 ## Introduction
-TODO add fun pictures and summary of the year plus the wedding prep photos
-TODO instagram stories
+Another eventful year! I managed to complete some big goals and make progress on on others. I somehow managed quite of few projects while still managing to work and deliver on big projects for CourseKey. There were many ups and downs. My parents' health as well as mine didn't do too well this year. However, we have slowly been turning things around and making it better. Like the usual, we still enjoyed our time and had fun. We traveled a bit and got to see some new places. We also got to enjoy some fun events and activities. We also attended a concerts and events. And more importantly, my sister got married and started her next chapter in life!

 ## Goals achieved this year
 ### Complete the estate plan
-Last year I got the plan together and started working through it. This year I am wrapped things up. I dealt with the big complex items such us dealing with treasury and California property. Almost everything is now owned by my trust protecting and shielding it from probate. The only remaing asset that needs to be transfered is a startup investment through a fund directly.

 ## Goals NOT achieved this year
 ### Find a life partner
-I did meet a few people and went on a few dates. However, I didn't find the one for me. I did learn a few things about myself and what I am looking for. I also learned that I need to focus on myself, my health, my career, and my family before I can commit to a relationship. So I decided to pause dating till next year.

 ## Projects
 ### Smart business cards
-Instead of wasting paper and having to update it every time something changes, I decided to create a smart business card. I created a [virtual business card](/card) that has all my contact information and links to my social media. I also created a QR code that links to the website. My friend who runs a business of printing cards, worked with me to creat NFC business cards. Now I can just hand people smart business card and they can scan it and get all my contact information. I have one card on me, another in my car, one in my bag and a couple at home, so I am always ready.

 ### Health and Fitness
-I thought I was doing good on my health until I went to my new primary care doctor with the latest labs. It turned out I don't have near enough muscle mass that I should to support my body. All the work from home has taken a toll on my body. I am now working on building muscle mass and getting back in shape. I am also working on improving my diet and eating habits. Since then I have gotten more active and have been taking care of my body more. I have enrolled in a gym and I have been sneaking into my sister's work to use thier inbody machine which gives a breakdown of muscle mass, fat mass and water mass. I have been tracking my progress and I am happy to say I have been making progress. I have been able to increase my muscle mass and decrease my fat mass. I am still not where I want to be but I am getting there.

-At first my fitness journey started by just playing the Ring Fit Adventure on the Nintendo switch. Then I found this [workout program](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmM0L7IBXrY&t=267s) using the game. Eventually, I upgraded and got adjustable dumbbells and started working out at home using [Dumbbell Workout at Home app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dumbbellworkout.dumbbellapp.homeworkout). Although those programs were a great start I needed to do more resistance training to build muscles and use havier weights. So I ended up enrolling in the gym and found the [Hevy app](https://www.hevyapp.com/) which is a great to keep track of my workouts and routines at the gym. It comes with good routines to use but after using them for a bit and doing more research, I build my own routine using ChatGPT that are more tailered to me and to my need.

 - Day 4: Core and Cardio
 
-Basically it is a customized version of the Push Pull Legs routines that are common. The exercies in each vary depending on the muscle focus and what machines are available, as well as I plan on changing them every few months to not get bored from doing the same thing everytime. However, you will notice I have an extra day for core and cardio. That is because I want to make sure I am actually healthy and not muscler! Given my sedentary lifestyle, I use one day to make sure I get the blood flowing and the heart pumbing real good. I even do 10mins cardio each day as a warmup before working out. As for the core, I had none... so I needed to build some muscle there and improve my balance and flexibility. Finally you will notice I have forearms exercies sprinkled in on each day. That is because I reach failure because of my forearms instead of the actual muscles I am training. So I am trying to build some muscle there to be able to lift more and get better results.

 ### Parents health
-My parents health hasnt been the best. My mom has been having issues with her legs, feet, back, nerves, teeth and even her inner ear. She has been going to doctors and getting treatment. However, it has been a slow process and she is still not fully recovered. My dad has been having issues with his back and neck. He has been getting better. I have been helping them with thier appointments and making sure they are getting the care they need. I have also been helping them by going with them and translating. I have also been helping them with thier diet and making sure they are eating healthier.

