30-Minute Warning XXVI

I thought of skipping another blogging day because I have nothing to say other than that today is an ordinary day. I did my daily rituals, worked a bit, and that’s it… until I saw my laptop battery fluctuating tonight.

I have been using my Youngest Brother’s old laptop since last year, and the device has been through a lot. The left speaker is broken and I cannot use my laptop without its charger. Then tonight, while I was checking on my WordPress dashboard, my laptop suddenly shut down. Of course, I checked my laptop charger if it was loose and then opened my laptop again. After rebooting, I checked on my laptop’s battery percentage, and it was going up and down like crazy; it went from 98% to 100% per second. I freaked out. Good grief.

I tried to unplug and replug the charger, which solved the problem. The battery is steady again. Thank goodness. But I may need to thoroughly check my laptop (especially the battery) or buy a new one.

What else? Speaking of buying something, I might settle with the Samsung Galaxy S24+ instead of the S24 Ultra. I may need to check both phones again before making my final decision, but I have to decide before the end of May to get a discount. Samsung has a sale this month apparently.

And… that’s it. That’s all I can say for now. See you on Friday.

10-Minute Warning CXVIII

I will make this quick.

I’m supposed to make a longer post tonight, but my head hurts so much. I ate less during the day, so I thought a heavy meal tonight will cure my headache… but nope. My headache is still there. I need to sleep now.

And this coming week, I will follow my blogging schedule again (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). See you tomorrow!

30-Minute Warning XXV

So, what can I share here under 30 minutes after not blogging last Wednesday and yesterday?

Well, I apologize for the lack of updates recently because I don’t feel like following my blogging schedule this week. I have been following said schedule for a long time, and I think I deserve to break the rules and take a break once in a while. I’m no writing machine; I’m only human. But since I still want to blog 3 times a week, I’m blogging today… on a Saturday.

Anyway, what happened while I was not writing here on The Diary? I’m getting a new custom Funko Pop made by the amazingly talented Gino Roberto. I love the 1st version of my custom Pop, and I’m confident he will kill it on the 2nd version! I made a downpayment yesterday and will have it delivered a few days before the Japan trip. I’m so stoked!

As for what happened today? Well, I don’t have anything to work on today, so I dropped by the condominium to give my Elder Brother and Youngest Brother their clothes, and then I watched 2 episodes of X-Men ’97. I regret not watching the animated series sooner, but at least I have a series to binge-watch this weekend. And thank you, Elder Brother, for giving me some Magnum Cookies & Cream while watching the series.

After binge-watching, I dropped by Satchmi and had my weekly dose of affogato. SM Megamall has a 5-day sale, so I’m surprised that I enjoyed my favorite coffee and ice cream combo at my favorite spot in my favorite cafe. Nice. And even though there was a mall-wide sale, I didn’t buy anything – not even the Samsung Galaxy S24+ or S24 Ultra I wanted. I might buy either before the end of May, but still…

Anyway, I should watch episode 3 of X-Men ’97 while I drink a cold glass of Jack and Coke. It’s finally the weekend!
