Raining In Manila

I finally caught up with my mood calendar entries today and I was so productive the whole day.

But, as usual, I started my day accompanying someone in VHH. The only change this time is that they're in Davao and they're at their neighbor's house. They couldn't talk much, but we still talked a fair bit on various things. I was playing SSX Tricky in the background as usual and things were pretty chill. Eventually, they invited me to play Sky with them. Since I haven't done anything on their account like the daily quests, SkyFest tickets, seasonal candles, and such I accompanied them in completing all of those usual things. Then she logged out of Sky because she had to go back to her work in BFT. I kept playing Sky and bumped into one of my friends there. Apparently they were from Poland and they flew me around. In the background, someone and I were watching a scary video from blameitonjorge. We didn't last long after that and around 3 a.m., we disconnected from the call.

Eventually my morning began as usual. I did my morning tasks, did my morning routine, watched the daily Philip DeFranco show to catch up with the news, and it was mostly easy-going for me. Someone talked to me in the morning but we didn't really get into VHH. Throughout the day, I was just focused on working and completing my tasks. It started to really rain hard today and Lola Amour's song "Raining In Manila" kept replaying in my head. The air was cold as well, I didn't even need to turn the AC on today. Once my lunch started, I focused solely on completing the mood calendar entries I had in my backlog and publishing all of them. In my free time, I was finally able to get them deployed and 29-day streak of not updating my mood calendar. It was really hard to backtrack through the many days, and I honestly thought most of those days were lost to time, but thankfully I wwas able to recover and publish what I could. I even had enough free time to go and update my other websites as well, including issuing a fix to an open source project that I use. It was even merged quickly! I felt like I was super productive today and was on a hot streak.

The afternoon kept the same pace with me doing a lot when I got back to work and I accomplished all of my tasks for today. When I timed out, I polished my other websites and issued fixes for them as well. Things were looking pretty good. Someone would be out today because they had to leave at 4 p.m. and they didn't really reply much at the end of the day. To relax myself, I played Genshin for a bit and got through acts 1 and 2 of the Sumeru quests. I also got dinner for myself as a way of celebrating and it was really good bulalo and lugaw, both were perfect for the extremely rainy weather. Also, since I was frustrated with my RAM situation, I decided to increase the voltage for it. My sister also came home earlier than expected today, which was a surprise. But I mostly just spend the majority of the evening to myself.

It's been raining in Manila, hindi ka ba nilalamig?And it’s been raining in Manila, hindi ka ba nilalamig?But, if it's raining in Manila, hindi kita maririnig (Nakahiga, mag-isang nanginginig)So, I'll be waiting in Manila kahit ’di ka na babalik
