Funko Pop – Page 2 – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

10-Minute Warning CXIX

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

There are 17 days before my family’s Japan trip, and I’m planning my outfits today. Because Tokyo’s weather will be warm in June, I will bring lightweight clothes and should not worry about layering. But just in case it rains, I will bring my favorite Bullet Club jacket and an umbrella.

Moving on… my 2nd custom Funko Pop may be done earlier than expected – probably at the end of the month. I’m excited for that as well! I’m looking forward to bringing my Pop to the Japan trip!

And now I’m capping this post and the work week with a refreshing, cool Jack and Coke. Happy weekend, everyone!

30-Minute Warning XXV

So, what can I share here under 30 minutes after not blogging last Wednesday and yesterday?

Well, I apologize for the lack of updates recently because I don’t feel like following my blogging schedule this week. I have been following said schedule for a long time, and I think I deserve to break the rules and take a break once in a while. I’m no writing machine; I’m only human. But since I still want to blog 3 times a week, I’m blogging today… on a Saturday.

Anyway, what happened while I was not writing here on The Diary? I’m getting a new custom Funko Pop made by the amazingly talented Gino Roberto. I love the 1st version of my custom Pop, and I’m confident he will kill it on the 2nd version! I made a downpayment yesterday and will have it delivered a few days before the Japan trip. I’m so stoked!

As for what happened today? Well, I don’t have anything to work on today, so I dropped by the condominium to give my Elder Brother and Youngest Brother their clothes, and then I watched 2 episodes of X-Men ’97. I regret not watching the animated series sooner, but at least I have a series to binge-watch this weekend. And thank you, Elder Brother, for giving me some Magnum Cookies & Cream while watching the series.

After binge-watching, I dropped by Satchmi and had my weekly dose of affogato. SM Megamall has a 5-day sale, so I’m surprised that I enjoyed my favorite coffee and ice cream combo at my favorite spot in my favorite cafe. Nice. And even though there was a mall-wide sale, I didn’t buy anything – not even the Samsung Galaxy S24+ or S24 Ultra I wanted. I might buy either before the end of May, but still…

Anyway, I should watch episode 3 of X-Men ’97 while I drink a cold glass of Jack and Coke. It’s finally the weekend!

30-Minute Warning XXIV

All right. What can I write here under 10 minutes?

I will tell you what happened today: After lunch, I went to the mall and waited almost 2 hours for a work permit. Good thing I have a phone to kill time with. After that, I had a tasty baked ziti and a refreshing house blend iced tea at my favorite cafe Satchmi. After my late afternoon snack, I updated my journal. Then after that, I bought a Coke Zero 2L for my weekly Jack and Coke – something I’m drinking right now as I type this. Hell yes.

What else? Oh! Before I went home, I checked some tech stores that sell 2 of the phones I might buy: a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or a S24+. Specifically, I checked the official Samsung store and a third-party shop (if I may call it that).

Both stores offer the same price for both devices, but one offers what the other cannot: a travel adapter. Apparently, both S24 Ultra and S24+ have a USB-C to USB-C cable, a SIM ejector tool… and no adapter. Damn. But I may need to check other stores before pulling the trigger. Wish me luck?

And to close this post, I think it’s time to get my custom Funko Pop 2.0. Might.

That is all. Happy weekend!
