10-Minute Warning CLXXII

Hello, Diary. I’m back after a pretty wonderful weekend, which is why I have not blogged the past few days.

What happened? Well, I don’t want to spill the details because I’m tired, but here’s what I can vaguely tell for now:

  • Last Friday, I had a pleasant stroll and a tasty burrito despite the drizzle.
  • Last Saturday, I met and had a photo taken with my childhood crush.
  • I had a solemn Mass and a lovely Sunday dinner with my family.

That’s pretty much it. And I’m aware that I still have not reached my monthly blog count, but I don’t care because, like I said, I had a pretty wonderful weekend.

See you tomorrow!

10-Minute Warning CLXVII

What can I write here under 10 minutes?

Physically, I’m better now. It looks like I’m getting used to eating less carbohydrates now. And as for my mind, it is not all over the place compared to last Sunday. If I do get anxious, I can handle it better now. Thank you always, Dr. M, for the breathing exercises and the techniques to ease my anxiety.

And what’s up with me aside from work? Well, I just finished Season 1 of Daredevil, and now I’m onto Season 2. I love all three seasons of Daredevil, and I think I will finish them (again) just in time for the new series Daredevil: Born Again. I’m so stoked to see one of my favorite Marvel characters in action again this March 5, 2025 (Philippine time) on Disney+.

And… that’s it. That’s all I can say for now.

Song of the Moment LXXI: Philip Glass’s “Metamorphosis: One” (Again)

Have you ever had a dream so happy that you wish the dream would never end? That’s the kind of dream that I had last Sunday, and I woke up feeling happy… and then my smile turned into a frown. It was only a dream.

“But Dewey, it was just a dream. Don’t worry about it.” That’s the thing: It was only a dream.

Since then, I have been struggling to bounce back. I had a hard time fixing my sleeping schedule. I had a hard time finishing my work tasks faster. I had a hard time basically being fine. If I were to add a piece of melancholic background music to my current predicament, it would be “Metamorphosis: One” by Philip Glass. It is one of my favorite sad songs ever.

Philip Glass’s “Metamorphosis One”.

And coincidentally, a year ago today, I also blogged about “Metamorphosis: One” as a Song of the Moment. I only found out after searching the old post. (If you click on the aforementioned link, there’s a spoiler warning if you have not seen “return 0”, the final episode of my all-time favorite series Person of Interest.)

Anyway, even if I’m sad, I will try to keep going. I have to.
