Song of the Moment LXXIII: Queen’s “Father to Son”

Today’s work tasks made my head spin because there were too many numbers to deal with. But I endured them all because, after work, I spent some quality time with my Father at my favorite cafe Satchmi. My Father had an espresso and, because their affogato is still unavailable, I had an iced mocha.

Whenever I’m alone with my Father, he always talks about how he grew up poor and how he gave his blood, sweat, and tears to achieve success. He also reminds me to be strong no matter how tough it gets. I have heard his stories before, but I keep listening because the entire family and I would not have a comfortable life if he did not work hard. I will always be thankful to my Father, and I’m trying my best to be as strong as he is.

Oh… Queen’s “Father to Son” was playing on my mind when I talked to my Father today. So tonight, it’s my Song of the Moment. (And have I mentioned that Queen is one of my top five favorite bands of all time? No? Now you know.)

Queen’s “Father to Son”.

Until the next post.

30-Minute Warning XIV

So, what can I share here under 30 minutes?

Yes, I promised myself to make the year-end post today, and I started writing it at 12am. But honestly, until now I’m still not finished. I give up. I can’t force myself to finish the post today. It’s New Year’s Eve, for crying out loud. I’m supposed to be in a festive mood today. And I’m only human; I make mistakes. A lot of mistakes.

Right now I’m at my favorite spot Satchmi, updating my journal. I promised myself to write more online and offline this coming 2024, so I’m starting today. And I’m supposed to have an affogato today, New Year’s Eve (my year-end tradition), but unfortunately they ran out of ice cream. Instead I ordered an iced mocha. Still refreshing and energizing. With that, I need to change my year-end tradition a bit: end the year with any caffeinated drink at my favorite cafe, not just an affogato.

Today, I might buy a new smartphone so I can pursue my content creation plans this coming year. Might. I don’t know. I want a new phone, but I don’t know. Should I even? What do you think?

Anyway, let me end this post with this: To everyone, have a happy 2024 and beyond!
