Here to share the different parts of who I am as a person and the things that I love doing. 💜
Omg I lost track of time. I can’t believe I stayed up all night coding again lol. Those damn service containers had me confused 🤣. Goodnight 😴💜 #php #phpdeveloper #laracasts #webdeveloper #webdevelopment

Day 12:

Today almost took me out and I’m not even done yet! 🤣 That one tiny typo was the reason I just spent the last 3 hours yelling at computer and writings tons of additional unecessary code 🤣
Today we worked on the Router class and created a few new controllers.

Day 11:

Honey the consistency has been consistent and I’m loving it. I’m so thankful my mentor Lee Walker told me about @laracasts. Being able to learn #Php from someone like Jeffrey Way has been a huge blessing. He teaches you how to approach #programming in a #pragmatic way.

Day 10:

So now that I’m done rebuilding the project from memory that I deleted 5 months ago from a course that I was taking, I’m now to the part of the course where at the moment we’re just organizing the project and making it more manageable.

Day 9:

Omg me trying to wrap my mind around validation was definitely challenging with the limited knowledge that I have. But I made it work.

Day 9:

As a kid my mindset was if I didn’t get it right away then it wasn’t for me and I would give up. And sadly, that mindset followed me into adulthood. It’s the reason I gave up on many endeavors in my life including #programming.

Day 8:

Today literally sped right pass me. I looked up at the time and realized I hadn’t had dinner which I will after I post this.

Day 7:

I went down a rabbit hole yesterday and today trying to make some improvements to my application and find a better way to load views and partials without with a single helper function instead of two different ones. Through trial and error there was a lot that I learned and was able to

Day 6:

I’m staring to notice a shift in my mindset once again. Last year after my 4th attempt there was a lot of fear, overthinking, and stagnation. But I’m noticing that a lot less after this 5th attempt..

Day 5:
Today was one of those long days where I wanted to be in bed by 5pm after running all the errands that I needed to due to the public transportation being closed until Monday.

Omg I am officially done typing my handwritten notes from my beginner #PHP course that I’m taking on #laracasts. Although it was a lengthy process it definitely paid off and did what it needed to do. That was the confidence boost that I needed!

Took a nice #lunch #break from studying to enjoy a nice grilled three cheese and egg sandwich with a side of my homemade pickles. 💜 Now I’m going to finish up this episode of #StrangerThings and get back to my #programming studies. #fyp

If I truly understood how valuable I was, I would stop letting others treat me like I’m worthless! 💜💯

Day 4:
I’m up and back on my grind. I am really loving the mindset shift that has recently occurred because it’s giving me a new outlook on life and my goals. It has really made me a lot more relaxed and determined than I’ve ever felt before on my #programming journey.

Man today was a really productive day. I just wrapped up studying for today, was able to get 18 pages of notes typed up from my handwritten notes and now I’m about to enjoy a quick dinner and get ready to teach a knitting class to one of my closest friends back home in Monterrey.

I’ve decided to take my handwritten notes from my beginner #PHP course that I’m taking on #Laracasts and type them up. That way I can print them out and start a binder that’s dedicated to my #programming studies.
December 28, 2025 at 7:06 PM
Honey I am retaking this course on #laracasts for the 4th time already because I kept stopping partially due to being insecure about being able to get my career back as a #webdeveloper and plus I had to fulfill orders for my #sidehustle as a knitter and crocheter.

One thing about me is that I’m a creature of habit and I stick to the same foods and coffee. So yesterday since I was low on coffee I grabbed #peetscoffee. Not only did I grab a new brand but I also am trying a new roast as well which is their #darkroast #majordickasonsblend.

Tell me why I had a nightmare about knitting those Christmas stockings I made. I’m in my dream saying “How did I mess up when I already finished you?! This can’t be happening!” 🤣 Honey those stocking got me traumatized! 🤣

My #2025recap! This entire year was a wonderful moment for me because it makes my first year not on dialysis and enjoying life with Milsgro my transplanted kidney. God has truly been good to me. Thanks everyone for making this an awesome year!

To all my #Knitter and #Crocheters out there, did you do any gifting this year?

I #crocheted a blanket for my auntie. I crocheted a #Bluey for a friend’s granddaughter (my original design) and I #knitted #Christmas stockings for someone from my church (the to the far right was an alteration I made

Finally decided to join the party over here from the place I shall not name 🤣and see how the #dev and #coding community is.

Just as long as I don’t run into those #PHP haters or those who convince people not to learn how to #code anymore because of #AI (which is a dumb mindset in and of itself)
