Jan 2022 As the ffxiv expansion got a lots of people playing, player got a total of 21 more free days to play, so the gaming keeps persist until later when I open for comm.
Feb 2022 Took so much research of PP alternative early this month / Thumb injured while proceed on comm queue / Reveal of Pokemon Gen 9
March 2022 Thumb recovered / Clear FFIV and Chrono Trigger /Join PokeNavi
April 2022 Return to ffxiv (New patch) and going on...
Now for key event....
Salary Dealing
As you may know I'm full time programmer and this is my 7th year of career...last year is a year of thriving where I manage to finished several project at once. So I took chance to deal with my salary late last year, and the result of promise will take effect in Jan...
However it's not so smooth as I wish. Result it took my attention lot as I notice my bonus I suppose to acquire, went missing.
So it's become a rough start where I must wait for first working day, ask about it directly and also, wait for signing contract.
Turn out it took almost half a month to end the deal and finally acquire missing bonus. I almost have to decide of quitting for better salary because price of everything around began to raise due to worldwide inflation...
That time is a period of dilemma...
The important key of my current office is it near my house, render my life expense low and having more time.
vs
Higher Salary. But surely raise expense due to travel cost.
They're a flood of demand for programmer as it become so scarce here in Thailand, make higher salary offer appear like everywhere. From what I observe, most of demand are from booming of NFT, clash with overall education situation itself; They're very low percentage of newly-graduate student who can programming properly these years...
At least it's all clear in the end. Boss understand my reason and agreed to yield my requested bonus.
So in the end I can rest this topic away. Hope myself I could use my skill to clear projects in my path...
Injured Thumb Accident
Just a day before Valentine. Late morning I'm drawing a commission. My big bro's wife call for help from storage room...
I rush downstairs to check the room. Water Pipe got broken. So I need to take fast action to move stuffs out of the storage room.
Accident happens as I'm going to pick up a cement bag. But its bag is broken, plus cement inside already harden. It fall and smash my left hand thumb. It's fast, the nail gone dark-red as I pull my hand from reflection. Feel it's paralyze and later very sore.
Worry it might broken my bone. We decide to go hospital and checkup. Luckily it's not, but recovery state aren't that simple.
Turn out it's took whole month that I can't use my left thumb properly. It's swell and ache.
At the end of first week, I was expected I'm going to get my nail removed, but doctor state it's unable yet as it's not in good state, force detach will result too much pain.
So I need to wait for the end of 2nd week, finally I can go through nail detachment...
End of 3rd week is a reveal. If the wound is dry(Good recovery) I don't need to wrap it anymore. Turn out it's not totally dry yet.
Result it took whole month that my left thumb cover in gauze, unable to use.
However I need a month or two, to let the nail grown back up. It's still 70% at this moment. The most inability for now is I can't press D-pad because it still hurt to press the button. But other activity is fine for now.
PokeNavi server
Soon after my thumb is free, I manage to proceed a long postpone commission queue and done it later last month...consider it's fairly slow for me anyways.
Then late March, Lizao's PokeNavi server founded along with decision of making BulbaBoy an actual OC. Now the server become my default place to hangout. After become inactive at all after I finished Symbiotober (as PP problem arise, salary problem and so on, took my attention to hang out in Discord server away)
More or less if you're fan of Lizao art, guess you'd already join the server. What make me blend well is thanks to timezone itself. One of eternal problem, eh...
Confirmation to use Wise/No more Paypal
Early March, the Paypal incident ended in such frustrate fashion. Yes that my account can accept payment again. But it's too much to bear for me.
So I'd like to state it clear today for my decision. I won't use Paypal to accept payment anymore, at least until it can officially open in Thailand. But it's higher chance that I'll go hard and never use it to accept money anymore, as its fee raise a lot. I shall have my Paypal just to pay for other artist comm for now.
One way or another, if I ended up using Paypal once more, I must charge more at least 5-10$ per order as it's going to evaporate on the way before landing on in my balance (This not count withdrawal fee yet...)
While using Wise would took only a few percentage of fee and better conversion rate. This also save your money on the way.
I believe it's very easy enough to register. The most complicate you need is mobile phone for confirmation(And OTP) so far. Only downside is it recommend to use Debit Card or Credit card to send money(Another way is Apple Pay, if you have one).
No worry about howto, I'll guide you nonetheless.
Note it's bank transfer method available as well, but it's more complicate and slower as I try to test things out.
Upcoming plan
Tomorrow's first day after whole week of freeday. I'm quite sure my office work will become a lot busy as I got a sign of new project to come. So I shall spend my attention to my work first.
If it doesn't stress me out much. I could open for commission again early next month (Or fastest is 30th April) So if you plan to commission me. Please try register for Wise account.
Note that you may got a chance to use it later when you appear to commission certain artist on the way you seek. Some of my Thai artist friend already prepared to accept Wise so far.
I'm sure you won't feel much restriction except forgotten password, in case you can't remember properly because you don't use it too long...
Well. That's all for now. Thanks for reading the update as usual! I'll always around my Twitter and Discord if you felt like to poke me. Haha.

The weird twist is that, after I got my thumb injured, someone also got finger cut away....ack! Another is dad's friend who die from heart attack...
It's like other people got more severe accident all of sudden...So I report this injured to only commissioner and close friends. Decide to revealed now as it's almost fully recovered.
Consider I got fairly low chance to got accident (Stayed home lots) I never expect it could happens, too =v=
Fine, lucky to you, too.
