Keyboard-building-story

Hello, it’s been months since I last posted. LMAO this is always at the beginning of my blog posts. Anyway! It has been three months and I just want to let you all know that I’m still here.

Soooooo! I have built my very first mechanical keyboard!!!! (Yes, first because this is most certainly not the last!!!!!!!!)

I took the time researching and watching YouTube videos about how to build a mechanical keyboard but I found TaehaType’s “How to Lube MX Switches” and “How to Lube and Tune Stabilizers” videos to be the most helpful! I also dabbled a bit with video tutorials about modding keyboards, like Hamaji Neo’s “Holee Mod tutorial” and nearLucid’s “Tempest Tape Mod explained” since I’m interested with doing a few mods on my keyboard but I haven’t done any yet (except for the EVA foam mod) since I’m satisfied with how my keyboard sounds like.

Here’s the photos of when I received my keyboard. I decided to go with a TOM680/TM680 keyboard, since this resembles so much of the Glorious GMMK PRO 75% Barebone keyboard which was my first choice, however, it was a bit on the pricey side and I somehow can’t justify how expensive it is, considering that this is my first time building a mechanical keyboard.

I did take note that the stock stabilizers for the TOM680/TM680 is decent enough, but I ultimately decided to get Everglide plate mounted stabilizers. Mainly for the aesthetics.

For the switches, I decided on getting the Akko CS Rose Reds… well, because it’s pink! But other than that, I saw a lot of good reviews that it’s a very decent linear switch for it’s cheap price and I’ve seen videos where they were able to make their keyboards sound so good (thocky) with these switches.

I’m actually thinking of changing my switches to the Boba U4T’s since I’ve heard that’s one of the best tactile switches!! And I also got my eyes on the Kailh Polia because of it’s pastel purple color.

I know, it’s weird to look at switches and choose one because of it’s color, but sis needs to select one that is cute and aesthetically pleasing. Anyway, so I got into the whole tactile switches thing right after I convinced my sister to get her first mechanical keyboard, but that’s for another story!!

I have listed all the products I used for this build below the photosets. Please take note that these are links for Shopee PH, you may want to check other sites like Taobao and AliExpress if you don’t have Shopee in your country.

Here's the before and after:

Product list:

Keyboard: TOM680 | Milky White | EVA foam modded: https://bit.ly/2ZcDegO Stabilizers: Everglide Plate mounted stabilizers | lubed with Kyrtox 205g0 and Dielectric Grease: https://bit.ly/2ZjT7lT Switches: Akko CS Rose Reds | lubed with Kyrtox 205g0: https://bit.ly/3b51hAJ Keycaps: (Before) DSA Hana clones: https://bit.ly/3C7VM0d (After) Kon Momo Keycaps Clones: https://bit.ly/3mcvynu Deskmat: Custom Mousepad Pinku Great Wave: https://bit.ly/2ZjZrcx Lube: Krytox 205g0: https://bit.ly/2XO1rJX Dielectric Grease: https://bit.ly/3bd8lLE Case foam: EVA foam: https://bit.ly/3pJTkcO

Yesterday was my unofficial last working day. It should be on the 15th but since we have transition rest days, which was Tuesday and Thursday for me. It now puts my Wednesday in an awkward spot where it's sandwich between my rest days, where one of them being my last day, so I decided to be absent. I did tell my new team lead that I won't be reporting to work by then, and she was okay with it.

It was an awesome two years with Cognizant. I learned so much about myself, my work ethics, the way I would interact with other people and I get to practice new skills that I acquired during my stay. I know I've struggled so much during the quarantine period, but I had been with people who helped me pull through. They made me realize that I wasn't alone with that kind of struggle and so, I did the best next thing to do, help myself and work toward my own goals.

I wasn't a top performer, if I may say so myself. I'm mediocre to be honest. I have my fair share of failures before I could get good scores. I had to learn the hard way, and adapt so quickly with the fast paced processes and workflows.

I used to hate the phrase “trust the process”. It sounds so cliché since I say that a lot now but really, along the way, it made me realize that no one becomes great overnight. It was a long process of creating action plans, figuring out what worked, or why it did.

I honestly associate the word process with the people I’ve worked with because we’re all products of a process that was never perfect to begin with but it was the right one to form us to what we are now. While the process of being great employees and future leaders never stop, least at this point of our lives, we have the foundation to achieve whatever goals we may have individually.

I will ultimately miss hanging out in the GVC (Google voice chat/Google Meet) because I know it won't be the same anymore. I will miss all the singing, the jokes and banters. I will miss the “budol recos” and everything that we would do to past time at work.

Even though I’m off to start a new chapter of my life, I won’t forget all the things I learned from my job and the people who helped shaped me today.

Small wins, big impact.

About three days ago, I decided to uninstall the Facebook app on my phone since I believe that I spend most of my time there. I thought, maybe, just maybe... I'll be able to control my social media consumption. Why Facebook? Because there's a lot going on there. I only follow 35 people on Twitter, and I seldom use Instagram.

