It's almost 1 AM. I need to make this quick, but I haven't even recorded today yet! (laughs) I was going to go to the gym early this morning, but I kept procrastinating and didn't go.
I did some Anki. Lately, the sessions have been intense—25 new words today, plus 56 for review, making it 70 or 80 words. (laughs) Over 80 words! I did some in the morning, leaving less than 50 words, and I thought, "It's better to split this up." So I split it up. By the afternoon, I was still chilling.
In the evening, I went to the market with my mom. We mainly wanted to buy fruit because the fridge was getting empty. But there wasn't much variety. Every stall had grapes, apples, guava, bananas, and oranges. What I really wanted were rose apples, guava, or those three-flavor mangoes, but there were none. (laughs) No rose apples at all, not a single stall. It's probably not their season. I really wanted rose apples. In the end, we just got some guava and two bunches of grapes. My parents ate the grapes; I don't really want to eat too many. They're so easy to eat, though. (laughs) Pure fruit sugar, whatever it is. So, we went to the market and picked up some fruit, vegetables, and fish.
Later that evening, we came back to eat dinner with the family. My brother had gone out with his girlfriend's family, and they bought a ton of food for us: MK duck, crab rolls, and so many other things. So, my mom didn't cook tonight; we just ate all that for dinner together.
Anki was still waiting. It was already evening. After dinner, I just sat around, played RoV, then another solo RoV game. By then it was 8 PM. I thought, "If I win this game, I'll go shower and come back to review." (laughs) But 8 PM turned into 9 PM. (laughs) I suddenly realized, "Oh crap!" (laughs) It was 9 PM when I finally got myself to run through the shower. Then I started reviewing. (laughs) I started around 10 PM, a little after. There weren't many words left, maybe less than 50, but I didn't finish until almost 12:30 AM. A little after 10 PM to almost 12:30 AM. (sighs) Incredible.
It's starting to be fun, though; I can read some words and sentences. But it's the Japanese particle structure that's really hard to master. And the translation isn't quite where I want it to be. I'm still not used to the subject-object-verb structure; it's so different from Thai and English. When I translate, I still have to go back and forth to really grasp the overall meaning. (laughs)
That's about it. Nothing else for today. Tomorrow, I plan to go to the gym early, around 9 AM, before the mall opens. It gets so crowded later. I definitely don't want to go in the evening, especially on a Sunday when there are millions of people from 10 AM onwards. Okay, time to sleep. See ya!
Oh, how could I forget to mention this? (laughs) I improved the website a lot today. The main thing was optimizing the journal page, because the entries are starting to pile up. I cut down on some loading, making the data transfer between the server and browser faster and lighter. I also adjusted the editor, bringing many functions and tokens from the page editor into the entry editor. For instance, there's embedding now. I can embed various links, like that song we like from the last entry. It supports embedding from Apple and all sorts of other links. I also adjusted the image upload; now I can upload multiple photos and choose how they display, like in columns. I brought those features over to this side too, just to make it more enjoyable (laughs), especially for attaching photos. Just some other minor tweaks, like adjusting fonts and font sizes for mobile. It's all about the UI. (sighs) Okay, that's what I wanted to say. (laughs) Really going now. See ya!
