The Deranged Writer

10-Minute Warning CLI

Hello. Here I am again, struggling to complete my monthly blog count. But then again, why am I beating myself up again? This is my blog and I’m not a writing machine. I need to take it easy and cut myself some slack sometimes.

But wait. I think I can catch up on my blog count when I start the 2024 edition of “14 Days of The Deranged Writer”. In the aforementioned blogging series, I will blog for 14 days straight, starting from November 22 to my birthday, December 5. And to start the series, I will talk about my favorite attires of my all-time favorite professional wrestler, The Undertaker (who made his WWE debut on November 22, 1990).

See you tomorrow!

Song of the Moment LV: Linkin Park’s “Two Faced”

I’ll make this quick because I just finished listening From Zero, the new Linkin Park album released today, and I will go for another round because I love the entire record. But if I were to pick a favorite track (right now) that I will listen to on repeat all night long, it would be “Two Faced”. Listening to it made me feel like a 10-year-old because it reminded me of the old-school, heavy Linkin Park – Mr. Hahn’s turntable scratches and all. I’m on cloud nine, man.

And have you seen the music video of “Two Faced”? Linkin Park members in suits… I approve.

The music video of Linkin Park’s “Two-Faced”.

Now I will go back to listen From Zero all over again. Happy weekend!

30-Minute Warning XXXIV

So, what can I tell here in under 30 minutes?

Since November 2024 started, I have been feeling better slowly. It must be because I started walking and jogging again on Three Trees. I already walked and jogged thrice in the past several days, which is a huge progress for me. It feels so good to sweat it out, and I will do my best to keep exercising through the holidays and beyond. (Even if I expect a lot of feasts this coming December. Fingers crossed.)

I also feel better lately because of productivity at work. Specifically, I worked on many proposals and billings without complaining, and I finished them before the first week of November ended. After almost 2 years of working in the family business, I can say that I finally got the hang of it. I’m glad I’m settled in at work and I’m helping out my Mother, Father and Younger Brother in many ways.

That being said, my clerical job’s salary sucks. Yes, at least I’m getting paid, but if I need earn more money, I can’t depend on a single form of income. I need to find another job. I need to find a part-time job that I can juggle with my current one so I can save more money and somehow spoil myself and my loved ones. Maybe it’s time to practice again a forte of mine, which is web and graphic design. Wish me luck.

Anyway, back to feeling better. I have many so reasons for feeling so, which is great. But… I will save those reasons (and stories) for a future post because my 30 minutes is almost up. In the meantime, I’m celebrating the start of my weekend with my favorite Jack and Coke Zero.

Oh, wait. Quickly, I will share another simple reason for me to feel better: Deadpool & Wolverine is coming to Disney+ this November 12. Fuck yeah!

Happy weekend, everyone!
