Yeesh, I feel like I over-ate today and I don't know why it got this bad. The day started when I accompanied my friends in the early morning. They had poor Internet connection and I made fun of them for it. I still asked them if they could go into a call and they said that they'd try. They did connect to a call and I could hear them fine. I then asked if we could watch a YT video and they agreed, and they could watch the video perfectly fine. I said that we had some videos left from WOWMAN and we watched those. They slept during the video and I was a bit interested in watching it, it was a video about Kane Pixels' The Backrooms. When they woke up, I asked them if they wanted to continue the video, but they said that they weren't interested in The Backrooms, much to my dismay. So we moved to watching more of Sapphire's videos on SNARLED. We had a straight marathon of just watching videos from her. Eventually, we watched 1 more video from Sapphire before we left the call.

I had a really long rest, I then timed in and got on top of the morning messages I had and my morning tasks as well. I had a lot to do in the morning. I even was late to my morning routine, and I had a lot of stuff to do on top of that. Still, I talked to my friends, and they sent me a video of Anna Akana. We then watched the last episode of the 3 Body Problem and we kind of felt sad/dismayed that the next season will be years away from now. Even someone said that it sucks that we got into a show this year, we should have gotten into this when it was the 2nd season of it. I recommended the books to us, but no one was interested. We watched a video from SNARLED and it quickly became 2:00 p.m., and I had some afternoon meetings.

I had a lot of afternoon meetings today, which honestly surprised me. They all lined up together, and I honestly felt overwhelmed because one meeting overextended. But, after clearing it up, everything was pretty okay. It was kind of weird that I had another meeting at the end, making it 3 consecutive meetings, but that was the case for today. I was super busy during that time and I had to step up in terms of DevOps to meet my daily challenges. Around the afternoon, I eventually played Overcooked 2 with my friends. We went through several rounds of Overcooked 2's DLC: Surf 'n' Turf. When we started playing, someone sang the lyric, "It started with a whisper" from Everybody Talks and it shocked me because that was the same song that's stuck in my head! I asked them where they heard that line and they said that they heard it from me, which just shocked me because I don't recall singing it that loudly. Anyway, my first few rounds were a fail because my brain was still somehow attached to work, we had to redo the first stage 3 times until I got the rhythm of the game again and we got the perfect 3 stars. We finished a few more rounds after that, including a 3-starred Kevin stage. We eventually got frustrated and stopped playing Overcooked.

They then asked me to stream something and we came across this movie titled Tarot (2024). We watched the trailer, which was pretty okay to me, and then we watched it online. We got through 2/3 of the movie, and we paused a lot at the end of our watching to check out aespa. It just happened that aespa had their first live performance of Armageddon today and we were waiting for their official live performance on MNET's YouTube channel, then we waited for the live encore performance on Twitter. The encore performance we saw was only 1 minute in length, but we were so impressed by it. After watching, we eventually had to leave the call to eat dinner and other things. I asked my sister what kind of dinner she wanted, and told me to get something that had vegetables in it. We settled on sinigang na bangus from Giligans and it was the most disappointing thing we've seen. There was barely any fish in the soup, which disappointed us a lot. Thankfully, I got an extra sisig wrap which was just a burrito that had sisig, and I ate it for dinner.

In the background, I was talking to Ane about a girl she was trying to push toward me. I told Ane that I have talked to a lot of girls, probably even thousands by now. I said that I do put myself out there, but it's just that the people I meet aren't really "my type," honestly. There's only 1 person I felt extremely comfortable to converse in English with, the same person that fully understands my humor, the person that I just "get with" for some reason. And that I'm never willing to settle for less. She encouraged me to still try, even if the girl isn't that fluent in English or isn't that interested in my works. I then showed Ane my journal entries about her and Nate and she thought it was adorable.

As I was eating my dinner, I got a call on Discord from from my friends. They said that we should finish watching Tarot (2024) and we got into a call. We start playing the movie and they say that the plot is lacking for them. I agree because the characters didn't really seem fleshed-out that much and it was predictable for me, and it wasn't that scary. But we also ordered food tonight, we both got burgers from Burger Beast, and we even ordered from the same physical store that resides between us. Of course, their order got to them first and I eventually had to get help with mine because I still couldn't walk. The film eventually ended and it still felt lacking. We didn't talk much about it after that and instead watched videos from SNARLED. We watched a few more videos until around 10:30, we disconnected from the call.
