10-Minute Warning CXXVII

All right. What can I blog here for under 10 minutes?

I have been re-watching the sci-fi crime drama, Person of Interest, for the nth time. I started binge-watching (again) when I went to Tokyo with my family last month. I’m on Season 3 now as I type this post, and I’m about to enter the Endgame trilogy – one of my favorite arcs of the show. I needed a snack and a Coke Zero during my binge-watching, but I’m too lazy to go out.

What is Person of Interest all about? It’s about Harold Finch (a reclusive billionaire hacker, played by Michael Emerson) and John Resse (an ex-CIA assassin, played by Jim Caviezel) attempting to prevent premeditated violent crimes from happening with the help of a surveillance system called The Machine. As the show progresses, it turns from a unique case-of-the-week story into an extraordinary grounded sci-fi series. Person of Interest is my favorite show of all time, and I believe it is one of the most underrated shows ever. If you have not watched the series, please watch it. You will not regret it.

I will make a review series for Person of Interest here on The Diary sooner or later, but for now, I’m enjoying the ride (again).

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!