 ### New PC
 My PC was no longer handling all the work that I was putting it through. Running multiple virtual machines and an advanced IDE (integrated development environment) while browsing the web was too much for it to handle. It would randomly crash and freeze causing me problems at work. So I upgraded to a new computer and no longer had those issues making me more productive. Especially since now the new computer was way more powerful I was able to run some AI tools on my computer to help me with my work.
 ### Cloud storage cleanup
-Through out the years I have been using different cloud storage providers and services. I have been using them for different purposes and projects. However, since I got a new PC, I decided to do a cleanup and get rid of all the services that I no longer use. I was using Dropbox, google drive, one drive and my personal self hosted cloud storage. I moved everything into my personal cloud storage and kept some stuff in google drive. The others are still there just in case I need a bit more storage to share things with people but I dont want to give them access to my personal storage.

-Since I got a new computer I had to transfer my docker images to it. Before I started the process I cleaned up the images by upgrading and getting a better understanding of how some services worked. Now that I had a better I dea of how they worked I cleaned up the images backups and transfered them to my new computer.

 ### S-001
-I gave my old computer to my parents and thier old computer was still good and could do things. Instead of donating it I figured I could continue using it. So I truned it into my personal server that can run most of the docker images for me while my personal computer can free up the resources for more fun projects. In the process of setting the server up, I made it securly publically available. That means I can access all my services from anywhere in the world, given I remember my secure passwords 😅 Additionally, my new server is setup so it automatically turns on and off on a schedule and can be managed remotely from anywhere.

 ### Photoprism
-Google photos started charging for its servie and I wasnt happy with it having my pictures and charging me for it. Instead I found [Photoprism](https://www.photoprism.app/) that has all of the features and even some more that I wanted. So I set up my own Photoprism server and got all the tools in place to sync my pictures across all my devices and my automated backup storage! I love the service so much, it has facial recognition, AI to classify pictures and ability to plot pictures on a map just to name a few of the awesome features included.

 ### Crypto taxes tracker
-I have had my script that calculates things from my crypto trades for a while now. However, I never got around to making sure the calculations were correct. This year I decided to get it to where it needs to be. I added the ability to verify everything is tracked correctly and has the correct cost basis. Additionally, I updated the oudated and deprecated libraries and dependencies.
-Addditionally, I added the ability to sync my crypto assets directly to my master financials sheet along with accurate costbasis. As well as I have updated the master sheet to fetch prices in real time for all my crypto assets giving me a more accurte picture of my networth.

 ### New Phone
-My phone was good, however my mom's phone was not. So I decided to upgrade my phone and give her my old phone since I was due for an upgrade. I got the new Samsung S23 Ultra and I am loving it except maybe for its massive size. The camera is amazing and the battery life is great. With a new phone, I also did a clean up of the apps and moved everything from my old phone.
-### Sister's wedding preperation
-This project was the theme of this year for the most part! There were so many things that needed to be done it was a huge effort and involved the whole family! I helped a bit with planning, suggesting ideas, shopping, finding things online and using my multiple talents to make it a bit less stressful for my sister. I became the DJ, chauffeur, delivery man, event organizer, groomman, assistant photographer, stage light manager, security guard, dancer and probably a few more things that I don't even remember. Although, it was crazy busy and a bit choatic it was fun and worth it to see my sister start her next chapter in life.

-I have DJ-ed before for church and even before then. However, for my sister's Henna I was originally going to do it without the DJ setup/equipment! It was going to be just my laptop and nothing else other than a janky bluetooth speakers setup. Luckily, we managed to get DJ equipement and my other sister took care of the music selection greatly simplifying my life! Since I didn't have to stress about DJ-ing too much, I took on another project which is trying to be an entire band without any musical or rythm skills 😅

The best part was the [PC version](https://www.sofeh.com/music-studio-windows/) has alot more features and can actually program instruments and create my own music! After spending some time with it, I realized it was an overkill and I was going a bit overboard with it! I found something simpler to use instead of a full keyboard to replace a band. This cool [virtual sound effects board](https://www.myinstants.com/en/index/us/) to use in case it was needed.

