30-Minute Warning XXVIII

All right. What can I write here under 30 minutes?

After a long, stressful day filled with errands, I went home and waited for the arrival of the 2nd version of my custom Funko Pop. I got the new Pop around 9pm via Grab Express, and… wow! I was amazed by its appearance. A very special thanks to Gino Roberto – the artist behind the 1st and 2nd versions of my custom Pop – for killing it! Before he made the figure, he told me that he would make a better version of my Pop, and he delivered! I’m looking forward to taking photos of it in my makeshift studio this weekend. I’m also excited to bring the new Pop to my Tokyo trip with my family this coming week.

What else? Well, since I’m going to Tokyo next week, I want to truly enjoy and document the experience while posting less. That means I might not follow my blogging schedule this coming week. I will still try to post 3 times during the week, but that’s it. And as for my socials (especially on Instagram), I will try to be more active there again. I will try.

In other news, I already started preparing the things I will bring to the Japan trip. My clothes are good now, though I still want to buy a new buttoned shirt. Maybe this weekend? Fingers crossed on that. As for my toiletries and gadgets, I still need to prepare those, and I might need to buy a new laptop bag so I can bring my laptop and be able to blog during the trip.

And that’s it. Happy weekend, everyone!

Song of the Moment XXX: Foo Fighters’ “Normal”

As I’m typing this, it’s 11pm and I’m having a short break from photocopying service reports. I know… that sounds boring. But at least it pays the bills. My Mother slash boss told me I could continue photocopying tomorrow, but I wanted to finish the task tonight.

Anyway, I opened my Spotify, checked my liked songs, pressed the shuffle button, and then the play button. What’s the 1st song I hear? A Foo Fighters deep cut, “Normal”. The ballad can be found in one of the Foos’ Foo Files EPs, “00020225”, and its lyrics – especially the chorus – are some of the most profound lines about longing for someone and turning things around.

Will you come out tonight?
Will you back down, will you put up a fight?
Turn me around and make everything right
Make me normal from now on

Foo Fighters’ “Normal”

Speaking of longing, now I’m reminded of someone. (I’m not going to mention who.) I changed my mind about listening on shuffle; now I just want to listen to “Normal” on repeat tonight.

Foo Fighters’ “Normal”, from the Foo Files EP “00020225”.

That is all.

10-Minute Warning CXXI

A week before the Japan trip with my family, and I feel down. I’m supposed to feel good, but I’m not. And I should start preparing my things for the trip tomorrow. Maybe preparing early will lift my spirits.

Speaking of tomorrow and lifting spirits, I will have my therapy session – the 1st therapy session of 2024… unless my therapist postpones it again? Our last session happened last November 2023 and ever since our next session has been rescheduled multiple times. My (current) therapist is the best and I’m usually patient about many things, but I’m starting to get annoyed about the recent rescheduling. I just hope the session finally pushes through tomorrow.

And that’s all I can say today. See you on Wednesday.
