30-Minute Warning XVIII

So, what can I type here under 30 minutes?

Oh, goodness… what a long day. I went to Malate to pick up something important, and since El Poco Cantina is nearby, I went there to have a late lunch. Their quesabirria tacos are so yummy that I will go back for more and I will recommend their food (again) to everyone in my inner circle.

After my late lunch, I hopped on the LRT and MRT (something I have not done in [I think] 2 years) and I was reminded of all my daily commutes as a student and as a worker in Makati. The coaches were almost packed to capacity, but it was bearable. It’s a good thing I took the train before rush hour. After the train ride, I went to my favorite spot Satchmi for my affogato fix and to write in my journal. After that, I went to BGC for some more errands, and then I went home.

Basically, I went to 3 different cities today. It was tiring but it was nice and somehow productive.

What else? Oh, right. Taylor Swift is in Singapore for her Eras Tour. She already performed last March 2, 3, 4, 7, and today, March 8 (I’m sure the show already ended after I typed this post). Her final Singapore show (at least for the Eras Tour) will happen tomorrow, March 9. That’s 6 shows in Singapore. Wow. And I’m so happy for my friends who have seen her and will see her live. My favorite band, Foo Fighters, performed at the same stadium last August 26, 2017, and I have so many happy memories of that show. I hope to see the Foos again, Taylor Swift, or any other favorite musical act of mine this 2024 or later. Fingers crossed!

And time’s up.

30-Minute Warning XVI

So, what can I write here under 30 minutes?

The past few days have been memorable. Let me list down:

On February 12, I walked from my home to Arcovia City with my Mother and cousin May… and then we walked back home. I hope to walk and jog to places other than Three Trees because changing my routine is nice.

On February 13, I finally got the posters featuring Riki “Riddle” LeCotey’s Wednesday Addams cosplay, and all 3 posters were signed with “Happy birthday, DW!” I’m on cloud nine even now. Ms. Riddle is such a nice lady. I hope she visits a comic con in the Philippines this year or later.

On February 14, I attended Mass with my Mother and cousins for Ash Wednesday, and then we had some burgers and milkshakes at Shake Shack. My stomach is happy.

On February 15, I attended a gig organized by my younger brothers and their team. Even if I’m not much of a nocturnal as I was, it was nice seeing bands rock it out live until 12am. I hope to see more musical acts this year.

And then I started today, February 16, with a chicken drumstick meal with my younger brothers at Frankie’s BGC. It has been a while since we ate there, and we missed it. After our late dinner, we went home and I slept like a baby. Good thing I didn’t have work to do, so I took it easy. Tonight I went to my favorite cafe Satchmi, had a baked ziti and iced tea, and I updated my journal after.

Right now I’m finishing this post while I’m drinking my Jack and Coke. The weekend has officially begun!

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning LXXXII

OK. Now I’m back on track – specifically, I’m back to planning my birthday party. And thanks to my Younger Brother, I’m considering a birthday party at… Jollibee. That’s right. The most popular chain of family-friendly fast food restaurants in the Philippines. We will see about that though. I still might end up having a party at my top option, Satchmi.

Anyway, how was my day at work today? It was productive. I finished sorting all the billings for this month and then printed them out. I will submit those billings tomorrow.

After work, my Younger Brother, cousin and I exercised at Three Trees, and then we walked a bit more nearby while we were talking about diet, our careers and my birthday plans. That’s when my Younger Brother brought up the Jollibee party idea. Once again, thank you for the suggestion, Younger Brother.

And time’s up.
