10-Minute Warning LIII

Hello. I know I said I will lessen the Minute Warning posts for a while. But I would like to share how I’m feeling right now in under 10 minutes.

Today I feel sadder than usual. I feel sad after waking up. I had brunch while feeling sad. Normally I would dwell on the sadness for a while, but this time I don’t want to. I needed a distraction.

Then my Father told me he’s running errands and he wants me to join him. I instantly said “yes.” After all the errands, we bought 3 tubs of ice cream – Rocky Road, Double Dutch and Cookies & Cream, my favorite. Thank you, Father, for the ice cream. I needed that.

And to cap off today, I went to Satchmi and write on my journal while having a BLT. Unfortunately they ran out of their house blend iced tea, so I ordered something different – an iced peppermint tea. The drink tastes… interesting. Weird but interesting. Anyway, I’m glad I can depend on my favorite cafe whenever I feel down. Thank you once again, Satchmi.

And time’s up.

30-Minute Warning IX

Last time, I said that I feel tired physically and mentally. What about today?

Well, physically I’m still tired. I went out at 1pm and I was supposed to pay for a traffic ticket at a specific bank. But then the clerk and security guard told me to go to a payment center 2 km away from the bank. I had a hard time looking for a jeepney, so I walked from the bank to the payment center. And then when I arrived at the payment center and inquired if I could pay for the ticket, I was told that I need to go to the city where the ticket was issued.

Good grief. My heart sank and my legs are sore because I was walking and inquiring all around from 1 to 3pm. I told my family on the phone what happened and that I can’t pay for the ticket today, and they understood. Thank you, family.

As for how I am mentally, I feel better now. After running errands, I went to my favorite cafe Satchmi and I had my late lunch: a tasty BLT and a refreshing house blend iced tea. I’m sure I said it before, but let me say this again: One of my favorite weekly habits is hanging out, dining, and writing at Satchmi. Thank you, my favorite spot and safe space.

After that, I went home via FX. And then the rain poured heavily. Crap. I can hear the heavy rain punching the car roof even if I have my earphones on. Good thing I have my foldable umbrella so I can brave the rain somehow. An hour after the FX ride, I arrived home safely. My slacks and shoes got wet, but at least I’m home now.
