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 LXXXIII

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Today, I feel sad. I have messaged my top choice for my birthday venue twice; 1 for yesterday and 1 for today. But I never got a reply – not even once. If this means I should look elsewhere, so be it. But it would have been all right with me and I would understand if they said they could not host my party.

Anyway, I’m looking at a few alternatives tonight, and I might visit 1 or 2 of those venues on Friday. Or maybe tomorrow. I will see about that.

Damn. I feel like drinking a Jack and Coke tonight. But I don’t want to. I promised myself that I would only drink during weekends. (I might break that rule on my birthday though. My birthday (December 5) this year falls on a Tuesday.)

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning LXXXI

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes after drinking 2 cans of Jack and Coke at 1am?

Yesterday I went to a music festival with my Mother and my Younger Brother. Besides knowing I would see my Youngest Brother perform with his bandmates, I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived at the venue, I was pleasantly surprised. I noticed that my favorite Jack and Coke “powered” the event, and I was so happy to have a drink sample at 4pm. And my Youngest Brother and their bandmate not only joined a battle of the bands, but they won the contest and received PHP 100,000 in the process. That is fucking awesome. Congratulations to them!

What else? After coming home from the music festival, I started watching this South Korean series called Vigilante. The premise caught my attention – it is about a police university student who is a violent vigilante at night. There are 2 episodes so far, and it is right up my alley – vigilantism. Thank you, Disney+, for recommending it. It is definitely on top of my watch list so far.

And time’s up.
