It's been over a week since the app went live in play store.
It didn't move as much. My laptop broke down the day after the first version was published.
Its unfortunate but I know there's also a profound and unforeseeable reasons why this happens.
I mean without it, I wouldn't have met people in informatics - a TESDA affiliated school. Who knows who I will meet and do while I'm in there.
Without it I couldnt have had this Interview in an acceleration program.
This is my first ever time I get to be interviewed by accelerator.
I found out about my own weaknesses during this interview. I don't know how to pitch. I don't know how to compose myself well while feeling pressured to do something. Truthfully I feel sorry for everyone because I feel like I just wasted their time because I didn't plan this well. I have a few days off before I get here and here I am still unprepared when I showed up. I don't know why I didn't plan much about it maybe since I didn't think they're serious I didn't research about them for long and I was a little busy thinking about something else.
I also thought that ill only speak to a Filipino representative and ill be able to speak in Tagalog. Unsurprisingly I know I have to speak English during the session because I was panicking at the sight that there would be 3 other participants in the invitation they were the founders of the organization.
I was so nervous in the call I fumbled everything I said, I come off incoherent and had many long pauses only to ask stupid questions just so I can prolong the interview to get it to where I wanted it to land but we didn't get there but thankfully I got through it. I hope at least I had a good last impression of saying goodbye thanking them for their time, advice and for what they do for filipinos. You know even though I wasnt able to articulate the idea to them, what gets me excited, what they can resonate with and stuff. Im still happy I get this experience. Next time I do something similar. I know better.
Moving on from the breaking of the laptop,school application and the interview.
These are the things that goes unexpected but more trivial:
Vynce cutting off it's bio word count. I have few things in mind and feelings about it what else, oh he has a new stamp!!! Ahhhhh greatly annoying.
Having an unexpected friend I guess?
From my decision to sign up on a tesda program. Today I also got rejected by the admin of the school to go to the school at 2pm or stay there until 3pm to conduct the interview. I also got my BIR card id today. Not to mention I also discovered a new route thanks to the new friend.
I also had 4 hours of sleep and let me tell you I stepped on a woman's shoes in front of me so bad I feel like she's going to slap me. I wasn't paying attention on the path ahead its wide and open meanwhile I still stepped on her shoe I feel so freaking bad. My friend and I we're both just heading home. We separated ways and I was alone feeling tired, disappointed and worried and freaking step on a shoe I felt like it almost came off her foot ahhhhh. What's happening this day.
This week tho. The most helpful thing I probably did if I get it is applying to Google cloud credit program of google for startups. I never thought I would reconsider it I mean I saw it before but didn't think much of it because I thought it's going to take them weeks or months to decide if they'll give you credit, turns out it's just a few days to a week or a little more maybe. I was trying to save the bank balance on a new BDO account so I can get the card and use it for a new cloud credit. Unexpectedly the computer screen broke down so I have to spend the account balance on a monitor.
A lot of unexpected happenings this week since I published the production app on january 2. It's insanely frustrating but I don't know what I could've done without the computer's fall out now i have more to look forward because i had more time to wonder but I did feel lost and wondered if god ever feel excited or worried for people for whats about to happen or does he go through the motions with us?
