10-Minute Warning CXIII

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Well, sad news: The lowest point of my life happened 5 years ago today, March 25. I’m supposed to reminisce that day through a blog post, but… I can’t finish it today. My mind and heart can’t finish the story today. I’m not even sure if I can tell the story this Wednesday or Friday, but I’m sure there will be a trigger warning before the post.

And some good news: There was reason for me to be happy yesterday, March 24, because it was the 59th birthday of my all-time favorite professional wrestler, Mark Calaway AKA The Undertaker. Happiest birthday, Taker! I hope you had a blast!

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning CXII

Hi, everyone. I was supposed to write a post last night but forgot because I enjoyed my midnight cardio and workout. Enjoying exercise over blogging… is that a good thing? Of course, it is. I need to take care of my physical health as much as my mental health. And honestly, I missed lifting weights. I need to lift more weights as much as I do a lot of walking and jogging.

However, I need to follow my blogging schedule next time – every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (Philippine Standard Time). That means I should write before working out.

I will be back to regular blogging tomorrow. See you all!

10-Minute Warning CXI

All right. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

I have been sick since yesterday. I have been coughing, I have an itchy throat, and I feel so weak. Thank goodness I don’t have that much work today, so I spent most of my day resting. I also drank Bioflu and an African Sea-Coconut cough mixture to heal more quickly… and it worked. As I type this, I feel much better now, though I still cough a bit. That means no cold drinks for me (still) – specifically, no Jack and Coke this Friday night. Oh, well. I hope to be 100% tomorrow or on Sunday.

After writing this post, I will watch one of my all-time favorite movies, the buddy cop action comedy Hot Fuzz. It is one of my comfort movies; I have seen it more than 5 times, and it has helped me get through my 1st noted bout with depression. Thank you, Prime Video, for having Hot Fuzz. You are the best.

Happy weekend, everyone!
