lootcrate. Also, I wanted to relieve myself with a karaoke session. Karaoke helps with the stress release. Trust me. I got stressed from work.

After singing my heart out, my cousins K and M, and I, drove to the studio to edit some of our videos. We weren't able to edit much, because it was getting late. We decided to call it a day. My cousin M drove me home and he picked up our sound system for the birthday tomorrow.

Friday. I called it and I knew I'd be feeling super hesitant about going to work today. Even though it's payday and I've paid my credit card. I feel bummed out knowing my pay just escaped from me due from my credit card and other expenses. It's still two weeks away til my next pay day. I'm going to wait again? It feels like I didn't have any motivation to go to work at all. It didn't feel like payday at all. But I don't really care.

I felt like going home when I arrived in the office, but I chose to hang on. I went to work today, but my body felt like crap. It's actually a bad day at work. Maybe the reason why it feels like crap is because I need to go to work tomorrow. Everyone knows I hate going to work on a Saturday. I only work Saturdays under special circumstances. Anyway, I got home. I still can't sleep.

It's my dad's birthday today. I was planning on getting up early, but my drowsy body wouldn't let me. I had plans to go eat outside in the afternoon, and yet again, my mom is missing this celebration of eating outside. We decided to just take out and eat at home. I didn't have to pay for anything much. I'm surprised that my brother bought food instead. But what surprised me more is there was no fried rice!! Well, we had those chocolates from the Philippines and we decided to drive out for a fried rice take out. My sister's Cambodian friend also stayed with us for dinner. Today was just a simple day.

Labels: 365-project

Hey, tomorrow is my dad's birthday. Today was super productive at work. I got home looking for tomorrow's day-off. I'm not sure what to get for my dad. I have an idea though. But it means that I'm gonna have to get it later than his birthday, later this year coz' I'm still saving and stuff. My mom said to get him a jacket. I'll be able to make a choice after I pay off my credit card. I'm thinking a watch perhaps. But hey, my girlfriend sent chocolates for my dad. I was totally surprised who left a message on my cellphone, and the woman said I have a package from the Philippines. That's why in the office, around 6pm, I called home to see if my sister was home. Fortunately, she received the package of chocolates. Dad was still not home at that time.

Midterm week starts now. Sigh.

I laughed at myself realizing I should've started earlier. I was able to understand my notes in the end. I finished reviewing two hours before the start of my midterm. If I finished reviewing early, perhaps I could've finished my homework too. Moving on, while I was getting ready, I chanced upon Bill Winston on the TV and his preaching fueled me up. The troubling times are happening now, so it's time for the Joshuas to rise up! I put my reviewer down and headed to school for my midterm.

I got there around 5:30pm and there was this sheer anticipation of just wanting to get things over. I'm looking around and there were still people reading their notes. As much as I wanted to do it, I could not. Well, I didn't bring my reviewer with me. AND. I had this bad experience that when I read my notes on the bus before a business course exam, the only things that I remembered were the things that I read on the bus. And my mind went blank on the other things. I vowed not to practice that again.

Exam time.

The first hour went by fast. I had to skip question 2, because it looked ominous to me. There were only four questions in total, but a lot of mini-questions and a lot of problem solving. The fourth question was the easiest as it was an essay type or short answer type question. I've answered questions 1, 3 and 4. I looked at the clock and time was running out. I was wondering how can these four questions take so much time?! Finally, I decided to try question 2.

I got home around 9pm feeling relieved. Then I played a videogame. I slept afterwards.

Monday. It's Thanksgiving. 1AM early morning.

I asked mom to wake up dad so we can talk about what's happening and what happened the Sunday after my sister's debut. I wasn't at church two Sundays ago, because I chose to rest. I couldn't sleep and I think it's about time to know what had happened during that Sunday. My dad, from his point-of-view, felt that both him and my mom committed sin because of how the program had progressed. This is due from the Pastor's message during that particular Sunday. However, what had transpired only affirmed what my dad had been feeling ever since we left our former church. My dad said that there had been a lot of negative signs when we had left. It's too deep to put in words why we left. He explained that the message during that Sunday is not doctrine. Also, it's not the sole reason why we're now deciding to go back to our former church. My dad said it was the trigger to move back -- he revealed we would eventually return no matter what happens.

