10-Minute Warning IV

So, what can I say in ten minutes after reading the last 10-Minute Warning post?

Oh, God. After waking up at 12pm, I don’t feel so good. On a Saturday, I get to drink an average of five glasses of my favorite Jack and Coke. But last night, my stupid self went for eight. What the fuck am I thinking?

Anyway, I finally got to watch Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings while eating some chicken tinola. I don’t want this post to be a movie spoiler, so I simply have to say this: I love the action scenes and how the movie introduces a new part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The MCU is really good at world-building.

After watching, I took a cold bath and changed clothes. I feel a bit better now, but I want to feel better. So today I’m going to my favorite cafe and safe space, Satchmi. I cannot complete a week without going there, having my favorite affogato, and writing in my journal. I just hope I can find a seat right away because there are a lot of people hanging out there on weekends. (I’m happy that Satchmi’s business is doing great, though.)

And time’s up.

Spoiler warning if you haven’t seen Batman Begins. If you don’t mind being spoiled, go ahead.
