Tuesday, The Final Frontend Git Push

    Today was one of those days where you put your head down and do not lift it until the work is done. We made the final frontend push today, every detail from the design board we made are needed to be implemented before we could confidently say the frontend was ready to be merged. It was time consuming, sometimes tedious, and a keyboard exercise.

    There is a particular kind of pressure that comes with knowing you are on the last stretch of a phase. You want to make sure you are not leaving anything unfinished, red lines for the next person to deal with. Every loose end you leave in your branch is a potential headache during the merge, and nobody wants to be the reason a merge turns into a debugging session. So today I was careful with what I put in. Checking things as they are before moving on.

    By the end of the day, the frontend was in a state I felt good about. Not perfect, nothing in early development ever is, though most of it is solid enough that I could hand it off with confidence. Tomorrow and the rest of the week, the merging begins, and we will find out how well everything fits together when all our individual pieces are finally in the same place.

The stress level today was manageable. Not zero, but manageable. The end of this particular sprint is in sight and that makes the effort feel lighter.

First Day on the Job - Orientation (February 23, 2026 | Monday)

  February 23, 2026 First Day of OJT: Orientation, Meetings, Assignments and New Milestones to reach      Today marked the official start of my On-the-Job Training, though it took way more time for us to get approved, it came clear that this is the time we stride our feet and arms, and honestly, it was a bulk load of information, expectations, and excitement. We three, I, Vincent and Kristel walked into the Dean's office of Bicol University - East Campus this morning with a mix of nervousness and anticipation. First days are always like that, aren't they? Morning Orientation (9:04 AM - 11:30 AM)      Our orientation was scheduled for 9 AM to 12:00 PM, but we actually started a bit earlier at 9:04 AM and ended around 11:30 AM. The session covered all the essentials we needed to know to get started.      We were introduced to the non-teaching staff who manage various departments these are the people we'll be coordinating with for administr...

Figma is the Tool of Socrates

 March 4, 2026 Day 8, Back to Designing and Learning How DTR Works      The day after a presentation is always a bit of a reset. We spent most of today going through the feedback from the Engineering Department point by point and figuring out which parts needed minor adjustments and which needed a more significant redesign. It is actually a more difficult task than designing from scratch in some ways, because you have to balance the original design intent with the new requirements that came out of the feedback session.      We divided the comments into two categories, the quick fixes that we could handle in a day or two, and more involved changes that would require rethinking certain modules. The goal is to have everything updated and ready to present again by Monday, March 9. That gives us just a few days to turn things around, which is tight but doable if we stay focused.      On a completely different note, today I also learned ab...

Tuesday First Day of the Coding Phase

March 10, 2026 Day 12 — First Day of the Coding Phase        There is something that feels different about a day when you finally stop designing and start building. Today was that day. We officially entered the coding phase of the Document Management System, and even just starting setting up the environment, laying down the initial structure, writing the first few lines, felt like a significant shift in the project's energy.      We spent a portion of the day planning how to divide the work among the three of us. Since we are a small team working on a real system with a real deadline, coordination matters more than it would in a school project. We agreed on dividing the tasks into smaller units, assigning each one on GitHub, and setting internal deadlines so that everything converges in a grand merge next week when each piece is supposed to come together. It is a simple enough plan on paper, but the execution will depend on how disciplined we each are ...
