Song of the Moment XCI: New Radicals’ “Someday We’ll Know” (Again)

Many things happened yesterday. I took the train to Makati and met my parents there. We did an ocular in the south. We tried an interesting Filipino restaurant near the ocular site. We had a nice afternoon coffee at the nearest mall. I watched Superman for the second time (alone, this time), and that made me appreciate DC Studios’ first movie even more. And then I dueled with my cousins on a game of Uno. (Just one round.)

What are the things that tied it all together? I was with my loved ones, and it was raining all day long. Also, I had to power through all the events even if I only had 5 hours of sleep.

Now, the continuous rain, the lack of sleep, and yesterday’s events led me to have a mellow mind and heart tonight, with a celebratory Devil’s Cup on hand. It has been a month and a few days since I felt this way, and tonight, I’m fine with it.

And remember when I said that my Spotify has been playing the right soundtrack at the right time recently? The universe and the app did it again tonight, and this time, it played something that reminds me of an old friend and a bittersweet moment. It’s “Someday We’ll Know” by New Radicals, a previous Song of the Moment.

What a perfect mellow song for tonight.

Happy weekend, everyone.

10-Minute Warning CLXVIII

Hello, Diary. Let me explain the lack of updates since Monday.

In my current job as an admin assistant, being busier during the first week of the month is pretty normal. But since this week started, I’m so swamped to the point that I don’t even have time to write here on The Diary or even offline. (Well, until now. I’m using my afternoon break to make time for blogging this quickly. And that’s it.) Yes, I also have time after work, but recently, I have been using that time to rest and take it easy. That is how busy I am lately.

I hope to find more blogging time this coming weekend… or perhaps tomorrow because I have a lot of things on my mind.

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.
