30-Minute Warning XXV

So, what can I share here under 30 minutes after not blogging last Wednesday and yesterday?

Well, I apologize for the lack of updates recently because I don’t feel like following my blogging schedule this week. I have been following said schedule for a long time, and I think I deserve to break the rules and take a break once in a while. I’m no writing machine; I’m only human. But since I still want to blog 3 times a week, I’m blogging today… on a Saturday.

Anyway, what happened while I was not writing here on The Diary? I’m getting a new custom Funko Pop made by the amazingly talented Gino Roberto. I love the 1st version of my custom Pop, and I’m confident he will kill it on the 2nd version! I made a downpayment yesterday and will have it delivered a few days before the Japan trip. I’m so stoked!

As for what happened today? Well, I don’t have anything to work on today, so I dropped by the condominium to give my Elder Brother and Youngest Brother their clothes, and then I watched 2 episodes of X-Men ’97. I regret not watching the animated series sooner, but at least I have a series to binge-watch this weekend. And thank you, Elder Brother, for giving me some Magnum Cookies & Cream while watching the series.

After binge-watching, I dropped by Oversight and had my weekly dose of affogato. SM Megamall has a 5-day sale, so I’m surprised that I enjoyed my favorite coffee and ice cream combo at my favorite spot in my favorite cafe. Nice. And even though there was a mall-wide sale, I didn’t buy anything – not even the Samsung Galaxy S24+ or S24 Ultra I wanted. I might buy either before the end of May, but still…

Anyway, I should watch episode 3 of X-Men ’97 while I drink a cold glass of Jack and Coke. It’s finally the weekend!

10-Minute Warning CII

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Right now, I just walked away from my usual jogging path because there is a car that has been circling around said path. I may be paranoid, but I have to stay away to be safe. As the saying goes, “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Anyway, I like the weather right now. The cool breeze makes the walking and jogging around comfortable. I like it! I will miss this kind of weather when March comes. (In the Philippines, March is the start of summer.)

What else? Oh! I just reached 6km. Good job, self! And thank you, my Mi Watch, for tracking my steps and kilometers reached.

I just remembered: Tetsuo Kurata of Kamen Rider BLACK will have a meet-and-greet tomorrow at The Linden Suites. This is a rare opportunity, so I might go there to have a photo taken with one of my childhood heroes. But that means I should wake up early on a Saturday. Wish me luck!

And time’s up.
