10-Minute Warning CXXXIII

I was truly productive this morning. I did my morning rituals without error, and 1 delicious cup of coffee gave me the energy to work right away. And then at work, I revised some quotations, photocopied a few documents, and sent several emails… and that was it. Work is over early, and now I have free time. What should I do?

I thought of making a different post – maybe a new Notes to Self or another Song of the Moment. But then I decided to make another Minute Warning post and enjoy the day more. I already spent a few of my free time watching a few episodes of Person of Interest (Season 4).

As I type this, the day is about to end, so what should I do? Maybe I should go to my favorite cafe and have a tasty affogato? Maybe watch Deadpool & Wolverine for the 3rd time? Or maybe I should do both?

Anyway, that’s what I can share (for now) under 10 minutes. Happy Monday!

Song of the Moment XLI: Teri DeSario’s “Fallin'”

One of the things I loved to do as a child was listen to the radio before going to sleep. One of the songs that really stuck with me was “Fallin'” by Teri DeSario, a song that deals with falling in love and having second thoughts about it.

Of course, when I heard “Fallin'” as a kid, I had no clue what love was. I don’t even have a crush at school at that time. But Ms. DeSario’s soft singing and the perfectly mellow instrumentals stuck in my mind and heart and I didn’t need to fall in love to appreciate the song. And when I did fall in love a few times, I went back to listening to “Fallin'”, making the song more relevant in my life than ever.

But since Thursday, I have been listening to Teri DeSario’s “Fallin” for a different reason. And that’s…

A lyric video of Teri DeSario’s “Fallin'”.

30-Minute Warning XXXII

All right. What can I share here in under 30 minutes?

Yesterday, I could not finish my work because of overthinking. I wanted to get out at night to distract myself, so I did. I updated my journal while having my affogato at my favorite cafe Satchmi, and then I enjoyed watching Deadpool & Wolverine for the 2nd time. After all that, I went home at 12am, feeling better.

Speaking of work, I’m almost done with my work today – monthly billings, to be exact. Tomorrow I’m going on a printing and photocopying galore. Yes, my current clerical work (for the family business) is not exciting compared to my previous web/graphic design jobs, but at least it pays the bills and I can save money.

What else? Oh, I forgot to mention: Because of Deadpool & Wolverine, I went on a Ryan Reynolds movie marathon last weekend. Specifically, I watched R.I.P.D. (Rest In Peace Department), The Hitman’s Bodyguard, The Change-Up, and, of course, Deadpool and Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool, man. As for the other Reynolds movies I have watched, I truly enjoyed The Hitman’s Bodyguard’s action scenes and overall story, and I don’t know what to say about R.I.P.D. and The Change-Up… for now.

And that’s it. That’s all for now.

Maybe I should watch Deadpool & Wolverine for the 3rd time this weekend.

Well, yeah. That’s it for now. For real.
