10-Minute Warning LXXXIV

I checked one of my alternative birthday venues today and asked about their reservation fees. Their answer made my heart and my wallet cry. How much? Let’s just say that it’s more than my current monthly salary.

As for Jollibee being another alternative venue, I’m crossing that out. I don’t feel like celebrating there this year. Maybe next year.

It’s 18 days before my birthday, and there’s still no venue. Crap.

Moving on, here’s something I’m certain of now: In celebration of my birthday, I’m going to blog every single day from November 22 to December 5 (my birthday). I’m working on a few posts early so I can achieve that. Watch this space!

And time’s up.

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Today, I feel sad. I have messaged my top choice for my birthday venue twice; 1 for yesterday and 1 for today. But I never got a reply – not even once. If this means I should look elsewhere, so be it. But it would have been all right with me and I would understand if they said they could not host my party.

Anyway, I’m looking at a few alternatives tonight, and I might visit 1 or 2 of those venues on Friday. Or maybe tomorrow. I will see about that.

Damn. I feel like drinking a Jack and Coke tonight. But I don’t want to. I promised myself that I would only drink during weekends. (I might break that rule on my birthday though. My birthday (December 5) this year falls on a Tuesday.)

And time’s up.

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.
