It's Day 101 of quarantine.

Whenever I feel stressed or when I'm filled with so much anxiety, cleaning and organizing stuff helps me calm down. I often watch organization videos on YouTube to motivate me and help me start moving. But today, I chose to organize my Gmail accounts. I have multiple Gmail accounts for various reasons and like most accounts, it's filled with ads and unnecessary e-mails. So I decided to clean it up and only leave important e-mails in my inbox. I checked around 10,000+ e-mails and now I'm only left with less than 300 e-mails in all of my accounts. It was quite exhausting actually, but very fulfilling. And I think I will be organizing and cleaning the files I have in my phone next. 😆

Job Hunting

I'm now looking for an online job. I'm scheduled for two interviews this June; one is a potential employer from OnlineJobs.ph and the other one is a member of the Recruitment Team of an ESL company. I'd honestly like to work with the former but just in case I don't get accepted, I also applied for another job.

With the "new normal", internet-based jobs are now flourishing. There are more applicants than ever with very limited employers.

I hope everything goes well with my interviews. Life's been tough lately and I just want to work to make myself useful as Dad's out of work. 😔

Not Being Productive

4th of April, 2020

It has been three weeks since the Enhanced Community Quarantine was implemented. And I haven't been productive AT ALL. I find it really weird because I'm usually productive at times like these because I have all the time in the world but nope, I haven't felt even an ounce of productivity during these past three weeks and I really feel bad about it. 😭

[two-decades-onwards]

It ended up like any usual day. Nothing was different. 😔

Tomorrow will be different.

Blessed

26th of March, 2020

Alhamdulillah as our pantry and refrigerator is filled with food during this pandemic. May other people also not struggle having food on their table and may all of them be free from the virus. We are indeed favored and blessed. Alhamdulillah!

Academic Breakdown

11th of March, 2020

It's the first day of our midterm exams. We took our exams in Technology for Teaching and Learning I, Assessment of Learning I, and Calculus II – all of which I'm not confident that I'll pass. 😟

I was emotionally unwell these past few days plus I've been working a lot to take my mind off of things and whenever I arrive home, I don't have the will to study. I tried studying but I don't even think I remembered what I have studied during our exam.

I'm trying not to dwell on it too much because I know I still have the chance to do better during our finals. Hayyy. Can't wait for Friday.

Burst of Productivity

5th of March, 2020

My day started on a bad note. I woke up late because I did my assignment at 2am and I went back to sleep around 4am. I hurriedly took a shower and prepared my things and immediately went to school. Of course, I arrived late and everyone already submitted their assignment to our prof. When I opened my file case to submit mine, guess what? IT'S NOT IN MY FILE CASE! As I recall where I put it, I forgot that I took it out of my bag while I was stuffing things inside my bag. Hay.

But surprisingly, around 10am, I suddenly felt a burst of productivity. I was able to talk with my groupmates regarding our upcoming reports after our midterm exam. I managed to distribute the topics and remind them of the things that they need to accomplish. I was even able to come up with additional information for my report which also didn't happen because the college faculty had an emergency meeting.

Hopefully, I'll be able to cross some things out of my to-do list this weekend and study for our upcoming midterms. Cross fingers!

The Friday Squad! ✨

[two-decades-onwards]

First Slump of 2020

4th of March, 2020

I was so happy with my progress since 2020 started. I felt fulfilled mentally, emotionally, financially, and most especially, spiritually. I used was because if I made progress during the month ofJanuary, my progress was declining during the month of February. It's now March and I'm trying to move on from that slump and be better again. Things have been rough lately and it's really hard for me emotionally but I am doing my best to get back on track.

Yesterday, I was emotionally unwell. Everything took a toll on me so I decided to skip school and just rest at home. I felt better after a good long nap. I even managed to study for our subjects the following day. I need to pull myself together because next week, we'll be having our midterm exams and I'm quite nervous because I feel like I haven't been reviewing enough.

Today's Wednesday and the Friday Squad is planning an overnight this coming Friday. I have a lot of things to do but I decided to go with them to take my mind off of things and just have fun with my friends. I hope things will be better by next week, in shaa Allah.

Despite all of this, alhamdulillah still for my struggles and for Allah (SWT)'s endless provisions. 💖
