It's so expensive to treat myself. But yeah, so satisfied. It's already P435.00😭 with the drinks. 365 for food and 70 pesos for drinks

I can't believe I passed this exam. With this percentage, I might have ranked around Top 14 or 15 out of 300+ examinees nationwide. I'm so proud of this score. Yet, I still regret changing two of my correct answers. I think if I hadn't, I might have almost made the Top 10. So yeah, it's still an achievement, but I'll probably regret those two answers for a while. It makes it even more heartbreaking. 😅 Nevertheless, I know I didn't focus as much as I could have and still got these results. I only reviewed for a little over six days. I studied for only 3–4 hours a day on weekdays and around 12 hours on weekends. I still feel smart, lol. To God be the glory! P.S. Looking for a job was actually just my alibi. I've been busy with my full-time job. Haha.

Sorry guys haha. We're trying to hide from my relatives that I'm already working in a marketing agency😆. Also hided it with my friends. Only my virtual friends and my family knows haha. My sibling even told me that I'm the richest among my cousins on mother's side. Sana all richest, edi sana di na ako nagpopost rito kung mayaman na😆

There is this part of me that wants to return to affiliate marketing. I just can't find the time since I'm only available after my shift. I can do all my affiliate videos on weekends, but I'm mostly only available every Sunday. As for Saturday, I'm planning to get a haircut, apply for a Postal ID, and print the QR codes for my book of accounts. That means I'm only really available this Sunday, although I'm hoping I'll still have some time on Saturday. I don't know why I hustle so hard. Anyway, I'm planning to work on my schedule before I go to sleep. I have a lot of plans in life, and I still have the audacity to seek work-life balance. 😅 The work has been getting more manageable lately, although I've also been trying to look for another part-time job. Yeah, the audacity.

Time to work for full time and later look for another job opportunity and work part time

These days, I'm thinking about my next steps. Should I go back to working on my YouTube account, find another client, or grind further on my affiliate marketing account? But for now, I'm planning to focus on reviewing for the meantime. Thankfully, my client shifted my work hours to 9 AM to 5 PM. The only things that annoy me are the time tracker (it wasn't part of our initial agreement) and my boss, who's also impulsive. His main motto is "hire fast, fire fast" haha. I just want to keep this job since I don't have a backup full-time job.

What motivates you to work daily? Me:

I don't know if we can work well together for Reddit marketing or not. I just saw his message on Fiverr, but I haven't replied yet. I don't think it's included in what I offer. He's probably legit since he has a payment history. Yesterday, I also received a job offer for YouTube Shorts. After I responded, he sent me an unlisted video about one-hour tutorial and told me to prepare two paid scripts. It might be paid, but I don't think I can finish them within 24 hours. I'm still busy preparing for my upcoming CMMS examination this Sunday, and I still have two clients to serve. Speaking of my current client, I think my part-time client overlooked the bonus for some of my posts. I'll talk to her about that once I'm finally finished. Yeah, I'm fully booked and busy. I regret booking my examination schedule too early haha. Well, I still have a lot of time on Saturday since weekends are my days off haha. For now, I'm going to reply to their offers and continue making reviewers for my upcoming examination.

This is the fourth time I've received a job interview invitation since getting hired for my current full-time job. I told the potential client that I'm not planning to take on another client yet, but I still sent him some work samples. Just in case I don't pass my one-month probation, I'll have another opportunity to pursue. Still, I'm optimistic that I'll pass my one-month trial. Wishing for the best. Currently, I work with two part-time clients and have a few side hustles, like this one and TikTok. For now, I've decided to lie low here and on TikTok to focus on my upcoming CMMS examination.

Stacked 15 coins right after I woke up (my face says it all😂) #stackandwin @AmjadAli

I promised myself that I wouldn't stay up late just because I didn't finish my tasks today. There's still plenty of time tomorrow haha. It's probably reasonable since we had a one-hour meeting earlier. Yeah, I don't want to work past 3:00 AM. 2:30 AM is like my cutoff for overtime if I want to get a lot of tasks done. I'll just clock in at 5:00 PM tomorrow so I can finish my remaining workload. I won't mind starting an hour earlier since I usually take at least an hour of rest in between during my shift.