My dad perceived a lot of detrimental things that were happening in life. Signs were involved why we had to leave the Philippines and signs are also involved on this decision. Some of these signs involve my grandparents getting sick all of a sudden, things like our microwave, our drier and our big screen TV suddenly getting completely broken, thus having to toil more to pay for everything. It felt like a curse was riding on us in the background. My dad has more. But again, there's a reason for everything. I can say that the length of our stay there would be enough, because I was also able to teach and share my knowledge to the youth there. I mean, now we're making progress of having additions to the Music Ministry. Now, I'm getting a bit sad, because this means that I would eventually leave and miss my brethren again.

I lead in prayer. We just asked God to search us, asked God for forgiveness and wisdom in what we should do. If there's one thing that I learned this year, it's that I should involve God when making major decisions in life. I slept at 4am.

I woke up at 8am and had a videochat with my girlfriend until 9am. I told her that today's Thanksgiving. I swear it's my first time trying to fight away not to sleep, and we talked about a lot of whatever random things we can come up. I was still drowsy after she logged out, so I went back to sleep. I woke up at 2pm for brunch. I told myself that I'd study for tomorrow. Procrastination is over. I took a nap and woke up at 6pm and went to tita D's for the Thanksgiving. I wanted to introduce my girlfriend to everyone, but she wasn't online. The Thanksgiving was only a simple gathering. We got home and I decided to hit the hay early.

Sunday, my mom and dad rested while I went to church alone. I think there's an issue brewing, but I won't dwell on it. I forgot that it's Thanksgiving tomorrow. I think I can do my review after church. I just took a nap after church. And surprisingly enough, I couldn't write my reviewer just yet. I wanted to just unwind this Sunday. I thought I would get a lot of reviewing done and I thought that tonight was karaoke or turkey night. But my relatives moved the event for tomorrow. I just spent my time in front of the computer and also felt like the house was a mess.

Labels: 365-project

I woke up at 5am. Yes, we agreed to drive there at 5am. It's supposed to be early since we're going to capture the sunrise. But before we drove to Gimli, we had to say our prayers first. It's a 100km drive to Gimli and the highway is dark. It's my first time to be driving that dark. There are occasionally some houses along the way with their lights on. I couldn't help wonder how life would be living out there. It makes me curious thinking about this stuff. Take for example, when I watch Tour de France and you see villages along the way. How is life out there? We're driving in this barely lit highway and you see farms and a string of houses; and I go, how is it to live here? Is it simple? Is it dangerous? Or is it more of a hassle? Especially when winter? Do they stay outside of the city and out in nowhere?

When we reached our viewing spot, just beside the beach, I asked myself what we were doing again? It's 2C out and it's cold. COLD! IT'S COLD! WHY ARE WE OUT HERE?! Oh yeah. The sunrise. There is no one outside. But wait, there's more, just behind us, are a row of houses, a street. People live here. They live near the beach and it's obvious that they're still asleep at 6am in the Saturday morning. How is life out here? I wonder as well. When we were setting up, an ambulance slowed down, perhaps wondering what we were doing. I don't blame them. I was wondering at myself too. My brother had to drive to Robin's donuts so we can have a bit of breakfast and heat. So I was left with my cousin K and vlogged at what was happening. It's dark on the beach, there's no one else, and I'm looking for a washroom.

The sunrise was clocked around 7:15am and it was gorgeous. The moon was also there. My cousin K managed to take a vertical panorama of the sun and moon together. My brother went off to the pier while the three of us stayed put on the beach. The three of them, my cousin K, my sister and my sister-in-law, were cold, while I was just chilling watching the sunrise. Maybe I'm used to the cold. When it was all too bright already, we decided to look around some more around the town of Gimli; while I was off to look for a washroom. They told me to look for the public washroom in the hotel. And so I did. I asked the receptionist where I can find their washroom and she gladly pointed me the direction. I just didn't get her remark that she knows what a washroom is after I asked where their washroom is.

We drove back another 100km home. I'm hungry. But before we drove for lunch, they decided to do an 'unboxing' video, as I discovered that my sister received gifts from our relatives in Houston and Toronto. We drove to the Assiniboine park so we can shoot our video there. It's really quiet here on Saturday mornings. I hope I won't fall asleep later, because I have to go to church in the afternoon. So while we were there, they shoot a 4 minute video of my sister opening her presents and I was all too surprised when she got a $100 bill in the envelope. I guess I know now who's paying for the buffet later.

