10-Minute Warning CLX

I will make this quick.

I was supposed to exercise or drop by my favorite cafe tonight, but I chose neither because I had a stressful day at work. Normally I could handle the stress of working on multiple tasks, but today’s stress is… something else. It’s the kind of stress that left me feeling unhappy and unmotivated even if I had a long and productive day at work.

So, tonight I chose to munch on a few cheese slices while watching a South Korean dark fantasy series called The Judge from Hell. I’m currently on episode 3. See you tomorrow, I hope.

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

In my first week of 2025, I feel so inspired to write in my actual diary and planner, make a few drafts here on The Diary, exercise at home and at my favorite jogging path, and work for the family business. I feel so productive and fine overall.

In my second week so far though… not so much. I mean, I’m doing all right with my diary/planner writing and at my day job, but I’m not doing well with exercising and writing here on The Diary. My blog post count for January 2025 so far is 3 (including this post) and I have 0 workouts this week. This sucks. I need to push myself further. Maybe another hangout at my favorite cafe will motivate me…

And that’s all for now.

All right. What can I share under 20 minutes of the penultimate day of 2024?

Today I didn’t want to go out because of this incredibly awful dream. The entire dream felt so real because I had this feeling it would truly happen in real life, and it affected my mood for almost the whole day. But even if I had a bad dream, I had to join my brothers and cousins in their shopping before the New Year’s Eve festivities. I needed to buy a gift for Secret Santa, among other things.

Before I ran errands, I had an affogato at my favorite cafe Satchmi to feel better and to keep going. After that, I bought the things I needed to buy (including the Secret Santa gift) and went home with my brothers and cousins. Thank you for bringing us to the mall and back home, Younger Brother.

Crap. I’m almost out of time, and I almost forgot to mention that I had a chicken burrito at Mexicali before going home. Their burritos are wonderful. Seriously. I should have not forgotten that.

Happy holidays, everyone.