-We all know what ChatGPT does and how useful it can be. To get better at using it I found this [awesome website](https://learnprompting.org/) that teaches everything needed to create awesome prompts. When feeling lazy, I use [this website](https://www.snackprompt.com/) which has awesome prompts ready to use. My main use for ChatGPT is to help me with writting/improving my important emails/messages. I have also used it to create my own training program which has helped me not only build muscle but also lose weight! I have also used it to help me with work, especially drafting some technical documents for compliance such as business continuity and disaster recovery plans.

 ### Stable diffusion
-With the explotion of ChatGPT and generative AI, I couldn't help it but get interested an want to play with the technology. I dove a bit into image generation using stable diffusion especially since my new computer could handle generating images and actually produce someting that looks nice. I tried training different models to generate my face however it didn't go as planned. That was due to the fact that my computer isn't powerful to do deep training and quick trainings don't produce accurate pictures. However, over time I learned a few tricks and ways to generate images while keeping realistic faces.

 ### Homeowner's Association board issues
-Our community had quite a bit of drama, a board member quit and people were fighting and picking sides. My neighbors knew I was more logical and didn't pick sides so they elected me to sit on the board and help solve the community problems! The main reason for the drama is the new commercial building next door. Basically, the previous board sued them for trespassing and they counter sued us and we were getting burried in legal fees. I got in and started working on reaching a settlment with them and managed to get it done. Not only did I manage to dismiss both lawsuits but also got us $20K in compensation to help with our legal fees as well as worked with our insurance to waive legal fees regarding the settlement. I also managed to get us on good terms with our neighbors so we are no longer constantly causing problems for eachother.

 ### Homeowner's Policies
-Another issue and part of the drama involved the street parking. So I and the other board members worked together to draft a parking policy to address the community's concerns. We drafted it, got it implemented and enforced which has made our streets much better. As well as implemented collection policy since we didn't have one and each case had a different process, we put the policy in place to be followed for everything. Finally, we also implement policies regarding social media communication and posting on our community facebook group. Especially due to all the drama and how people were picking sides and arguing online.

 ### Garage Door improvements
-Our garage door has gotten quite a bit louder than when we first moved in. I realized that it wasnt just an issue with keeping it maintained and oiled but that there are few things that needed to be done. I gave it a full oiling so the mechanical parts move more easily with less noise. Then I tightened a bunch of screws that have come loose from usage over the last couple years. Once I did that, most of the noise was gone except for when closing at the very end it would slam the door shut. So I dug the manual for the garage door opener and reporgramed it so it shuts properly and doesn't slam it as hard causing the screws to come loose.

 ### Volunteering
-It has been a while since I volunteered for something reguraly. It is always nice to volunteer my time as it gets me out of my room, meet people, help others and helps me destress! When I found the opportunity to help out at church with the bible study to teach kids I took the opportunity. Helping teach kids can be fun, challenging and most importantly rewarding. Additionally, I also get to learn a bit more as well. And before thanksgiving we got the day off and it aligned with volunteering schedule for Three Square! So I took the opportunity to help out and feed the elderly. That was great as well especially since I got to hear some of thier stories, the lives that they have lived and make them happy by serving them food.

 ### Aramic class
-Although I learned Aramic in school when I was a kid, I had completly forgotten it because I havent used it since I was 12. So when our church offered the class to learn the foundations of the langauage, I took the opportunity and signed up for the class. I can now read and write not just speak it. I can actually now follow along with the priest's prayer during mass.

 ## Projects that didn't go anywhere
 ### Car upgrades
 I got some LED light strips that I was planning to install to make my car look better. However, after taking my whole car apart to see the electrical wires and figure out how to connect everything. I realized it was going to be a lot of risky work and I didn't have the time to do it and didn't want to damage anything. So I decided to just put everything back together and shelf the project.
 ### AC Surge Protector
-During the annual HVAC inspection, I was informed that the builder as it is expected nowadays took shortcuts and didn't install a protector for the AC unit. So instead of paying the company hundreds of dollars to install it, I bought protector and found [this guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWozc-woHfY) on how to install it. However, the weather got hot real quick and didn't get the chance to install it during the spring. And during the fall, we were so busy with my sister's wedding that I forgot about and got so busy after that I didn't get to it this year.

