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.

AI, Languages and Neuro-Kernels

“A radical rethinking of OS architecture for the age of AI: from legacy kernels to self-optimizing neuro-kernels powered by contextual intelligence.” I believe that the future will ditch Linux and Windows because AI will create it's own kernel that's ready to be fused with AI model to become neuro-kernel. Why? Because they were not created for AI. They were created several decades ago when LLM wasn’t even a phrase. They were born out of necessity, not intention — a way to make silicon respond to keyboards, screens, and human commands. Over time, they adapted: adding graphical user interfaces like Window User Interface and desktop environments of Linux, supporting mobile devices such as Android and iOS, and surviving by bolting on complexity, you get the gist. But at their core, they are still human-first operating systems, not built for real-time machine reasoning, context shifts, or model-to-model communication. Now Let's Talk Inefficiencies The inefficiencies are baked in...

Always Remind Yourself of the Simple and Content Life

Life often moves at a relentless pace, filled with responsibilities, ambitions, and distractions. In the midst of it all, it’s easy to overlook the profound beauty of simplicity—those quiet moments of contentment that, in hindsight, hold the most value. This sentiment is captured in the presence of a grandchild, a reminder of life’s purest joys. A child’s laughter, their innocent curiosity, and the way they find wonder in the smallest things serve as a gentle nudge to pause and appreciate what truly matters. This photograph, then, is more than just an image; it’s a time capsule of love and gratitude. It reminds me that a life lived with simplicity and contentment is not something to take for granted but rather to cherish deeply.
