10-Minute Warning C

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Well, today was a productive day. After all the partying and eating with my loved ones, today is the perfect day to return to work. Notably, I started working on the billings for December 2023, and I’m planning to finish them tomorrow.

After work, I took an afternoon nap and planned on writing at Satchmi, my favorite cafe. Instead, I updated my journal at home and went out at 8pm to walk and jog at Three Trees. I walked 6 km. (This is my 2nd walk/jog session of 2024. I went for my 1st one on the night of January 1, and I also walked 6 km.)

Right now, my legs are so sore. I’m tired but happy because I started one of my resolutions for 2024. Here’s to starting my other resolutions!

And time’s up.

30-Minute Warning XIV

So, what can I share here under 30 minutes?

Yes, I promised myself to make the year-end post today, and I started writing it at 12am. But honestly, until now I’m still not finished. I give up. I can’t force myself to finish the post today. It’s New Year’s Eve, for crying out loud. I’m supposed to be in a festive mood today. And I’m only human; I make mistakes. A lot of mistakes.

Right now I’m at my favorite spot Satchmi, updating my journal. I promised myself to write more online and offline this coming 2024, so I’m starting today. And I’m supposed to have an affogato today, New Year’s Eve (my year-end tradition), but unfortunately they ran out of ice cream. Instead I ordered an iced mocha. Still refreshing and energizing. With that, I need to change my year-end tradition a bit: end the year with any caffeinated drink at my favorite cafe, not just an affogato.

Today, I might buy a new smartphone so I can pursue my content creation plans this coming year. Might. I don’t know. I want a new phone, but I don’t know. Should I even? What do you think?

Anyway, let me end this post with this: To everyone, have a happy 2024 and beyond!

30-Minute Warning XIII

Surprise! I’m blogging on a Sunday at 1am!

I just drank 3 Jack and Cokes that I mixed myself. And before that, I bought 4 cans of Jack and Coke and 1.5L of Coke Zero at the nearest 7-Eleven. I’m running out of Jack Daniel’s whiskey, so I must buy another bottle before 2023 ends.

You’re wondering, “The Deranged Writer surely drinks a lot of Jack and Coke.” Yes, I am. But in my defense, I only drink during weekends unless I’m in a gig or a social event during weekdays (which rarely happens; the social events I go to usually happen during weekends or late Thursdays). I know that eventually I will lessen my drinking as I get older, but right now I’m enjoying being buzzed after drinking my favorite alcoholic drink. I’m 33, for crying out loud.

Last night, I did something I had never done before: take a bath while being tipsy or drunk. I don’t even know if I did my entire routine step by step, but I’m sure I feel refreshed right now. A few cans of Jack and Coke and a cold bath = perfect combination.

This morning, I need to run errands at the mall. I’m sure there will be more people at the mall because of the Christmas rush, so I need to go to the mall as early as possible and accomplish what I need to accomplish. After that, I will go to my favorite spot Satchmi, have my affogato, and write in my journal there, and then I will attend Night 3 of the anticipated Simbang Gabi.

What else? Oh! I’m listening to Sheryl Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy” on repeat. It still screams what I’m feeling right now.

And time’s up.
