10-Minute Warning CLIX

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

In my first week of 2025, I feel so inspired to write in my actual diary and planner, make a few drafts here on The Diary, exercise at home and at my favorite jogging path, and work for the family business. I feel so productive and fine overall.

In my second week so far though… not so much. I mean, I’m doing all right with my diary/planner writing and at my day job, but I’m not doing well with exercising and writing here on The Diary. My blog post count for January 2025 so far is 3 (including this post) and I have 0 workouts this week. This sucks. I need to push myself further. Maybe another hangout at my favorite cafe will motivate me…

And that’s all for now.

30-Minute Warning XXXIV

So, what can I tell here in under 30 minutes?

Since November 2024 started, I have been feeling better slowly. It must be because I started walking and jogging again on Three Trees. I already walked and jogged thrice in the past several days, which is a huge progress for me. It feels so good to sweat it out, and I will do my best to keep exercising through the holidays and beyond. (Even if I expect a lot of feasts this coming December. Fingers crossed.)

I also feel better lately because of productivity at work. Specifically, I worked on many proposals and billings without complaining, and I finished them before the first week of November ended. After almost 2 years of working in the family business, I can say that I finally got the hang of it. I’m glad I’m settled in at work and I’m helping out my Mother, Father and Younger Brother in many ways.

That being said, my clerical job’s salary sucks. Yes, at least I’m getting paid, but if I need earn more money, I can’t depend on a single form of income. I need to find another job. I need to find a part-time job that I can juggle with my current one so I can save more money and somehow spoil myself and my loved ones. Maybe it’s time to practice again a forte of mine, which is web and graphic design. Wish me luck.

Anyway, back to feeling better. I have many so reasons for feeling so, which is great. But… I will save those reasons (and stories) for a future post because my 30 minutes is almost up. In the meantime, I’m celebrating the start of my weekend with my favorite Jack and Coke Zero.

Oh, wait. Quickly, I will share another simple reason for me to feel better: Deadpool & Wolverine is coming to Disney+ this November 12. Fuck yeah!

Happy weekend, everyone!

Song of the Moment XVIII: Stone Sour’s “Absolute Zero”

In my previous post last Friday, I mentioned that I was sick. Now, the only thing that is bothering me is my cough. But that will not stop me from walking and jogging tonight. And instead of walking at my usual jog path, I will join my brothers tonight at the gym and use one of the treadmills. And if I can lift some weights, maybe I should as well? Or maybe not. I will see about that.

Wait a minute. I just realized something: Tonight will be the 1st time I will exercise with all my brothers at the gym. Bro time!

Speaking of exercise, let me share one of my all-time favorite songs and the 1st track on my workout playlist – “Absolute Zero” by Stone Sour. Corey Taylor’s melodic screaming and the hard rock instrumentals never fail to pump me up. Hell yeah.

You’re looking at an absolute zero
I’m not the devil, but I won’t be your hero

That is all. Happy Monday, everyone!
