Today was just your usual good day. I woke up and got ready for work, I actually got to work earlier on time, so that was nice.

My workload today was fairly-easy and I spent the morning just catching up on emails and things to do for the day, as well as logging the stuff I did for the week. I skipped breakfast at home so I had breakfast at the Starbucks nearby and talked to someone while eating. They eventually had to leave for the day and for the weekend and I thought nothing about them being gone. It's funny because I kind of feel more secure with being by myself now and that I don't really need anyone else to be happy. I finished my breakfast and went back up to do some more work.

I had lunch out with my coworkers and they wanted to go somewhere far this time, which kind of put me to the test because I had a meeting at 1:30 p.m. We walked all the way to Greenbelt 3 and ate at Soban K-Town Grill. This is a looooonnngggg walk back and I could just feel the kind of sprint I'll have to do after this. We got seated and we were initially confused about the menu and I kept laughing at how absurd the menu options were and there were so many "ultra"s involved, but we didn't even know which meal offering had iced tea. It just seemed too funny in my head. My coworker also invited me out to buy some phones with them because they asked me which cheap phone to buy and I recommended an Infinix or a Techno phone. I then played Clash of Clans while we were waiting for the food to be served.

Eventually, we got the food and it was really nice. I was just eating while being mindful of the time because I had to run back. And then the waitress serves another plate, which I believed was mine, and that I had actually been eating the bowl of my coworker! It was supposed to be for them but I ate it instead and they've been waiting for their dish in forever. I found it funny but my coworker was fine with it. I just bought and paid for the 2 dishes and I ordered my original plate to go because I had to run soon. I paid and then got the fuck out of there because I had 10 minutes to run back to the office. And running back was such a pain! My stomach immediately felt unwell but I had to keep running and I already knew I was sweating hard as hell. I took a while to get to the office and the elevator was kinda weird, but I eventually arrived, albeit late by 2 minutes, to my meeting. I just gave updates and I continued through my usual set of daily tasks.

In the afternoon, I was all caught up in my tasks and I was essentially done for work. I accompanied my coworker in buying 2 phones for his wife's workers and we went to a phone store nearby to buy them. They got a Redmi 14C and it totally fit their budget, and I was just shocked that smartphones were that cheap now. We went to his car so he can put the phones in and then to Dairy Queen because I wanted another mint Blizzard again. We went back and I just finished up with my tasks at work. We were all preparing to leave by 6 p.m. and us 3 went out at the same time.

Today kind of feels weird because my stomach and mood turned bad in the late afternoon. But also because my seat was going to reassigned. I'd be placed a bit far from them which made me think that I won't have lunch out with them anymore, and it just made me feel bad. While I want to be left alone these days because I've been a bit hurt by my new relationships, I actually do cherish my "coworkers" even though they're from a different team. Part of what was in my mind was that I enjoyed my time with them, eating out, having lunch, joking around, and playing board games with them. It was bittersweet to know that I might be separated from them come next week.

When I got home, my body just felt so tired and in pain. I just couldn't do anything and rested for the entire evening. I wanted to update my mood calendar and even felt like writing a blog post, but I couldn't do either and just rested for the entire evening.
