Time Check: 2:40 AM Yeah, it's already late, and I just messaged "Clock Out" because I no longer want to work today. Kidding aside, it's already the end of my shift. It's quite stressful because Reddit instantly deletes our campaigns, even though I know they don't sound promotional or spammy. We didn't even mention our client's brand in the discussion. My main assumption is that it's because we used the exact keyword in the title. The platform probably knows if we're just doing it for SEO or not. It gets stressful sometimes, but at least it pays the bills. I just got my salary for my first 5 days of work, and I'm so happy.

Cold ice cream for the cold weather. My mom prepared ice cream out of the blue. I told her that it would be better if she added mango since it pairs well with graham powder. Right now, I have a lot of pending tasks to do before I start my shift. I need to update my books of accounts for tax purposes, create affiliate contents in advance, and draft 7 posts for my other part-time client. After that, I'll also do some cardio before my shift. I usually eat dinner before I clock in since I know it's going to be a long day.

Good day, everyone. I sent money again to my BCHNostr account to upvote some posts. Back in noise.cash and read.cash, I always did this as my way of giving back. It's not a big amount, but I'm just used to this kind of system from 4–5 years ago. Time flies by. I'm glad I was able to do it again. Thank God the weather is not that hot and it's not raining heavily. Glad that I invested in a blackout curtain, as it's been very helpful with my night shift job. I just slept past 3 AM and woke up past 10 AM.

Time check: 2:48 AM Done with my work today. I just finished some workloads, which led me to work overtime a bit. I'm so tired after working and attending three meetings 😂. I'll see them again tomorrow. What motivates me to work is the salary. 😂

BIR stresses me out, lol. I'm qualified for the 8%, but they said I'm only eligible to update it for the next taxable year. Anyway, I computed my possible annual taxes since they assigned me to the graduated tax, and I guess I should just take it for now. But if you compute it in the long term, it's cheaper to pay if we choose the 8% option. I just need to complete my errands for today, where I'll manage my financial obligations. If I didn't have plans to travel overseas, I wouldn't even plan to register with BIR.

This day, I'm getting stressed about my BIR registration. I availed of the 8% OSD since it's better for freelancers who don't have many business expenses. However, I saw 2551Q - QUARTERLY PERCENTAGE TAX RETURN after checking my Certificate of Registration. Fortunately, ChatGPT and Gemini noticed these problems, and I hope they can still be fixed. It might be a registration issue, and I'm glad to say that I already spotted this problem early. I'm just complying since I want to apply for a visa soon and travel internationally without further problems. If you will asl me, I didn't want to stay in the Philippines any longer. At least I can experience the convenience that we deserve by flying outside of this country.

Let's get back to work after resting yesterday. For today, I'm planning to work on a few of my side hustles. I see a lot of surveys available on the site that I regularly check, so I'm planning to answer a few of them and interact here since I've been too inactive lately. I'll also film a few TikTok affiliate videos later after lunch and make a roulette with different themes. This way, I can easily create content that doesn't look repetitive. I just need to be extra careful since I'm hiding the fact that I'm already working from my relatives and Facebook friends. Only a few people know that I already have a job. After that, I'll complete my Tax Registration Form since I'm planning to fulfill my tax obligations. Not because I enjoy paying taxes, but because I don't want to stress myself when I need to apply for a visa or travel outside the country. My main goal is to travel abroad at least once a year without worrying about immigration. Then I'll draft seven posts in advance, and someone will publish them on my behalf each day. Yeah, I outsourced some tasks to a friend whom I know can easily adjust to the role. I couldn't handle posting on Reddit in real time since it overlaps with the hours I need to work for my full-time client. That's why I decided to write all the posts in one sitting. Then she'll publish them according to my instructions and reply to the comments. I'll just track everything in our spreadsheet. If I can still write more than seven posts before 10 p.m., I'll try to draft a few more. So far, I'm getting used to waking up late since I work the night shift.

It's been three days since I received and started using this laptop for work. So far, it has exceeded my expectations, even though it's second-hand. In this economy, where RAM is inexpensive, buying a second-hand laptop was the ideal choice for me. I received a lot of monetary gifts from my relatives during my graduation and only had to add ₱5,000, which I earned from my part-time jobs. A virtual friend recommended a Facebook seller to me, and I'm glad I trusted her. While negotiating, I always asked my sibling if the deal was good or not. I also asked ChatGPT if the laptop would fit my work and lifestyle. So far, I love everything about this laptop. It looks like it was only used about four times. It also comes with a backlit keyboard, which is very important for someone like me who works the night shift. Its built-in webcam is good as well, but I still purchased an external webcam because my client requires one. You know, my full-time job runs from Monday to Friday, and we always need to communicate with the team. I attend two daily meetings. One is with the entire Reddit team, while the other is a one-on-one meeting with the Head of Reddit. Aside from that, we also have a weekly meeting with the whole team, including the agency owner and the Lead Generation Specialist. I'm not sure if that's actually his role. So far, my first three days have been great, and I'm just relaxing this weekend.
