My Official Receipts

So yeah. The Performance Evaluation is coming up and I'm on an FSCO training and we have not done any Key Tasks for this month.

The heck.

...that which I shall now call Spear-ry.

Okay, so there has been some white scabbing over the cut and we'll leave it for a couple more days before planting in soil. (Still looking for the perfect pot!!)

With the help of my friend Google Gemini, I'm now growing Spear Plants (Sanseviera cylindrica), which I happen to pass by our office last week. Since I know how they look, how easy it is to propagate them, and how beautiful they are... and the pot left there by someone is now in public domain, I got myself 3 long cuttings.

Here they are at Day 1. Now I will just wait for a week until they form calluses. That is a crucial step. Yes, I cut them into 3-inch cuttings so now we have 9.

Another crucial step is to know which side is up for a spear shall never grow roots on the tip, and vice versa. The V-cut or slant cut on the roots will help us know which is which and will add more surface area for roots to grow.

Don't worry if the tips have dried for this mother plant will no longer grow tips, instead will be a food for its "pups", which will grow along an underground stem.

I've had my fair share of root rots in the past with many succulents so this time, I will definitely remember what my friend Gemini told me to keep in mind: Neglect is the key!

I shall be giving them away to my mother-in-law, low maintenance friends, and the guard at our office building.

I'm down to the last four chapters of Winter Moon and it's great.

With my piling up stress and bills and whatnot... I ended up searching every accessible birds and animal in Genshin Impact. LOL. No, I was not able to complete them before the anxiety of commuting home hit me.

And I'm 34. Ugh.

...or my name.

I came across the Japanese movie in Netflix and the article about it by Alokananda Sen in DMT that made me see myself in the last 15 years.

I quote:

"

humans are aliens from different planets and can only connect with those from their own planet, which is why they cannot understand others

In the last few minutes of the film, this phrase becomes extremely relevant because Chihiro could feel herself disconnecting and rather observing the happiness that others felt with the ones they found and could click with while she wondered what true happiness felt like. She could feel herself pondering about how that would feel, which affected her loneliness and made her leave because she did not want to take away the happiness others felt. It also meant that the time she shared with the people around her had come to an end, as she found herself a bystander and not an active participant in their lives anymore

"

Wow. I mean my limit is 5 years. Like 4 in high school, 4 in college, 5 in my first job, 5 in my second job, now going 2 in my 3rd.

Not to mention the organizations I affiliated with during these times... Hobby group, religious, political, volunteering, company ad hoc committees.

And the people whose lives I know I've touched and those whose loves touched me.

They seem so far and out of reach even in Facebook.

No need for anyone else to know.

For deleting. For lying. For making you feel that way.

No, I was aware and I let it that way. Now, we both feel miserable but I have to accept it.

So I met him during the badminton tournament and my he looked just like a kid brother LOL. But I must admit later on, I am crushing on him.

Don’t get me wrong, I am committed and loyal.

It’s a happy crush at the workplace. He is younger and recently heartbroken. Let’s use some magic spells HAHA. I meant, some “ate” thing.
