30-Minute Warning XV

OK. What can I share here in under 30 minutes?

Let me recall what happened last weekend. Last Friday night, I had my weekly Jack and Coke and an Army Navy California Burger to kick off the weekend. This is why I’m fat. But whatever. My weekend kick-off makes me happy. But this time, I lessened the number of Jack and Cokes I drank – I drank 2 instead of 3. My therapist told me to slowly lessen the drinking instead of going cold turkey, so I did. As much as I want to gulp my favorite drink, I need to take care of my health.

How about last Saturday? Well, the day was all right. I paid some bills and I rested a lot. Thank goodness for the weekend. But the most note-worthy thing happened during the night: my younger brothers’ band joined a battle of the bands. As usual, I recorded their whole set, but I was screaming and cheering for them this time. Unfortunately, they lost, but what matters is they did their best. Better luck next time… and I will invite more people to cheer for the band. And hats off to the other bands – they also killed it and they deserve the cheers they got.

As for Sunday, I went to church and then I dropped by my favorite spot Satchmi. But before I went to my favorite cafe, I suddenly saw a friend that I had not seen in… a decade? Yeah! It was that long. But seeing my friend for a few seconds made my day – the 1st friend I interacted with in person this 2024. I love it when I see good friends suddenly and without planning it! After seeing my friend and having my weekly cafe drink, I joined my Mother and cousins in having some tasty ramen for dinner. My weekend ended on a lovely note!

Moving on to today, I feel great! What happened during the weekend gave me a lot of energy to do all the sudden workload for today. And working while listening to the Foo Fighters’ 10th studio album Medicine at Midnight – which was released 3 years ago today – motivated me even further. Thank you, my favorite band.

I started my week strong, and I hope to keep it up throughout the week and beyond!

And time’s up.

Song of the Moment III: Sheryl Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy”

A little part of me wants to talk about how I’m feeling today. Instead, let me quote the chorus of one of my favorite songs ever and my current LSS.

If it makes you happy
It can’t be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

That is all.

10-Minute Warning XCI

What can I share here under 10 minutes?

After all the ruined plans, tonight I feel a better because I finally got a venue for my birthday dinner. The venue’s interior and food are great, and I’m a happy guy. Fuck yes!

Now I have to ask the people on my guestlist if they are still available on December 5. I hope they are… oh, wait. As I’m typing this, 1 already confirmed. That’s plus points for him!

Damn. Looking back at all the planning, I learned a lot and I also realized something: birthday planning is not easy. I should make that a post soon or something.
