"You think you know, but you have no idea..."
Trying to capture everything I do, futile as it may be.

I keep a small notebook by my side and do my best to keep a log of my day-to-day activities. This is the result.

Stressful Day

Tuesday, February 16, 2016

Had to tutor Rashid.
Had to make a presentation summarizing what I've been doing for Hichame.
Had to make it to Orange County for the Jack's Mannequin concert.
My mom got upset that I didn't move her bed upstairs. So I had to drive back home from Beverly Hills (picking up KFC in Glendale along the way) to do that.
It was hot. I was sweating.
Spend 3 hours working very productively in Pawn's dining room, getting the case studies don't.

The weather is still hot, into the mid-80s (F) each day this week. And it's projected to stay hot through the weekend into early next week.

This weekend is my last in LA. I'm planning to go to San Diego next weekend (19th) then drive to the Bay Area after that (around the 23rd). Then, I'll be back in LA for a bit and head straight to Australia for a month. (Yes, I booked my flights yesterday! Only $911 RT).

This morning I had my follow-up appointment with the doctor near our house. Everything was good; I have a perfect bill of health. Didn't see why I needed to show up there just to get my results, lol.

Worked for most of the day on Rashid's homework; it was basically translating/summarizing financial statement data into a Word document. But it took a bit of time.

I'm quite busy with all the tutoring. I basically have one student per day now, which is great financially but taking up my leisure time. At least it keeps me occupied each day. The latest student - Lamya - is just starting her Capstone Project, on food waste in Saudi Arabia. It is slow and tedious work.

My mom is recovering nicely from her knee surgery; she can walk now, and the pain seems to be subsiding. Today is the therapist's (Maria) last day, but the other therapist will take over soon and have my mom's staples removed.

Tita Cris and Tita Carrie visited the house today, they chatted and laughed with my mom. Tita Cris brought zucchini bread which was amazingly delicious.

Decided to hit up my homies for drinks tonight. Looks like Ang, Adrian, and I are going to DTLA Artwalk. Woot!

Groundhog Day

Tuesday, February 2, 2016

Sitting at a café,  sipping my decaf soy latte, watching a Land Rover run a homeless guy off his bike. Sometimes my life is so LA.

My mom is still in the hospital, recovering from yesterday's surgery. My uncle and I cleaned the house's door this morning.

Visited my mom again this afternoon. Listened to Freakanomics podcast on the drive over (development goals and bang for the buck).

My mom had her therapy, learning how to walk. She's still in pain but everything is going smoothly so far, thankfully.

I had a Skype call scheduled for 3pm. My uncle wanted thai food. So we walked to a nearby restaurant that had wifi. My call got rescheduled. It's confirmed that I'll be meeting my coworkers in San Jose in a month.

I was texting Mike and a few other close friends; updating then on my mom's status. It feels good to keep in touch, but it's also biter sweet to open up about something so personal.
