10-Minute Warning XCVI

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Well, at work, I finally finished scanning all the needed quotations. Tomorrow, I will run errands.

After work, I joined my Mother, Younger Brother, cousin and maid in going to Ayala Triangle Gardens. We had some caffeinated drinks at a newly-opened spot, attended Night 4 of the anticipated Simbang Gabi, and then we watched the lights show (something the family and I usually do every year). After the lights show, we had some pizza and pasta for dinner.

We got home at 10pm, and I’m so tired. I will start re-watching one of my favorite shows ever, Chuck.

And time’s up.

OK. What can I write here under 10 minutes?

Well, tonight I went to Night 1 of Simbang Gabi. For those who don’t know what Simbang Gabi is, it’s a series of Holy Masses in preparation for Christmas. It is a 9-day period, and the official start of it is on December 16. This year though, I’m going to attend the anticipated Simbang Gabi, so tonight, December 15, is my Night 1. And like the past few years, I’m going to attend all 9 Masses.

I’m so sure my friends will be surprised when they find out that I go to Mass.

As I’m typing this on mobile, I’m also gulping my 2nd ice-cold Jack and Coke of the night while I’m watching White Collar with my Father. The weekend has begun!

Damn. I’m so buzzed right now. Am I even writing properly?

I had a productive day today. Notably, I finished all the billings for November 2023. I just need to print those billings out and photocopy some reports tomorrow.

After that, I walked and jogged around Three Trees from 8 to 9pm. It has been almost 2 weeks since the last time I was at a jogging path. After walking and jogging for an hour, I met with my Younger Brother and we walked some more while we talked about our favorite food and drinks.

What else? Oh! Simbang Gabi starts this weekend, and I’m planning to attend the anticipated Masses instead of going to the actual Masses at 2am. Wish me luck!
