10-Minute Warning VI

So, what can I say under 10 minutes and after drinking 5 Jack and Cokes?

I’m currently typing this while listening to the 3rd album of my musically-talented doppelganger Bruno Mars, 24K Magic. And you know how I feel right now? I’m so buzzed, so relaxed, yet like in my element. And yeah, I know that not having friends around while feeling drunk sounds lonely. But at least I don’t get to spend more money drinking one of my favorite drinks. But I do plan on getting drunk with my friends and brothers when I earn enough money to do so. Right now, I only have less than enough money to buy the Batman: The Animated Series Batmobile deluxe – the one with the Batsignal.

What else? Well, tomorrow I’m going to Oversight early. Early afternoon, okay? I can’t go there at 3pm because Mother is going to BGC with her friend and I want to be there as well. And I can’t spend more than PHP 500 as well. As I said, I only have less than enough money to buy the Batmobile deluxe that I want to buy.

And this coming March 16 marks 2 months of being in my family’s company. And I’m not planning to go beyond 3 months. But I’m not sure. I still haven’t found a new job yet. And 2 people have reached out on LinkedIn for a possible job interview. I will reply to them this coming Monday, March 13. Wish me luck!

And crap. I just ran out of Jack Daniel’s. I need to buy a bottle this coming week. Wish me luck on that one as well!

And time’s up.

Notes to Self III

Last February 6, 2023, I made a promise to myself: blog more often again. I started by launching a blogging series called Notes to Self (where I remind myself of a relevant quote from any form of media or someone I know). Today, I’m celebrating my 1st month of frequent blogging here on The Diary. I’m so proud of myself because it’s been years since I’ve blogged religiously. (I think the last time I’ve done that, Tumblr was in its first or second year of existence.) And no, I’m not planning on stopping soon.

Anyway, let me celebrate my first blogging monthsary with the third edition of the same blogging series I started here in The Diary. I want to quote one of my favorite lines from the longest-running sci-fi series in the world, Doctor Who.

Spoiler warning if you haven’t seen the Doctor Who Series 5 episode “Vincent and The Doctor.”

10-Minute Warning V

So, what can I say here in under ten minutes?

Today I’m thankful for the most satisfying, relaxing weekday sleep since entering the family business on January 16. I went home at 1am and then woke up at lunchtime without hearing my parents/bosses complain. I’m sure this will not happen again soon, so I’m thankful.

Also, tonight I gathered my shit together and jogged at Three Trees. This is the 1st exercise I got since March 2023 started. I need to get back to doing aerobics and walking/running. I was not this motivated in February.

And oh! I’m going out in a few minutes and have a drink with Younger Brother, Youngest Brother, and their music buddies. I’m craving Jack & Coke, so I hope the bar we’re going to tonight has that.

And yeah, I know. Jogging and then drinking? Very healthy.

And time’s up.
