For a while I thought I would comfortably write four essays on the blog this month, considering I had written two in one week, and... well, and one in the three weeks that followed it.
Yes, you know this position.
To be fair, the first few weeks of the month was a lull period. It's that unspoken of moment of rest immediately at the end of a big event - in this case, a trip to Cebu - and the preparations for the next one. Unspoken, because you're not really supposed to rest, are you? That's how capitalism works, and so on, and so forth.

I was wrong.
Specifically, I have misremembered all this time. My college graduation was not on the 20th of June, but rather, the 21st - the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, fifteen years ago today. There went the attempts at poetry when I was on the phone with Nat yesterday talking about the weekend.
I was back in La Salle over the weekend. A work thing. The things I've been going back to campus for before the lockdown - that certificate course - kicked off a year ago, but this was the first time we were having in-person classes, so I had to be there for photographs, and to say hello, and of course, to go back to the old stomping grounds.

I've been watching way too many videos about the Apple Vision Pro.
Not that I want one. I don't think I'd really want one, even if I had use for one, which I don't. But it's useful to know these things for you'll never know when you'll have to write about it.
Yes, AR/VR headsets have been around for a while - and I think I saw an Oculus Quest on sale a few mall trips ago - but Apple does have a thing for releasing something that will open a lot of people's minds about a particular technology. We may not all want a headset, but we'll have a better understand of what it can do. I mean, "it's not just a gamer thing." It might mean a wider acceptance of such hardware in fulfilling various tasks at warehouses, for instance. Imagine being able to see how much of a certain item is available in real time, without having to whip up a device for it. Well, you're already wearing the device, so there's that.

I'm sad today.
At this point, it's no longer because of that. At some point I will have to stop licking my wounds and move on, right?
I'm fairly certain that what I feel as I write this is not because of that. Much smaller things, actually. The Internet connection isn't working as well as it should, and someone tried to call me while I was taking a shower. Minor inconveniences, in the grand scheme of things. Trivial matters, even. The sort of thing I would still blow up in the past; the sort of thing I try my hardest not to have an outburst about now.
