The Diary of The Deranged Writer
Where fiction meets reality, between light, darkness and absurdity.
Because of my current mood, I don’t feel like writing a lengthy post today. Instead, let me quote the chorus of my favorite My Chemical Romance song.
What’s the worst that I can say?
My Chemical Romance’s “Helena”
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
That is all.

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?
Well, today was a productive day. After all the partying and eating with my loved ones, today is the perfect day to return to work. Notably, I started working on the billings for December 2023, and I’m planning to finish them tomorrow.
After work, I took an afternoon nap and planned on writing at Oversight. Instead, I updated my journal at home and went out at 8pm to walk and jog at Three Trees. I walked 6 km. (This is my 2nd walk/jog session of 2024. I went for my 1st one on the night of January 1, and I also walked 6 km.)
Right now, my legs are so sore. I’m tired but happy because I started one of my resolutions for 2024. Here’s to starting my other resolutions!
And time’s up.

So, what can I share here under 30 minutes?
Yes, I promised myself to make the year-end post today, and I started writing it at 12am. But honestly, until now I’m still not finished. I give up. I can’t force myself to finish the post today. It’s New Year’s Eve, for crying out loud. I’m supposed to be in a festive mood today. And I’m only human; I make mistakes. A lot of mistakes.
Right now I’m at Oversight, updating my journal. I promised myself to write more online and offline this coming 2024, so I’m starting today. And I’m supposed to have an affogato today, New Year’s Eve (my year-end tradition), but unfortunately they ran out of ice cream. Instead I ordered an iced mocha. Still refreshing and energizing. With that, I need to change my year-end tradition a bit: end the year with any caffeinated drink at my favorite cafe, not just an affogato.
Today, I might buy a new smartphone so I can pursue my content creation plans this coming year. Might. I don’t know. I want a new phone, but I don’t know. Should I even? What do you think?
Anyway, let me end this post with this: To everyone, have a happy 2024 and beyond!
