American: mm hmm

Filipino: m mostly i just yeah i did some just admin work um and we had a bit of a laugh with the staff um

American: mm hmm

Filipino: it's actually nice

American: <overlap>

Filipino: yes and it always feels really weird for me <laugh> uh when i'm like on a day shift from nine through five or ten till six whatever

American: mm hmm

Filipino: because i'm so used to like being on a sleepover so just staying in the service for the whole day whole night until the next day um and like i just kind of habit by habit wanted to sign the handover sheet like because we have this um safe keys that we always

American: mm hmm

Filipino: give to each other for from like one person finishing sleepover is giving to the person starting the sleepover and then and i and we need to sign that you get got the keys and i just wanted to sign it by just because i do it usually

American: mm hmm

Filipino: but i was like no actually i can go home tonight so that was and that was nice

American: yeah i know i was going to mention it because usually every time you told me that you're gonna go to work it's like because of the whole twenty four hour thing i expect that okay right now you would still be at work and then tomorrow in the afternoon you'd say oh i got i got free now i'm free

Filipino: mm hmm

American: um but it's weird that you started in the morning and you're free now which is how the the average person works with with with you it's the twenty four hour shift so um

Filipino: yeah

American: that's

Filipino: yeah uh uh my friend at work she said that last month she did eight sleepovers

American: mm hmm

Filipino: so she's knackered but she's happy that she's going to have like a lot of money now

American: mm hmm

Filipino: yeah

American: yeah true she can probably buy more

Filipino: and and there was actually another sleepover available tomorrow because

American: mm hmm

Filipino: someone cannot do it and i was really tempted to take it uh just like you know for extra cash

American: mm hmm

Filipino: um but i can't tomorrow because i'm seeing like um two other friends tomorrow

American: mm hmm

Filipino: and we planned that a long time ago so i'm not gonna you know um back out back uh you know just change your plans because it's very difficult to

American: mm hmm

Filipino: um to to find the same time that will be available for everyone <laugh>

American: mm hmm i mean you picked up quite a few shifts anyway so i mean i think it should be fine

Filipino: um yes yes

American: and you don't wanna over tire yourself because then it would be difficult to do all that dissertation work

Filipino: um yeah but i was thinking maybe actually because i'm always hesitant to pick up shifts because i'm thinking because in my mind i keep thinking oh i don't want to go for the whole day to work but then

American: mm hmm

Filipino: i'm like but it's not a sleepover it's just like a day shift and i can also like

American: yeah

Filipino: just pick up four hours or three hours if i don't want to do the full eight hours

American: did you do that too

Filipino: yes

American: jesus i didn't know that

Filipino: yeah there is no there is so flexible now because like they are desperate for people to help to work

American: would that also apply like if i'm working there and then uh if i just wanna go

Filipino: yeah

American: pick up w wow

Filipino: you

American: wow okay so jeez i didn't know that i thought the minimum was like an eight hour shift like even if it's not nine to five but eight hours minimum

Filipino: i mean that's uh like um officially but um it's it's really

American: but all these things we have to like sorry for cutting you off but all these things

Filipino: mm hmm

American: would have to be decided like a the month before right like when they ask you to give your times and blah blah blah and then you fill out

Filipino: no no you can like you know um today i looked at the rota um what shifts were outstanding what was available

American: mm hmm

Filipino: um and i and you know i was like um actually i could work next week this extra

American: mm hmm

Filipino: shift and i just emailed my manager uh about that and added it to the rota so um

American: yeah that's cool

Filipino: mm hmm yeah so i so i have my maybe like like in between my trips in june

American: mm hmm

Filipino: um i could pick up some extra um because i don't want to be i don't want to feel so financially insecure

American: mm hmm

Filipino: especially like with the trips i'm going to spend more money on you know uh going for a dinner or whatever like having restaurant restaurant food or like going for a drink

American: mm hmm

Filipino: so it's gonna be extra costs so yeah

American: mm hmm

Filipino: mm hmm

American: yeah fair enough

Filipino: yeah also um because you're gonna come later tonight uh what do you want i can't remember what we want to add to the curry i'm going to go to the shop um was it peppers bacon and whatever

