10-Minute Warning XIX

What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Mother, Father, and I ran errands at the mall this morning. And during the ride to the mall, my tumbler spilled my backpack. I got anxious for a second because I had a backup smartphone and a power bank inside the bag. I had to wipe those gadgets right away with a dry towel.

After running errands, I stopped by my beloved Satchmi and had my weekly affogato. I only stayed in the cafe for 10 minutes though because I know Father wants to go home before rush hour. And staying in the cafe for 10 minutes is better than not at all. At least I can say that I had my weekly hangout time at my favorite cafe.

After coming home, I checked my backpack and the gadgets. All of them are dry now, but it still bothers me that I spilled my bag and what’s inside of it. I hope I can charge the affected gadgets properly tonight or tomorrow. And damn it, anxiety. Stop bothering me.

As I type this, I’m also watching Voltes V (the anime). Thank goodness Anime Club uploaded the entire series on YouTube so I can prepare myself for the upcoming live-action series Voltes V: Legacy. The new series will start on May 8 at 8pm on GMA 7. I’m so stoked!

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning XI

Well, what can I type here in under 10 minutes?

For the 1st time since I started blogging more frequently, I feel so lazy to write. But I think it would help me stop being lazy if I talk about it here. Right, Dispatch? Thank you for understanding. Now I’m ready to write again.

Oh! Today was a bit productive at work. Around lunchtime, I joined Father in surveying a condominium for the 2nd time. And this time we have company – air-con technicians from another firm. I believe my dad is overseeing the whole installation? We will return to the condo and check the installation process tomorrow morning.

After today’s survey, Father and I went home, ate some air-fried chicken, and napped. We woke up at 6pm, and our local version of Family Feud was on TV. We were supposed to go to the mall with Mother and have a haircut tonight, but perhaps we all got lazy. I hope we can have our haircut before we leave for our Cagayan trip this coming Saturday.

Speaking of Saturday, last Saturday, March 25, I was sad. Why? March 25, 2019, was the day I almost died, and March 25, 2022, was the day the drummer of my favorite band Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins, died. I’m supposed to write about what happened to me and a tribute to Taylor, but I’m too sad to even start a draft. Maybe next time.

And time’s up.

Notes to Self III

Last February 6, 2023, I promised myself to start blogging more often again. I started by launching a blogging series called Notes to Self (where I remind myself of a relevant quote from any form of media or someone I know.)

Today I’m celebrating my 1st monthsary of frequent blogging here on The Dispatch. I’m so proud of myself because it has been so long since I followed a blogging schedule successfully. (I think the last time I religiously blogged, Tumblr was in its 1st or 2nd year of existence.) And I’m not planning on stopping soon.

Anyway, let me celebrate my 1st blogging monthsary with the 3rd edition of Notes to Self, the very 1st blogging series I launched here on The Dispatch. And in this episode, I want to quote one of my favorite lines from the longest-running sci-fi series in the world, Doctor Who.

Spoiler warning if you have not seen the Doctor Who Series 5 episode “Vincent and The Doctor”.
