Day's Activities:

The day started at 5:00 AM with my usual routine of weights and stretching. By 6:00 AM, I was mopping and preparing vegetables for today’s menu—Bistek Beef Tagalog. I sent out billings and emails to Ellie Guerrero to provide a bit of tutorial for substituting my class at 7:00 AM. At 9:30 AM, I prepared to meet Carolyn at the bank. We had a quick meeting, paid with cash for the condo, and received the paperwork around 10:00 AM.

By lunchtime, I met Iza at Dokki, where we had lunch, spending ₱700. Then, I headed to the gallery to get some pastries for ₱780. Afterward, I went shopping at SM to buy a mixer and grinder for ₱3,999, which was charged to my Metrobank account.

By 3:00 PM, I was home, fixing things, reviewing papers, and making lessons. I also had a discussion with Huong regarding the busy work and future lessons. At 5:00 PM, I had my class with Natchan. From 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM, I trained Ellie Guerrero and had her observe my classes, which I paid her ₱1,000 for.

Later in the evening, I had Moon and Quynh’s class from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM. After that, I finished some homework tasks for Shirley and did some journaling. I wrapped up my day with 10 pages of Bunny by Mona Awad at 11:00 PM before sleeping.

Today was significant because I became a condo owner. I received the keys and visited the unit before meeting Iza for lunch. The idea of owning a condo is surreal, and with all the paperwork finalized, I’m feeling a bit haunted by the financial magnitude of it all. But I am securing myself for the future, making sure all bases are covered.

By 3, I was ready to dive into 90 Days in London, putting down 1,000 words for Chapter 5. Prepped for the evening classes around 4:30, then taught Natchan at 5. Bells Insight classes kept me busy from 6 to 9, and Sa’s class wrapped up the evening at 10.

Finished the day with a late walk, some quick chores, my skincare routine, and journaling. Relaxed with Bunny by Mona Awad before bed, getting through 10 more pages.

November 6, 2024

Started the day with the usual morning routine at 6 AM—washed up, did some laundry, and prepped lessons for Cristiane. Had my class with her at 7 AM, and then got straight into meal prepping tofu sisig at 8.

Worked on Busy Books at 9 to finish Page 1, aiming to keep things progressing. At 10, I had a meeting with Huong, who brought up the idea of adding two more students. I agreed, although part of me is content with the wealth I’ve built up. But a steady job still feels good to have, so I went along with it.

Classes with Carla went smoothly from 11 to 12:30. I got a payment from SEC for ₱6,250.00, which is a nice boost. After a quick lunch at 12:30, I walked to 7/11 for some fresh air—felt tempted to buy an alkaline battery but held off for now.

Back home, I focused on Busy Books again at 2:30, finishing up Page 2. Then, at 3:30, I wrote 500 words for Chapter 4 of 90 Days in London. Walked back home around 4:30 to clear my head a bit.

Later, lesson planning took me through the early evening, and I had a bit of free time around 5:30. Bells Insight classes filled my schedule from 6 to 7:30, followed by a focused session on emails to confirm interviews with potential teachers. I'll be interviewing them tomorrow, so I made sure everything was in order.

Watched Brothers Sun during some downtime. It’s set in Taiwan, which feels close to my upcoming trip. Plus, one of the characters reminded me of Albert with his voice—funny, but the traditional "Chinese lore" themes were a bit much.

The Shein package arrived today, and I paid ₱256 for it. After handling emails, I dove into reviewing the condo documents and messaged Carolyn to discuss payment options. I suggested a bank transfer instead of withdrawing a large amount at once; feels safer that way. I also got a message from the lawyer reminding me to register for tax and AMLC to avoid any issues.

Ended the day with a calm moment, reading 10 pages of Bunny by Mona Awad.

November 5, 2024 TUESDAY

Date: November 5, 2024

Daily Activity: Today was quite productive! I started by paying my Converge bill for ₱1,620. I tried reaching out to Albert about our plans, but it seems he might be MIA. I’m also in touch with Carla regarding her schedule, and I’ll give Albert a few more days to respond. If I don’t hear back, I’ll return that time to Carla.

