10-Minute Warning CIII

OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Once again, I’m not in a good mood. But time this, that should not stop me from writing here on The Dispatch. I will not be able to accomplish anything if I keep on letting my bad mood stop me.

Moving on… I got my salary today – 2 days after the actual payday. I’m not complaining though. At least I got my salary already. This time though, I’m more careful about spending my money. I want to limit my spending in the next 2 weeks at least. That means I can’t go out with friends for now and I would spend less if I were to go to my favorite restaurants and cafes.

What else? Oh! My Younger Brother is at the airport now. He is going to Cebu for the Sinulog Festival. I’m happy for him. He has been working so hard on his endeavors and he deserves a break. Have a fun and safe trip, my brother!

What else? Since my Younger Brother is on vacation, I’m expecting more workload in the next several days and I will need to go to my ENT visit alone. And I quote The Rock, “Just bring it!”

And time’s up.

Song of the Moment VII: Foo Fighters’ “Everlong (Acoustic)”

Yesterday, January 14, 2024, was the 55th birthday of my number 1 hero, Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters. I wanted to pay tribute to my idol with a long post, but until now I’m still not done with it. I don’t want to rush it; I want my tribute post to be perfect, and I hope to finish it by this month.

In the meantime, let me share a video of Dave Grohl performing the acoustic version of arguably his magnum opus, “Everlong”. The video was originally aired on March 20, 2021, as part of Oates Song Fest 7908. It has 2 parts: (1) the songwriting process and (2) the performance itself. Skip to 6:56 if you want to check out the performance right away. It’s so breathtaking. I love the acoustic version as much as I love the original one.

Dave Grohl explains the songwriting process of Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” and then performs the acoustic version.

Happiest birthday, Dave Grohl! Thank you for cheering me up and saving me through your music. You will always be my ultimate hero!

10-Minute Warning CII

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Right now, I just walked away from my usual jogging path because there is a car that has been circling around said path. I may be paranoid, but I have to stay away to be safe. As the saying goes, “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Anyway, I like the weather right now. The cool breeze makes the walking and jogging around comfortable. I like it! I will miss this kind of weather when March comes. (In the Philippines, March is the start of summer.)

What else? Oh! I just reached 6km. Good job, self! And thank you, my Mi Watch, for tracking my steps and kilometers reached.

I just remembered: Tetsuo Kurata of Kamen Rider BLACK will have a meet-and-greet tomorrow at The Linden Suites. This is a rare opportunity, so I might go there to have a photo taken with one of my childhood heroes. But that means I should wake up early on a Saturday. Wish me luck!

And time’s up.
