Compared to last month October is less eventful. We are not able to celebrate our anniversary this year to complications. I have also packed alot of balikbayan boxes this month. I have watched a few anime during my flights, eg. Jujitsu Kaizen, By the Grace of God, Blue Lock . I need to give the old laptop to Kat and buy an newer one which I got from Carousell (Aftershock lapto).

Wedding Anniversary

Due to our current circumstances, we are unable to celebrate our anniversary this year. We really never had this out of the ordinary wedding anniversary celebration, maybe due to it being an October and it is a school season. In the past few years a few eventful things happens that somehow falled with October. For this year I'll just throw a few throwback photos during time when we were still dating.

Nothing fancy dating back in the days where cellphone was just barely a thing, yahoo messenger was hot tool, friendster & multiply was the goto social medial sites.

Packing Series of Balikbayan Boxes

Bunch of stuffs needed to be sent back to the Philippines...

By now I have send around 5 boxes, there should be a few more boxes on its way since alot of stuff are still here in the flat.

Jujitsu Kaizen Demon Slaying Anime

Action and different art style...

It is a good paced action, with a decent humor and an ok story line. I have only watched the anime, and maybe in the future hoping to read the manga.

By the Grace of God, Slow Paced Anime

Good to watch comfort anime, best for kids...

A slow paced anime with a master slime caretaker. It is nothing much but if you love a non-stressful minimal pace life anime, this is the go to.

Bluelock, football anime

As of now this an ongoing anime, it look promising...

I think this being an anime is better than reading this (if ever this has a manga). After watching this anime the word that will stuck you would be "EGOIST" player!

New Laptop Aftershock

Decent laptop upgrade after 7 years...

Bought a second hand aftershock laptop from carousell. Basically it run a RTX2060 with i710875H. I have pumped it with a couple of Samsung NVMe SSD for the additional disk space.

Singapore National Holiday Joyce had her school activities. Katrina started to have this weird feelings which at first I thought was just normal. During Desaru Kat started to become axious so we decided to fly back to Philippines. She had her checkup and another accident happened one after the other. She was confined and I need to stay in Manila for 3-4 weeks until she recovers. Joyce starts going to school in St. Cyr Academy. I also visited mama's grave after 2 years of being stuck in Singapore.

Cleaning a clogged toilet is a horrible experience, I placed too much Mr.Muscle causing a very strong scent in the house.

Uneventful mid-month, it is the usual mall hopping from Marina Square, Suntec, Greenich V. Dropped by Jalan Kayu and Sengkang Sports Complex. I have also fixed the broken USB socket for the Casio Piano.

Paya Lebar Quarters and Great World Mall

Two unique malls we rarely visited...

We visited this two mall based on their Playground quality. One has a great outdoor playgroud and the other has a spaceship and train themed playground. Both playgrounds are open areas and thus free, nobody pays for a playground here in Singapore.

Got this bloody injury while fetching Joyce during break...

I basically hit my head to the bus pole handle. I went to the nearby clinic in Layer station.

Joyce Birthday

Another year for Joyce, we always pray for good health. Seeing our daughter grow up is really a mixed feeling.
