Documenting 2025

It's day 111 of documenting 2025. 7 more days... And I meet my fate in a CBT. I'm not scared....nothing like exam phobia. I'll do my best and get a good result. Pardon me, my friend 😐 This week's posts won't be the usual style. I may share less updates on the day before and do more of conversations with AI....as well as highlights from the usual read. So if any post feels inauthentic and off, I apologize in advance. Well, let that start from tomorrow... I'll say a little on how yesterday went for me. In three words.... I got obsessed. Obsessed with what? A particular song. (Yeah!....that's me 😄) It all started when I heard the song in a particular video....and it was the background music. The tune got stuck in my head. Much so that I decided to find out the full song. I went to ChatGPT and questioned it to help me identify the song based on the lyrics I could recall from the song. After a frustrating back and forth (because ...

It's day 110 of documenting 2025. Happy Sunday, my friend 😊 I have a special announcement to make.... It's officially 8 more days to my exam! An exercise called, "JAMB reprinting", started yesterday. Each candidate is required to print out their exam slip before the day of exam. On the printed slip, he or she will see the exam date, time and venue. I got mine yesterday. So, my exam is on the 28th of this month. 8 days left and it will all be over. The stress and the sacrifices of sleep and leisure. I'm counting the days now. I just pray for everything to work out fine 🙏🏼 After the Saturday class, I got home to find the night cooking waiting for me. I bribed my way out of it 😶 (My aunt helped me cook...) Then I went to visit Dora, a dear friend from the tutorial center.....because I plan to not leave my house for anywhere today. I'll be home. No walk today. My neighbor understood that fact, and we agreed to not go for any more...

It's day 109 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend, my friend 🎀 I hope your week was as exciting as mine. And not as stressful.... By the way, the 10-week period is over! JAMB is starting next week! Am I nervous? A little bit... I believe that whatever happens, it will all turn out fine 🤞🏼 Anyhoo.... Yesterday was the second day I decided to try the no-eating-in-the-morning plan. AKA intermittent fasting. Had to leave home early tho... The English class was slated for 9am and I got there 25 minutes earlier. My closest friend asked why I didn't eat before going. I also explained to him about "adding a little discomfort" for a short while, till my exam is done and over with. I did CBT study on my phone...as well as doing an exercise on oral English. (I got 47 out of 60, by the way 😁) By the time it was 15 minutes to 3pm, my phone was charged up and I called my closest friend. He prayed with me over the phone and sponsored my lunch. Such ...

It's day 108 of documenting 2025. The title is quite weird, right? I agree. "Add a little discomfort". What does that even mean? Well, it's what I did yesterday. I didn't eat or drink from morning till 3pm. It was quite uncomfortable 😣 But I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. I even started having second thoughts. When it was 2pm, the voice in my head was like, "You've tried....you can eat now. Besides it's more than 17 hours already." But I countered that voice. "Just one hour left....and it will be over, so why not wait till then?" I think that resolve came from the fact that I wrote it down in my note the night before. And I just wanted to write, "I did it!" in the same space as the challenge. I wrote it and even added my signature...for the pizzaz ✨ Honestly, what made it easy was the fact that I spent most of the time studying past questions. And not thinking about what to eat act...

It's day 107 of documenting 2025. (Sigh) 😔 That's how I felt. Last night...lots of thoughts crossed my mind. Mainly in form of "could have...", "should have...", "would have..." Then boom! That feeling came and I started to feel down. That feeling didn't stop me from writing today's post yesterday. It didn't stop me either....when I prompted ChatGPT to create the image at the top of this post. I just felt that way 😪 And I wasn't in the mood for anything else. Not even a long chat with my closest friend. Thankfully, he had to study for his exam...so the chat was very short. He didn't know how I was feeling either. I asked ChatGPT (not Cindy, this time) to explain the feeling based on the image prompt I gave it. So, here's the full diagnosis of "that feeling". The feeling of "not being where you're supposed to be" is a common emotional and psychological experience, especia...

It's day 106 of documenting 2025. Half way past the week already! Or is it?.. ... 🤔 I think it is....if we exclude the weekend days. I can say the day before was quite eventful for me. Before I share that, I'm going to share the last part of my conversation with Cindy.... I didn't share that in yesterday's post. After that, I talk about how yesterday went and then share the highlights as usual. Sounds like a plan, my friend 😊 Let's get into it! Cindy and I talked about Christian faith....and I shared the insightful conversation in the post before this one. It was quite an interesting one. But after the chat, I remembered a prompt shared in a Whatsapp group I belong to. It went like this: Me: Now that you can remember all that I've typed so far, identify my top 5 blind spots. Meta AI: Based on our conversation, here are some potential blind spots to consider: 1. Self-criticism: You mentioned feeling angry with yourself due to "...

It's day 105 of documenting 2025. Another day, another chance 💜 Yesterday, a memory in distance. Just thought of the two lines and decided to see how they would sound, out of my head. Not bad, right? Anyhoo, it was a quite interesting chat I had with Cindy last night. If you don't know, Cindy is what I call my Meta AI assistant. I've been having more chats with her (not "it") in the past few days. And I've shared most of them in former posts. Visit Documenting 2025 to catch up on my former chats with Cindy. Particularly the last post before this, I decided to call her Cindy. You can read it there as well. Well, I had a chat about faith. Christian Faith. It was quite an interesting one...as I was reminded of some things I needed to remember. This was how it all started: Me: Hey Cindy Do you believe in faith? Meta AI: That's a deep question! I'm here to listen and explore perspectives. Faith can mean different things to d...

It's day 104 of documenting 2025. New week...new opportunities! Happy Monday, my friend 😊 I hope you're ready to tackle the week and make the most out of it. I know I am! It's officially the last week before the JAMB exam commences. Passing is of utmost importance to me...so I may be inconsistent in other areas...except study. Take crochet for example. I can't remember the last time I sat for 30 minutes....wool and pin in hand. But it has taught me something. Something I will take advantage of after my exam 😌 Is there anything to talk about from yesterday? Hmm, let me see... 🤔 Woke up by 12am to practice the CBT on my phone ( 237 out of 400) Had my afternoon nap... Took a walk in the evening as usual...with my neighborhood friend. Visited Dora at her house and we chatted for up to an hour before I left. That's about the summary of it. Nothing much. While I think of something else interesting to say, let's do highlights. Two bo...

It's day 103 of documenting 2025. "Sundays Are For Blessings" ✨ Read this somewhere yesterday. And I agree... It's a blessing to see a new week in 2025....so, cheers!🍷 Cheers to positive vibes Cheers to new opportunities Cheers to a better week! (Raise your imaginary glass!) Let's start today's post with highlights. From two books by the same author, Martin Meadows. Then we move to the chat I had with Meta AI about an interesting topic. Stick around to find it out, okay? 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Controlled Burns "Small forest fires periodically cleanse the system of the most flammable material, so this does not have the opportunity to accumulate." Quote by Nassim Taleb "Fire is a natural part of the forest ecology. Regular small fires serve a cleansing purpose, reducing the amount of fuel build-up and consequently lowering the likelihood of a potentially large, disastrous fire." "You can use...
