So, what can I share here in under 30 minutes?
In the 10th entry of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024), I would like to share how I feel: I feel better now. Why? Because yesterday, I finally found time to purely focus on organizing my birthday dinner this December 5. I already reached out to three of my choices for the venue (on Viber), and I will check out two of those venues today. I need to settle for a venue today and I can’t delay that any further.
Before the venue selection, I asked my family and a few friends if they were available on December 5, and even if there was no venue yet, all of them confirmed their attendance. I’m so happy to know that 12 loved ones – my parents, brothers, 2 cousins, and a few friends – are going, and that is why I need to settle for a venue today and then finally tell my beloved where I will celebrate my birthday. I don’t want to confirm the venue at the last minute. And that is why I’m writing this Minute Warning post at 2am.
In other news: There is this biker jacket that I have been eyeing like a vulture for years online, and even if it’s on sale because it’s Black Friday weekend, it is still ultra-pricier compared to my Bullet Club 10th anniversary jacket. But that’s the thing – it’s on sale. Should I get it before my birthday? Maybe I should as a gift to myself…
Inner Dewey: Don’t do that, you, idiot. You already bought a Deadpool Funko Pop, a Moleskine 2025 planner, a few more Moleskine pocket journals, and you have a birthday dinner coming up. You have enough birthday gifts already. Just don’t.
Me: OK, fine. I will not…
Inner Dewey: Good.
Me: …for now.
Inner Dewey: Come on, man. Even if it’s your birthday and it’s the holidays…
And time’s up.
