30-Minute Warning XXII

All right. Finally, I’m back to blogging. But I will make this quick because I feel I will get sick tomorrow.

Last Friday, our home Internet connection was down and it went back on Saturday evening. That was the longest time we didn’t have Internet at home in, perhaps, years? I don’t remember when exactly, but it has been a long time. As for my mobile data last Friday and Saturday, well… it worked and I can blog on mobile. But I don’t feel like doing that; I want to blog on my laptop as usual.

What else happened last Friday? Oh! I needed to go out and pay something for the family business, and then I had a late lunch at my favorite restaurant, Gringo.

Wait. This is the 1st time I mentioned Gringo here on The Diary, and it is my favorite restaurant. Why is that? Because I rarely eat there, even if it’s my favorite. My visits there are extraordinary – notably, I had my 32nd birthday dinner there with my favorite and a few of my closest friends. But since I have been mentally unwell recently, maybe I should go to Gringo more often? Like, once a month?

A weekly visit to my favorite cafe Satchmi, and a monthly visit to my favorite restaurant Gringo… that sounds like a great idea.

As for what I had for late lunch at Gringo, I had a Hungry Plate 2 – char-grilled chicken, chili con carne taco, and a bacon cream fusilli. And I had an iced tea as my drink. I feel like I’m in heaven after my lunch. Yes.

What else happened on Friday? Since our home didn’t have Internet but we still have cable, my cousins, Younger Brother and I channel-surfed, and we settled for HBO and watched Inside, a psychological thriller starring Willem Dafoe. And because the Internet connection sucked, I didn’t check the synopsis. I only checked the movie’s genre, but that’s it. And it made the whole movie viewing more enjoyable while we munching on nachos and gulping ice-cold Jack and Cokes.

And that’s it. I need to rest. I really feel like I will get sick.

10-Minute Warning L

Currently, I’m on my way home with Younger Brother. After a few rainy days, tonight we finally got our exercise time at Track 30th. And after we exercised and we went back to the parking area, the rain poured. It’s still raining while I’m typing this. I hope the rain stops when we reach home.

Oh! I will have my therapy session tomorrow night and then I will follow my younger brothers at Ellipsis. We will go to a bar in Poblacion after.

And that’s all I can tell for now. Blogging while sitting in a moving car is difficult, man.

10-Minute Warning XV

So, what can I tell here in under 10 minutes?

I’m typing this on mobile while my younger brothers, their bandmates and I are on the way to Cavite. This is the 1st time I’m blogging while on a moving vehicle, so I’m only focused on writing. I can’t make a featured header image here as of now.

Tonight I saw my younger brothers and their bandmates perform (and killed it, as usual) at a bar in Menlo, Pasay. Last night, I also saw them perform at a bar just beside tonight’s venue. I love seeing my brothers’ band live while I gulp on a few beers and cocktails. I usually don’t go out at night, so I tend to enjoy the nightlife whenever I do go out.

And because I saw my brothers’ band tonight, I was not able to go to my favorite busker’s birthday gig. When I have to choose between my brothers and another favorite solo act or band, I choose my brothers every time. And there was also a dress code for the gig (which is a school outfit; student, admin, whatever) but I don’t want to ruin Flannel Friday. (That’s a weekly habit of mine when I wear flannel every Friday, no matter what the weather is.)

And oh! I have been drinking alcohol more than usual yesterday and tonight. I think that’s all right because I rarely drinking too much booze. I drank this cocktail with Red Bull, Sprite and gin, this cocktail that tastes like peach, and San Mig Light.

And time’s up.
