Tonight, I’m starting my second job. But first, I’m psyching myself up by listening to CM Punk’s first WWE theme song, “This Fire Burns” by Killswitch Engage.

I read my post from yesterday, and… man, I sounded so sad. And you know what? My time for sadness is done for now, and I need to get back up. I can’t stay sad for long.
To fuel myself and bounce back again, I’m listening to an absolute banger, the ferocious “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” by My Chemical Romance. It’s my favorite song from their fourth studio album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.
And a pro wrestling trivia: “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” is the theme song of WWE’s Tables, Ladders & Chairs PPV event in 2010. I’m pleasantly surprised that an MCR song became a song for a WWE event.
The weekend is almost here. Let’s fucking go.

It’s Saturday night and I’m still happy from last night because, for the second time, I met one of my childhood heroes, Mr. Tetsuo Kurata, the actor who played Kotaro Minami/Robert Akizuki in the tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Black. This time, I met him at an exclusive dinner in his restaurant Steak House Kurata at Parqal.
The dinner slash meet-and-greet last night was more memorable for me than the first time I met Mr. Kurata because of one key moment: I almost got speechless when Mr. Kurata, his son Kotaro, and Ms. Anne of TokuSpirits approached me while I ate my salad. I had a short message prepared on my phone, but I was so shocked when the man himself was in front of me that I forgot my message. But I got it together seconds later and thanked him for making my childhood awesome. Also, my photos with him this time looked better than my first photo with him. (Too bad I forgot my mask for this though so I can post a photo on my Instagram.) I will always remember this night.
Because of this epic milestone, my Song of the Moment is Kamen Rider Black’s opening song—and Mr. Kurata himself sang it. And I’m listening to the theme song while I’m enjoying my Jack and Coke Zero.
Again, I say to Mr. Tetsuo Kurata, thank you for making my childhood awesome. And thank you, Steak House Kurata and TokuSpirits, for making the exclusive dinner possible. Thank you so much!
(I will try to make a proper post about the event next time because I’m so tipsy as hell right now.)
