disappointment – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

XL: Watch VII: Dave Grohl’s FRESH POTS Video (and How It Echoed Through The Deranged Writer’s Caffeine-Fueled Life Story)

As part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2025), and since drinking UCC Class One coffee is a part of my morning ritual nowadays, I’d like to talk about a legendary YouTube video that has stuck with me since 2010. It’s a video so memorably epic that I always remember it when I drink black coffee (or any caffeinated drink, for that matter).

I’m talking about the video titled “Dave Grohl in FRESH POTS!”

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.

10-Minute Warning XVI

What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Last night, I finally watched Voltes V: Legacy – The Cinematic Experience with my cousins and Younger Brother. I was so excited to watch it especially since I grew up watching and loving Voltes V. How was the movie? As a fan, it has exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to watch the whole series starting May 8 on GMA 7. (And maybe I should do a full review soon?)

Last week, I may have spent more money than usual. And today I checked whatever was left in my wallet. I still have some money left, but I could have done better. I’m disappointed in myself.

So, here’s my plan: This week and, at least, until payday, I’m not going out unless it’s for exercise. Wish me luck!

Speaking of exercise, tonight I will do that again at Three Trees after a week of having coughs and asthma. I feel so much better now, thanks to the doctor’s prescribed drugs. And I’m charging my phone and power bank before I go out and exercise with Younger Brother.

And time’s up.
