Journal Entry - September 25, 2024

 Today started a bit late for me; I overslept and didn’t wake up until the morning had already progressed. After finally getting out of bed, I took a refreshing shower around 10 AM to shake off the grogginess. My mother and I then hopped on the motorcycle and headed to the mall together. It was nice to spend some time with her while shopping for clothes and a new jacket.

Once at the mall, we browsed through various stores and I found some great items that I couldn't resist. Shopping with my mom always makes the experience more enjoyable, and we shared a few laughs along the way. After finishing our shopping spree, we decided to grab some food before heading home.

On the way back, we stopped at KFC to pick up some delicious chicken and also got Mie Gacoan for a flavorful snack. Once we arrived home, I couldn't wait to dig into my meal. After enjoying my food, I felt a bit tired and decided to take a nap to recharge.

When I woke up, I felt refreshed and ready to tackle some coding. I dedicated about two hours to programming, focusing on enhancing my skills and making progress on my projects. It was a productive day that combined quality time with my mom, some retail therapy, and meaningful work.

This morning began with a simple yet satisfying meal of nasi kuning (yellow rice) and tempe (fried soybean cake). It was a comforting start to the day, as the rich flavors of the rice and the crispy texture of the tempe really hit the spot. After breakfast, I decided to take a short nap, which turned into a longer rest than I had originally planned. I ended up sleeping until midday, which left me feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the tasks I had set for myself.

Once I got up, I immediately opened my laptop to begin searching for a new place to stay, as I’m currently on the lookout for a new apartment or kosan. I spent some time browsing different options online, comparing prices, locations, and amenities to find something that suits my needs. It's quite a time-consuming process, but it feels necessary to make sure I find the right place.

After spending a fair amount of time searching, I decided to take a break and watch some anime. I picked up where I left off with 86 Part 2, an anime series I've been following. The storyline is getting intense, and I enjoyed immersing myself in the action and the deeper themes the series explores. It was a nice way to relax and recharge my mental energy.

Later in the afternoon, I watched a live stream from one of my favorite YouTubers, IShowSpeed. It’s always entertaining to watch his streams, and today’s live show was no different. His energy and humor never fail to make me laugh, and it was a nice way to unwind after a somewhat productive day.

Towards the evening, I spent about 30 minutes coding, focusing on preparing for the LSP (Professional Certification). I worked through a few practice problems and made some good progress. Coding for the certification is important, and while 30 minutes may not seem like much, it helps keep me in the rhythm of problem-solving and sharpening my skills. It was a fulfilling way to end the day, balancing leisure with productivity.