We left the park around 12pm and now we're hungry. I remember Let Her Go by Passenger was playing on the radio while we were deciding where to eat. I insisted that it has to be a buffet. We agreed to eat at a buffet. I still have to teach the youth this afternoon. The five of us talked about random things, but they were pointing their finger at me to talk about my love life. Really?... Anyway, I just shook my head at my brother said that if he pays for my share, that means I won't have my birthday gift from him. A buffet for a gift. Really?...

We got home around 1pm. I was so out of it. I'm so sleepy all of a sudden. I still have an hour left til I go to church. It was just during that moment when I learned about an issue from church. But more importantly, I went to church at 2pm and so we can put together a song for the youth to practice. We practiced until 5pm. I asked my cousin M to pick me up. Then we went to the studio to edit our dance video. At night, we drove to Tim's for a batch of Iced Cappuccino. And then I finally went home. It's ironic how I consumed an energy drink when I've finally gone home to sleep. It was indeed a full day. I persevere to have days like these. Tomorrow's Sunday anyway. I'm still anticipating for a rest day without thinking about anything. I guess after my midterms. OH RIGHT! MY MIDTERM! I HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED MY NOTES!

I received a package from Amazon Japan. It's those goody goody Animal Crossing mini figurines. I also got an invitation from my God-son's birthday this October 19. Just 10 days before mine. Oops. Anyway, work is super productive for the first 1 and a half hour period. Since it's Friday, you know I'm excited to come home immediately. I've got two reasons why I want to finish this early, but properly. Friday is my much anticipated break before the exam and the and after the debut. I need tomorrow so bad. Plus, we're off to catch the sunrise at Gimli beach.

I wasn't able to sleep properly. I'm thinking about the midterms next week. There are numbers running around my head. It's a business course, but it's purely mathematical and logic.

Worked some more today. It was productive at work tonight. Come when I got home, I had a chat with my girlfriend and she showed me what she was supposedly going to wear if she was in my sister's debut. El-oh-el.

Gonna work tomorrow. I'll need to make time reviewing in the weekends. But how?

Labels: 365-project

Wednesday.

I started structuring my reviewer today. I have to start early, because I've missed most of my classes since the start of term leading up to my sister's debut. But I have my book now. What I've learned yesterday is we were supposed to submit a case study. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to do it properly. So I decided to focus on the midterms instead. It's just one homework that I'll miss. And no more anymore.

Work is somewhat productive. But there wasn't anything interesting. Just another day there of earning some dollars. Went home at 10:21pm.

I started following 3 anime series. 2 of them mangas that I followed and a visual novel. Just sharing to ya'll, cause you might think that I'm no longer an otaku. Well, you're gravely mistaken.

I told my brother that I might be going with them to Gimli this Saturday to catch the sunrise. I'm not sure what made him interested to capture the sunrise. Maybe it's a 'thing' that you get when you buy a DSLR camera. I mean you buy a DSLR and suddenly you feel like a professional and start taking photos of everything. Just like me, we have a boom-mic attached on a DSLR and suddenly we started a Youtube channel like we're special. Maybe there IS something special about DSLRs.

I tried to read the teaching notes from Nexus, our university's web platform where we can access lecture notes and other stuff from our course. Since the debut is done, I can concentrate on full with my studies. But I couldn't concentrate on what I was reading. It didn't make sense at first, but when I tried re-reading it again, it only made a bit of sense. This was early in the morning.

When I woke up, I went to the office to change my work schedule. I was in a hurry. It's true that my work isn't far from my school. But it's 15 a minute walk. I'm not sure what time our bookstore closes, and it was already 4:45pm when I left the office. I'm thinking that our bookstore runs from 9am to 5pm. And it's a 15 minute walk. I hurried. It was like a movie sequence. A chase of a feeling.

Phew. I made it. I just grabbed the book. And I'm oh-so blessed that there's a used one was lying on the shelf. The last one! That means discount! And I need all the discount right now since I'm running on a tight budget saving for my trip next year! It felt like that book was God given. But it was still expensive, and just like that at least $100 was gone from me. Still. I went to my classroom next. To my surprise, my professor didn't show up today. I was laughing inside. My midterm is next week and my professor didn't show up today!

I went home afterwards and we chat about problems at work, well problems at her work. I told her that it's going to be alright. I'm praying for her everyday.

It's Monday early morning and my girlfriend and I had a video-chat. We were talking about my sister's debut that happened last Saturday. Everything is still fresh.

