All right. What can I write here under 10 minutes?
It was a pretty dull day, especially at work. Since I didn’t have any paperwork today, I ran an errand and that was it. And since I was done early, I dropped by my favorite cafe and had my favorite affogato. After an hour though, I went home early—like before rush hour. I don’t feel like staying at the mall until closing time today.
What else? Well, that’s it. Besides having my favorite caffeinated drink, it was a pretty dull day.

It’s Saturday night and I’m still happy from last night because, for the second time, I met one of my childhood heroes, Mr. Tetsuo Kurata, the actor who played Kotaro Minami/Robert Akizuki in the tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Black. This time, I met him at an exclusive dinner in his restaurant Steak House Kurata at Parqal.
The dinner slash meet-and-greet last night was more memorable for me than the first time I met Mr. Kurata because of one key moment: I almost got speechless when Mr. Kurata, his son Kotaro, and Ms. Anne of TokuSpirits approached me while I ate my salad. I had a short message prepared on my phone, but I was so shocked when the man himself was in front of me that I forgot my message. But I got it together seconds later and thanked him for making my childhood awesome. Also, my photos with him this time looked better than my first photo with him. (Too bad I forgot my mask for this though so I can post a photo on my Instagram.) I will always remember this night.
Because of this epic milestone, my Song of the Moment is Kamen Rider Black’s opening song—and Mr. Kurata himself sang it. And I’m listening to the theme song while I’m enjoying my Jack and Coke Zero.
Again, I say to Mr. Tetsuo Kurata, thank you for making my childhood awesome. And thank you, Steak House Kurata and TokuSpirits, for making the exclusive dinner possible. Thank you so much!
(I will try to make a proper post about the event next time because I’m so tipsy as hell right now.)

OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?
Well, today at work, I ordered some spare parts, I got those parts earlier than expected, and I finished all of today’s paperwork on time. I feel so productive and happy after that. And after work, I started watching Daredevil again on Disney+ in preparation for the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again. (The new series about The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen will be released on March 4, 2025.)
Tomorrow, I’m expecting a bit more work. I’m finishing work early though and then I’m going out to an event at night. I’m an introvert; I rarely go out during weekends and I’m not that good at socializing. But I’m expecting some socializing during the event that I’m going to, so good luck to me. Setting aside the socializing aspect, I’m pretty excited for tomorrow night.
What else? Well, that’s it. That’s for now.
