I have been listening to Enya’s songs since last night – notably “Anywhere Is” – and it has been an otherworldly experience. Her music is so ethereal and relaxing (partly because I grew up listening to her), and I can’t get enough of it. I should check out her other albums soon.
I walk the maze of moment
Enya’s “Anywhere Is”
But everywhere I turn to
Begins a new beginning
But never finds a finish
That is all.

OK. What can I share here in under 30 minutes?
Let me recall what happened last weekend. Last Friday night, I had my weekly Jack and Coke and an Army Navy California Burger to kick off the weekend. This is why I’m fat. But whatever. My weekend kick-off makes me happy. But this time, I lessened the number of Jack and Cokes I drank – I drank 2 instead of 3. My therapist told me to slowly lessen the drinking instead of going cold turkey, so I did. As much as I want to gulp my favorite drink, I need to take care of my health.
How about last Saturday? Well, the day was all right. I paid some bills and I rested a lot. Thank goodness for the weekend. But the most note-worthy thing happened during the night: my younger brothers’ band joined a battle of the bands. As usual, I recorded their whole set, but I was screaming and cheering for them this time. Unfortunately, they lost, but what matters is they did their best. Better luck next time… and I will invite more people to cheer for the band. And hats off to the other bands – they also killed it and they deserve the cheers they got.
As for Sunday, I went to church and then I dropped by my favorite spot Satchmi. But before I went to my favorite cafe, I suddenly saw a friend that I had not seen in… a decade? Yeah! It was that long. But seeing my friend for a few seconds made my day – the 1st friend I interacted with in person this 2024. I love it when I see good friends suddenly and without planning it! After seeing my friend and having my weekly cafe drink, I joined my Mother and cousins in having some tasty ramen for dinner. My weekend ended on a lovely note!
Moving on to today, I feel great! What happened during the weekend gave me a lot of energy to do all the sudden workload for today. And working while listening to the Foo Fighters’ 10th studio album Medicine at Midnight – which was released 3 years ago today – motivated me even further. Thank you, my favorite band.
I started my week strong, and I hope to keep it up throughout the week and beyond!
And time’s up.

Just when I thought My Chemical Romance’s “Helena” sounded depressing as is, Puddles Pity Party made it more melancholic with his calmer, slower cover. This is my favorite MCR cover ever.
To my loved ones, if ever I die soon, please play this cover and a Prince piano cover at my funeral.
That is all.
