30-Minute Warning XXX

An update on my mental health: After finishing work tasks early, getting rest, remembering my long-term and short-term plans, and starting Season 4 of my favorite show Person of Interest, I feel better now. If I do get anxious or depressed, I can handle it better.

However, as for my physical health, I feel a bit weak and my throat is so itchy. I drank my medicine already so my itchy throat does not become a full-on cough or (worse) a cold. I’m worried that I may skip my weekly affogato fix at my favorite spot if I don’t feel physically better this coming weekend.

What else? Oh… I mentioned that I’m now on Season 4 of Person of Interest. This is the show’s 2nd to the last season, and I’m sad knowing the end is almost near. But I can always turn that sadness around by re-watching Person of Interest again or watching another favorite series like Chuck or How I Met Your Mother.

Moving on, what are my plans that will keep me going? I can tell 1 plan: watching the upcoming R-rated superhero movie Deadpool & Wolverine with my brothers and cousins. I’m excited to see 2 of my favorite Marvel characters team up on the big screen! Deadpool & Wolverine, in Philippine cinemas July 24, 2024.

And… that’s about it for now. Happy hump day!

10-Minute Warning CXXVII

All right. What can I blog here for under 10 minutes?

I have been re-watching the sci-fi crime drama, Person of Interest, for the nth time. I started binge-watching (again) when I went to Tokyo with my family last month. I’m on Season 3 now as I type this post, and I’m about to enter the Endgame trilogy – one of my favorite arcs of the show. I needed a snack and a Coke Zero during my binge-watching, but I’m too lazy to go out.

What is Person of Interest all about? It’s about Harold Finch (a reclusive billionaire hacker, played by Michael Emerson) and John Resse (an ex-CIA assassin, played by Jim Caviezel) attempting to prevent premeditated violent crimes from happening with the help of a surveillance system called The Machine. As the show progresses, it turns from a unique case-of-the-week story into an extraordinary grounded sci-fi series. Person of Interest is my favorite show of all time, and I believe it is one of the most underrated shows ever. If you have not watched the series, please watch it. You will not regret it.

I will make a review series for Person of Interest here on The Diary sooner or later, but for now, I’m enjoying the ride (again).

Notes to Self III

Last February 6, 2023, I made a promise to myself: blog more often again. I started by launching a blogging series called Notes to Self (where I remind myself of a relevant quote from any form of media or someone I know). Today, I’m celebrating my 1st month of frequent blogging here on The Diary. I’m so proud of myself because it’s been years since I’ve blogged religiously. (I think the last time I’ve done that, Tumblr was in its first or second year of existence.) And no, I’m not planning on stopping soon.

Anyway, let me celebrate my first blogging monthsary with the third edition of the same blogging series I started here in The Diary. I want to quote one of my favorite lines from the longest-running sci-fi series in the world, Doctor Who.

Spoiler warning if you haven’t seen the Doctor Who Series 5 episode “Vincent and The Doctor.”
