10-Minute Warning XII

So, what can I type in here in under 10 minutes?

Unfortunately, 10 minutes is all I have. I feel lazy to work, do chores or even write this post. But I must because I don’t want to ruin my blogging streak that started last February 6. So, I’m writing about my laziness to write here.

I don’t know why I became so lazy after weeks of blogging frequently. Maybe it’s the summer heat sucking my energy. Maybe it’s because I got used to eating and sleeping more during my week-long vacation in Cagayan. Or maybe it’s both. All I know is that I’m so fucking lazy. I hope I can eliminate this laziness in the next post due Wednesday.

Now that’s said, what happened in my life today? Nothing much. I did a bit of work, then I joined Mother and Younger Brother in running errands. After that, I had my favorite affogato at Satchmi even if I have a bit of a cold. (Don’t worry. I don’t have COVID-19. According to 2 rapid tests, I tested negative.) It feels good to be back in my favorite cafe after a week away from the city, even for just a few minutes.

And time’s up.

30-Minute Warning IV

OK. What can I type here in under 30 minutes even if I’m lazy as fuck?

Tonight is our last night here in Cagayan. My legs are sore and I have a bit of a cold, and that explains why I’m lazy to write. But I have been doing a good job blogging frequently since February 6, and I don’t want to ruin my streak. So, here I am.

Tomorrow at 6am, we will go back to Manila. A part of me is glad to return home; another part is dreading. There are a few things in the trip that I find disappointing, but overall I had a great time. I hope we can go back to Cagayan annually like we used to, and I hope we can bring more companions. As they say, “The more, the merrier.”

As for my legs being sore, I got the pain from a 300+ step journey to Cape Engaño Lighthouse in Palaui Island, Santa Ana, Cagayan. Good grief, I’m so sore. But I got several photos of the breathtaking 360-degree view of Dos Hermanas Island, so the pain is somehow worth it. Now I have more content for my Cagayan post, and I hope to finish everything next week. I will see.

As I said, tomorrow we will go back to Manila. Tomorrow is Maundy Thursday, so we will expect traffic and a few closed establishments. And there will be more closed shops on Good Friday. With that, I will take another break and reflect, and then I will get my favorite affogato at Satchmi on Black Saturday or Easter Sunday.

And time’s up.
