Song of the Moment VIII: Matchbox Twenty’s “Unwell”

Today was an OK day for me. I went to the ENT to have my ears checked and cleaned. (I can hear better now; it’s like I have Daredevil’s heightened hearing now.) I went to pay my monthly bills. I had lunch and wrote in my journal at my favorite spot Satchmi. I checked the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at a Samsung store. I had some afternoon drinks with my Mother and cousins. Then we went home and I quickly worked on a document for next week.

But tonight, I started remembering that one thing that broke my heart, and now I’m mentally unwell. Let me quote that Matchbox Twenty classic.

But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know, right now you can’t tell
But stay a while and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me

I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
I know, right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Matchbox Twenty’s “Unwell”

Now let me dwell in the darkness once again.

IX: Fighting the Christmas Blues (Year XXXIII)

As I said in a previous post: Whenever I feel depressed, it’s either (1) I dwell in the darkness or (2) distract myself to feel better.

Today, on Christmas Day, I chose option 2.

10-Minute Warning XCVI

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Well, at work, I finally finished scanning all the needed quotations. Tomorrow, I will run errands.

After work, I joined my Mother, Younger Brother, cousin and maid in going to Ayala Triangle Gardens. We had some caffeinated drinks at a newly-opened spot, attended Night 4 of the anticipated Simbang Gabi, and then we watched the lights show (something the family and I usually do every year). After the lights show, we had some pizza and pasta for dinner.

We got home at 10pm, and I’m so tired. I will start re-watching one of my favorite shows ever, Chuck.

And time’s up.
