10-Minute Warning CXLIX

A quick update: After weeks of no exercise, I finally left the house to walk and jog for an hour tonight. It feels so good to exercise after work hours. I want to do this more often again.

That brings me to a resolution for 2025: I need to fully work out more. In addition to walking and jogging, I should add more aerobics, calisthenics, or weight training. To start my resolution early, I will slowly add aerobics and calisthenics this November and December 2024, and then add weight training in 2025. That means I will apply for a gym membership or find a way to work out at home. Wish me luck on this!

And that’s all I can say for now. See you tomorrow.

Song of the Moment LII: Coheed and Cambria’s “A Favor House Atlantic”

Hello there. I was supposed to blog yesterday, but I didn’t have access to the Internet the whole day and even my mobile data sucked. Now that both means of Internet access are back, I’m also back on The Diary and I might blog twice in one day soon.

Anyway, I recently finished listening to Coheed and Cambria’s second studio album In Keeping Secrets to Silent Earth: 3, and… wow. It has been a long time since I listened to the album from beginning to end, and it was a nostalgic trip because it reminded me of my first year of college – the same time I was becoming a huge fan of the progressive rock band. And what is one of my favorite tracks from the album? “A Favor House Atlantic”, the album’s second shortest song… and the catchiest.

The music video of Coheed and Cambria’s “A Favor House Atlantic”.

That is all for now.

10-Minute Warning CXLVIII

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

I have 2 reasons to celebrate tonight with a glass of ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero. Firstly, it’s finally the weekend, and if you have been following The Diary, you know that this is how I kick off my break from the work week.

And what’s the 2nd reason? Remember my post about the 1st Deadpool & Wolverine teaser – the post where I mentioned I wanted a Deadpool half-shell mask for so long? After finding a local supplier, ordering the mask from the supplier, and almost 2 months of waiting, I finally got the mask! Well… almost. I got the package this afternoon and I have not opened the box yet. Why? As much as I want to open the box right away, I want to blog about my unboxing and review of the Deadpool half-shell mask, and I must carefully plan and document the whole process. Wish me luck on that!

And that’s all I can share for now. Happy weekend, everyone!
