Today started with me watching Wall to Wall (2025) on Netflix. It was a good story, but it made me feel a bit more paranoid, for some reason. Eventually, we moved to watching Lucy (2014) and, even though I've already watched this before, it was kind of boring this time. After that, I tried to get as much sleep as I could, but I couldn't sleep much considering it's my first night and the bed is kind of... filled. Not to mention I was still a bit paranoid from last night about my stuff being stolen. But I was eventually able to get some sleep and I eventually woke up just in time for breakfast. I had breakfast with my guest and I had a pleasant talk with them, I mostly asked what they did and they said that they dealt in selling cars and stuff. The breakfast buffet was also nice, I enjoyed the bacon the most. After that, my guest eventually left and I had the room all to myself once again. I played with someone in Sky for a bit before they left me to do other stuff.

I didn't really have anything planned for today but I read online that there was medication available for post-exposure to HIV. I thought about it since it might cost me a bit of money, but then I thought about it and figured that it was worth taking it rather than me worrying about it in the future. I went back to that clinic again and the ride to Makati was fairly quick. Ayala Avenue was fairly empty, too, which was a pleasant surprise considering that it's usually packed. Since today is a holiday, I figured that there weren't that much people around here. I eventually got to the clinic and had to get tested for Hepatitis B and C first before taking the PEP medicine, and thankfully both turned out negative. I was prescribed meds to take over the course of 30 days or so and then I was off again. I thought that I could hang out at the Starbucks nearby, like last time, but it was closed so I went to another Starbucks at Ayala North Exchange. I took a picture of a cute cat sleeping and I didn't disturb it further as I kept walking. It was honestly surprising to see almost no one around in the middle of the day. I eventually got there and I tried the new grape drink and it was honestly kind of disgusting. Totally not for me. I had another coffee drink and I took some medicine with it.

I tried working here since I brought my MacBook with me, but I ultimately couldn't since I didn't feel comfortable and I wanted to go back to my room to make the most out of my staycation. I decided to just book a ride back and eventually got a ride. It didn't take long since there was barely any traffic. I planned to write and do other things, but I essentially ended up sleeping and doing a few random things.

In the evening, I played R.E.P.O. with someone and Luan for a while, then we moved to playing Peak. Someone and Luan were impressively able to make it out of the kiln today, which was a surprise because they haven't been out together without me. We played Phasmophobia afterward and eventually stopped playing. I got into a call with someone after that and I talked about buying tickets for upcoming musicals so we could watch together. The night continued from there.