My Sims 4 Collector's Edition arrived today from Hungary! Since I'm a big Sims fan, I just couldn't stop myself from buying the collector's edition. It has the Steelseries Plumbob USB accessory that changes its light according to your Sim's mood in the game. And I also have the literature to help me in architecture and design my Sims as well. I'm ecstatic. I thought I'd be paying an import fee for it. This is my first time doing such a purchase! Since it arrived today, I cancelled other businesses to try out my purchase!

My brother came over today to transfer the photos from the debut. As expected, there's a lot of photos to transfer. Unfortunately, I can't post them here, because I might breach someone else's privacy.

It was totally stupid of me to get worried if I missed a shift today. I was supposed to make up a shift today, but it didn't show up on my schedule -- thus it said on my computer in the office that I'm not scheduled today. I'm sure everything will be okay.

1AM the debut was a success and we came home exhausted. We were reviewing the videos and the photos from the occasion on the big screen TV. We were just delighted that everything's done. The only thing that perhaps left a sour taste in my mouth is that I dropped my Nokia Lumia and the corner edge of my phone has a dent. Well, at least there's no crack on the screen. With the debut wrapped up, I can finally attend to my routine.

We slept at 3am. I woke up in the afternoon and I missed church today. At 1pm, we returned the sound system to uncle A and thanked him for his help. It would've been significantly difficult without his help. We filmed the Arcade Block of October today. We also opened the September Lootcrate, the September Arcade Block and my Tales of Xillia 1 & 2 Limited Edition. Then we went to Tita D's for dinner. We got back to the studio at 8pm so we can edit the videos.

When we were satisfied with what happened, we went home at 10pm. Tomorrow, I think we're going to look for wigs.

It's showtime. My adrenaline is running the moment I woke up at 10:30am. I called uncle A for the sound system and we picked it up at 1pm and dropped them off at Marigold. People were already arranging the decorations when we got there, but the two sections in the halls were still closed. The three of us, cousin K and M and I went back home afterwards. We're supposed to return at 3pm. There's hardly space in the venue and we're just going to be in the way if we stayed. There's still time. I told them to use this time to get ready. I have all my stuff packed and my clothes ready. But we ended up leaving at 3:45pm to set up the sound system. Despite that we're late, we finished our preparations on time. The program started at 7pm. I opened the program with the opening prayer. And from there on, it was just smooth sailing. I'm kind of fascinated that, indeed, everything was okay.

I called in sick Friday afternoon, because it's recommended to just rest and relax in preparation for tomorrow, the big day, debut, the point of the whole months of preparations, that event where I just want to get it over with and so I can go back to my normal life! It's tomorrow already. I'm not really nervous. I'm just stressed from the work. But I bet you my sister is nervous tonight.

I went to shop for a suit and tie and dress pants. I found myself spending $200 since my dad wanted to charge his purchase on my credit card. The reversal role is happening as we speak. I called my brother, because my dad would have to buy fruits basket (not the anime) for tomorrow. So I don't have a ride home. Fortunately enough, my brother was on his way to our house too. He was supposed to let me borrow his suit.

While waiting for him, I looked around the mall and I found my cousin and his girlfriend too. They were getting ready for tomorrow as well. My brother and I left the mall, but we had to stop over at McD's because my dad remarked how he was craving for burger before leaving me. We got home and my brother played Simcity 5 to relax in the evening.

Hey, it turns out that I couldn't sleep right away.

Thursday. Must finish the loose ends on my part. I've been told that I'm up for the opening prayer -- officially. I have to finish six things tonight. No time for blogging so I can relax on Friday. 1) Finish the shoutout. 2) Finish the speech. 3) Move the files to the laptop. 4) Remember the program and time events to heart 5) Remember my dance. 6) Finish the opening prayer.

Today's the first day of October! It's my month! I felt tired when I woke up. It's one of those days when it's hard to get up. Especially when there are gray clouds covering the sky. Not a blue colour on sight.

I listed down what I'm going to need to finish before Saturday. The debut is Saturday already! I still have to organize the songs for line dance, filler songs, dinner songs, assign my buddy what to do in the sound system, plan for my speech, and now write my opening prayer. I also have to time the event to sync with the songs, make backup plans for the sound system and Powerpoint Presentation, move the files to the laptop, create the video shoutout, memorize my part to our dance routine into heart. It's hard to concentrate in the office. Work was productive though. But when I got home, I didn't go to sleep yet.

I've assembled the shoutout, gathered line dance songs, and backed up the Powerpoint Presentation. Things progressing, I thought. I still have my stress rash on my face. I hope these disappear on Saturday.
