Yes, he wears a mask sometimes. And according to most people, he looks like Bruno Mars when he is unmasked. Absolutely deranged, below-average writer.

10-Minute Warning CLVIII

All right. What can I share under 20 minutes of the penultimate day of 2024?

Today I didn’t want to go out because of this incredibly awful dream. The entire dream felt so real because I had this feeling it would truly happen in real life, and it affected my mood for almost the whole day. But even if I had a bad dream, I had to join my brothers and cousins in their shopping before the New Year’s Eve festivities. I needed to buy a gift for Secret Santa, among other things.

Before I ran errands, I had an affogato at my favorite cafe Satchmi to feel better and to keep going. After that, I bought the things I needed to buy (including the Secret Santa gift) and went home with my brothers and cousins. Thank you for bringing us to the mall and back home, Younger Brother.

Crap. I’m almost out of time, and I almost forgot to mention that I had a chicken burrito at Mexicali before going home. Their burritos are wonderful. Seriously. I should have not forgotten that.

Happy holidays, everyone.

Song of the Moment LXII: Colbie Caillat’s “Realize”

I have been listening to my Top Songs 2024 playlist on Spotify for the past several days, and one of the songs from the playlist I have not blogged as my Song of the Moment is “Realize”, my favorite Colbie Caillat song. It was released in January 2008, but I only discovered it a year later. The song is about having romantic feelings for someone (a friend rather) and wishing for that someone to feel the same way.

If you just realize what I just realized
Then we’d be perfect for each other and we’d never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We’d never have to wonder if we missed out on each other now

Now let me be sappy while I listen to “Realize” and drink my Jack and Coke. Happy holidays.

10-Minute Warning CLVII

OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Yes, I said in a previous post that I will blog more often before 2024 ends. And I also have a handful of recent stories (including my birthday dinner). But tonight, I just want to drink an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero and relax. I want to enjoy this Christmas break more alone and with my loved ones.

I will try to make a proper long post tomorrow. Try.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone.
