10-Minute Warning CXLVIII

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

I have 2 reasons to celebrate tonight with a glass of ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero. Firstly, it’s finally the weekend, and if you have been following The Diary, you know that this is how I kick off my break from the work week.

And what’s the 2nd reason? Remember my post about the 1st Deadpool & Wolverine teaser – the post where I mentioned I wanted a Deadpool half-shell mask for so long? After finding a local supplier, ordering the mask from the supplier, and almost 2 months of waiting, I finally got the mask! Well… almost. I got the package this afternoon and I have not opened the box yet. Why? As much as I want to open the box right away, I want to blog about my unboxing and review of the Deadpool half-shell mask, and I must carefully plan and document the whole process. Wish me luck on that!

And that’s all I can share for now. Happy weekend, everyone!

10-Minute Warning CXXVII

All right. What can I blog here for under 10 minutes?

I have been re-watching the sci-fi crime drama, Person of Interest, for the nth time. I started binge-watching (again) when I went to Tokyo with my family last month. I’m on Season 3 now as I type this post, and I’m about to enter the Endgame trilogy – one of my favorite arcs of the show. I needed a snack and a Coke Zero during my binge-watching, but I’m too lazy to go out.

What is Person of Interest all about? It’s about Harold Finch (a reclusive billionaire hacker, played by Michael Emerson) and John Resse (an ex-CIA assassin, played by Jim Caviezel) attempting to prevent premeditated violent crimes from happening with the help of a surveillance system called The Machine. As the show progresses, it turns from a unique case-of-the-week story into an extraordinary grounded sci-fi series. Person of Interest is my favorite show of all time, and I believe it is one of the most underrated shows ever. If you have not watched the series, please watch it. You will not regret it.

I will make a review series for Person of Interest here on The Diary sooner or later, but for now, I’m enjoying the ride (again).

30-Minute Warning XVII

OK. What can I tell here in under 30 minutes?

Oh, right. About my work today: I answered a few emails, and that’s it. March is nearing though, and in my current job, I’m at my busiest during the 1st and 2nd weeks of the month. I need to be prepared for that upcoming period, but for now, I’m taking it easy.

As for other stuff, well… after work, I bought 2 1.5L bottles of Coke Zero and 3 cans of Jack and Coke. I usually buy those on a Friday night, but my Younger Brother asked me if I could buy some Coke Zero today. So, I did. It’s like a mini-treat for my brother and my Mother, too. And, of course, the Jack and Cokes are mine. (Unless someone at home asks for a can, and I will give it willingly. I’m not selfish.)

What else? I want to bring up the money challenge I took upon myself last year, and I have to be honest: Because of my current salary and it has been hard to look for another stable job, it has been hard to keep up with the money challenge. In 2023, I was able to earn an amount way far from my target total of PHP 78,000, but at least I have enough money to pay for subscriptions and splurge without worries. (But I have not splurged. Yet. I hope to do that by July this year. Fingers crossed on that.)

Speaking of my money challenge, I started doing it again last month, and it has been going well so far. What worries me though is the 2nd half of the year because that’s when the money-saving became difficult for me last year. I just hope that I can find another form of income or at least another stable job so I can reach my target total this year… or, better yet, go beyond that. Wish me luck!

And time’s up.
