Song of the Moment XLIII: Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die with a Smile”

Now that the weekend has begun, I’m enjoying a glass of my favorite Jack and Coke Zero while listening to my new favorite song, “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
If the party was over
And our time on Earth was through
I’d wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die with a Smile”

I never expected this collaboration of 2 ultra-talented icons, but I’m so glad they teamed up. I can’t get enough of the soft rock instrumentals and the relevant lyrics hit my very heart. “Die with a Smile” may be my favorite song of 2024 yet.

Now let me drink and listen to this song in peace. Happy weekend, everyone!

30-Minute Warning XXXI

Hello, Diary. It has been a while, and I missed 2 blogging days this week – this Wednesday and Friday. Let me explain my short absence.

The past few days have been rough for me physically. Remember the last time I blogged here; I said I didn’t get a fever even if I was expecting to? Well, the day after I posted that, I got a fever and my coughing and itchy throat became worse. Overall I officially got the flu. But thanks to plenty of rest and water, Koolfever, and Bioflu, I got better slowly.

As soon as I was cured of my fever and coughing, I joined my parents and cousin May in grocery shopping. I joined because I had a feeling I would see some 4-packs of Jack and Coke Zero in the store. And when we arrived and I checked the alcohol section, I was right – there were lots of Jack and Coke Zero. So I took 2 4-packs. Thank goodness.

After coming home from grocery shopping, I was told by my family to get some rest. Yes, I don’t have a fever anymore and I’m not coughing like hell, but I’m not 100% well physically. But before I got my rest, I had to work a bit. Good thing I don’t have that much on my workload, so I finished work early.

Anyway, I’m 100% well now and celebrating it by having an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero while typing this post. I deserve this cool beverage.

And that’s it. That’s about it. Happy weekend!

10-Minute Warning XV

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

I’m typing this on mobile while my younger brothers, their bandmates and I are on the way to Cavite. This is the 1st time I’m blogging while on a moving vehicle, so I’m only focused on writing. I can’t make a featured header image here as of now.

Tonight I saw my younger brothers and their bandmates perform (and killed it, as usual) at a bar in Menlo, Pasay. Last night, I also saw them perform at a bar just beside tonight’s venue. I love seeing my brothers’ band live while I gulp on a few beers and cocktails. I usually don’t go out at night, so I tend to enjoy the nightlife whenever I do go out.

And because I saw my brothers’ band tonight, I was not able to go to my favorite busker’s birthday gig. When I have to choose between my brothers and another favorite solo act or band, I choose my brothers every time. And there was also a dress code for the gig (which is a school outfit; student, admin, whatever) but I don’t want to ruin Flannel Friday. (That’s a weekly habit of mine when I wear flannel every Friday, no matter what the weather is.)

And oh! I have been drinking alcohol more than usual yesterday and tonight. I think that’s all right because I rarely drinking too much booze. I drank this cocktail with Red Bull, Sprite and gin, this cocktail that tastes like peach, and San Mig Light.

And time’s up.
