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 LXVI

Yesterday, I woke up feeling down. So I joined my Mother and Father in their grocery shopping, and I got to buy 8 cans of Jack and Coke. That’s a maximum of 2 cans per Friday or Saturday night. Because of that, I went home feeling good… then I remembered something that broke my heart. I brought that feeling to my sleep.

Today, I got my weekly hangout at Satchmi at lunchtime. I enjoyed my favorite affogato while I updated my planner/journal, so I was able to get things off my chest somehow. Then I went to Ippudo and had ramen with my Mother, Father, and Younger Brother. What a lovely lunch. After our lunch and a fresh haircut, I went home feeling good… then I remembered again that one thing that broke my heart.

What’s that one thing that broke my heart? I’m not ready to talk about that here on The Dispatch. In fact, I have never talked about it to anyone, and I would like to keep it that way for now.

Anyway, I just remembered what happened last September 17, and that makes me feel better. I should sleep better now.

10-Minute Warning LXI

So, what can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Today was a good day. I ran an errand and then I had my weekly hangout at Satchmi. This is the 1st time I visited my favorite cafe at 10am. I usually go there in the afternoon or evening. And what did I have while I was there? My beloved affogato. And I was able to update my planner/journal after. Coolcoolcool!

After my time at Satchmi, I met with my parents at SaladStop! for lunch. This is the 1st time we ate there in their actual spot. We usually order their salads to go. And what did we have for today? Their Hail Caesar and Taco Loco. The former was good, but the latter was excellent! (It must be the spiciness.) Next time I will order some more Taco Loco with extra chicken bits.

After our lunch, we went home and I tried to nap… but I can’t. The affogato’s espresso that I had was so strong (which I love). So I watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother, and I’m so close to finishing the entire series (again).

I’m supposed to write more but my time is up.
