10-Minute Warning CXIX

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

There are 17 days before my family’s Japan trip, and I’m planning my outfits today. Because Tokyo’s weather will be warm in June, I will bring lightweight clothes and should not worry about layering. But just in case it rains, I will bring my favorite Bullet Club jacket and an umbrella.

Moving on… my 2nd custom Funko Pop may be done earlier than expected – probably at the end of the month. I’m excited for that as well! I’m looking forward to bringing my Pop to the Japan trip!

And now I’m capping this post and the work week with a refreshing, cool Jack and Coke. Happy weekend, everyone!

10-Minute Warning CXVII

OK. What can I tell here in under 10 minutes?

Nothing much. While working on billings today, I was thinking: Should I buy a new phone? Specifically, should I buy a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or a S24 Ultra?

Despite a minor screen problem, my current phone – a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G – still works well and it has a great camera for a mid-range phone. But I have been using said phone for 3 years, and I think it’s time for a change? Also, the S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra are faster, their screens are bigger, they have better camera specs, and their Galaxy AI seems cool.

Damn it. I have to decide before the Japan trip… or maybe later. Why am I overthinking this? God help me.

And that’s it. That’s all I can say.

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.