The meeting was kinda longer than usual. Yeah, so I'm a bit stressed about the two clients my agency owner handles. But yeah, I heard last week that they'll end their contract. They no longer accept companies in that industry. During the meeting, I told him I didn't experience much problems with other brands. I also came up with a solution to keep those posts live. But in that industry, it's such a struggle. I will be back working today. I just hope for the fucking best.

Good afternoon, guys! After spending an hour making reviewers, it's now time for me to highlight the important details in my learning materials again. I still have 2 hours left to review. Luckily, I was able to draft 2 posts for my part-time, task-based client and send them over to my friend, who will post them directly on her account. It's such a busy day, and I hope I can meet all of my deadlines.

I just finished highlighting and reading slides 1–70 a while ago. It took me 2 hours just to finish making reviewers for 26 slides. This is my strategy to help the information stick with me, although I know I'll probably retain it even better once I write everything down by hand. Of course, I'm only going to focus on the terminologies so I don't get overwhelmed. I'm pretty sure I'm going to look like a monster over the next few days. 😂 I need to complete 1–3 posts daily for my part-time client after I wake up. Then I'll study from 1 PM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. After that, I'll proceed with my full-time job. I kind of regret taking this exam slot, lol. It's not that I can't commit to reviewing since I already studied for 3 hours today and finished reviewing 70 slides. I'm just hoping I can ace this exam. 🤞 My exam is scheduled for July 19, 2026, so I still have some time to prepare.

I'm not expecting that I'll have to review 238 slides for my exam next week. Anyway, I just finished answering the BIR forms and paid my graduated income tax. But next year, I'll switch to the 8% income tax option since it's much cheaper than paying 3% quarterly percentage tax. The fixed 8% income tax is a better option because I won't have to pay the graduated income tax rates, which can go as high as 15% for the applicable portion of my taxable income. It's a bit complex, but choosing the 8% option is the best for me since I also won't need to file two tax forms at the same time. I also need to install the Microsoft Office product activation key that I bought online since it's way more economical than paying for, you know... 😂 HAHAHA

I tried making a diagnostic test using Claude for my upcoming CMMS exam, and this is the score I got 😂 I only provided the topics that I might encounter and answered using my stock knowledge. Based on the average national ranking, my score would usually place around 8th to 9th. To be honest, the questions weren't that difficult since I only generated them using Claude. But I know it won't be the same once I take the actual exam. I also haven't seen the official reviewers yet, so I don't know how difficult the questions, answer choices, and overall exam will be. For today, I'll prepare my learning materials using my old college notes and will start reviewing tomorrow. I'll also practice consistently, so hopefully I can get at least a decent score. 😅 Best of luck to me🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

This was my setup while I was working. Yeah, I'll just interact here during my 15-minute break. After that, I'll get back to focusing for another 2 hours. I basically follow a 25-minute focus and 5-minute break routine. It somehow works for me because it helps me get a lot of tasks done.

I just tried this ice cream from Swirls. It costs ₱99 haha. I just wanted to try it for the experience. The toppings seem premium, but I don't think it's worth the price. It was good for a first try, but I probably won't buy it again. I still prefer their Coke Floats.

We have a client that we've been struggling to get through on Reddit. 😂 Even our boss has already given up, and honestly, I'm about to give up too. He even said they probably won't accept another client like this again. This client got handed over to me, so now I'm trying to come up with another strategy to avoid running into the same problem. The only thing keeping me motivated is imagining my earnings once I convert them from USD to PHP every payday. 😂😂😂

Just burned 255 calories during my 30-minute session. It's been a couple of days since I became inactive while adjusting to my WFH routine, but I hope I can settle into it soon. For now, I'm taking a short break before logging back into work. Time to meet deadlines again... and again... and again. The typical employee life. 😂
