30-Minute Warning XXXIX

What can I tell here under 30 minutes?

Today, I got the peaceful Sunday that I wanted. There was one thing on today’s to-do list that I didn’t get to do (which is to try the Ube Pinipig from Panco Cafe), but at least I was able to do my Sunday habit: go to Mass with my family. My heart and soul are simply happy.

And there was a bonus treat: After Mass, my Mother, cousins, and I went to Army Navy and I had my favorite food in the world—a chicken burrito with orange cheese. After more than a month of not eating my favorite dish, I finally did. Thank you for the wonderful treat, Mother!

In a previous post, I said that I want to make changes in my life slowly but surely. Aside from having one celebratory glass of Jack & Coke Zero per week, moving forward, I also swear to have my favorite burrito occasionally instead of every week. Why? Firstly, I want to save more money. Secondly, I have been celebrating my small victories every weekend with said burrito. But this time, I want to make the chicken burrito special again, so having it on special occasions does that. And tonight’s chicken burrito is extra special because my Mother ordered it for me. Thank you once again, my beloved Mother!

And my 30 minutes are up. See you in the next post.

Watch V: John Cena’s Pipe Bomb and CM Punk’s Rap Promo

The rivalry between John Cena and (one of my favorite pro wrestlers of all time) CM Punk in 2011 is one of my top 10 favorite pro wrestling feuds of all time. Everything that happened in that story—the buildup, the Pipe Bomb promo, their legendary WWE Championship match at Money in the Bank—is perfectly executed. So, upon learning that Cena plans to retire this 2025, I truly hoped that “The Greatest of All Time” and “The Best in the World” could reignite their rivalry.

After that shocking John Cena heel turn, facing Cody Rhodes for the WWE title at WrestleMania 41, battling Randy Orton on Backlash, facing his “biggest fan” R-Truth at Saturday Night’s Main Event, interfering in the Jey Uso/Logan Paul world title match on the same night, and the Cena/Paul vs Rhodes/Uso match at Money in the Bank, on the June 9, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw, CM Punk confronted Cena and challenged him for the WWE Championship. Cena said yes, but the match will happen on Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.

On that episode of Raw, my hope for another chapter in the John Cena/CM Punk feud became reality, but this time the alignments changed: Punk is a face and Cena is a heel champion. Since then, it has been only a few weeks, but the buildup to their Night of Champions match is fucking spectacular.

What are the best parts of the buildup? Firstly…

Song of the Moment LXXXIX: My Chemical Romance’s “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)”

After a long day at work and finishing my nightly rituals, I just want to listen to my favorite music while I wait for my medicine to kick in. And I choose My Chemical Romance’s “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” as my Song of the Moment because it is literally my song of the moment as I type this. Thank you, Spotify.

And don’t worry. I’m all right. In fact, I’m happy. I promise.