Okay, so the plan is, I am uninstalling the Facebook app on my phone and I can only browse Facebook using my work laptop or PC. This means I can only use it during work hours. That sounds bad, but honestly, that's the only time I use my work laptop since I won't try to use my work laptop outside my shift and I won't usually use my PC during work days because I would need to move my peripherals which is a hassle. Long story short, I'm lazy and I won't use neither the work laptop or PC if I don't need to.

To be honest, I didn't think that it will go well, but it's been three days. I find myself using my phone and looking for the Facebook app, only to remember that I have uninstalled it so I would put the phone down.

I also noticed that this decision to remove the app on my phone actually worked to get me to do something else. I have worked out, spent more time with my family and read books. I plan to continue this for a month, and hopefully I'm able to share that experience here.

----

Also, I only have 7-ish days until my last day at work. Things has not sunk in yet for me, but I know this will hit me around a few days after. I have not said all my thank you's yet to my colleagues, but I really want to do it two days before my last day or maybe tomorrow since we'll be changing our schedules next week.

Life update.

Hi blog! It's been a long time since I posted here. I have not been able to write here as often as I want, but here I am writing now.

I think I wrote a review about two months ago... Wow! That's a long time, and there's a few things that changed from that day.

For one, I got accepted to my *dream company*. I won't disclose for now because I'm still on the process of leaving my current job.

Well, I like my current job, but it's a little stagnant since I'm still doing the same thing for almost two year. The upside? I really like the people I currently work with. I get inspired to work and do the best everyday, however, I always get that gloomy feeling where I just feel that I'm not supposed to be doing that job anymore.

Do you know that I manifested for this to happen?

Well, back in November I got transferred to a different team. I thought I was just adjusting to the new team but apparently this cycle of not being able to communicate properly with my team leader has led to mistrust and my desperation to get out of that team. So, I applied to this job (the one I got accepted for) since my friend who works there told me they were hiring. Hoping that I can get in so I can finally free myself from the misery, but a few weeks passed, I didn't hear back so I just thought, "oh well, maybe it's not for me."

Then came mid May, my birth month where I semi-consciously prayed that I hope I get a new job that I will like. I vividly remember saying something like, "Lord, Papa, if you can guide me to get a new job that I will enjoy, send it my way."

And mind you, I kinda forgot that I even sent my application to my dream company!

After a week, I received a call from a recruiter... And he said he's from *dream company*. My jaw literally dropped. I said to myself, this is it. The opportunity that I was asking for.

So, I claimed that I will get it... but of course I tried my best to do my part of the bargain. I mean, if you manifest things but don't do anything to get to it, it won't come to you.

I got through the tedious application process and here we are now... I sent my resignation letter last week.

But I just now realize that I'm entering a phase that I somehow dislike... Filling out my new hire forms. Anyway! I have 15 days to accomplish this, so I'll do it sometime this week or next week.

I'm so excited for this new chapter in my life!!! And I hope this gives me more time to write about my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An honest review of Netflix's The Way of the Househusband

I was on Netflix the other day, and I found that the anime series "The Way of the Househusband" is already ready for streaming. I first heard of this show through my boyfriend, who is big on reading mangas and watching animes online, and though he comments that it wasn't good, I still took the time to watch it.

Anyway, the manga is a hit that it was no surprise that Netflix picked up the show to be an animated series.

The story of "The Way of the Househusband" follows an ex-yakuza boss, Tatsu, who traded his life on the streets for life being a stay-at-home husband to Miku.

What makes it very interesting is how Tatsu's former life meets his new life. As weird as it seems, people from his old days are surprised to see how domesticated he acts. One of the highlights of the series comes from this clash. Since Tatsu's persona is scary and intimidating, one to be matched with a yakuza, however, he is sweet and dedicated to taking care of Miku and running their household.

The anime is not the usual format that I would watch as there is very minimal animation. In all honesty, it works as a supporting element of making the show very light-hearted as it does tend to have occasional violence. It's quirky, and it captures the comedic side of the anime.

Is it worth your time watching? Yes. It's a feel-good anime that you may want to watch during downtimes throughout the day.

Today, my hair fell down the way I always wish it should every day. I'm grateful for that. I haven't had a good hair day where my bangs would fall beautiful without hitting my eyes, and my pastel pink-colored hair is smooth to touch. It feels healthier, and I'm glad because my hair has been through many bleaching sessions and DIY coloring to achieve the color I have now.

Oh yeah, since quarantine, I changed my hair color. I used to have bright red hair to which faded into this gorgeous pastel pink. Well, I did initially color my hair pastel pink, then green. So yeah, my hair went through a lot.

Hmm, what else? Oh! My Anne Pro 2 sounds so much better after I re-lubed my switches. So, I'm having fun using it typing! I was planning to do a full modification, but I'm scared to fuck it up. At the same time, I'm determined to do it, which is a good thing.

Anyway, here's a photo of my Anne Pro 2 in its current form.

Here's to another year saying, I will blog more.

I didn't intentionally leave my blog for no reason, but I won't be making any excuses as to why I never tried to write anything here at all.

