Tonight, I don’t feel like telling a story as I feel tired physically and mentally. I’m sorry. Let me just quote and share one of Foo Fighters’ deep cuts – coming from the self-titled debut album that was released in 1995. Thank you, my all-time favorite band.
After the bliss has long ended
Foo Fighters’ “Exhausted”
This caution, this fault
Give me a breeze that’s long-winded
Accosted, adult
Arrested
Happy weekend to all.

OK. What can I tell here in under 30 minutes?
Oh, right. About my work today: I answered a few emails, and that’s it. March is nearing though, and in my current job, I’m at my busiest during the 1st and 2nd weeks of the month. I need to be prepared for that upcoming period, but for now, I’m taking it easy.
As for other stuff, well… after work, I bought 2 1.5L bottles of Coke Zero and 3 cans of Jack and Coke. I usually buy those on a Friday night, but my Younger Brother asked me if I could buy some Coke Zero today. So, I did. It’s like a mini-treat for my brother and my Mother, too. And, of course, the Jack and Cokes are mine. (Unless someone at home asks for a can, and I will give it willingly. I’m not selfish.)
What else? I want to bring up the money challenge I took upon myself last year, and I have to be honest: Because of my current salary and it has been hard to look for another stable job, it has been hard to keep up with the money challenge. In 2023, I was able to earn an amount way far from my target total of PHP 78,000, but at least I have enough money to pay for subscriptions and splurge without worries. (But I have not splurged. Yet. I hope to do that by July this year. Fingers crossed on that.)
Speaking of my money challenge, I started doing it again last month, and it has been going well so far. What worries me though is the 2nd half of the year because that’s when the money-saving became difficult for me last year. I just hope that I can find another form of income or at least another stable job so I can reach my target total this year… or, better yet, go beyond that. Wish me luck!
And time’s up.

In today’s post, let me simply share the ultimate song about unrequited love – something I can relate to.
You tell me about the love you’ve had
Odette Quesada’s “Friend of Mine”
And I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you’ll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I’m glad
That is all.
