Posting Consistantly - May 2nd 2022

I decided to update my journal as I thought it would be a great way to type out the feelings I have been feeling the past few days and so forth on. I will start off with mainly family as Mom decided for us to have a road trip on vacation to Merced and San Francisco. To not only see the places but to also meet my cousins and my aunt and uncle. It's been 10 to 11 years since I met them and I think mainly why we couldn't is mainly due to my dad and my aunt having a rift in their relationship, but that changed when they apologized and they decided to plan out to meet together, which will happen in next month, June 19. Not only that, they decided to come over on July as well to meet us again and to stay with us so that they could visit Disneyland potentially and sleepover at our apartment, which may be brutal for all of us since I have a storage room in my bedroom, lol. Nonetheless, I'm super excited and I hope that nothing goes wrong in the middle of the process. On Mom's side of the family, my grandmother has decided to be leaving to the Philippines on June 16th. I honestly was expecting that as they told me before that they would plan for her to move back during the summer and I'm not suprised at all. Finally, here's where I fucked up mostly and made myself feel like utter shit. I have been the past few months having PC issues to the point where my PC would shut off immediately and die down. This may be due to the motherboard not having enough PCI lines to support my 3070. Not only that, it was also to the point it needed replacing. As soon as I was changing to my old motherboard, updating the bios with swapping temporarily CPU's, I accidentally drop the Ryzen 7 2700 and broke off two pins which made me feel like utter crap as I was super clumsy. However though, blade and bluu have been telling me not to let my emotions control me and to buy a new one anyway as I had money to spend, which is what I did. I immediately got over my feelings of being utter crap and I thought it was the circle of life, where you fall down and you get up over and over again. While that was happening, I decided to store away the old motherboards in replacement of my new one as I want to try testing out if the motherboard was the issue. Hopefully if that's the case, then I wouldn't have to buy a new PSU. I did initially think it was something to do with the front panel connectors as I tried wiggling them back and forth but I kinda was a bit skeptical about it. So I decided to just say it wasn't. While my main PC was out of commission, I decided to take my laptop, my raspberry pi and my file server as a three monitor setup, basically using Barrier, an open-source KVM switch and VBAN, Voicemeeter over Network, which was pretty successful of sharing audio to my headphones. Overall, if you're reading this thinking about how clumsy I was, yes indeed I was feeling stupid and didn't think twice before hand. So word of advice, make sure you take absolute care of the CPU.

Invested in Star Wars? - November 28, 2022

Ever since my friend Nidoquake decided to gift me Disney+, it made a huge Star Wars fan and I am totally now a fan always. I may have bought several Star Wars things that I am very happy about. I bought so far a Darth Vader costume including the mask, the gloves, and the lightsaber, whom I went as for Halloween as part of a Halloween stream I did with Nidoquake and others. I also did buy LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga which was worth the price I paid for streaming the game as Darth Vader. I also did afterwards is buy a Darth Vader gaming chair from the UK which costed $500 which was what I wanted as a replacement for my gaming chair I had, which was originally going to be my grandfathers and costed my mother only $80 which sucked cuz the armrest kept breaking. I also did buy stormtrooper glasses, and Darth Vader glasses and Darth Vader hoodies and t-shirts which was worth it. I also did buy two wristbands, Darth Vader themed and R2D2 themed as part of a Black Friday Sale Event. Not...

Hello 2022.

This has been a few months since I have posted. I am now 3 days aways from my third driving lesson that I have taken and bought with Nik Driving School. The instructor named Ms. Ramesh was so kind that basically she was super patient with me and didn't yell at all. It was honestly super pleasing to learn how to drive, but at first I wanted to punch myself back then because my brain didn't want to accept it but then when the 2nd time came, it was easier as I talked to my father and remembering his words helped. On November, I got to meet my uncle from the Philippines for the first time in 10 years or longer. When he first met me, he gave me money as a gift for us not meeting in a long time. It was very unexpected but I did have fun celebrating parties with them and it was a great time. The reason why he visited was because he wanted to see my grandfather in the funeral. As far as the funeral went, it was so saddening and heartbreaking that I didn't know how much I would cry ...

Smallish Updates - August 13, 2022

So today I decided to make a small update to my journal since I thought it would be perfect to post one. First off, updates on work is that now I have more than one person who is asking for work and it is perfect since the more jobs I have, the more I am able to grow bigger as a graphic designer and able to make more money that way. As I got more opportunities to work on projects like posters and banners, it makes me feel more happier as it is fun coming up with ideas on layouts and also how to personally find my own unique individualistic style. Secondly, I would like to mention something that I forgot to mention before in May which was a big part of me but it's alright. Around the end of May, my step-uncle was having mental health issues and he was dealing with a ton of anxiety and panic attacks. As much as I know how much it feels and also how much my father feels that too, his health deteriorated much and much before he met with a psychiatrist. Unfortunately that he decided not...
