10-Minute Warning LXXIV

Hello there. I would like to apologize for the lack of update last Friday. I got the flu on that day, and it was so bad that I don’t even have the strength to blog on mobile. I spent the weekend in my room recovering and drinking lots of vitamins and fluids. Thank you, my family, for taking good care of me while I’m recovering. I love you all.

Right now I’m feeling much better, and I hope to get back into my regular blogging soon. I will keep you posted.

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!
