10-Minute Warning CLXVIII

Hello, Diary. Let me explain the lack of updates since Monday.

In my current job as an admin assistant, being busier during the first week of the month is pretty normal. But since this week started, I’m so swamped to the point that I don’t even have time to write here on The Diary or even offline. (Well, until now. I’m using my afternoon break to make time for blogging this quickly. And that’s it.) Yes, I also have time after work, but recently, I have been using that time to rest and take it easy. That is how busy I am lately.

I hope to find more blogging time this coming weekend… or perhaps tomorrow because I have a lot of things on my mind.

10-Minute Warning CLXVII

What can I write here under 10 minutes?

Physically, I’m better now. It looks like I’m getting used to eating less carbohydrates now. And as for my mind, it is not all over the place compared to last Sunday. If I do get anxious, I can handle it better now. Thank you always, Dr. M, for the breathing exercises and the techniques to ease my anxiety.

And what’s up with me aside from work? Well, I just finished Season 1 of Daredevil, and now I’m onto Season 2. I love all three seasons of Daredevil, and I think I will finish them (again) just in time for the new series Daredevil: Born Again. I’m so stoked to see one of my favorite Marvel characters in action again this March 5, 2025 (Philippine time) on Disney+.

And… that’s it. That’s all I can say for now.

Song of the Moment LXXIII: Queen’s “Father to Son”

Today’s work tasks made my head spin because there were too many numbers to deal with. But I endured them all because, after work, I spent some quality time with my Father at my favorite cafe Satchmi. My Father had an espresso and, because their affogato is still unavailable, I had an iced mocha.

Whenever I’m alone with my Father, he always talks about how he grew up poor and how he gave his blood, sweat, and tears to achieve success. He also reminds me to be strong no matter how tough it gets. I have heard his stories before, but I keep listening because the entire family and I would not have a comfortable life if he did not work hard. I will always be thankful to my Father, and I’m trying my best to be as strong as he is.

Oh… Queen’s “Father to Son” was playing on my mind when I talked to my Father today. So tonight, it’s my Song of the Moment. (And have I mentioned that Queen is one of my top five favorite bands of all time? No? Now you know.)

Queen’s “Father to Son”.

Until the next post.
