  1. Sad day. I wanted to get an AC installed. I have a 2nd hand split type that my cousin gave me when she replaced hers. I had it checked today to see if i can get it repaired and installed. The AC guy said i should buy a new one instead. Canvassed how much a brand new one costs, i need around 60k for unit and installation costs.  That's a huge chunk off my savings. Hays.

  2. Looking for Netflix shows to watch but I cant seem to find anything Im interested in anymore. I saw shadow and bone recently because i read an article that it is netflix's game of thrones with all the world building etc. It just didnt grip me the way i expected it would. Is this based on a book? If so, it might be better to read the book. It seems interesting enough, but there is something lacking in both the cast and storytelling. I didnt root for the main characters nor did i hate the villains. The most excitement I got from the show was when I saw the actress who played Madam Hooch(harry potter) and Lady Cassandra(Doctor Who) on screen. She's the mother of the villain. It feels like it is trying to be like Avatar with the different types of "Grisha"... But made just a little better than the live action avatar...
  3. I need a vacation... A real one.

      Gosh, Viola ☹️If you’re in Manila - I doubt you’d leave without some paperwork. There are a couple of series on Netflix. Or just a new boyfriend who lives far far away and wants to see you someday. The serious kind, not the flaky kind.

      Hahaha. I am in Manila. hence, i cant move around. Stuck at home. The only time I can go out is to withdraw cash or do the groceries. 

      A non-flaky bf.. would you believe that my last relationship was ~10yrs ago.

      Also, that guy wasnt a bf.  We are not even romantic. He was just good for me, mentally. He somehow became a source of comfort, until he decided to spend some time on his own.

      Don't you wish we can all just go out without fear of getting infected. Hays. 

      Ive given up on Netflix. Im back to reading books.

      Good to hear, you’re into reading, it’s rare for people to leave their phones off their faces at least for at least one day!
      Your last relationship must be your greatest love? I hope you’ll meet your next great one maybe this year or next.

      I assume that guy you’re quite fond of will come back. Maybe he has his reasons. Maybe he has to work out on something important. 

      He’ll come back, you’ll see.

      I can only wish for all of us to not wear masks anymore! It’s funny that we have to wear masks even after our vaccinations. 

       

  4. I want to go out!!!! It is scorching hot. I want to walk around in an airconditioned mall.. read a book while drinking coffee. I want to eat out, go on a pokemon go raid, catch some dark wizards. But im stuck at home, doing some general cleaning. Should i paint the walls?

      Im planning on painting my home

      My bad, the only part of the sentence that registered with my sleep & oxygen deprived brain was the cabinet hence the "matte black everything" remark.

      Actually i dont like the white and gray scheme.. i also dont like the black scheme... I need to have a calm and relaxing space

  5. Finally fell asleep only to wake up from  a nightmare.

    I really wish someone is around

  6. It was a good day overall.. and I wanted to share my excitement with someone.. then i realized that person is not around. I dont know if he is coming back. I dont even know how he is doing. That made me sad.
  7. Getting cross-eyed and visions begin to blur. How many nested if-else have I done so far. I love coding for 5 hours straight. i need coffee. Or someone to talk to 

     

     

     

     

    I wish you would call.

  8. Thank you for sharing. We all have different ways of dealing with depression. This pandemic has tested a lot of us. We were forced to face problems that we avoided pre-pandemic. I hope, you and me and everybody else going through the similar struggles get through this in one piece. If you need an outlet, post here. Share your thoughts. Take care.
  9. I havent been in a good head space for more than a week now. There are days, you just cry. You try to pick yourself up but you just cant do it. I tried to cheer myself by watching comedies and I still cried. I just want to be happy. Smile a real smile. Laugh my heart out. Wth each day of this pandemic, it is getting harder and harder for me.. and there are others like me.. maybe in even worse state of mind.
  10. I forgot to eat last night so im eating breakfast today...
  11. I paint when i want to cry... Been painting the whole day.
  12. Waiting for something that might not come isn't doing me any good. I should stop now. 

  13. Woke up with a bad back, filed for sick leave.. now on my 3rd meeting of the day. The lines separating work and personal have truly disappeared. 

  14. No idea how to do cryptocurrency. Like Nightwriter, my money is on mutual funds, bonds and a bit of stocks. However, I would like to learn how to invest in cryptocurrency. A correlation study sounds nice. Better if we can create a predictive analysis. 🙂 I really need to sleep more.
  15. Missing someone beyond my reach. It just shows how a couple of weeks can put a dent on one's life. It wont be long, I'll get back to my normal routine of being alone. I never should have entertained the idea of someone else being there for me. I never should have depended on someone else for comfort I'll be ok. I'll be ok. Or maybe I won't. _------_------------- To a certain someone, Just be ok. Even if I want to reach out, I can't. So just be ok.
  16. Maybe i should try going vegan.. i prefer soy milk over regular milk. What's the protein content of almond milk?
  17. As someone highly dependent on easy to prepare food, is rolled oats better than the instant oatmeal? It is also perfect for making overnight oats.
  18. I am in love with tofu. I could eat tofu everyday. Im not vegetarian or vegan though.
  19. Why do i always bite more than i can chew?!? This was supposed to be a medium complexity project. I was only going to code, now i have to do data infrastructure? Im clueless.

  20. So you put up a great big sign that says, "bawal magtinda dito", and the vendors swarmed. The marketplace is buzzing and out of control. Without proper implementation of rules and ordinances, the marketplace will grow and the consumers will flock. 

    Hays. I'll just sleep this off.

      Hi Viola, there are times when things don't go as planned, and sometimes plans run wilder than expected. As admin of this site I am happy that you are here, sharing your ideas, opinions and feelings. I feel so blessed.

      Stars! is for the exceptional members of Tonight! 

      Sometimes, special people do not mix. But there is always hope, and there's also tolerance. And people change.

      I see you everyday here on Stars! You make my heart skip a beat. I hold my breath every time I see your "reported content". Sana hindi sya magsawa kaka report sa akin.

      I see your bayanihan spirit burning! Ako na magpapasalamat sa iyo (at sa inyo ng brother mo) maraming salamat sa sinimulan nyo na community pantry.

      I read your posts everyday Viola. You're a good person. A valued member or Stars! 

  21. You and I are not romantically linked.. but we do share a common bond. I cannot reach you now. But i do hope you find what you are looking for. I do hope you emerge out of this unscathed. And if by off-chance you think of me, Im drowning but I'm still fighting. I'll be ok. So strive to be ok.
  22. Its been a tough few weeks. It feels like im walking on eggshells. Im afraid to move in fear of breaking something and have fingers pointed at me.
  23. An update on the community pantry.. 1) we launched ours last saturday, coordinated with the church and in less than an hour, the pantry is empty. 2) as me and my cousins are all working, we cannot sustain manning the pantry, so we directed all donations to our church and they are the ones handling it. We still get an overwhelming amount of donations on a daily basis but those are all directed to the church now. 3) 3 other independent pantries opened up in our community. These are organized by individuals unlike ours where the church oversees our donations. 4) our barangay captain wants all organizers to coordinate with them for supposedly implementing health protocols. I answered them how they can implement it when their own tanods and kagawads no longer wear face masks and face shields. Many members of the community also reminded our kapitan hownhe gathered our neighbors to raffle off "bikes" for his youtube channels before starting to give out the 4k ayuda. 5) organizers informed him that they dont want to mix charity with politics. Here are some photos of our pantry last saturday. The church helped us maintain social distancing, they did crowd control and most importantly, they kept people out of the sun by providing them shade.
