30-Minute Warning XX

What can I write here under 30 minutes?

Wow. The past 2 days have been my busiest workdays ever since I started working for my family’s company, and now I’m tired. I almost chose to blog using my smartphone because I have been using my laptop all day, but I changed my mind. And now here I am, writing on The Diary.

Yesterday, I learned how to make proposals and it was a doozy. I encountered so many numbers during the learning process, so it was hard for me at first. But I’m thankful for Younger Brother guiding me along the way. Thank you, brother. And I also ordered some materials from one of our suppliers. (Something I’m familiar with already.)

As for other things that happened yesterday, well… I got my affogato fix at my favorite cafe Satchmi. The combination of salted caramel ice cream and espresso gave me the boost I needed, so I was fine learning something new like making a proposal. Thank you, my favorite spot. Thank you.

Today, I ordered a different material from a different supplier and then worked on last month’s billings. I didn’t finish the latter, but I will be able to finish it tomorrow. (That’s 2 days of billing work instead of my usual 3 to 4. I think that’s an accomplishment.)

What else? Oh! I’m still uncertain when I will go to Japan with my family, but I’m sure it will be June 2024. Wait. I already said that in an old post. But oh my God. I’m excited! (I think you can tell because I repeated it?)

And time’s up.

XIV: On Going to Japan and Saving More Money

I have been posting more Song the Moment and Minute Warning entries since this February, and I just drank 4 Jack and Cokes, so maybe it’s time to break the cycle and write a normal blog post.

Here we go…

Song of the Moment XX: Spice Girls’ “Stop”

Hi, everyone. Before I start this 200th post on The Diary (and the 20th Song of the Moment post), I need to explain something: Once again, I didn’t update The Diary on a Wednesday. Why? Because I was too sad to talk about anything. Hell, I don’t feel like finishing my post about my lowest point ever. I just wanted to do other things like running on the treadmill, lifting weights, rest for several hours, and spending time with my family… and I did all of those things and it made me feel better. To top it all off, I also watched several movies from the British action comedy Hot Fuzz (for the nth time) to the remake of the action flick Road House.

Now that I feel better, I will post something this weekend – probably on Sunday.

Anyway, what is my Song of the Moment right now? It’s my favorite Spice Girls song next to “Too Much” – “Stop”. Thank you very much, my favorite girl group, for cheering me up. Now, let me do the chorus dance in my room.

The music video of Spice Girls’ “Stop”.

That is all.
