This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024 edition).
Let me quote again the ultra-talented Bruno Mars because I’m lazy as fuck.
Today I don’t feel like doing anything
Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song”
I just wanna lay in my bed
Unfortunately, even if “The Lazy Song” is my Song of the Moment, I can’t be in bed for long. I have a job and I have bills to pay. Work hard, Deranged Writer. Work hard.
That is all for now. See you tomorrow.

Today, before I went to Laguna with my Mother, my Father, and cousin, I got my salary. For a moment, I was happy, but then I remembered…
I got bills I gotta pay
LunchMoney Lewis’ “Bills”
So I’m gon’ work, work, work every day
That is all. (sighs)

OK. What can I share here in under 30 minutes?
Let me recall what happened last weekend. Last Friday night, I had my weekly Jack and Coke and an Army Navy California Burger to kick off the weekend. This is why I’m fat. But whatever. My weekend kick-off makes me happy. But this time, I lessened the number of Jack and Cokes I drank – I drank 2 instead of 3. My therapist told me to slowly lessen the drinking instead of going cold turkey, so I did. As much as I want to gulp my favorite drink, I need to take care of my health.
How about last Saturday? Well, the day was all right. I paid some bills and I rested a lot. Thank goodness for the weekend. But the most note-worthy thing happened during the night: my younger brothers’ band joined a battle of the bands. As usual, I recorded their whole set, but I was screaming and cheering for them this time. Unfortunately, they lost, but what matters is they did their best. Better luck next time… and I will invite more people to cheer for the band. And hats off to the other bands – they also killed it and they deserve the cheers they got.
As for Sunday, I went to church and then I dropped by my favorite spot Satchmi. But before I went to my favorite cafe, I suddenly saw a friend that I had not seen in… a decade? Yeah! It was that long. But seeing my friend for a few seconds made my day – the 1st friend I interacted with in person this 2024. I love it when I see good friends suddenly and without planning it! After seeing my friend and having my weekly cafe drink, I joined my Mother and cousins in having some tasty ramen for dinner. My weekend ended on a lovely note!
Moving on to today, I feel great! What happened during the weekend gave me a lot of energy to do all the sudden workload for today. And working while listening to the Foo Fighters’ 10th studio album Medicine at Midnight – which was released 3 years ago today – motivated me even further. Thank you, my favorite band.
I started my week strong, and I hope to keep it up throughout the week and beyond!
And time’s up.
