X: From 2023 to 2024 (A Year-End Post) I

At exactly 12am on December 2023, I started writing my year-end post while finishing my 2nd Jack and Coke. I made an outline of all the good and bad things that happened in my year 2023, and then I started fleshing out what I outlined.

While I was writing the almost middle of the post, I yawned. I said to myself, “Crap. I feel tired. I’m supposed to finish this post.” But then I decided not to fight the sleepiness, so I hopped on the couch and napped.

5 minutes later, I woke up, and my laptop was off. I didn’t turn off my laptop.

And then I heard a voice. “Hi, Dewey.”

I looked up and I saw myself – a version of myself, that is. He is The Deranged Writer of 2008.

OK. Now I’m back on track – specifically, I’m back to planning my birthday party. And thanks to my Younger Brother, I’m considering a birthday party at… Jollibee. That’s right. The most popular chain of family-friendly fast food restaurants in the Philippines. We will see about that though. I still might end up having a party at my top option, Satchmi.

Anyway, how was my day at work today? It was productive. I finished sorting all the billings for this month and then printed them out. I will submit those billings tomorrow.

After work, my Younger Brother, cousin and I exercised at Three Trees, and then we walked a bit more nearby while we were talking about diet, our careers and my birthday plans. That’s when my Younger Brother brought up the Jollibee party idea. Once again, thank you for the suggestion, Younger Brother.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning LXXVIII

I have to admit: I’m mostly lazy today.

I’m supposed to finish some billings today, but I didn’t. I’m supposed to eat on time, but I didn’t. I’m supposed to update my Moleskine journal, but I didn’t. And I’m supposed to write a Notes to Self post, but I didn’t.

But what’s the one thing that is off my lazy list? Taking care of my sick Younger Brother. I hope he gets well soon.
