trial experience

and so i used envelope budgeting and achieved some results: not that astonishing though. i budgeted my last Php1732.00 yesterday to make it last until tuesday, just before the next pay day. i got 4work nights and 2 offs. i need Php250 per work day, which means Php1000 so i still have extra Php732 since i dont have debts and bills to pay for now. that's a good sign considering i'm already thinking that i'll have no money when tuesday comes. what makes it work? here are what i saw


  1. big view on a small scale - i never get to see the whole picture when i spend or swipe: especially swipe. because there's something with buying that makes me feel easy and comfortable that i want to do it again. without consulting the purse. but last night i saw the details on my spending. i know i love food and that was the time i realized that i eat for comfort. so, i know i spend too much on that part and that's where i need to watch out.
  2. preventive measure - knowing that i only have money for food and transportation made me back-off on those luscious donuts with custard inside and icing on top. need i say more?
these are just two of, i should say, benefits that it can offer. i have some more at the back of my mind. but i just got back from work and i want to sleep. so, ponder on these for and i'm pretty sure you'll have your own list once you've tried this envelope thingy.

Agile Transportation System (ATS) Values and Principles

Here’s a draft of the Agile Transportation System (ATS) Values and Principles. ATS Core Values Adaptability Over Rigidity - ATS prioritizes flexible route adjustments and dynamic scheduling based on real-time demand rather than fixed, inefficient routes. Availability Over Scarcity - There should always be an ATS unit available when and where it's needed, reducing wait times and ensuring continuous service. Efficiency Over Redundancy - Every unit must maximize passenger load without compromising speed and convenience, ensuring an optimal balance of utilization. Simplicity Over Complexity - Operations should be straightforward, avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy and ensuring seamless passenger movement. Continuous Improvement Over Static Systems - ATS evolves based on data and feedback, refining operations to enhance reliability and customer satisfaction. Customer Experience Over Just Transportation - The system is not just about moving people; it's about making their journe...

Prompt Analysis Using First-Principles Thinking (FPT)

Instead of memorizing existing prompt patterns, let’s break down Prompt Analysis from First-Principles Thinking (FPT) —understanding what makes a prompt effective at its core and how to optimize it for better AI responses. Step 1: What is a Prompt? At its most fundamental level, a prompt is just: An input instruction → What you ask the AI to do. Context or constraints → Additional details that guide the response. Expected output format → Defining how the AI should structure its answer. A well-designed prompt maximizes relevance, clarity, and accuracy while minimizing misunderstandings. Step 2: Why Do Prompts Fail? Prompts fail when: ❌ Ambiguity exists → The model doesn’t know what’s truly being asked. ❌ Lack of context → Missing background information leads to weak responses. ❌ Overloaded instructions → Too many requirements confuse the AI. ❌ Vague output expectations → No clear structure is provided. ❌ Incorrect assumptions about AI behavior → The prompt d...

rally car book

thinking about resurrecting my 81 colt mirage to a rally spec car, i remembered there was a book about it - race and rally car source book: the guide to building and modifying a competition car by allan staniforth. i saw it the first time in national bookstore in eastwood city, libis and heard that a friend of mine owns one. here's its cover (thanks to haynes.co.uk ) on the process, i also found a site for kids. kidsdownload is a blog where you'll find ebooks for kids such as rally car race : a short story by annette smith and illustrations by richard hoit. it's about a kid who enjoys watching rallies on tv. a lot of kids ebooks can be downloaded there. although, it will redirect you to rapidshare.com . if you're ok with that, then please enjoy!
