Song of the Moment LXXXII: Wolfmother’s “Far Away”

I have been listening to many love songs lately, including my current Song of the Moment, “Far Away” by the Australian rock band Wolfmother. “Far Away” is my second favorite Wolfmother song next to “New Moon Rising” (both songs are from the band’s second studio album Cosmic Egg), and it reminds me of a bittersweet, important part of my college era.

After listening to “Far Away” too many times tonight, I’m tempted to drink a Jack & Coke Zero now, but no… it’s not Friday yet.

That is all for now. See you in the next post.

30-Minute Warning XXXVIII

Well, what can I write here under 30 minutes?

First of all, I’m feeling a bit better than yesterday. I had a little mix-up at work, but I fixed it right away and eventually completed all of my tasks. And while I was working, I listened to my Song of the Moment, My Chemical Romance’s “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” and then their first album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. As I’m typing this, I’m listening to MCR’s legendary album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.

Secondly, what are my weekend plans? Not much. Yes, I will go to Mass on Sunday. Yes, I will write more at home tomorrow and Sunday. And no, I’m not going out tomorrow. I looked back at my spending since December 2024 (a lot of them were spent on online shopping), and good grief… my savings account is hurting now. I need to be careful with how I spend my money in the coming months, especially since a subscription fee doubled and I need said subscription for work. Oh, I really need a second job soon—a part-time graphic design job, at least. Please wish me luck in my job hunting.

Speaking of weekend plans… Normally, on a Friday night, I would prepare a can/glass of Jack and Coke/Coke Zero (my favorite alcoholic drink), open my laptop, and start writing on my blog. But tonight, I’m just writing with no Jack and Coke Zero on my table. No, I’m not forgetting my drink. I just want to shake things up a little. But now I should get my drink.

(Gets an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero from the refrigerator.)

Oh, and since I need to spend less money in the coming months and to take care of my health, I will start drinking 1 can of Jack and Coke Zero only per weekend. Also, my family gave me a box of 12 Jack and Coke Zeros as one of my Christmas gifts, so I don’t have to worry about supplies of my favorite drink for at least 3 months. The first can from the box has been in the refrigerator for a week, and now I’m drinking it. To my family, thank you so much and I love you so much.

That’s all I can share for today. Cheers to the weekend!

Song of the Moment LXIV: Craig David’s “Don’t Love You No More (I’m Sorry)”

One of my resolutions in 2025 is to listen to at least one different music artist per week – a singer or a band that is not on my usual daily rotation. To kick off my resolution, I started with English singer Craig David, and listening to his hits and a few deep cuts has been refreshingly amazing.

What is my most listened-to Craig David song this week? It’s the sensual hit “7 Days”. But as I type this, I’m listening to my second most listened-to, “Don’t Love You No More (I’m Sorry)”. It’s an R&B song released in 2005 that reminds me of a heartbreaking moment that happened more than a decade later. Listening to it has been painful and addictive at the same time.

Happy weekend, everyone.