 ## Reading Materials this year 
-I don't think I have done much reading outside of things related to work and/or the projects I worked on. Alot of my extra reading was related to the projects I worked on from fitness and health all the way to generative AI articles and tutorials.

 ## Podcasts
-There hasn't been any changes to the [list](/blog/yearly-recap-2021#podcasts). I am barely keeping up with the podcasts, that's mainly due to the lack of a commute. However, I have been listening to some podcasts during my workouts. Listening during workouts however is a bit challenging since sometimes I focus on counting and miss what the podcast said or viseversa and forget my counting.

 ## Month by month highlights
 ### January
-This year did not start on a good note... confirming the pattern. We had a planned major infrastucture upgrade for CourseKey that causes down time and required AWS's involvement and coordenation. Although, things went very smoothly on our end, AWS broke things and thier communication was terrible since it was literally hours into the new year. Because of that had to go in reset the systems manually and rebuild two replication servers. We barely managed to have everything up and running right before the end of the maintencen window we communicated to our users.

-San Fransico was the first travel destination, it is always nice to travel however it was rough this time. The reason for that was because had to review the hard dicisions we made and pull the trigger on them. For me, that meant letting go of almost half of my engineering team! Eventhough, I knew about what needed to be done it was still not an easy thing to do.

-My mom's feet/legs werent doing so well, while we continued to go to doctors and get it addressed, her dentures no longer were working. In addition to all of those issues, her remaining teeth were in a very bad shape. Because of all of that, we decided to do an all on four denture implant.

-Work has been rough due to not having half the team! Additionally, the Cortex project that was deployed by a team that was eliminated was incomplete and implemented incorrectly. That meant, we had to redo and fix different parts of it.

 ### March
 Most of this month was spent focused on fixing Cortex especially since we learned there were more problems than we originally thought. We pretty much had to rebuild the entire product (Cortex).
 
-I did take a day to change things up and recharge a bit. I got to help prep for a surprise party for the preist's birthday party, attend fancy dinner with firends and attend the party all in one day!

We started with 626 Night Market which was awesome and filled with bunch of street food, sadly it was very pricy! Then we checked out the Anime night market which was fun and made me realize how far behind I was on anime :(.

-Work got crazier and some big changes happend which meant I had to step up and take on more responsibilities. Our chief product officer was changed with a new person who didnt start for two weeks later. I was in charge of making sure we didnt drop the ball anywhere within product or engineering. Once the new executive started I helped with onboarding and knowledge transfer. I officially became the Chief Archetict and was no longer in charge of the entire product and engineering teams by the end of the month.

 As for dating, I realized although the girl that I met was amazing and could have been perfect, she wasn't the one for me. So I ended things and decided to focus on myself, my career and pause dating till next year. I knew the rest of the year would be busy and chaotic and I needed to focus on that before I commit to starting a relationship.

Before we started our cruise, we got upgraded to a balcony room which is more spacious! We spend the first few days at sea with nothing but water surrounding us. The ocean was a bit rough sometimes which made a bunch of people seasick. Even so there was a lot of fun activities and events on the ship that the time flew by.

After that we enjoyed the Waikiki beach and the touristy areas around it and did some more shopping. The next day was a fun but stressful tour around the island! We got to try a bunch of local foods, see some cool areas and learn more about the island and the people in our Sights and Bites tour. Although the tour was great and fun, our tour bus broke down on the opposite side of the island, so we kind of got stranded away from our ship and we needed to be back before it left! We got lucky and found an Uber who was willing to take us to the other side of the island and we made it back to the ship just in time.

They did a medical helicopter pickup which required us to evacuate the back of the ship in case the helicopter crashed into us. Because of that we were delayed more than 6 hours which meant we might not make it to our next stop in Ensenada Mexico on time. However, our captain decided to floor it and we made it to Ensenada on time. We got to enjoy the city and do some shopping and eating. I got to enjoy the best fresh authentic churros I have ever had!
