Reality Shifting?

My day started with me joining my friends for late-night call and we talked about this weird new theme park from Daniel Padilla, J Castles. We laughed at how weird and kind of tacky it looked, with the entire design not having a corehent design. Like for example, the theme park is castle-themed but the mascot was some cartoon in a black jacket, with black shorts, and a black cap. They even joked that it looked like me. We watched a full tour of the place and it was surprisingly lame, but we had fun talking about it and dissing on it. At one point, I was surprised at how liminal it looked, and like it was a creepy form of liminal space. We then watched a few videos from Bedtime Stories and other things. It was a bit dicey since things quieted down a bit. It was pretty awkward, but I still had to get them chicken from Jollibee and that macaroni soup, while I got myself baconsilog and chicken skin from a local carinderia. It was eventually 4 a.m. and I disconnected by then.

I woke up later than usual and had a pretty big problem to fix in the morning. Thankfully, the solution was pretty simple and it literally involved 1 mouse click, and the funny part that it was out of my control. After that, my work tasks were simple. In my lunch break, I played Sons of the Forest with my friends and we explored a golfing site. But we then closed out of the game once lunch was up.

At some point in the afternoon, Loy messaged me out of the blue with a dilemma he was having. It was the craziest thing I've ever heard and I honestly couldn't believe it. I felt like giving him advice and he asked if I'm free for a call. After work, I gave some seemingly-solid advice to Loy about his situation in a call. I was surprised that he got himself into this, but part of me kind of wasn't shocked. I just gave him a small talk about it and ended our call there. Hopefully he does follow my advice. Since I had spare time, I decided to work on my Web Stories project in the background and added a home page linking to all of the Web Stories. I based it off of the basic Next.js 13 template and added my standard color pattern and some Material You styling into it.

The whole day, I had nothing to eat so I just went outside shortly after my call with Loy. I was supposed to just buy some usual Pinoy food from the carinderia but as I was walking out, I saw a few stalls that were just new. It was pretty surprising. I haven't been to these in a while and, while they're technically called night markets, Jaze and I used to call them mercatos. There were so many new food stores and I was happy that I got a sizable amount of money on me. I ordered 10 pieces of oyster from one of the stalls and it only cost me 120 Pesos. I also got bacon enoki mushroom skewers that they were selling, and both were honestly the best. I also was surprised to see a stall that sold Buldak and I immediately bought one. While I was waiting for my food, I suddenly saw my sister walking home and I surprised her by greeting her. She looked so shocked and the whole event was so surreal and fun. We ordered so many food after that, we got 4 shawarma wraps, we withdrew money so we can buy more food, we got lemonade together, and other things. It was so fun and it was honestly the funniest twist to my days yet. I essentially got all of the things I had wished for and more.

When I got home, I was asked by my friends to play Sons of the Forest with them and we had a fun time exploring the remaining golf park area and getting the rebreather. After that, we disconnected from the call but we still talked after that.
