10-Minute Warning XL

Nothing much happened besides doing some work and my usual daily routine today. So, instead of what I can share today in 10 minutes, maybe I should share my plans for tomorrow.

What would I like to do tomorrow? I would like to dedicate a few more hours than usual to writing on my new Moleskine 18-month daily planner, and then a few more hours also writing here on The Dispatch. I have been successful in updating my planner for an hour daily, but I have been repeatedly writing here on the blog in under 10 minutes daily, and I think that needs to change.

As for writing while drinking and eating at Satchmi, a different cafe, or at home, it will depend on the weather. It has been raining a lot this week, so I will see about that.

As for what I would like to do tomorrow that does not involve writing, I started watching The Punisher on Disney+ while I’m typing this, and I would like to keep watching it tomorrow. And maybe I should drink a Jack and Coke while doing that.

But crap. I ran out of Jack and Cokes. I should buy some.

30-Minute Warning VIII

So, what can I say here in under 30 minutes?

I’m capping off a pretty eventful few days with a can of Jack Daniel’s and Coke and a viewing of episode 1 of Secret Invasion, the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries. I don’t usually drink a Jack and Coke on a Friday night, but this is a nice change of pace.

About the recent job interview and design test: I was able to submit the test mockups on time. And 30 minutes after I sent those, I got another scheduled interview on Monday, 9:00 am. If I remember correctly, it will be handled by a social media executive. Wish me luck!

Tonight, I’m supposed to go out and see my favorite busker at BGC, but I took a 2-hour nap and I woke up a bit late. Good thing there’s a live stream though, and as for seeing said busker live, there is always a next time.

What else? I gave my sole bottle of Jägermeister to Younger Brother so he can bring it to a potluck party. I think Youngest Brother will also go to the same party. And I can always buy another bottle just like how I can always buy another can of Jack and Coke. Have a nice party, my brothers!

Lastly, I have been to my favorite cafe Satchmi twice this week. I had a matcha latte last Tuesday, and then I had a BLT and iced chocolate last Thursday. Will I go there again tomorrow or on Sunday? I don’t know, but I don’t have to. Having a single hangout time there once a week is already enough.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning V

So, what can I say here in under ten minutes?

Today I’m thankful for the most satisfying and relaxing weekday sleep since entering the family business last January 16. I went home at 1am and then woke up at lunchtime without hearing my parents/bosses complain. I’m sure this will not happen again soon, so I’m thankful.

Also, tonight I gathered my shit together and jogged at Three Trees. This is the 1st exercise I got since March 2023 started. I need to get back to doing aerobics and walking/running more. I was not this motivated in February.

And oh! I’m going out in a few minutes and have a drink with Younger Brother, Youngest Brother, and their music buddies. I’m craving for some Jack & Coke, so I hope they have that drink at the bar we’re going.

And yeah, I know. Jogging and then drinking? Very healthy.

And time’s up.