After handling the bills, I sent them out and then headed out for some grocery shopping. I took a little break at a cafe, which was nice. I also reached out to some real estate agents about condo units. I’m planning to check out a unit tomorrow at Brent; it’s listed at ₱8M for a 2BR, which seems like a good starting point.

Once I got home, I cooked bibimbap for dinner. Ran kept asking about our upcoming trip, but I couldn’t entertain too many questions since I was busy.

In the meantime, I started reviewing applicants for teaching positions. I checked in with Gail about her schedule to see if she could cover for me. She hesitated initially but eventually agreed.

After my classes, I reached out to three applicants and scheduled interviews with them for this week. I also messaged the realtor, so I’ll be meeting with them tomorrow afternoon after Carla’s class.

I’m feeling super awake and energized! With this newfound wealth, it’s hard to sleep. My top priorities are safety and ensuring a continuous flow of wealth.

Expenses:

Converge bill: ₱1,620

Groceries: ₱879

Transportation: ₱314

Date: November 3, 2024

Daily Activity: I spent today setting up my new phone, and wow, it’s amazing! I posted photos of my recent hauls online but, of course, I won’t reveal myself just yet.

I had some discussions with Iza about our potential business. I think it would be better if we worked together as partners. Kylie and I also had a productive chat about our plans.

In between, we had lessons with Sa. I finally got around to reading The Bunny today. I also ordered pizzas for ₱2,400 from outside—definitely need to watch my weight!

After classes with the girls, I started thinking that maybe I will quit teaching next year if the business goes well. I spent the entire night searching for condo units, excited about the possibilities.

Later in the evening, I had a meeting with Kylie. Our first agenda points were:

Find a suitable space for our business.

Discuss how much I will pay Kylie if she joins as an employee to help me manage.

Identify potential suppliers for our shop.

We agreed to meet again on Wednesday to dive deeper into these discussions.

I also checked my flight details and spent the whole night booking with Ransley. I haven't paid yet but have bookmarked everything. Our first stop is Taiwan for three days starting November 18, followed by three days in Hong Kong (though I might not visit Joanne after all). Then it's off to Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa, and Da Nang) for about a week, and afterward, we’ll explore Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia before wrapping things up in December.

Additionally, I contracted some people to install CCTV for security and asked Kuya Christ to repair the machine and the sink pipes.

Expenses:

Pizzas: ₱2,400

Other expenses today: ₱2,000

Date: November 2, 2024

Daily Activity: I woke up to a flurry of messages from applicants on Upwork and Facebook. I spent about an hour reviewing their applications, specifically looking for candidates with names similar to mine, Ely, or starting with "L."

Today was also a cleaning day for me! I added “fix the house” to my to-do list while I look for condo units and a new house. I reached out to Iza regarding the business idea, but she wasn’t sure about it. I also contacted Kylie about potentially opening a shop together. I’m willing to fund it, but I’d like her to be my partner, and she agreed! We plan to meet next month to discuss everything.

When Ran came home, I shared my travel plans for the month, and he was super excited about it!

I realized I need to open another bank account just for pleasure and shopping, so I’ll keep using my Metrobank account for that.

Afterward, I headed back to the mall for some shopping. Here’s what I picked up at Fully Booked:

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami - ₱899

Ueno Station - ₱999

A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki - ₱999

Red Bean Paste - ₱799

Crime and Punishment - ₱659

Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami - ₱649

Scrapbooking supplies (lettering labels, stickers) - ₱588

They were all staring at me like I was crazy with my haul!

Next, I went to Uniqlo, where I bought:

2 puffer jackets (black and blue) - ₱2,599 each

Underwear worth ₱4,000

Then I headed to Chris Sports and bought another set of weights for ₱689. At the shoe center, I treated myself to:

Samba shoes - ₱8,000

New Balance shoes - ₱8,000

Reebok running shoes - ₱6,000

At SoFab, I picked up red shoes for ₱1,599 and black Mary Janes for ₱1,599. Afterward, I did some grocery shopping, which came to ₱4,000, and spent ₱328 on transportation.

