After my errands today and capping off the work week with an ice-cold Jack and Coke, now I’m tired and in a mellow mood, and I would like to simply quote Charlie Burg.
But I only think of you
Charlie Burg’s “I Don’t Wanna Be Okay Without You”
Will we be together soon?
I’m thrown to the wayside
You’re planted in my mind
But I don’t wanna be okay without you
Happy weekend, everyone.
Lately, I have been listening to “Clarity” (a Grammy Award-winning dance-pop/EDM song by Russian/German DJ Zedd that features British pop singer Foxes) on repeat, and initially, I don’t know why. (Pun intended.) But the more I listen to it, I realize that I… miss someone? Whatever. What I do know is that Foxes’ vocals on the song (most notably, the chorus) are so full of emotion that I can visualize her singing with all of her heart as Zedd delivers the sick instrumentals. And the entire lyrics scream what my heart wants to scream right now. Great job, Mr. Zedd and Ms. Foxes!
If our love is tragedy
Zedd’s “Clarity” (feat. Foxes)
Why are you my remedy?
If our love’s insanity
Why are you my clarity?
Also, I saw the music video for “Clarity” just now. I am 11 years too late to the party. Oops. But anyway, I love the video – specifically, I love the parts where Foxes is singing and all the VFX objects breaking and clashing with one another. That video, just like the song, totally earned my thumbs-up.
That is all.

So, what can I type here under 30 minutes?
Oh, goodness… what a long day. I went to Malate to pick up something important, and since El Poco Cantina is nearby, I went there to have a late lunch. Their quesabirria tacos are so yummy that I will go back for more and I will recommend their food (again) to everyone in my inner circle.
After my late lunch, I hopped on the LRT and MRT (something I have not done in [I think] 2 years) and I was reminded of all my daily commutes as a student and as a worker in Makati. The coaches were almost packed to capacity, but it was bearable. It’s a good thing I took the train before rush hour. After the train ride, I went to my favorite spot Satchmi for my affogato fix and to write in my journal. After that, I went to BGC for some more errands, and then I went home.
Basically, I went to 3 different cities today. It was tiring but it was nice and somehow productive.
What else? Oh, right. Taylor Swift is in Singapore for her Eras Tour. She already performed last March 2, 3, 4, 7, and today, March 8 (I’m sure the show already ended after I typed this post). Her final Singapore show (at least for the Eras Tour) will happen tomorrow, March 9. That’s 6 shows in Singapore. Wow. And I’m so happy for my friends who have seen her and will see her live. My favorite band, Foo Fighters, performed at the same stadium last August 26, 2017, and I have so many happy memories of that show. I hope to see the Foos again, Taylor Swift, or any other favorite musical act of mine this 2024 or later. Fingers crossed!
And time’s up.
