THIS IS A TEST!

This is a live testing. Expect errors, unpolished content, and broken features. If you happen to pass by here,
Please don't cringe on my work (even if it feels like it is). I'm an amateur programmer and webmaster, and this is my
first time uploading my webpage on this site. I appreciate your kind consideration.

The Adventure log
Under the sun, I'm a sad, exhausted, underpaid average hooman. But in darkness, I lead a double life:
An adventurous and curious internet feline explorer, digitally travelling across the web to wherever thoughts,
impulses, Facebook reels, and Google suggestions would take me.
Here, I log my adventures (mostly rants and misadventures) and random stuffs from physical and digital worlds.
Misfit's whereabouts
Recently, I've been to...
From my adventures:
- Misfit's Adventurer Passport
A collection of travel stamps, gifts, postcards, artworks, digital souvernirs, and cool stuffs from my internet travels.
- Bookmarks.
A collection of internet places where I've been.
This feature will come soon.
Misfit's Open Mailbox.
I made a cool experimental concept where messaging works the other way around:
Tada, it's Misfit's open mailbox! (or message box). And you, visitors, are the precious recipient.
You don't ask questions here -- I do the spamming.
And the best thing is: you can't reply either! Enjoy your stay.
Misfit's random thoughts
Webmaster's mental block: Why is it that ideas are hard to come by whenever I'm feeling motivated
to try to do something, but I'm always flooded with them whenever I'm not?
Shoutouts!
- To whichever brain cell department of mine is in charge of containing my
ADHD: Do your job right, or I'm cutting you all off the caffeine budget!
- To Jesthony, wishing you good luck to your Finland journey. Some Pasalubong perhaps?
No inboxes yet.
What's the story behind the message box?
MeowTheMisfit fillers
Most webspaces I see on Neocities have this Askbox (or comments, guestbook) feature where visitors can message
the webmaster directly, or leave comments to their websites. When I first saw Plasticdino's website,
I was curious and amazed to see how her askbox works. I once wrote something under the pseudonym Catsup and
actually got a reply!
Adding an askbox seemed like a good idea at first, but the maintainance and unfeasibility slapped me in the face.
On top of that, Neocities' new policy prevents hotlinking for new and non-supporter accounts, which most askboxes,
comments, and guestbooks rely on. And I'm yet to be a "supporter" user.
So I had a thought. Instead of an askbox, why not do the opposite? More feasible, more flexible, and less maintenance.
It's not like I'm going to have lots of audiences anyway. But in my opinion, webmasters reaching out to their
visitors feels more personal and sincere.
And the best thing is: you can't reply either! Enjoy your stay.

Backstory
I was a Computer Science student at a state university, until I dropped out of
college, twice. And now, I'm just an overworked, overstressed, overhated,
and underpaid employee at some family-run printing shop. I used to blame the world,
everything, and everyone around me for this ill-fated present. I still am, but I
realised that blaming won't do anything much.
So, I'm doing my best to work my way up and achieve my dreams someday, no matter how slow my progress
would be. I'll be fine. Probably.

Technical Information
Compatibility
This website is mobile-friendly, and should work on most mobile and desktop devices with Chrome browsers and viewport not exceeding 1300x700px. Compatibility testing is yet to be
done on Firefox, Safari, IE, Edge, and on tablets, iOS, and larger viewports.
Should you encounter compatibility issues, please bear with me for now while I work on them --and blame corporations for imposing ununified standards.
Javascript
This website is static. But being a single-page application (SPA), the site heavily
relies on Javascript to work. Disabling it would prevent you visitors in accessing the
site's core content. Currently, there is no alternative version which doesn't require
JavaScript.
The script is mainly used to load page content and manipulate the DOM. It does not track
user's actions or collect user data.
Language and content
Some contents may be written in Tagalog and Ilocano. Should there be no English translation provided,
you may use your browser's auto-translation tool if available. I sincerely apologise for
the inconveniences.

The town Christmas
Our small town celebrates Christmas in a couple of ways that would last for weeks before the actual Christmas Eve.
Not much, but we have plaza lightings, street foods, concerts, dance shows, and prize draws.
I'd like to join in the fun, but the rainy weather isn't letting up lately at it continues to turn the ground into
a sea of mud. I did went to the plaza earlier to see the concert. It was great, but walking around the park
feels like I'm marching in Pokrovsk.

Brooks' Law:
Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.
And he's damn right. Meta AI has been very helpful to me lately, so I thought I could
have her directly help me with the transcripts to speed up the development process.
But instead, I wasted two hours of unproductive result. Not to say that Meta AI was
in the wrong, but a mismanagement on my part.

Experimenting with colors:
I decided to make my webpage a little bit colorful by experimenting with bunch of
web colors to compensate with the lack of graphics. My artistic skills are poo poo,
so I threw a random combination of predefined CSS colors, and to my surprise,
I found a good color combination in just few retries.

ADHD Kicks in:
It's hard to work on my small webpage project when there's this ADHD wrecking havoc to my progress.
I always had this urge to deconstruct and reconstruct everything that I wrote all over again whenever I feel
like I'm making a progress. Maybe it's a good thing. I can see where I went wrong after the ordeal.

Webpage Dilemma: A mix of capriciousness and a little bit of everything.
Two years of stargazing and coffee-sipping. Now that I have gone this far, I pray that my
capriciousness will not ruin everything that I've built for the past two years.
Happy Birthday!
AtomVoidAlpha,
I believe that I owe you in a lot of ways I cannot compensate. I've been busy for so long dealing
with my webpage, work, and personal problems. But allow me this time to repay you and
do what I should've always done.
Happy birthday, man.
You've been a best, best friend and a brother to me. You are my longest friend that I have, and I'm lucky to have you.
When I first met you in elementary, We were both outcasts for being indifferent. But as the years went by, you grew stronger,
more resilient, and more valiant. I have always admired the ways and sacrifices you have made to improve yourself and become
a better person. You went out to gym, build up muscles, and started to get along with a lot of people.
We had great adventures together. I enjoyed our times back in high school when we used to investigate the mysteries of our
campus (that used to be an abandoned hospital). We also used to talk about videogames with AJ, God bless his soul, he
was a good friend of mine, and your best friend too. During lunch breaks, we talked non-stop about videogames and re-enacted
the scenes from Call of Duty.
