For context, I am terrible at motivating myself with cranky rewards. “Study hard and your future self will thank you” does absolutely nothing for me if I'm being frank. My future self is basically a stranger. But I kept seeing records I wanted and thinking, damn, I really want that. So I started making a deal with myself: if I put in the work, I can buy the record.

Having something physical to look forward is already a huge success. I earned this! Now, I’d put the new record on even if I'm not studying and just listen to it. Enjoy everything you worked hard for.

When I look at it tho, it reminds me of the week I didn't get a decent sleep but still managed to get things done. It sounds insanely sentimental for a pile of records, but I like it a lot. Erm, I did put in the work.

I guess my advice is: find a reward that actually means something to you. Do NOT make studying feel like punishment 24/7. For me, apparently, that something was spending money related to my passion.

As a music enthusiast, this is a huge win for my personal and academic journey.

Honestly speaking, I didn’t even know something like this existed in the market until about 3 months ago.One of my not-so-close friends was doing it. I was randomly scrolling Instagram when I came across one of his AI videos. It had decent likes and a good number of comments, but what caught my attention was that nobody seemed to realize it was AI.

The comments were completely normal. No one was asking if the person in the video was AI or real. I was genuinely surprised tbh

So I called him and asked how he made it. I’m always open to trying new things, so I wanted to understand it properly and see if I could do it too, We set up a Google Meet, and he walked me through the whole process. He explained me how to write the prompts, create the AI model, and then turn that model into UGC-style videos.

It took me almost 3 hours to properly understand everything, After that, I created a portfolio specifically for AI UGC and started pitching brands, The good part was that I already had some brand contacts from my regular UGC work, so getting those first deals was much easier than starting completely from scratch.

In less than 3 months, I made $8,724 from AI UGC, That still feels crazy to me because 3 months ago, I didn’t even know this existed. Now AI is taking our Jobs too lol

Fritz Zwicky was decades ahead of his time — he’s credited as the first to conceive of supernovas, neutron stars, dark matter, and gravitational lensing. He was also, by every account, exhausting to work with. He dismissed rival research as “useless trash in the bulging astronomical journals” and openly called his colleagues “spherical bastards, no matter how you look at them they are just bastards”.
‎He explained the term himself: these were people who were bastards no matter which angle you viewed them from. One target was Walter Baade, his own collaborator on neutron star theory; when their relationship soured, rumors even circulated that Zwicky threatened to kill him. The irascibility cost him during his lifetime, well his abrasiveness is thought to be a major reason he received so few honors despite enormous scientific contributions although decades after his death, but as dark matter became one of cosmology’s biggest open questions, Zwicky’s reputation (and his best insult) have both aged remarkably well.

I started designing custom 3D cases because I’ve been into creating IOT side projects lately. Then I decided selling its layout on the internet and I received about five commission today. This projects is an enclosure case and can be customize (like the sizes) depends on the clients needs and they are the one who will print it. You can try it as well! :>

Hindi pa naka activate yung spaylater ko pero nakakuha ako ng ₱600 voucher hehe sana ₱1000 naman next!!! Manifestingg :))

We had consecutive days of class suspensions here in our area due to the weather and now I decided to spend the last three weeks building an IoT-based NFC attendance scanner just for fun.

Instead of signing a sheet which some establishment do, the users will just TAP their phone against the scanner and utilize the built-in NFC tech already inside iPhones ( I haven’t tried it on android) and then it will record their attendance.

I’m still improving the system and refining the setup so far its working already and I need to finish the 3D casing so it can be use in an actual.
