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.

10-Minute Warning LX

OK. What happened in my life today?

I’m supposed to have a job interview today, but I’m so weak again that I feel like I have a ball and chain while walking. I had to reschedule and thankfully my potential employer agreed to it. I truly hope I become better tomorrow and not screw up the interview.

Today my body just feels weak, and somehow I’m worried that it will turn into the flu. Why? My Father had the flu last weekend (he is now better), and my Younger Brother has the flu today. But even if I felt weak, I had to be strong and help my Mother take care of my Younger Brother.

And strong, I became. Forcefully. Somehow tonight I pushed through going upstairs and bringing Younger Brother his dinner, bringing his plate downstairs, preparing his laptop so he can watch How I Met Your Mother, and then blogging at this moment. It was like I was running on an emergency battery and now I truly feel weak. But it was worth it because I love my family and I have to take care of them when they are sick.

I hope my Younger Brother gets well soon. And I hope my current weakness gets away as well.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning XXIII

OK. What can I tell here in under 10 minutes?

I’ll make this quick. I have been sneezing all day, and it’s so annoying. I think I got it from a dusty alarm sensor? I don’t know. Anyway, I already drank an antihistamine, but I’m still unwell and I can’t do any work properly. It’s like I’m expelling my soul from all of the sneezing. Fuck this shit.

As for any updates here on The Dispatch, I still don’t have a header image for the previous post and also on this post. As I said, I can’t do any work properly because of my constant sneezing. I will work on that tomorrow or on Friday.

And speaking of Friday, Gratitude Log, the new blogging series on The Dispatch about being thankful, debuts this Friday, May 24, 2023, at 10pm (Philippine time).

Oh, I truly hope I become well tomorrow.

And time’s up.
