30-Minute Warning XXXVII

OK. Now that I’m done with my 12-day blogging break, what can I share here under 30 minutes?

Well, yeah… let me talk about my short break from blogging. Writing on The Diary for 14 days straight (as part of my 14 Days of The Deranged Writer [2024] series) drained my energy, so I had to take a breather. And now I’m back, I will try to blog more often before 2024 ends.

Good grief. Here I go again with my monthly blog count problem. But hey, I still have to try to reach my goal. As my favorite Marvel character, Deadpool, says, “Maximum effort!”

Anyway, what is up with me recently? Well, after being on cloud nine because of my happiest birthday party by far (I’m working on a post about that), my mood went down a week after. Why? Let’s just say that I got ignored by a non-friend, and for some reason, it affected me so much. I still feel a bit awful about it, but my nerves are more relaxed now compared to last week. (My short break from blogging helped somehow.)

What else can I share? Oh! Recently, I have been doing my annual tradition: Attending the Simbang Gabi, a series of Holy Masses in preparation for Christmas. There are 9 Masses in total, and I have attended 6 so far. Also, I have been attending the anticipated Masses so I don’t have to wake up earlier at 1am or 2:30am. Good job, self! Here’s to going 9!

Wait. Now I realized something: My recent anxiety lessened because of Simbang Gabi and my nightly affogato time after that. Thank you, Lord.

And time’s up. Happy weekend and happy holidays!

10-Minute Warning CXXXII

So, what can I blog here for under 10 minutes?

Well, my parents and cousin May are going out of town tomorrow. They will attend a relative’s church wedding this weekend. That means my Younger Brother and I will take over the dispatching duties among others, which also means I need to wake up earlier than usual.

To my parents and May, have a safe trip and enjoy the weekend. They deserve a break from all the hard work they do.

What else? Oh! I might watch Deadpool & Wolverine again this weekend… or maybe tomorrow? I love the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film so much, and I will watch it again with or without company. After round 2 of watching, I will blog about it.

Speaking of Deadpool, I have found a local maker of high quality Deadpool masks (both full-shell and half-shell), and I will order a half-shell mask from him soon. Probably. Fingers crossed on that. I need a new mask aside from the luchador skull mask that I have.

And that’s it… that’s all I can say for now.
