10-Minute Warning CLXVII

What can I write here under 10 minutes?

Physically, I’m better now. It looks like I’m getting used to eating less carbohydrates now. And as for my mind, it is not all over the place compared to last Sunday. If I do get anxious, I can handle it better now. Thank you always, Dr. M, for the breathing exercises and the techniques to ease my anxiety.

And what’s up with me aside from work? Well, I just finished Season 1 of Daredevil, and now I’m onto Season 2. I love all three seasons of Daredevil, and I think I will finish them (again) just in time for the new series Daredevil: Born Again. I’m so stoked to see one of my favorite Marvel characters in action again this March 5, 2025 (Philippine time) on Disney+.

And… that’s it. That’s all I can say for now.

10-Minute Warning CLXVI

All right. What can I write here under 10 minutes?

Or better yet, I should answer this: How am I today?

Physically, I feel weak. It must be because I woke up feeling tired, and I started eating less rice or carbohydrates in general. I realized that I had been eating more than usual, and I felt sad about how fat I looked. I also admit that I have been lazy about working out lately. I need to be careful about what I eat and I need to exercise more as well. I’m not getting any younger.

And mentally, my mind is still all over the place. I had a bit of work to do, so that kept me distracted for a while. Now I want to go out tonight and have my favorite affogato… or maybe a different drink, any drink that will make my heart and stomach happy. (No alcohol though. It’s not the weekend yet.)

Overall, I’m not fine, and I feel that I will be like this for the rest of the week. But I hope I will be wrong about that.

To everyone, have a nice week.

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

I’m not going to lie. I have felt physically and mentally tired for the past 2 weeks. That’s why I have not followed my blogging schedule again. That’s why it was a struggle for me to do my daily routine.

But what keeps me going are my recent “lamp posts”. The 1st lamp post: My Father bought ice cream for me last Monday afternoon. I don’t know why you did that, Father, but thank you. I appreciate it very much. And my 2nd lamp post: my weekly affogato at Satchmi. Now my week is complete, and it’s only Tuesday. To my favorite cafe, thank you once again.

Another lamp post: the half-shell Deadpool mask that I ordered last August. I think I will get it by October or November, so I should wait and keep going. I’m so excited to wear it soon; I call it an early birthday gift to myself.

And time’s up.
