10-Minute Warning LXXXIV

I checked one of my alternative birthday venues today and asked about their reservation fees. Their answer made my heart and my wallet cry. How much? Let’s just say that it’s more than my current monthly salary.

As for Jollibee being another alternative venue, I’m crossing that out. I don’t feel like celebrating there this year. Maybe next year.

It’s 18 days before my birthday, and there’s still no venue. Crap.

Moving on, here’s something I’m certain of now: In celebration of my birthday, I’m going to blog every single day from November 22 to December 5 (my birthday). I’m working on a few posts early so I can achieve that. Watch this space!

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning LII

OK. What can I tell here in under 10 minutes?

First of all, I would like to say that in a few days, I will be publishing my 100th post here on The Dispatch. And as I approach a historic entry (for me, that is), I’m planning to make fewer Minute Warning posts. I’m planning to make more non-time pressure content like Gratitude Logs and Notes to Self. Watch this space, my friends!

And as for what happened today… other than helping someone with a small debt and having Jollibee’s Chickenjoy for dinner with my Father and Younger Brother, nothing much happened. Today has been OK. But at least it’s not a bad day.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning XLII

My birthday is on December 5, but as early as today I’m already looking for possible venues and thinking of a theme for my party. One of the venues is a Filipino-themed restaurant that has function rooms that can handle 12 to 40 people. As for the theme, I’m thinking of throwing a karaoke costume party.

Wait a minute. Do I even have funds to throw a party? The funny thing is… no, I don’t have any funds as of now. I don’t even know if I can throw a party with just my family. But as I continue to note, plan and manifest my dream birthday party, I feel better and more motivated to save money for the event.

I will see if I can pull this party off. Wish me luck!
