Notes to Self VIII

Recently, whenever my parents/bosses didn’t have a task for me, I did a few job interviews. And not one employer gave a job offer; not even an entry-level one. I thought all the rejections I have taken since the COVID-19 pandemic had toughened me up, but it still breaks my heart whenever a potential employer doesn’t take a chance on me. I truly feel like giving up on hunting for a web/graphic design job and just focusing on the clerical work that I have now.

Then recently, while I was binge-watching the American crime mystery/dramedy series Castle, I heard a quote from Richard Castle (played by Nathan Fillion) for his daughter Alexis (played by Molly Quinn) that hit my heart.

And that, my friends, is my 8th Note to Self.

10-Minute Warning LXX

I only have 24 minutes left before midnight so I need to make this quick.

I went to my younger brothers’ birthday benefit gig in Quezon City, and it was amazing! The gig’s theme is intimate acoustic, and the dress code is pajamas. I enjoyed listening to all the bands playing unplugged versions of their songs and covers while I’m comfortably wearing my Batman v Superman t-shirt and flannel pajama bottoms.

Right now I’m in a Mexican restaurant in Makati with my Younger Brother, and I’m excited to try their quesa birria. Happiest of birthdays to my younger bro!

10-Minute Warning LXIX

So, this is the 69th Minute Warning post. Nice.

Moving on, what happened in my life today? Well, I spent my afternoon planning my birthday theme and venue. Again. I’m supposed to start booking on October 5, but even now, I’m not sure whether I go for a karaoke costume party, a coffee and chill party, or a game night. I’m sure though that my party will happen at night.

Crap. Planning a birthday that is not a simple dinner is harder than I thought. Maybe I should just do another dinner party. (I think I said that before in a previous post.) But anyway, I should decide on the theme, contact all possible venues, and then invite my family and friends on or before November 5.

And… that’s it. That’s about it.
