Song of the Moment XXXV: Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (Again)

For some strange reason, the 1st thing I do when I feel happy is listen to a favorite song. It’s either “The Pretender” by Foo Fighters (my favorite song of all time), Finn Bálor’s 1st theme song (I love this song over his current one), or “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour (an excellent hard rock song and CM Punk’s theme song). Today, I’m listening to the latter on repeat. Again.

(This is the 2nd time “Cult of Personality” is my Song of the Moment. You can check out the 1st post here.)

I hope this happy mood lasts for long. And speaking of CM Punk, his rivalry against Drew McIntyre is one of the most exciting storylines in WWE recently, and they have not fought in a match yet. I’m looking forward to their inevitable bout.

Happy week ahead, everyone!

30-Minute Warning XXI

So, what can I tell here under 30 minutes?

Well, once again I forgot to blog yesterday – another Wednesday. Let me explain what happened…

I have been feeling down since April 13, but yesterday I had to set my sadness aside so I can make my Elder Brother’s birthday a happy one.

Yesterday afternoon, my cousin and I went to the mall and bought some cheesecake milk tea and a chocolate cake and then surprised my Elder Brother at the condo. For a moment, my brother was happy, but then we felt that he was having the birthday blues. So we let him be.

And then at 10pm, while we were at home, Leon pitched a great idea through text: surprise Elder Brother at a bar in BGC. So the entire family (minus Father) dressed up right away and then we all went to the bar and… surprise! We successfully surprised him, and this time his smile was beaming! Mission accomplished!

After the surprise, we had a few drinks (a Rum Coke for me and mojitos, margaritas, sangrias, and a Coke Zero for everyone else), and we capped off the lovely evening with our individual birthday wishes for Elder Brother. What a lovely night. And because my brother is happy, everyone is happy, I’m starting to be happy again… not entirely, but I’m getting there now slowly and surely.

Happiest birthday, my Elder Brother! The entire family loves you so much, and we wish you all the best in life!

In other news, our family’s Japan trip is confirmed. Our trip will be from June 10 to 14. Now that is another thing to be happy about. I’m stoked and I need to prepare my clothes and other things I will need for the trip!

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning CXIII

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Well, sad news: The lowest point of my life happened 5 years ago today, March 25. I’m supposed to reminisce that day through a blog post, but… I can’t finish it today. My mind and heart can’t finish the story today. I’m not even sure if I can tell the story this Wednesday or Friday, but I’m sure there will be a trigger warning before the post.

And some good news: There was reason for me to be happy yesterday, March 24, because it was the 59th birthday of my all-time favorite professional wrestler, Mark Calaway AKA The Undertaker. Happiest birthday, Taker! I hope you had a blast!

And time’s up.