Finally, I got home, arranged my new stuff, and ate some food that someone named Mani gave me. I also managed to finish my lesson plans for the upcoming classes!

Date: November 1, 2024

Daily Activity: It's Friday, and what a holiday it is! I still can't believe I'm a millionaire now. My parents really invested well, and I feel a mix of excitement and disbelief.

I told Ran that he can enroll next semester. With this newfound wealth, I’m contemplating quitting my jobs since I really don’t want to work anymore. To that end, I posted a hiring ad to find someone to sub for me as a teacher without letting Bryan know. The Viet students and the Brazilians will have to adjust, but I’m sure someone like Karina will step in. I’ll still keep Natsuki and one from APlus, but I might be able to fully quit next year.

I informed Bryan that my 9 PM and 10 PM slots are open, and I’ve already started receiving messages about new opportunities. The offers are around ₱150 per hour, which is much higher than what Bryan pays, but I’m not worried about that right now.

I spent some time looking for flights today for December. I’m finally planning to travel around SEA, possibly visiting Taiwan or Vietnam first and then heading to Hong Kong. I want to set aside some money for Ran—maybe just ₱500,000 for now.

I also took care of my debts and decided to treat myself a little. I went shopping in town and bought a MacBook, an iPad, an iPhone 16, an Apple Pencil, and AirPods Max. I also stopped by H&M and got two pairs of jeans, five tops, two pairs of shoes, two bags, and two shirts for Ran, along with one skirt.

At Uniqlo, I picked up two cardigans, two pairs of jeans, and a bra. I swung by Fully Booked and bought "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" and "The Committed." I couldn’t carry everything anymore, so I took a taxi home.

I managed my excitement, knowing how far I’ve come, and calculated my total expenses, which came to ₱235,678.00. I didn’t sleep all night—thank goodness there were no classes with the girls. I kept myself busy with my new stuff and plans. I felt so awake, like I was on drugs, also due to some fear about managing this money. I think I’ll need to install CCTVs for security.

Goals:

Find a 2BR condo unit to live in first.

Open a little shop, the Anitais Bored store.

Plan flights to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand with Ran.

Date: October 31, 2024

Daily Activity: Today was all about securing my newfound fortune! I rushed to the bank to confirm the details of my inheritance. After ensuring everything was legitimate, I made the decision to electronically transfer the money into four different bank accounts for security. I divided the inheritance equally among BDO, UniBank, BPI, and RBank, then transferred the remainder to Metrobank.

Here’s how the division went:

BDO: ₱31,259,240.81

UniBank: ₱31,259,240.81

BPI: ₱31,259,240.81

RBank: ₱31,259,240.81

Metrobank: ₱1,000,000.00

This process took up most of my day, so I had to cancel my classes with Grey. I also consulted with the lawyer to discuss the best way to protect myself and the money. Receiving such a large sum feels a bit like winning the lottery, and I know it could attract unwanted attention.

After all that, I decided to chill out for the rest of the day. I didn't go shopping yet, but I couldn't resist ordering some Domino's pizza! We chomped on it and enjoyed a relaxed evening.

Expenses:

Domino's pizza: ₱2,300

Incomes:

Inheritance from parents: ₱125,036,963.24

Salary from Bells Insight: ₱3,899

Metrobank balance: ₱9,500

Total Expenses: ₱2,300 Total Incomes: ₱125,036,963.24 + ₱3,899 + ₱9,500 = ₱125,050,362.24

Net Balance: ₱125,050,362.24 - ₱2,300 = ₱125,048,062.24

Daily Activity: Today was an unexpected whirlwind! I discovered a hidden treasure when I received a call from the lawyer representing my parents. They had forgotten about a substantial amount of money that was just sitting in the bank. After some skepticism and a visit to the bank, it turns out that the funds are rightfully mine since the account is in my name!

In addition to that surprising news, I also received my salary from Bells Insight today.
