June 2 - June 8: Slack Week

A school week in the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) starts on Saturday and ends on Friday.

On June 2, I submitted a Photography blog--the last of the activities I had for the whole week. I multi-checked my courses for any activities, and there were none. Since UPOU releases new schoolwork every Saturday, I knew this was my chance to slack off to the max. So I'll narrate what I have been doing these past days.
Note that I may not remember some details.

June 2

I usually do schoolwork starting at sunset since, again, I have the Night Owl trait. The sun burns out my physical, mental, and creative energy; it's like I'm a vampire. This Photography blog is no different.
I actually started the blog the day before and wrote 700 out of the required 800 words in about 2 hours starting on sunset. I was surprised since I'm overall uninterested in photography and I despise schoolwork--I have a difficulty writing even 200 words. It's funny because several of my blog posts, as well as my Lunatic Blade-exclusive Annihilation journal, can have more than 500 words. "Fighting Addiction" has over 2800 words--I think that's my longest post so far.
Anyways, back to June 2: I slacked off by playing video games from the start of my store shift (10 AM) until sunset so I would have minimum boredom. (I ate lunch, of course.) This felt safer for me to do since I only had 100 words left to write, and Mom didn't know that my Photography blog was due on this day.
In the blog, I ranted about my professor's teaching style, and narrated the ways I practice photography.
Unlike other professors, who just stand there to assign and check student work silently, this professor is someone who gives zero F-words and talks straight into the student's face as he checks work.
On the other hand, I shared how I use elements of design, mainly texture, color, and the rule of thirds, as well as how I mess around with ISO, shutter speed, and aperture.
Anyway, I finally submitted it at some point at night.

Mom left the house for an extended period of time on this day to hang out with her old classmates, so hooray, no authority to annoy me! I'm FREEEEEEEEE!!!
I opened the store at 7:30 AM, which is slightly earlier than the usual 8:00 AM opening time (i.e. Mom's morning shift). From there, I played Grand Theft Auto to the max, with a bit of Pokémon and Minecraft. (I did very little staff work because of lag and bad weather.)
I also cleaned up my earlier blog posts.
Problem is, Mom did not give our kitten, named Road Rage, food to last for the whole day. So Road constantly clung to me, begging non-stop for food. For lunch, I cooked 4 pieces of McDonald's Crispy Chicken Fillet provided by Purefoods--two for me, one for my brother (since he already ate noodles), and one for Road since I thought that was reasonably large for a kitten. But Road wouldn't freaking stop begging me, so I locked Road out. It's not like Road will die of hunger anytime soon, anyway. And we had no food left afterwards.

June 4

This was my brother Ivann's first day of hell school. I didn't pay much attention since I'm lazy and we hate each other, but I hate school in general just like him. Wait for his next blog post to know the story about it, but let's just say I'm mildly surprised and disappointed because of his extra work.
Other than this, I don't remember what happened.

June 5

This afternoon, I told Mom that I will work out and watch Deadpool 2 with Ivann.
But I snuck out and took pictures around my local park while walking and running around like a lunatic. It was great cardio, thank you very much.

I like close-up pics of plants; they're easy targets for harmony and balance

ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/60 sec.
This is what a battle background in Pokémon Generation 8 should look like
Deadpool 2 was starting soon, so Ivann and I rushed to the cinema on-foot (we don't like taking vehicles), picked up our tickets, and thankfully, we arrived while the trailers were showing.
The main villain and plot were OK, but I mainly came in there for the jokes and the swearing. I understood 90% of them, even though I just fake-laughed.
There were SO many freaking references, especially DC references, for some weird reason. Deadpool even said "I'm Batman."

June 6 (i.e. the day I wrote this)

Well, freaking finally, Mom went to the supermarket. I've been having boring food lately, other than the McDonald's Crispy Chicken Fillet. (I didn't look at what she bought though, but one thing's for sure: I lifted with my back)
I haven't really done much other than this blog post. I just ate Filipino-style noodles and read Facebook. So I'll just discuss what the muffin-dogs is in my head right now.
I haven't posted My Opinion on Every Pokémon for 3 weeks in a row. I'm just too freaking lazy!!! And, based on the number of Pokémon rated 5 or 6 out of 10, I don't feel motivated to continue it.
Right now, I just wanna play more video games. I'm also brainstorming plans for future photography practice, in case the professor throws in something that TRIGGERS me.

June 7

bad day; lots of family fights and arguments

June 8

I bought my brother a burger to bribe him for forgiveness since I always annoy him.
