10-Minute Warning CXIX

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

There are 17 days before my family’s Japan trip, and I’m planning my outfits today. Because Tokyo’s weather will be warm in June, I will bring lightweight clothes and should not worry about layering. But just in case it rains, I will bring my favorite Bullet Club jacket and an umbrella.

Moving on… my 2nd custom Funko Pop may be done earlier than expected – probably at the end of the month. I’m excited for that as well! I’m looking forward to bringing my Pop to the Japan trip!

And now I’m capping this post and the work week with a refreshing, cool Jack and Coke. Happy weekend, everyone!

30-Minute Warning XXVI

I thought of skipping another blogging day because I have nothing to say other than that today is an ordinary day. I did my daily rituals, worked a bit, and that’s it… until I saw my laptop battery fluctuating tonight.

I have been using my Youngest Brother’s old laptop since last year, and the device has been through a lot. The left speaker is broken and I cannot use my laptop without its charger. Then tonight, while I was checking on my WordPress dashboard, my laptop suddenly shut down. Of course, I checked my laptop charger if it was loose and then opened my laptop again. After rebooting, I checked on my laptop’s battery percentage, and it was going up and down like crazy; it went from 98% to 100% per second. I freaked out. Good grief.

I tried to unplug and replug the charger, which solved the problem. The battery is steady again. Thank goodness. But I may need to thoroughly check my laptop (especially the battery) or buy a new one.

What else? Speaking of buying something, I might settle with the Samsung Galaxy S24+ instead of the S24 Ultra. I may need to check both phones again before making my final decision, but I have to decide before the end of May to get a discount. Samsung has a sale this month apparently.

And… that’s it. That’s all I can say for now. See you on Friday.

Song of the Moment XXVIII: Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”

27 years ago today, my favorite band of all time, Foo Fighters, released arguably their best album to date, The Colour and the Shape. And one of the songs on the album, “Everlong”, is not only one of the best Foos songs but also, in my opinion, one of the best love songs ever.

I already blogged about the acoustic version of “Everlong” in a previous Song of the Moment post, so tonight I will share a bit about the original version. Why is it a great Foos song and a great love song? I will give a few reasons: (1) the sweet, exciting rock instrumentals and (2) the chorus. Man. The chorus.

If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”

I will write more about this song soon as part of the Listen blogging series, but for now, I will keep listening to “Everlong” and the other amazing songs from The Colour and the Shape tonight. And I suggest you check out the Foos’ magnum opus as well.

The music video of Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”.

That is all.
