10-Minute Warning CLXXXVIII

Wow. It’s been almost a month since my last Minute Warning post. What can I share here?

Firstly, my throat has been itchy since last Friday, and it must be because I ran errands in the gloomy weather. I had to run those errands. And today, I have been drinking more warm water and ginger tea mixed with honey and citron to speed up my recovery. Normally, I don’t drink many hot beverages, but I made an exception for today because I don’t want to enter the month of October with an itchy throat or, worse, the flu. The last months of 2025 will be an almost jam-packed month for me, so I need to be at least in good condition.

And, man… the tea I have been having today is delicious. I might drink more hot tea from now on. (Maybe more sencha green tea because that’s the favorite drink of Person of Interest’s Harold Finch.)

My ten minutes aren’t up yet, and I would like to discuss plans for the remaining months of 2025. But honestly, tonight, I’d like to rest more, drink tea, and finish Season 2 of 24. I’m just here to give an update on The Diary while I have the strength to blog. My condition might get worse tomorrow. Maybe not. I need to be prepared for the worst yet hope for the best.

See you in the next post.

10-Minute Warning CLXXXV

It’s around 3am, and I think I have a cold. But I’m also disappointed that August has reached 10 days, and I’ve blogged once so far. So here I am, writing for a maximum of 10 minutes.

The last time I blogged on The Diary, I said that I have been experiencing headaches. Thankfully, after blogging that entry, the headaches stopped. Hydration and Biogesic definitely helped in achieving that.

And I think I have a cold now because yesterday, I was relaxing by watching two movies, Dead Poets Society and Click, while drinking lots of ice-cold Coke Zero. One of the small changes I made in my life recently is to drink more water… except Saturdays, my cheat day. But I think I have a personal record (for the worst) because I have drunk way too many Coke Zeros tonight. Also, normally, I don’t get sick even if I stay up late every Friday or Saturday nights, but perhaps I’m paying the price now for being nocturnal during weekends despite my age?

Sometimes I forget that I’m getting older.

Anyway, I still have a few more minutes, but I just drank a Bioflu and hydrated more. I need to sleep now so I can attend Mass later today.

See you in the next post, everyone.

Song of the Moment LXXV: Zedd’s “Clarity” (feat. Foxes) (Again)

Hello, Diary. It’s been more than a week since my last post. Why? Because I honestly wanted a short break from blogging and just live. And after having another mental struggle, beating that struggle with my hobbies and spending quality time with my family, adjusting and preparing for a potential part-time job, and almost healing from a cold this weekend, I’m back to blogging here. (I just hope my cold is gone by tomorrow.)

Oh, and to cap off the weekend, I’m listening again to a previous Song of the Moment: Zedd and Foxes’ hit song “Clarity”. I don’t know why, but I just like listening to it on repeat tonight.

The music video of Zedd and Foxes’ “Clarity”.

See you tomorrow.
