The Recently II

I have been working on a new Listen post dedicated to a new favorite song (clue: it’s a new Foo Fighters song), but I’m setting that love letter aside momentarily. Why? I’m also mentally preparing for the Seoul trip with my family. Sure, the essentials have been assembled, and my flight attire is ready. But recently (I mean, tonight), I need to psych myself up for the upcoming trip through music, and that means a lot of K-pop.

Oh, yes… that’s a clue to what I listened to recently. With that, I kick off the second edition of The Recently (the newest blog series on The Diary), where I share what things I did recently (e.g., what I listened to, what I read).

Anyway, are you ready?

Notes to Self XIX

I, The Deranged Writer, love any type of music. On every music device I have ever owned, from my third-generation iPod Nano (anyone remember that?) to my iPhone 15, my music library is a melting pot of artists and songs. I was not vocal about my love for various kinds of music though; only a few friends knew this fact.

But that all changed when I found myself on a Dave Grohl interview marathon (for the nth time) on an afternoon in 2011.

10-Minute Warning CXXII

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Remember when I said I was about to buy a Samsung Galaxy S24+? Well, I was about to buy one the night before our family’s flight to Japan. But after another reflection and some convincing from my younger brothers, I bought an Apple iPhone 15 instead. Exactly 7 days after buying the newest basic iPhone, I can say that I’m happy with my purchase. 2009 Deranged Writer – a person who wanted an iPhone back then – would have freaked out with said purchase.

Anyway, I will try to make a review of the iPhone 15 soon. I will also try to write about my recent trip to Japan with my family. I will try. I will try. Blah blah blah. I know I keep saying that even if I already have more than 100 drafts on my WordPress dashboard. But I will keep on trying.

See you tomorrow!
