start of something new: February 21 2024

was a very hectic wednesday workday. i couldn't complain though, work is work. well let me just rant a little. i was having a problem with this SQL query, it takes around 40 mins to gather data without any conditions but would not even complete after 3 hours when conditions are added. it is just so weird! i am baffled! conditions supposedly pinpoints data so fewer rows are returned; thus, less processing time logically speaking. but no, not this query. probably it has to do with table definitions. end of rant. the life of an IT engineer. sigh

good thing i got to play genshin impact for a bit. this quest is just so funny. these two below are the ancient learned ones in their respective regions and they were supposed to cross paths but one seemingly avoided the meet up. one was probably scared that his true identity will be revealed if ever they do meet. nevertheless, we can only speculate. i played as the other character and snapped some shots just for a personal collection. both displays an air of authority indeed.

it must be the work but i craved for some sweets. ate some with a bottle of coffee on the side. i forgot what it was called but it was delicious with so many textures playing in my mouth. got to satisfy the sweet tooth at times.

later that night i decided to hit the gym. my buddy couldn't make it, he has already excused himself for the entire week as his wrist got bruised from the previous snowboard trip. he would need to take a lot of rest for him to be ready for another snowboard trip this saturday and sunday; yes, a two day trip. i will need all the energy and muscle power by then too so i decided to just do cardios. no muscle training for now, i don't want to go with a sore muscle.

but before the cardio exercise, i decided to do some abs via machines. i am not really a fan of these machines but why not. i do not expect to get washboard abs from these but they will at least strengthen my core, i thought. i have tried them on several occasions before, but i was never serious. now, i think i'll do them before my cardio. two machines won't take that long.

then off i went to the main event, treadmill walking. as reported the previous day, i upgraded from a 10 to level 11 incline. not much changed but the exhaustion level is so much higher. i'm still not used to this at all. this will get easier with time and by then, i will have to increase that level again. just a constant uphill improvement, just like life. who would want a stagnant life? not i. but i'm still not ready for the "jog".

i went home out of breath so i rewarded myself with a cocktail of some sort. this time i mixed vodka with a dash of blueberry liqueur and lots of calpis (calpico). the milky stuff definitely elevated the blueberry flavor. i'll try this with some other juice next time. or maybe i can use whiskey as the alcohol base, vodka is tasteless. this cocktail shows how i love to experiment. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, doesn't it? i will have a stronger alcohol limit that is.

as always, take care and stay safe.
AMPING!
