Song of the Moment LXVI: Spice Girls’ “Too Much”

Last Monday, I felt so unhappy and unmotivated that I skipped exercise time and my favorite cafe time. So last night, I went to the mall, had a fresh haircut, and ate my favorite BLT sandwich at my favorite cafe. I also made time to write in my journal and planner. All of those things made me feel better.

Today, I finished all of my work tasks, and I wrote again in my journal and planner earlier than usual. Then I was reminded of a 2025 resolution I still haven’t accomplished: finding a second job. Yes, it’s early to tell because it’s still January, and my current clerical job is stable. But I have to be honest: my current pay sucks and I need to keep up with the growing bills. I need another way to save more money. That means I need to find another job—a well-paying part-time job—and I need to do it more strenuously.

Anyway, after work and reminding myself about a resolution, I watched the iconic graphic novel-turned-film V for Vendetta, and now I’m writing this while listening to a hit by the Spice Girls, “Too Much”. It was my favorite song from the English girl group when I was young, and it’s still my favorite from them now—even if some of the lyrics remind me of a painful memory several years back.

Happy Wednesday, everyone.

10-Minute Warning CXXXV

Today I’m supposed to write a different and lengthy post, but my day didn’t start well and I’m still in a bad mood. I will rectify that tonight by watching Deadpool & Wolverine for the 4th time and having my weekly visit at Satchmi.

I hope you have a better Monday than I did.

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.
