30-Minute Warning XXXI

Hello, Diary. It has been a while, and I missed 2 blogging days this week – this Wednesday and Friday. Let me explain my short absence.

The past few days have been rough for me physically. Remember the last time I blogged here; I said I didn’t get a fever even if I was expecting to? Well, the day after I posted that, I got a fever and my coughing and itchy throat became worse. Overall I officially got the flu. But thanks to plenty of rest and water, Koolfever, and Bioflu, I got better slowly.

As soon as I was cured of my fever and coughing, I joined my parents and cousin May in grocery shopping. I joined because I had a feeling I would see some 4-packs of Jack and Coke Zero in the store. And when we arrived and I checked the alcohol section, I was right – there were lots of Jack and Coke Zero. So I took 2 4-packs. Thank goodness.

After coming home from grocery shopping, I was told by my family to get some rest. Yes, I don’t have a fever anymore and I’m not coughing like hell, but I’m not 100% well physically. But before I got my rest, I had to work a bit. Good thing I don’t have that much on my workload, so I finished work early.

Anyway, I’m 100% well now and celebrating it by having an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero while typing this post. I deserve this cool beverage.

And that’s it. That’s about it. Happy weekend!

Song of the Moment XXXVI: Marconi Union’s “Weightless”

My anxiety has been off the charts these past few days, and I have been doing my best to calm myself down. I did my breathing exercises and it worked for a while. I diverted my attention to something else by watching a movie with my Younger Brother, and it also worked for a short time.

So I turned to another favorite hobby of mine: listening to music. I had to google the world’s most relaxing song, and here is what I found: According to a Psychiatrist.com article, the world’s most relaxing song is an 8-minute instrumental by Marconi Union titled “Weightless”. I got curious and I truly needed something to reduce my anxiety, so I searched it on Spotify, and there it was.

As I type this I’m listening to “Weightless” for the 2nd time, and it does sound relaxing. So far, so good. I will listen to this on repeat until I fall asleep.

The music video of Marconi Union’s “Weightless”.

I hope to be fine soon.

10-Minute Warning CXXVI

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

My normal Saturday would start by waking up at noon, having my 1st meal of the day, taking a bath, writing in my journal, and catching up on WWE SmackDown! via YouTube. But today, it started at 2pm. I overslept and somehow I feel bad about it.

So, tonight, I will do what I should have done hours ago – journal writing and catching up on WWE’s blue brand. But firstly I will buy some fried chicken from McDonald’s. I’m hungry.

And as of blogging here lately, I have been blogging for 5 days straight. That’s because I missed out on a few blogging days when I was in Tokyo with my family. So, good job, self!

See you tomorrow, Sunday.
