IX: Fighting the Christmas Blues (Year XXXIII)

I

As I said in a previous post: Whenever I feel depressed, it’s either (1) I dwell in the darkness or (2) distract myself to feel better.

Today, on Christmas Day, I chose option 2.

30-Minute Warning XIII

Surprise! I’m blogging on a Sunday at 1am!

I just drank 3 Jack and Cokes that I mixed myself. And before that, I bought 4 cans of Jack and Coke and 1.5L of Coke Zero at the nearest 7-Eleven. I’m running out of Jack Daniel’s whiskey, so I must buy another bottle before 2023 ends.

You’re wondering, “The Deranged Writer surely drinks a lot of Jack and Coke.” Yes, I am. But in my defense, I only drink during weekends unless I’m in a gig or a social event during weekdays (which rarely happens; the social events I go to usually happen during weekends or late Thursdays). I know that eventually I will lessen my drinking as I get older, but right now I’m enjoying being buzzed after drinking my favorite alcoholic drink. I’m 33, for crying out loud.

Last night, I did something I had never done before: take a bath while being tipsy or drunk. I don’t even know if I did my entire routine step by step, but I’m sure I feel refreshed right now. A few cans of Jack and Coke and a cold bath = perfect combination.

This morning, I need to run errands at the mall. I’m sure there will be more people at the mall because of the Christmas rush, so I need to go to the mall as early as possible and accomplish what I need to accomplish. After that, I will go to my favorite spot Satchmi, have my affogato, and write in my journal there, and then I will attend Night 3 of the anticipated Simbang Gabi.

What else? Oh! I’m listening to Sheryl Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy” on repeat. It still screams what I’m feeling right now.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning LI

After sleeping almost the whole day and watching Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation, what do I want to do before the day ends?

I want a burger. In fact, I want a California Burger from Army Navy. I want to devour a juicy California Burger and gulp an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero. I just hope the burger I’m craving for is available at this ungodly hour.

What? I’m so lazy today. Forgive me.
