30-Minute Warning XXV

So, what can I share here under 30 minutes after not blogging last Wednesday and yesterday?

Well, I apologize for the lack of updates recently because I don’t feel like following my blogging schedule this week. I have been following said schedule for a long time, and I think I deserve to break the rules and take a break once in a while. I’m no writing machine; I’m only human. But since I still want to blog 3 times a week, I’m blogging today… on a Saturday.

Anyway, what happened while I was not writing here on The Diary? I’m getting a new custom Funko Pop made by the amazingly talented Gino Roberto. I love the 1st version of my custom Pop, and I’m confident he will kill it on the 2nd version! I made a downpayment yesterday and will have it delivered a few days before the Japan trip. I’m so stoked!

As for what happened today? Well, I don’t have anything to work on today, so I dropped by the condominium to give my Elder Brother and Youngest Brother their clothes, and then I watched 2 episodes of X-Men ’97. I regret not watching the animated series sooner, but at least I have a series to binge-watch this weekend. And thank you, Elder Brother, for giving me some Magnum Cookies & Cream while watching the series.

After binge-watching, I dropped by Oversight and had my weekly dose of affogato. SM Megamall has a 5-day sale, so I’m surprised that I enjoyed my favorite coffee and ice cream combo at my favorite spot in my favorite cafe. Nice. And even though there was a mall-wide sale, I didn’t buy anything – not even the Samsung Galaxy S24+ or S24 Ultra I wanted. I might buy either before the end of May, but still…

Anyway, I should watch episode 3 of X-Men ’97 while I drink a cold glass of Jack and Coke. It’s finally the weekend!

Song of the Moment XXII: Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man”

After all that happened last WrestleMania weekend (and what a weekend it was), I remembered a few things and it made me feel sad. I don’t want to talk about it here, but all I can say is that I’m so sad that my visit to my favorite cafe yesterday did not work somehow. Maybe I should go back again sometime this week and have another affogato there.

Speaking of sad, let me share a song that I have been listening to multiple times tonight: the saddest Bruno Mars song in my opinion, “When I Was Your Man”. I don’t want to talk about why I’m listening to it on repeat. For now, maybe. Just listen to the song.

The music video of Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man”.

Damn. I need a drink.

10-Minute Warning CX

I just finished my 1-hour walking and jogging at Three Trees, and it feels so good. But it was a shame that my last walk/jog was last March 4, Sunday. Damn. I need to jog and walk more often like I used to; I usually jog and walk 2 to 3 more times a week.

What else happened today? Oh, the usual work day: I worked on some billings and then I went to Ortigas to submit something… and since I’m in Ortigas, I dropped by Oversight and ordered my favorite affogato. Yes. I have done one of my weekly rituals this early (a Monday afternoon)… I might go back this weekend? I will see about that.

And… that’s it. That’s all I can say for today. ‘Til the next post!
