10-Minute Warning XIV

So, what can I type here in under 10 minutes?

Oh, yes. Because I have been coughing for a week, I went to see the doctor yesterday. And thank goodness I did. The good news: I don’t have COVID-19. The not-so-good news: I have to drink 5 medicines for my cough and cold plus asthma. (It’s official: my asthma is back after so many years.) I know that’s a lot of medication, but at least I know what to do to get rid of my sickness. I hate being sick.

Father and Younger Brother also went to see the doctor because they have been coughing like hell as well. They were given fewer prescriptions than I did. I’m envious somehow, but at least they don’t have to deal with many meds like I do. And thank goodness they don’t have the coronavirus.

As for Mother, she doesn’t have coughs or colds. Thank goodness. I hope I don’t infect her or anyone else in the coming days. I’m currently wearing a face mask at home to be safe.

Also, I printed a lot of documents while dealing with a shitty Internet connection. I had to reset the modem, connect my laptop to the printer wirelessly, print the documents, and then do it all over again. And I did the process 5 times. Damn.

And here’s some other good news: the 11×17 print I ordered from my favorite cosplayer, Riki “Riddle” LeCotey, will arrive at home in just a few weeks. I ordered them last December 2022 as a birthday gift to myself and a “peace offering” to Ms. Riki because I greeted her with a happy birthday way too late. Then I had the prints shipped to my ShippingCart storage account, saved a bit of money for the item shipping from ShippingCart to my house for 2 months, and then finally had the item shipped to my house. I’m so excited to get my prints! Now I need to avoid death in the coming weeks.

And time’s up.

30-Minute Warning I

What can I say in this post in under 30 minutes?

Well, this is the 4th straight Minute Warning post and the 1st 30-Minute Warning post here on The Dispatch. That’s great because I have been blogging frequently as I promised. I’m planning to mix it up a bit though. I’m planning to publish more short poems soon and a birthday letter to The Undertaker this Friday, March 24. (Would you look at that… The Deadman has a birthday!) I hope you, my dear reader, can check that out this weekend.

Last night, I saw my younger brothers’ band perform in a bar in Marikina. They performed 2 original songs, and they killed it! The 1st song was released last June 2022, and they are recording the 2nd song recently. I’m pretty excited about the upcoming song because it will be the band’s 1st Filipino single and the lyrics are about resting after being so tired. (That’s a topic I can relate to.)
