Song of the Moment XXIX: Linkin Park’s “One More Light”

Today was a productive day for me. I sent some repair proposals, ordered some materials needed for tomorrow, and went to the bank. And tonight I feel tired and in a mellow mood. What is my Song of the Moment this time? It’s “One More Light”, the last single of Linkin Park with vocalist Chester Bennington.

I don’t think I have mentioned this in The Diary, but Linkin Park is one of my top 5 favorite bands ever and Chester Bennington is one of my top 3 singers ever. Linkin Park’s songs have been an integral part of my teenage years (and beyond that) and they give me catharsis and comfort. “One More Light” is no exception.

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone’s time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

Rest in peace, Chester. We miss you.

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.
