Today was really nice because it was the day of our presentation for work. I had logged off earlier than my team and they told me that they'll be sending information to me so that I can easily deploy and finish up the app once I log on. Thankfully, everything got deployed without a hitch and I was able to get everything working and deployed. I even made a systemd config and Nginx working, just like what I used to do at Dice. It honestly brought back some memories. I had a light breakfast after doing my part and I called Mom while I was at Starbucks so I can tell her about Apple's Global Close Your Rings Day. We ended our call and I quickly got back to continue working. Throughout the entire afternoon, I was mainly busy and concerned with presenting our app and I would be the first presenter in our team. I rehearsed my lines and called with the team before we got our presentation ready. The other teams also were presenting and I envied them a bit because they all had such well-polished works and stuff. We eventually got our literal 15 minutes and I spoke a lot about our solution to the judges and the people in the meeting. The meeting ended after all teams were able to present and I rested easy. As a little mood booster, and since I've worked hard, I went to Coco Ichibanya again and I got that seafood platter as well as that pork cutlet + scrambled egg with Japanese curry. It was really nice and a great way to just unwind after days of putting my all. I also got llaollao later on in my shift. I'm glad that I also got praises from my team's leader and a higher-up at the company. They specifically liked how I carried myself through the presentation and I'm just honestly glad. I got home as usual and I had to do some laps on the treadmill after work, despite me being really tired. I just had to close all my rings for Global Close Your Rings Day. Thankfully, I was able to actually rest after that. I felt too full for dinner, though, and had some acid, but it was fine.
