10-Minute Warning CXX

Oh. My. God. I’m tired right now.

I mean, I was out of the house almost the entire day. I joined my parents slash bosses in getting a check in Makati, paid for social insurance, and then went to Lugang Cafe with my parents and my Youngest Brother for lunch. I was craving for some dumplings, so I devoured a lot of those. Thank you, my beloved parents, for the lunch treat. After that, I had my weekly affogato at my favorite cafe Satchmi, and then updated my journal there. Now my week is complete. Thank you, Satchmi.

And then this question popped into my head again: Should I buy the Samsung Galaxy S24+ today? So I went to a few shops and checked for a great deal. Of course, all of them can give the same installment plan. But there is 1 shop that can provide more than just the phone – 3 freebies like a portable Bluetooth speaker, wireless headphones, and a travel adapter. I’m not sure about the freebies’ quality, but 3 freebies? Damn.

But then again, I’m not ready to buy the Samsung Galaxy S24+. So I didn’t buy it. At least today, I didn’t. My Japan trip is coming in 10 days, so I might change my mind about not buying. But right now… no. Not today.

What else can I share here before my 10 minutes is done? Well, other than I’m having an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero, that’s it. That’s it.

30-Minute Warning XXVII

All right. What can I write here in under 30 minutes?

The end of May is nearing, and I’m almost dead set on buying a Samsung Galaxy S24+… almost. I mean, my current phone – a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G – works well after 3 years (and counting) of using it. Though Samsung has a sale ending on Friday, May 31, do I need a new phone now?

Then my indecision became worse when I told my Mother I was planning to buy a new phone and then she told me to save more money first. And because the S24+ is a bit pricey, my Mother is right. I should save more money first and then buy what I want. (Though I have enough money to start paying in installments.)

Should I buy a new phone at all? I still have May 30 and 31, so wish me luck.

As for what happened today: This morning, a boss from a major client wanted to have the service reports from January to April 2024, so from 11am to 5pm, I scanned and emailed more than 200 documents. I found a way to sort, compress, and send all the reports, but… 200+ papers? Good grief. And that’s just for 2 cities. Tomorrow I still need to scan 200 more, and I also need to accommodate a Zoom meeting at 2:30pm. Wish me luck on that one as well.

And that’s it. That is all.

10-Minute Warning CXIX

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

There are 17 days before my family’s Japan trip, and I’m planning my outfits today. Because Tokyo’s weather will be warm in June, I will bring lightweight clothes and should not worry about layering. But just in case it rains, I will bring my favorite Bullet Club jacket and an umbrella.

Moving on… my 2nd custom Funko Pop may be done earlier than expected – probably at the end of the month. I’m excited for that as well! I’m looking forward to bringing my Pop to the Japan trip!

And now I’m capping this post and the work week with a refreshing, cool Jack and Coke. Happy weekend, everyone!