American: oh i'll take some bacon first and and baby corn yeah

Filipino: yeah

American: uh yeah peppers uh baby corn the green beans you mentioned

Filipino: um yes we can have that and um

American: mm hmm uh huh

Filipino: pineapple

American: yeah yeah if we can get uh a cheap can of that

Filipino: um yeah i mean maybe because like the whole pineapple actually is usually quite cheap to buy sometimes it's like

American: i know but it can be a nuisance

Filipino: well i have a sharp knife so i could manage it's a

American: yeah but you're going to be making the other stuff as well so it will take time

Filipino: hmm i'll see how i feel

American: mm hmm

Filipino: because if i um and the extra pineapple like the fresh one

American: mm

Filipino: will be more um like firm the the one from the can is quite like soft and um mushy in a way if you know what i mean

American: mm hmm yeah

Filipino: so you know i mean it should be it should be fine but i think yeah

American: yeah i think that should be fine mostly i i don't even know how that brand is gonna taste at tesco

Filipino: mm hmm

American: because i've never tried that that um

Filipino: yeah

American: that thai curry paste before i've tried different other thai curry paste but not like the tesco brand one

Filipino: mm hmm

American: and they're all different so

Filipino: mm hmm

American: yeah let's see how that is

Filipino: okay so what did you do today so far

American: um i was at the café with my thesis partner we were just

Filipino: mm hmm

American: working on stuff um i think it was pretty decent to be honest like um even though i told you you know somewhere in the middle like things were getting quite slow and everything because of the assessments now and it's still slow like in the sense that it it's quite delayed but certain things that we wanna get done when we do meet each other we are able to get it done to at least some extent which is which is good

Filipino: mm hmm

American: it's not like we just sit there and nothing happens so it is um uh it was quite productive i would say today

Filipino: mm hm

American: um got some uh code running

Filipino: code

American: it's on calltracks yeah <laugh>

Filipino: oh okay

American: uh yeah

Filipino: i thought it was our

American: not not not not not our studio no no

Filipino: okay

American: just to calltracks and um

Filipino: what code do you need to use there

American: and as uh we wanted to do this one thing where if you're playing a if you open up a questionnaire and then you're playing some track

Filipino: mm hmm

American: we didn't want the uh we didn't want people to have the option to like move around the track like well if it's a thirty second track they can just skip wherever they want

Filipino: mm hmm

American: i wanted it to be like an autoplay thing so the minute you open it the the the thing the song just starts right

Filipino: mm hmm

American: and we don't want we don't wanna let uh uh uh participants go to the next one without completing that so until that song finishes

Filipino: mm hmm

American: um well let me rephrase when the song finishes then the button appears to go next

Filipino: oh right okay yes oh that's practical

American: yes so there's

Filipino: oh that's practical

American: is some code that you need for that which um

Filipino: yeah

American: we we checked up online and uh there was somebody that was asking about videos we didn't we didn't have to do anything with videos but we used the same thing but with an audio file

Filipino: mm hmm

American: um

Filipino: then what else happened

American: uh yeah i mean um that was most of the most of the day so far um and and then after that uh went to the gp got my knee checked up and they said i should just go for uh physiotherapy and everything else he said was uh um i don't know stuff i ge i guess i already knew or maybe he was confused i'm not sure because he didn't seem to know um too much about what was going on i tried to explain it as as well as i could telling him how how it's you know it's a little y you know sometimes i have trouble walking and i don't know

Filipino: mm hmm

American: what's going on exactly and then i guess he didn't know what was going on either so um no that's fine he he said that you know just give it another couple of weeks it might take a little longer to heal up um but he did like i said recommend physiotherapy for for later on maybe not now but he said that you know again if you he's like even if it gets better like what if you want to do roller skating or rollerblading later on

Filipino: mm hmm

American: and what if the what if it's fine and then what if the whole thing it happens all over again so he's like i'd give that he's like the waiting list is long but at least you could try it and i was like yeah maybe

