10-Minute Warning CXVII

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

Nothing much. While working on billings today, I was thinking: Should I buy a new phone? Specifically, should I buy a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or a S24 Ultra?

Despite a minor screen problem, my current phone – a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G – still works well and it has a great camera for a mid-range phone. But I have been using said phone for 3 years, and I think it’s time for a change? Also, the S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra are faster, their screens are bigger, they have better camera specs, and their Galaxy AI seems cool.

Damn it. I have to decide before the Japan trip… or maybe later. Why am I overthinking this? God help me.

And that’s it. That’s all I can say.

10-Minute Warning XVII

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

This morning, I feel sleepier than usual. Mother noticed that, so in order to be awake, she told me to start working on this month’s billings. I also took a long, cold bath and 1 cup of extra strong coffee to power through the day. I’m done with the 1st part of the billings, so I took an afternoon nap after.

What else? I checked the photos I took from my younger brothers’ gig last Friday. I’m so disappointed that most of their photos – taken by my smartphone – are not clear. I’m also disappointed that I did not check the photos sooner. Damn it. I will take better photos and videos with my smartphone and DSLR next time.

Tonight I will jog again and Younger Brother will do his calisthenics at Three Trees. But I think I should do more than just jog. Last year I followed this aerobics workout on YouTube, and it helped me burn a lot of fat. Maybe I should do both jogging and aerobics again.

And time’s up.

III: About The Deranged Writer’s Instagram

This morning, I tried to do something different for The Diary: finish a draft before working hours. But because I’m normally a night owl and I need caffeine to function properly in the morning, I stayed away from my blog for a bit, had breakfast, drank coffee, and then did my usual clerical work. And I also joined Father on his survey in Laguna.

And while we were on the way to the job site, I scrolled through my blog. And then I found a great topic for today’s post, thanks to the nine latest Instagram posts shown on my blog’s sidebar.

Well, then. Now I’m back from Laguna, let me tell you about my Instagram account/feed!
