10-Minute Warning CXXXIII

I was truly productive this morning. I did my morning rituals without error, and 1 delicious cup of coffee gave me the energy to work right away. And then at work, I revised some quotations, photocopied a few documents, and sent several emails… and that was it. Work is over early, and now I have free time. What should I do?

I thought of making a different post – maybe a new Notes to Self or another Song of the Moment. But then I decided to make another Minute Warning post and enjoy the day more. I already spent a few of my free time watching a few episodes of Person of Interest (Season 4).

As I type this, the day is about to end, so what should I do? Maybe I should go to my favorite cafe and have a tasty affogato? Maybe watch Deadpool & Wolverine for the 3rd time? Or maybe I should do both?

Anyway, that’s what I can share (for now) under 10 minutes. Happy Monday!

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.

10-Minute Warning II

OK. So, what can I type in 10 minutes after drinking 6 highball glasses of Jack and Coke in under an hour?

Let me say – it has been years since my last serious relationship, and I want to say this on The Diary I don’t deserve a breakup email. I may have my mistakes, and any form of breakup is awful, but come on – a breakup email? Fuck that shit.

In other news, why did I drink 6 glasses of Jack and Coke tonight? Because I want to. Since 2022, I promised to drink my favorite Jack and Coke every week, but I only drank 4 glasses last January. Last week I drank 4 glasses, and tonight I drank 6. So, that’s 10 glasses of Jack and Coke this February. My therapist will kill me because of the more-than-a-fuckload consumption of my favorite drink. But come on. Let me live a little.

Speaking of my therapist – my last session was last July of 2022. Is the date of my last session a sign of progress? Some of my friends think so. But I think it’s weird. Almost 7 months? I should check up on my therapist via email. Soon. Maybe not tonight. Maybe tomorrow. I’m so drunk as hell right now.

And time’s up.