Filipino: mm hmm

American: um other than that i'm just in my uh dorm right now and i'm gonna head out uh in a while maybe like half an hour later

Filipino: mm hmm

American: for drum rehearsals

Filipino: uh how long was the appointment

American: the appointment uh not too long i mean i i i was called at i mean the appointment time was three thirty i got there just before that like literally a minute

Filipino: mm hmm

American: or two before that probably called in at around three forty and i was in for about mm ten minutes maybe i think he was trying to find out other causes he was asking me oh do you have this problem that problem i was like yeah a bit of this a bit of that but i was like i don't think it's got anything to do with this particular problem

Filipino: mm yeah

American: and i was explaining w why exactly he looked at my previous uh reports as well and then um yeah and and of course i don't blame him he's trying to figure it out so obviously he's gonna ask

Filipino: mm hmm

American: more questions um well but yeah i i so i can't say it was a complete waste i got some information out of it but

Filipino: mm hmm

American: i was just hoping to get a little more insight into what was going on

Filipino: mm hmm

American: um it's a confusing thing so i i don't i don't really know so we'll see what happens

Filipino: yeah

American: after a couple of weeks um

Filipino: was it that is it the same the gp that you always see or was it a different one

American: no i mean i've only seen two people including him so far

Filipino: mm hmm

American: so i've only been to the gp once before and that was some other guy um

Filipino: mm hmm

American: and then this guys was was different um

Filipino: yeah

American: they seemed

Filipino: all right

American: pretty chill and everything like that it's not like he was trying to dismiss me and just like finish off the appointment i just i guess he just didn't know what to to really say because i mean the way even when i explained it to him he told me that you know this this should have been gone <laugh> that they

Filipino: yeah

American: you shouldn't have pain right now but he well he said you know for some people it's different the you know healing processes take the healing process can take longer so he said that

Filipino: mm hmm

American: that might just be your case uh but of course he wasn't a hundred percent sure so we'll see in a couple of weeks' time

Filipino: mm hmm

American: nothing bad though really

Filipino: yeah

American: um but yeah like i said and then after this in a while i'm gonna leave and then i have drum rehearsals and that's for like two hours and then after that uh we can meet and make the thai curry um

Filipino: do you want to do you want to continue watching um what was the movie rat race or that (()) which one

American: yeah either i i'm cool with either um i think i actually have a couple of other movies i think

Filipino: mm hmm

American: i already seen half of it so i can't remember um yeah i mean honestly either let's see how the what what what the uh whatever the curry smell inspires

Filipino: um yeah

American: um

Filipino: because um rat race is more of like a comedy kind of thing um yeah

American: yeah a bit of comedy a little action

Filipino: mm hmm

American: a little bit of mystery as well because you don't know who's who's really gonna i mean how it's gonna end

Filipino: yeah and um dirty dancing it's like a romantic movie

American: dirty dancing

Filipino: yeah um do you like actually do you like because you never mentioned about any um when you talk about movies like you never

American: mm hmm

Filipino: really mention any like rom com romantic comedies or other romantic movies

American: yeah

American: yeah i think i usually to prefer comedy with i don't mind some rom com like they're fine

Filipino: mm hmm

American: um some of them are i can't really i don't have any at the top of my mind right now but some of them are great um uh it's just that uh with me i i'd be more inclined towards just comedy or just mystery

Filipino: mm hmm

American: or maybe horror or those kinds of genres

Filipino: oh horror

American: um yeah

Filipino: are you not scared of horrors

American: what

Filipino: are you not scared of horrors

American: i am that's why i love it right that's the whole point like if you get if if you just sit with the big tv screen or or on your laptop as well and you watch something which is under the category of horror and you just sit there i mean i mean you don't enjoy that

Filipino: mm hmm

Filipino: mm hmm unless

American: i don't like watching it with the kind of people that are that just are like you know the every time something scary is gonna come they try to divert themselves or they try to say something out loud to to to reduce the creepiness i don't like that i like everybody to scream at once

Filipino: <laugh> yeah and i i sometimes like be rude and if comment during the movie and like there's some there would be like some kind of like mystery scene and they would like make joke about it
