Things I Love Sundays: 2025 APPT Manila Open
I haven’t written on this blog in a while - and it’s funny cos I do journal anyway - but I noticed that writing for a perceived audience seems —- better for me. Same goes for my Substack. Now I wonder what will I keep.
This week was insane. On Monday morning, I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack. All of a sudden, I was thinking of my new role (Head of Offline Payments Growth Marketing) - the APPT of the week, an upcoming tournament on March 8th, not being invited in another league - our unit renovation, among may others. I’m starting to feel like maybe I had been trying to strike so many things.
But there are things I learn from this week and those are:
I am glad to have been gunning for experiences being brave for APPT is one. Good call to have gotten Dennis, he was a good coach for this experience.
It’s not me - sometimes people just want things on their own ways of doing things and I can’t do anything about that (league related) NAT
I have a good community and friends - even if some of them don’t show up all the time
I am not defined by my productivity all the time BUT I will be if I have nothing to show for it when the time comes
Neil will not change his mind about DX even if Michelle gave my team away to Andy and Cals - REMEMBER THIS
I need to remember to walk my path and do not forget my goals!
ON TV
I of course keep my habit of watching TV religiously and my recent favorites include:
HIGH POTENTIAL, Disney+. Like Legally Blonde but LAPD. Morgan is my favorite nerd and the investigate character mirrors my Scorpio personality.
THE WHITE LOTUS, S3, Max. It’s only 1 episode so far but as always - intriguing.
AMERICAN MURDER - The Murder of Gabby Petito. Why oh why are some people stupid when it comes to love? Well - it’s not her fault she got killed but Brian Laundrie was for sure an asshole and coward.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, Netflix. When you have an extreme case of the Münchausen syndrome, makes millions and then can’t own up to your lie.
