Soft, smooth sand soothing my feet
Moonlight shining over the beach
I looked upon the sky, and whispered:
Life has been kind to me lately, and I’m
Eternally grateful for the glimpses of hope

It’s around 3am, and I think I have a cold. But I’m also disappointed that August has reached 10 days, and I’ve blogged once so far. So here I am, writing for a maximum of 10 minutes.
The last time I blogged on The Diary, I said that I have been experiencing headaches. Thankfully, after blogging that entry, the headaches stopped. Hydration and Biogesic definitely helped in achieving that.
And I think I have a cold now because yesterday, I was relaxing by watching two movies, Dead Poets Society and Click, while drinking lots of ice-cold Coke Zero. One of the small changes I made in my life recently is to drink more water… except Saturdays, my cheat day. But I think I have a personal record (for the worst) because I have drunk way too many Coke Zeros tonight. Also, normally, I don’t get sick even if I stay up late every Friday or Saturday nights, but perhaps I’m paying the price now for being nocturnal during weekends despite my age?
Sometimes I forget that I’m getting older.
Anyway, I still have a few more minutes, but I just drank a Bioflu and hydrated more. I need to sleep now so I can attend Mass later today.
See you in the next post, everyone.

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.
