Song of the Moment XXXIV: Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You” (featuring Clipse)

Last June 24, 2024, I walked and jogged on my favorite jogging path for an hour after more than a week of not exercising. And the exact second I stopped jogging, heavy rain poured. I ran to the nearest parking building, and for some strange reason, I wanted to hear this song from Justin Timberlake. I don’t remember the title, but I remember this line:

If you smile, then that should set the tone

So, I googled “Justin Timberlake” and the above line on my phone, then finally saw and remembered the song title: “Like I Love You”. I quickly opened my Spotify and then played the song on repeat. What a dance-worthy song. And I also learned the name of the one who made and performed the rap verse: a hip-hop duo named Clipse. Thank you, Google and Wikipedia.

Now let me listen to this Justin Timberlake classic on repeat again. Happy weekend!

10-Minute Warning CXXIV

Hello, Diary. I’m sorry for not updating here yesterday. The main reason for the lack of update is that my home’s Wi-Fi is down. Also, I was out walking and jogging last night and have reliable mobile data, but I don’t feel like blogging on mobile.

What happened today though? Other than working on proposals and watching a few Marvel Cinematic Universe films with my cousin Jake, nothing much.

See you tomorrow, Wednesday.

Song of the Moment XXVII: Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” (A Nine Inch Nails Cover)

Yesterday I didn’t feel like writing, hence the lack of a blog post. I just wanted to work during the day and then have my walking/jogging session at night, and I did those things. I feel better after walking and jogging around my usual jogging path.

Today, I woke up earlier than usual to join my Mother in her meeting with a major client. After that, we had cheeseburgers for lunch at 8Cuts and went home. On our way home, I was groggy because I lacked sleep, so I took an afternoon nap.

And then I entered into a bad dream. Again. I can’t tell the details of my nightmare (what happened and who was in it), but all I can say right now is this: I have been fearful of the same nightmare for the past 5 years and counting, and it feels so real whenever I enter into it. I hate it so much. And to make it worse, I woke up with my nose bleeding like a faucet.

And then I remember Johnny Cash’s version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt”. How appropriate.

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

That is all.
