30-Minute Warning XXVII

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

The end of May is nearing, and I’m almost dead set on buying a Samsung Galaxy S24+… almost. I mean, my current phone – a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G – works well after 3 years (and counting) of using it. Though Samsung has a sale ending on Friday, May 31, do I need a new phone now?

Then my indecision became worse when I told my Mother I was planning to buy a new phone and then she told me to save more money first. And because the S24+ is a bit pricey, my Mother is right. I should save more money first and then buy what I want. (Though I have enough money to start paying in installments.)

Should I buy a new phone at all? I still have May 30 and 31, so wish me luck.

As for what happened today: This morning, a boss from a major client wanted to have the service reports from January to April 2024, so from 11am to 5pm, I scanned and emailed more than 200 documents. I found a way to sort, compress, and send all the reports, but… 200+ papers? Good grief. And that’s just for 2 cities. Tomorrow I still need to scan 200 more, and I also need to accommodate a Zoom meeting at 2:30pm. Wish me luck on that one as well.

And that’s it. That is all.

10-Minute Warning CXIX

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

There are 17 days before my family’s Japan trip, and I’m planning my outfits today. Because Tokyo’s weather will be warm in June, I will bring lightweight clothes and should not worry about layering. But just in case it rains, I will bring my favorite Bullet Club jacket and an umbrella.

Moving on… my 2nd custom Funko Pop may be done earlier than expected – probably at the end of the month. I’m excited for that as well! I’m looking forward to bringing my Pop to the Japan trip!

And now I’m capping this post and the work week with a refreshing, cool Jack and Coke. Happy weekend, everyone!

30-Minute Warning XXIII

So, what can I tell here under 30 minutes?

Finally, after a few days of having an itchy throat, coughing, and feeling weak, now I’m well. Good thing I drank my medicine and had a lot of rest. And because I’m cured and the weekend is about to start, I will drink my favorite Jack and Coke. 1 glass. Or maybe 2. Or maybe 3? I missed drinking cold drinks. Fuck yes!

Anyway, what happened at that birthday party in Laguna last Wednesday? Well, it was peaceful but fun. It was the nth birthday of my Father’s friend, Lolo Roel, in heaven. It was nice having pizza and soft drinks with my Father, Mother, cousin Yan, and Lolo Roel’s family while we caught up with current events and reminisced about the good times. After that, we ate and talked more at the nearest Teriyaki Boy before going home.

Happiest birthday in heaven, Lolo Roel. Thank you and your family for caring for me when I was 1-4 years old while my parents worked afar. I had a speech problem when I was little, but you and your loved ones never find it annoying and difficult. All of your beloved love you and miss you so much.

As for how my day went today: I’m supposed to start working on my monthly billings, but I got lazy. I will start during the weekend. Or Monday morning. Whatever. I shouldn’t worry about work because it’s the weekend! Yes!

Erratum (May 3, 2024): I’m not supposed to edit my Minute Warning post, but I had a tiny error that needs editing. In the 1st sentence, I typed “10 minutes” instead of “30 minutes”. My bad.
