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 CLXXVIII

OK. What should I share here in under 10 minutes?

Today at work, I had only a few tasks, and I finished them with ease. It has been weeks since the last time I only had a handful of workload, and I’m relieved.

So, work’s over, my parents ran many errands, and I’m all alone in the house. What should I do?

Then the sadness started to sink in. I can feel this is the kind of melancholy that I experienced almost a month ago—alone in the house, with my thoughts, and with or without my favorite Jack & Coke Zero. And usually, when I feel this kind of sadness, I would just dwell on it but I would also not do anything rash.

But today, I did not feel like drifting in the darkness for long. Instead, I watched a few films on Netflix: Back in Action (a spy action comedy film starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz) and all of two Extraction films (starring Chris Hemsworth as mercenary Tyler Rake.) The impromptu movie marathon (plus the sirens I heard that reminded me of the greatest mathematician of all time, Scott Steiner) distracted me from the sadness.

In other news: I’m really tempted to have my favorite Jack & Coke Zero tonight, but I need to resist. Drinking said drink is my Friday night ritual, and I don’t want to ruin that. Not tonight at least.

…and my time’s almost up. See you in the next post.

10-Minute Warning CLXV

All right. I’m supposed to write a longer post, but I opened my WordPress at 11:40pm. What can I share under 10 minutes?

Well, I really, really had a long day. I woke up earlier as I promised this week, but my sleep was not good, so I felt groggy. But I forced myself to do my morning rituals, fueled myself with extra-strong coffee, then ran today’s errands… and there were a lot of errands. My smartwatch is so happy that I got to walk 6,000 steps before lunchtime, and I honestly didn’t feel tired until I ran my last errand: having a watch fixed. I waited on the bench for several minutes, and I almost fell asleep. Looks like my extra-strong coffee is not strong enough.

With the caffeine out of my system already, I walked to the nearest Army Navy and ordered my favorite chicken burrito with extra orange cheese and a Coke Zero as my beverage. Once again, my heart and tummy are happy. (And this is why I’m fat.) After that, I enjoyed a slower walk around the area.

Crap. My 10 minutes is almost up. That’s it for now. Happy weekend, everyone.
