Song of the Moment LXVIII: My Chemical Romance’s “Disenchanted”

This week, I have decided to listen more to one of my favorite bands when I was in high school, My Chemical Romance. And yesterday, I have been listening to their iconic third studio album, The Black Parade.

Setting aside The Black Parade album’s concept around the character “The Patient”, whenever I listen to the album, I remember my last few months in high school. I remember the day I brought the album on campus discreetly and played it inside our classroom. I remember an old friend (a My Chemical Romance fan since day one) who recommended me to listen to the band’s first album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, and I did so long after. And I remember the night when I wrote the good and bad parts of my senior prom on my first blog, I was drinking an ice-cold Coca-Cola, and track twelve of the album (and one of my favorite tracks as well), “Disenchanted”, was playing in the background.

Oh, the memories. And tonight, “Disenchanted”, is on repeat.

My Chemical Romance’s “Disenchanted”.

That is all.

30-Minute Warning VIII

So, what can I say here in under 30 minutes?

I’m capping off a pretty eventful few days with a can of Jack Daniel’s and Coke and a viewing of episode 1 of Secret Invasion, the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries. I don’t usually drink a Jack and Coke on a Friday night, but this is a nice change of pace.

About the recent job interview and design test: I was able to submit the test mockups on time. And 30 minutes after I sent those, I got another scheduled interview on Monday, 9:00 am. If I remember correctly, it will be handled by a social media executive. Wish me luck!

Tonight, I’m supposed to go out and see my favorite busker at BGC, but I took a 2-hour nap and I woke up a bit late. Good thing there’s a live stream though, and as for seeing said busker live, there is always a next time.

What else? I gave my sole bottle of Jägermeister to Younger Brother so he can bring it to a potluck party. I think Youngest Brother will also go to the same party. And I can always buy another bottle just like how I can always buy another can of Jack and Coke. Have a nice party, my brothers!

Lastly, I have been to my favorite cafe Satchmi twice this week. I had a matcha latte last Tuesday, and then I had a BLT and iced chocolate last Thursday. Will I go there again tomorrow or on Sunday? I don’t know, but I don’t have to. Having a single hangout time there once a week is already enough.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning III

So, what should I type in ten minutes while drinking 8 glasses of my favorite drink, Jack and Coke (Jack Daniel’s whiskey mixed with Coke regular or zero)?

Well, let me just say – I admit, it’s fun feeling drunk and relaxed after so many Jack & Cokes. I only got drunk for less than a handful in college, so please forgive me. Please let me live a little. And at least I got intoxicated while at home and didn’t spend 500 PHP for a cocktail and hanging out with strangers. Getting drunk at home saves money, and my introverted self is happy.

Also, I think my therapist will be so disappointed simply because I got drunk. But come on, people. I’m only human. Let me say again – please let me live a little.

Anyway, what else can I say? It’s almost Sunday, it’s almost midnight, and I want to get out right now. But maybe I should get out in the afternoon so I can spend less in a day. Maybe I should watch Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania tomorrow afternoon. Maybe not. We’ll see. But I will watch the movie tomorrow and then hang out at Satchmi or Starbucks Reserve.

And speaking of Ant-Man and movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I should watch Shang-Chi. I never got to see it on the big screen. In fact, I never got to see it at all, so tomorrow may be a perfect time to watch it. Good thing I have a subscription to Disney+.

Speaking of Disney+, it’s weird that they have a license to the latest WWE programming. They have the recent Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, among others. At least I can watch those shows. But it sucks they don’t have the complete catalog of the WWE Network. I miss having the option to watch old episodes of Raw or SmackDown, or the likes of WrestleMania. I miss the WWE Network.

And time’s up.
