March 2026

There is a difference between those that chat about other people's wealth and those who attempt to practice it.We have to take it in strides. Same goes for health. You gotta start somewhere, some how and make it part of your daily life. And sport is not just for the rich as much as dad says, and fitness is beyond looking good, even though Sis do not believe that. Mobility and balance is key to independent living. Knowledge helps us help our bodies. I would never discount that fact.

 

Work 

Changing priorities. Changing room layout coming soon.

 

PoGo

A friend explained to me what nepo-hire is and from what I gather, bro is hoping to be hired through those means, sadly his friends only have a yogurt shop and a chicken shop. I am taking the mobile game slow this month and try to set my priorities for the year. Clean out clutter in PoGo bags and paper waste around my desk.

 

Health

I am getting used to consume these extracts. One needs to consume accompanied with something delicious. Learning to use tumeric in my beauty care. lol. 

 

Carer

Norman have been complaining about being unable to login to a profile on his device and talks about dying and giving up on mobile gaming altogether. When I visited him and checked his device, he had two profiles with very similar email addresses, but he cannot recall which was which. I said choose the second one is the latest one. He felt better and rest assured when the login was successful. How unfortunate despite having all these young people living with him could not help him with his basic login issue. 

February 2026

Ah. I got this one in late. Boo.

I have learned that there is a thing called SIBO. It affects our small intestine, and it causes you to have gas and feeling bloated most of the time. If it breaks the layer of the small intestine then we will begin to see rash and break out. on our skin. Eureka. I think, I have discovered the reason behind my skin condition.

My work colleague said their partner felt tired because of imbalance caused by SIBO. Hmm. There is more to this than I thought.

Trying out black walnuteextract. Ew. Bitter stuff.

 

Work

Still ironing out issues with PSR roll out. There has been talks of AI use and a little on ethics. If you ask me, ethics was not the issue, it is the act of not speaking to FOH staff about procedural changes is by far the nastiest methodology. Worst is FOH staff has to create an interim procedure to fill in the gaps created by the procedural changes and apologies to patron for the inconvenience caused.  

 

PoGo

I had an amazing streak. During road to Kalos I encountered a perfect pikachu on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It was such wow moment. Totally did not expect it. Then Sunday bang another perfect pikachu. We did not get to use all of our link charges as the lobby were small for the super mega raids.

 

Dating

My brain is not that space of romance. So, I don't think I can handle needy individuals who are shopping for models with money and cooking skills. I do hope to attend more events to get to meet someone. I gotta fix my knee and rash on my face.

Lately, Lisa has been giving orders from her lounge bed, even to people who are simply washing their hands in the bathroom. When they don't respond, she accuses them of ignoring her. Today, I asked her how she could be sure, especially over the sound of running water. As soon as I questioned her, she called me a “bitch.”

I reminded her that asking for clarity isn’t unkind—it’s simply seeking evidence, which is how I try to approach things. 

What frustrates me is the contrast between her words and her behaviour. I’m trying to make sense of the inconsistency, both in what she says and in how she treats others. She frequently talks about heaven and morality, yet she doesn’t hesitate to lie or lash out. Lying is a sin.

I’m wrestling with how to maintain compassion without allowing disrespect, and how to stay pragmatic without being perceived as confrontational. Sadly, she remains stubborn. Only old age death will free her from her ill manners.
 

 

 

 

January 2026 - gratitude

A new year, a new dawn—or so you think. In reality, it’s mostly just me being a kind of Raggedy Ann. Sometimes I find myself losing patience, but I must say that stress or anger never lingers long. I sleep like a log; only when my restless legs act up am I woken in the night. The latest iPhones come with wellness music, and I’m loving it!

I am so thankful for the friends in my mobile‑gaming community who willingly put up with my bragging and help me achieve my gaming goals. Over the past decade, some have been kind enough to buy me a team badge, purchase plush toys for me while traveling, bake me a cake, and introduce me to their friends coming from overseas. Being able to continually make new friends through this mobile‑gaming platform feels like a miracle—it has enriched my life in countless ways. I’m now gradually extending my circle to local groups and to people I meet on social media.

I have cycled through many professional networking groups to date. Each one has opened my eyes to hidden worlds that I would otherwise never have had a chance to discover because of infrequent interaction. The library tours with the Infomanics group from the technical school were a blast. The Friday‑morning social‑media group showed me the broader landscape of the gig economy and startup space in Victoria. The New GLAMR group was a great experiment, and I got to meet several new professionals in our information industry. These individuals actually write and publish articles in professional journals. The New Cardigan group expands beyond our profession to include private collectors, “para‑professionals” building their own worlds, and uniquely skilled individuals. The nuance of playing a game without a board or electronic console was an eye‑opener. I also learned to turn the demands placed on us into opportunities. Professional networking has greatly expanded my mind and my understanding of the world around me.

I have signed up to two more professional groups in the last year, but I have not had much time to get involved in many of the activities. I can imagine great things to come.


   

January 2026 - a small reflection

New Year, old issues.

I still need to look into better ways of handling people with short tempers and shutting them down even faster—especially family members.

For instance, Sis.

When Sis comes home, she has to complain—no, not maybe—about how people have treated her wrong in some way, even indirectly (e.g., staring at her, sitting next to her), or about a mishandled food, drink, or online‑shopping order. It’s usually one of those three things.

When you sit down in the same room as her—even silently and for just a brief moment—Sis will suddenly start talking about how judgmental her former high‑school friends and volunteer colleagues were. It comes out of the blue. Shortly afterward she claims you don’t understand her point, even though I haven’t said a word. This happens despite the fact that no one has spoken to her in the past 20 years. 

On the last few trips to rural areas and across state lines, Sis becomes agitated, saying the journey prevents her from meeting a lover. Those men know how to gaslight a lonely woman; they repeatedly dupe her into feeling guilty and agreeing to meet. When Sis returns home, those men stop messaging her for long periods—sometimes years.

Overall, I don’t see the appeal. I refuse to justify anyone else’s behavior. No one wants to deal with a short‑tempered individual.
