10-Minute Warning CXI

All right. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

I have been sick since yesterday. I have been coughing, I have an itchy throat, and I feel so weak. Thank goodness I don’t have that much work today, so I spent most of my day resting. I also drank Bioflu and an African Sea-Coconut cough mixture to heal more quickly… and it worked. As I type this, I feel much better now, though I still cough a bit. That means no cold drinks for me (still) – specifically, no Jack and Coke this Friday night. Oh, well. I hope to be 100% tomorrow or on Sunday.

After writing this post, I will watch one of my all-time favorite movies, the buddy cop action comedy Hot Fuzz. It is one of my comfort movies; I have seen it more than 5 times, and it has helped me get through my 1st noted bout with depression. Thank you, Prime Video, for having Hot Fuzz. You are the best.

Happy weekend, everyone!

10-Minute Warning V

So, what can I say here in under ten minutes?

Today I’m thankful for the most satisfying and relaxing weekday sleep since entering the family business last January 16. I went home at 1am and then woke up at lunchtime without hearing my parents/bosses complain. I’m sure this will not happen again soon, so I’m thankful.

Also, tonight I gathered my shit together and jogged at Three Trees. This is the 1st exercise I got since March 2023 started. I need to get back to doing aerobics and walking/running more. I was not this motivated in February.

And oh! I’m going out in a few minutes and have a drink with Younger Brother, Youngest Brother, and their music buddies. I’m craving for some Jack & Coke, so I hope they have that drink at the bar we’re going.

And yeah, I know. Jogging and then drinking? Very healthy.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning IV

So, what can I say in ten minutes after reading the last 10-Minute Warning post?

Oh, God. After waking up at 12pm, I don’t feel so good. On a Saturday, I get to drink an average of five glasses of my favorite Jack and Coke. But last night, my stupid self went for eight. What the fuck am I thinking?

Anyway, I finally got to watch Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings while eating some chicken tinola. I don’t want this post to be a movie spoiler, so I simply have to say this: I love the action scenes and how the movie introduces a new part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The MCU is really good at world-building.

After watching, I took a cold bath and changed clothes. I feel a bit better now, but I want to feel better. So today I’m going to my favorite cafe and safe space, Satchmi. I cannot complete a week without going there, having my favorite affogato, and writing in my journal. I just hope I can find a seat right away because there are a lot of people hanging out there on weekends. (I’m happy that Satchmi’s business is doing great, though.)

And time’s up.
