10-Minute Warning LXXXIII

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Today, I feel sad. I have messaged my top choice for my birthday venue twice; 1 for yesterday and 1 for today. But I never got a reply – not even once. If this means I should look elsewhere, so be it. But it would have been all right with me and I would understand if they said they could not host my party.

Anyway, I’m looking at a few alternatives tonight, and I might visit 1 or 2 of those venues on Friday. Or maybe tomorrow. I will see about that.

Damn. I feel like drinking a Jack and Coke tonight. But I don’t want to. I promised myself that I would only drink during weekends. (I might break that rule on my birthday though. My birthday (December 5) this year falls on a Tuesday.)

And time’s up.

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.

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes after drinking 2 cans of Jack and Coke at 1am?

Yesterday I went to a music festival with my Mother and my Younger Brother. Besides knowing I would see my Youngest Brother perform with his bandmates, I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived at the venue, I was pleasantly surprised. I noticed that my favorite Jack and Coke “powered” the event, and I was so happy to have a drink sample at 4pm. And my Youngest Brother and their bandmate not only joined a battle of the bands, but they won the contest and received PHP 100,000 in the process. That is fucking awesome. Congratulations to them!

What else? After coming home from the music festival, I started watching this South Korean series called Vigilante. The premise caught my attention – it is about a police university student who is a violent vigilante at night. There are 2 episodes so far, and it is right up my alley – vigilantism. Thank you, Disney+, for recommending it. It is definitely on top of my watch list so far.

And time’s up.
