Song of the Moment LXXVIII: Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose”

One of my happiest childhood memories is watching Batman Forever in theaters with my family. It is the first Batman movie I have seen in cinemas, and I thank the film, a VHS tape of Batman Returns, and Batman: The Animated Series on television for igniting my passion for anything Batman. And when I watched it several more times as an adult, well… yes, it is campy overall, but I would pick it over the other Joel Schumacher-era Batman film Batman & Robin primarily because of Val Kilmer’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman—serious, conflicted but not too dark which blends well with movie’s vibe.

That is why it’s heartbreaking to learn that Val Kilmer died of pneumonia last April 1. Another Batman is gone. Damn. To soothe the pain, I’m listening to Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose”, the second single from the Batman Forever movie soundtrack.

Rest in peace, Val Kilmer and Joel Schumacher. Thank you for the memories.

10-Minute Warning VI

So, what can I say under 10 minutes and after drinking 5 Jack and Cokes?

I’m currently typing this while listening to the 3rd album of my musically-talented doppelganger Bruno Mars, 24K Magic. And you know how I feel right now? I’m so buzzed, so relaxed, yet like in my element. And yeah, I know that not having friends around while feeling drunk sounds lonely. But at least I don’t get to spend more money drinking one of my favorite drinks. But I do plan on getting drunk with my friends and brothers when I earn enough money to do so. Right now, I only have less than enough money to buy the Batman: The Animated Series Batmobile deluxe – the one with the Batsignal.

What else? Well, tomorrow I’m going to my favorite cafe Satchmi early. Early afternoon, OK? I can’t go there at 3pm because Mother is going to BGC with her friend and I want to be there as well. And I can’t spend more than PHP 500 as well. As I said, I only have less than enough money to buy the Batmobile deluxe that I want to buy.

And this coming March 16 marks 2 months of being in my family’s company. And I’m not planning to go beyond 3 months. But I’m not sure. I still haven’t found a new job yet. And 2 people have reached out on LinkedIn for a possible job interview. I will reply to them this coming Monday, March 13. Wish me luck!

And crap. I just ran out of Jack Daniel’s. I need to buy a bottle this coming week. Wish me luck on that one as well!

And time’s up.
