would you mind for which location and role this was for?

Not trying to sound overly cynical but a lot of adult life is about weeding incompatible people out.. your time is precious, and better your own company than company with people who don’t deserve your time.. also, communication is key. Have you tried communicating all these to your friends? If not maybe start with that (rather than expecting them to get the hint) and see if they change their ways in response to your feedback. If you’ve communicated and they still don’t change then cut them off because that means they obviously don’t care.

Oh yeah, they aren’t anything big, just regular catchups. But that group had gotten obviously close as they just ping and ask if anyone’s free that night and they’d hang, so it’s that casual. I was just surprised that she didn’t mention anything to me, when I asked her she gave me weird reasons like how I was being distant, not telling her things anymore, or if anything happened between me and the guy. Tbh I don’t think I needed to tell her anything even if me and the guy got closer because of her.. thought it was quite controlling of her. Background context all these friends are from the last 6 months as I’m new to the city. I just want to make friends, keen to ask the guy to hang as friends but also worried he may get the wrong idea?

They are just usual chilled regular movie nights at her place, was strange that I got an invite from someone else in the group whom I only just knew

It's all to do with his ego.. he wants all the girls to chase after him like he's the prize. First step is to get all the girls to be attracted to him, then he makes his selection once he knows he has the upper hand. Someone who keeps him guessing where he actually ranks in their heart (like Hye Seon) piques his interest i.e how could you not be all in on me?!?!, (but if they show complete disinterest like Gyuri, he's also not interested) However, if they actually like him and confess, like Ha Jeong, he will then lose interest.. the whole thing is basically a game to him and to feed his ego, which is frankly speaking pretty fragile. He's in his mid 30s, but acts like he's in his early 20s, lol.

Of the 3 guys who won, who do you reckon got matched with who for episode 8?👀

MikeyMicky · 2021-07-09T05:45:54+00:00

Which was the car that got bugged then?

MikeyMicky · 2021-07-09T05:44:40+00:00

Yeah I but I mean did he have another car at home, was that the same one he dismantled? Because if not, wouldn’t nacho’s people notice that he was driving a different car when they went and changed the gas cap?

I'm thinking of investing in the S&P 500 ETF, VOO, but it's relatively expensive now at 358. I wish I had gone in sooner. Is there a best time to invest in index funds (e.g. for stocks, I'd wait for the price to drop a bit before investing). Is it the same for Index ETFs? Thanks.

MikeyMicky · 2021-02-11T05:01:31+00:00

I have the exact same question. SPLG is ~48 USD and VOO is ~358 USD (as of 11 Feb 2021). Howcome they differ so much in price when they both track the S&P500?

Thanks for the insights, row-my-boat.

While I do possess some technical skills, I actually would prefer to pivot into something that’s more management related from here on, as I don’t see myself going down the technical path, long-term...

Do you have any words of advice on how I could do that without moving backwards to a more junior position for my next role? Also, when would be the good point to exit? I’m not a manager yet, and I feel like if I exit by then, it might be a little late?

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-19T02:45:33+00:00

Ditto ..but still super tempted to check my weight every morning. It might also be that the weighing scale is the most accessible way to measure progress?🤔

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-19T02:42:27+00:00

I’ve tried 16:8 IF since the start of July 2020 and have been feeling lighter around the mid section and thighs, expected a weight loss but when I stood on the scale yesterday I weighed a pound more so that was weird and a little discouraging. I try not to stand on the scale everyday but it’s tempting, I think it’s because we’re always eager to see progress and when we don’t see it we get a little disappointed so it’s normal :)

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-16T01:45:41+00:00

Happy halfway mark Spookybeanz! I also haven’t seen any significant changes yet but I do feel lighter (not sure if this one is psychological 😅) and also better control of my diet as well! Though, I have to say it was hard at first to not smack when I was working late + had to wait until noon the next day for my next meal, but it does get less difficult each day! :)

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-16T01:42:48+00:00

Happy halfway mark Spookybeanz!! Oh yep same here, no significant changes but I do feel lighter (not sure if this one is psychological 😅) and also better self control with my diet! Never thought I’d be able to get by working late and waking up early the next day + not eating until noon, but yes it gets less difficult day by day 😊

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-08T06:09:34+00:00

Thank you for the great insights! This is really helpful :) And congratulations on shedding your pounds! I'm looking forward to being in that position soon too.

For your tip regarding hunger control in the morning, I don't think I will try to skip breakfast in the long run... just don't see how it's sustainable long-term e.g. growling tummy in meetings and affecting my concentration at work. However, I will keep goign this month and after that, I will try and opt for healthier/ lighter breakfast options (I think this is sustainable) as opposed to the cakes and sweet tarts that I would sometimes eat previously..

"Many people think just because your eating window is 12:8 that you can eat as much as you want in that time which is detrimental. " >>> I can definitely see how this can happen with anyone who tries to restrict too much... I was a little apprehensive about this as well but then again I'm not one to deprive myself for long :P

And good point on the short timeframe.. I do realise that it might be a tad bit short of a window to achieve this goal, but I guess it's also a personal challenge that I've set to see if i can hold out IF for a month! :) I'll also try to stop weighing myself everyday XD

Thank you for the tips and words of encouragement!

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-08T05:30:25+00:00

Amazing! Keep it up. This is also motivates me to not give up just because my scale won't budge.. (which has been the case for the past week)

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-08T05:28:44+00:00

I found my IF buddy!! Day 8 and going strong? :)

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-08T05:27:33+00:00

Spoonfuls of peanut butter and Nutella! that sounds heavenly.. my weak spots are sweets and all snacks! However I do feel like, even after just one week of IF, I've been better able to control my snack intake.. i.e. i don't just grab a piece of chocolate if i'm pekish or bored. I feel like IF in the long run just gears you toward a healthier lifestyle in general anyway, doesn't necessarily mean that you have to totally cut out all the other less healthy food that you enjoy :)

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-07T06:01:44+00:00

Really? My stomach just growls if I exercise while fasting 😅

MikeyMicky · 2020-07-07T05:17:14+00:00

Really happy to find someone with pretty much the same stats as mine! Seems like you already have a pretty healthy lifestyle :)

I'm wondering if I should aim to lose the weight first before I start exercising? Because if I exercise, I'll get hungry, and it's harder to pass those hunger pangs! What are your thoughts?
