10-Minute Warning CXV

Hello, Diary. I’ll make this quick.

Right now I’m enjoying my 3rd Jack and Coke while having a movie night with my Younger Brother and cousins. We were on the edge of our seats while watching Olympus Has Fallen, and now we are watching the sequel London Has Fallen. I hope the sequel is as good as the 1st one.

In other news, well… I rarely talk about my love life here on The Diary, but I just updated my dating app profile and I’m testing the waters a bit. It has been a few years since I used the app, and I have been swiping left a lot. But whenever I see a profile that is worthy of a right swipe, I close the app. Damn it. Good luck to me, I guess?

And time’s up. Happy weekend!

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 Oversight. 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…