I was supposed to write more during the quarantine. I secured getting my domain and had set out to fix everything, but I hit a curve. Most importantly, I got lazy, I was really uninspired, and you know, I always wondered why I never wrote anything anymore. I used to write all the days and hours of my life. I made stories, the kind that makes people cry.

I always look back and say that working took most of my life. It consumed me more than anything. I was looking into one wall and made that my world. It was scary to move away as this is the only thing that comforted me. That wasn't the case, really.

I learned that I just suck making time for things that makes me, me. I was comforted by being not productive because I already worked my ass and deserved a little break. This led me to my own burnouts and a lot of mental breakdowns. It made me feel like something was missing, and I could not figure it out until now.

When I started to revisit old Facebook posts of me being so happy writing six years ago, the realization hit me. Wow, it's been six years since I last wrote something worthwhile.

All I needed was a little push, and I'm off to fly again. I was always ready. I was just afraid to let my thoughts run wild.

With that being said, I was always that person who likes to pick up new hobbies and learn a lot more than I already know. This year alone, I built my sister her own PC, and I will be doing my own PC around March. I also picked up a new hobby, an expensive one, which is more about mechanical keyboards.

I hope to write a short story soon—just a short one to slowly get back into the groove of things.

I'll be writing more of my life here. Hopefully.

Anne Pro 2 my first mechanical keyboard! such a great investment and has amazing comfort when typing. Idk if I should make a review of this keyboard... OK, maybe after a month.

I have not made a decision to buy a keycap but I attempt to get a Sakura keycap or a Pink pudding keycap.

Good bye 2020, i admit that you sucked so bad. Na-stuck tayong lahat sa bahay for so many months but y’all know, I turned out fine... like hindi toxic positivity ha! I turned out fine in a sense na ngayon, proud ako to say na nakilala ko lalo ang sarili ko.

I’ve grown a lot, personally and at work. Ang dami kong frustrations na nauwi lahat sa mga mental breakdowns. I cried so much because I was overthinking na life is just passing me by and feeling ko na stuck ako... tapos hindi lang pala ako yung may ganung feeling.

Alam nyo, gaya nga ng sabi ni William Ernest Henley sa poem na “Invictus”,

“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”

I was able to regain control of my life because I carefully chose the things I should give a fuck about.2020 may have easily been the shittiest year, pero aminin ko man sa hindi, I needed the break from the fast-paced life. Kaya for what it’s worth, 2020, thank you for making my life hell. I made it out fine.

heaven sent, adj: you came in the moment when I know I was okay, that I know I can risk it, that I know it was safe to say, "I'm ready for this". You came in perfect time and I was bound not to let you go any moment now.

You can’t control how people think of you, you can only control what you think of and what you do. The most important thing is to know that it’s not your mistake to be who you are and do not let it hinder you to be a better person.

I wish for us not to be parallel lines who would meet once in our lives.

I want us to meet in one point, and slowly work our way up together.

If you fall, I fall with you.

I want to balance you if ever we are put in the balancing scales.

Whatever you lack, I would have abundance of.

Whichever I deficit, you will suffice.

It's always looking for someone. THAT SOMEONE. But you're supposed to be LOOKING FOR YOURSELF & WHO YOU ARE. You only attract the same kind of energy & vibe as you are. So, find yourself first, that someone will find its way to you. 💛

di ako okay. sinabi ko sayong di ako okay pero ayoko magworry ka so i lied by saying, there’s nothing to worry about.

i almost forgot the fact na by next month, aalis ka na. you’ll be off to chase your dream. ayokong maiwan mo dito, pero what choice do i have? before pa ako dumating sa buhay mo, iyon na ang plano mo. i don’t want to hinder your plan of chasing your dream. hindi ako selfish na tao. but you know, it dawns on me sometimes na, do i trust myself na kaya kong maging strong for us? if kakayanin ko na di mahawakan yung kamay mo or mayakap ka.

takot ako maiwan kasi di ko alam kung anong future meron tayo. tangina, i already have plans in my head. i want to spend every waking hours with you, sleep next to you, and have all meals with you. alam mo yun? hindi naman sa gusto ko lahat gawin with you, i just want you in my life.

i don’t want to spend days, months and years knowing someone else because i prayed for you. i always tell this story to my friends and i don’t know if i ever told you... i did pray for you.

“If hindi nyo ako bibigyan ng love life, okay lang kasi kaya ko mag-isa. Tanggap ko na rin naman na I’ll be alone in life basta okay sila mommy and Gail. If bibigyan nyo ako, please lang... Yung pang-forever, pang-matagalan. Ayoko na kasi magsayang ng panahon.” -this was my prayer.

and can you fucking imagine? i prayed for this and you came into my life, a month after. di ako sobrang religious pero i believe na binigay ka na saken because i deserve it--you.

di ko alam plano mo but i trust you. i have to kasi mahal kita. i need to kasi i choose you. and i will keep on choosing you until game over na. until sabihin mo na ayaw mo na ko sa your player two.

fuck, i love you so much.
