Refilling your cup
When my son was hospitalized, I was on my 4-week AFK at that time. In Automattic, we don’t have dedicated day offs, but we can always ask for day-offs/AFK (Away From Keyboard) whenever we need it. The company asked for at least 25 days of AFK per year, so you can ask for day offs…

‘Coffee Cup’ – Anthony Lazaro
I’ve been pretty busy lately, along with adapting with some new routines on the new house and stuffs. I have so many things to write, but for now, I hope this will suffice. This song helps me get by as I waddle through all the changes. It’s a long weekend here in Malaysia for Diwali/Deepavali.…

Hospital stay
Hey! Things have been pretty hectic for the past 2-3 weeks, and for most parts, it feels like I’m grasping at straws. Mid-September, my son complained tummy/abdominal pain. At first, we thought it’s a really mild gastric acid. However, it went really bad and we had to bring him to ER. The ER doctor, fortunately,…

Puzzle games: YOLO? and Find Out — Hidden Objects
Recently, I keep seeing game ads in-between stories whenever I’m checking my friends’ IG Stories. Some of them are pretty familiar to me; such as ‘Homescapes’ (I’m currently playing it.) Another one that I keep seeing it on many social media accounts is ‘Legend of The Phoenix’ (some kind of role-play game based on historical…

Trying out some eco-friendly products
Recently, I’ve been having this issue with my body odor and hair loss — my apologies if this is TMI ? I’m REALLY self-conscious about my body odor, and that’s the reason why you might see me slightly hunched whenever I’m in the crowd (which resulted with bad posture.) I tried some brands, and it…

Comfort Food
One day, one of my good friends texted me. “Hey, I’m alone with my daughter at home and she has been feeling awful for the past two days due to cold. Do you have some kind of dish that you usually whipped out for your kids when they are feeling unwell? I ran out of…

Sky-watching
I just realized that I blogged more than journaling on August. Is that a good sign or…? Anyway! Yeah, a bit late but I just checked my bullet journal book and I found I left a really good chunk of void for August 2020. I’m pretty glad this is bullet journal, though, so I can…

Accent
Youtube channel ‘Milannonna’ is one of my favorite Youtubers; I first knew about Milannonna when I saw her Youtube video on morning routine — and I posted a little bit about it here — and I’ve been hooked ever since. From what I see, it seems like she moved back to South Korea from Italy…

Budgeting v. Spending Tracker
This is more a question rather than a financial tip. I actually wanted to ask you all here, if you have any tips or budgeting/spending format that you have been following — and if yes, please do share! Even if you don’t have any, feel free to let me know why. Maybe, unconsciously, you have…
