Dear Diary,
Everything is just going dandy. I went to and fro my previous university to my new university for some documents. Some lazada shipments came in as well. I'm just waiting for my other ordered packages. I haven't touched my books for today, but I plan to tomorrow. I also haven't watched a single udemy video today. This day is supposed to be my "Not Today" day because I took care of some requirements. This day is basically about my real-life responsibilities instead of the responsibilities I give myself. I know what I'll do tomorrow, though. I have a schedule I try to follow.
Tomorrow, I'll wake up at exactly 5AM (I'm trying to set up my body clock so I don't have to wait through the awful traffic in Manila), take my morning pills, wash my face, and brush my teeth I'll thaw out the frozen food and while that's happening, I'll meditate. It keeps me focused throughout the day. Then, I'll cook breakfast and eat. For 30 minutes, I'll allow myself to use social media and check my emails, looking through the notifications and messages. After that, I'll continue reading the javascript book. Some time would pass until lunchtime. I eat my lunch that I cooked earlier with my breakfast while watching YouTube. There are free courses there if you look. Usually, I'd just watch only a portion of the video because I eat a small amount as well as eating relatively fast. But sometimes, I try to finish the video if it's only just several minutes left.
After eating lunch, I'll continue through the javascript book. 1PM comes around, and I'll stop. I watch some udemy videos for about two hours, including the hands-on practice of them. I watch mostly art-related courses, though. I want to learn how to make better art, and I say that I'm getting my money's worth. I think. I don't know, I'm pretty much a better artist than I was before, but I still have a long way to go.
3PM comes around and I'll stop with the course temporarily until the next day. I learned through a spiritual class that I need to satisfy my mind, my heart, and my body. So the next action would be pretty essential for the last one. I will exercise. I'll do some stretches, maybe some cardio. I don't do it for long, but I do it every day. I'm pretty fat so I tire easily. Yoga used to be fun when I was thin. Now, I can't go through a single beginner session without sweating bullets. It's crazy. I want to get back to that point where I can do yoga easily.
Where was I? Oh yeah...
After the regular crazy experience of realizing I can't do 3-minute handstands anymore and falling after TEN FUCKING SECONDS, I do art warm-ups. Basically either gesture drawing or drawing a 10-minute portrait of a stranger in the internet I found on Instagram. Then I do vocal warm-ups so I could feel like a glorious singer when I take my bath. Usually it's somewhere between 20 to 30 minutes of warming up my voice with vocal exercises. I sing a song or two, and then I take my bath. I wash my hair, my body, and then I just sit there and sing the songs playing during the duration of a measly... One hour. I sing terribly, though. But this is one of the things I do that makes me happy while being horrible at the activity. Living independently while your cousin is at his duty has its perks. No one can hear me nor judge how I sing.
7PM-ish comes around and I'll do my Kinnu sessions, write in my journals, check if I'm following my financial plans, update some parts of this website, then take my night pills, and finally sleep until 5AM the next day again.
I'm at my element when I go through my schedule to the letter. It keeps me happy and content. Like I'm living my dream life. Stability and predicatability are probably what I need for the rest of my life. I don't like surprises. I like consistency. I like knowing things ahead of time. But alas, life isn't exactly like that. I have to make a cushion for the unexpected. I have to be prepared for the worst.
Risk profile? Very Conservative lol
