Song of the Moment IV: Pieter Anø’s “Purple Rain” (A Prince Cover)

To my loved ones: If ever I die soon, please play Pieter Anø’s piano cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain” at my funeral.

That is all.

10-Minute Warning XCVI

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Well, at work, I finally finished scanning all the needed quotations. Tomorrow, I will run errands.

After work, I joined my Mother, Younger Brother, cousin and maid in going to Ayala Triangle Gardens. We had some caffeinated drinks at a newly-opened spot, attended Night 4 of the anticipated Simbang Gabi, and then we watched the lights show (something the family and I usually do every year). After the lights show, we had some pizza and pasta for dinner.

We got home at 10pm, and I’m so tired. I will start re-watching one of my favorite shows ever, Chuck.

And time’s up.

30-Minute Warning XIII

Surprise! I’m blogging on a Sunday at 1am!

I just drank 3 Jack and Cokes that I mixed myself. And before that, I bought 4 cans of Jack and Coke and 1.5L of Coke Zero at the nearest 7-Eleven. I’m running out of Jack Daniel’s whiskey, so I must buy another bottle before 2023 ends.

You’re wondering, “The Deranged Writer surely drinks a lot of Jack and Coke.” Yes, I am. But in my defense, I only drink during weekends unless I’m in a gig or a social event during weekdays (which rarely happens; the social events I go to usually happen during weekends or late Thursdays). I know that eventually I will lessen my drinking as I get older, but right now I’m enjoying being buzzed after drinking my favorite alcoholic drink. I’m 33, for crying out loud.

Last night, I did something I had never done before: take a bath while being tipsy or drunk. I don’t even know if I did my entire routine step by step, but I’m sure I feel refreshed right now. A few cans of Jack and Coke and a cold bath = perfect combination.

This morning, I need to run errands at the mall. I’m sure there will be more people at the mall because of the Christmas rush, so I need to go to the mall as early as possible and accomplish what I need to accomplish. After that, I will go to my favorite spot Satchmi, have my affogato, and write in my journal there, and then I will attend Night 3 of the anticipated Simbang Gabi.

What else? Oh! I’m listening to Sheryl Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy” on repeat. It still screams what I’m feeling right now.

And time’s up.
