Song of the Moment XXXI: James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”

I just came back from Tokyo, Japan with my family this morning. How was the whole vacation? Japan blew me away. The cool summer weather made it bearable to walk for miles, the food – especially their sashimi – was amazing, I bought a lot of souvenirs and Foo Fighters albums without breaking the bank, and all of the tourist spots we went to were breathtaking. The only downside of the trip is that 5 days is not enough to enjoy Japan.

Well, I take it back. There is another downside at least on my end. After having dinner at a Saizeriya in Shibuya, I saw a beautiful girl walk inside the restaurant. She has the face of an angel. 23-year-old Deranged Writer might have the courage to approach her, but now I know better and just let her be.

To the girl I saw in Shibuya, I want to let you know that you’re beautiful and I would like to know you more. But then I quote the last 2 lines of James Blunt’s most famous song…

But it’s time to face the truth
I will never be with you

That is all.

30-Minute Warning XXVIII

All right. What can I write here under 30 minutes?

After a long, stressful day filled with errands, I went home and waited for the arrival of the 2nd version of my custom Funko Pop. I got the new Pop around 9pm via Grab Express, and… wow! I was amazed by its appearance. A very special thanks to Gino Roberto – the artist behind the 1st and 2nd versions of my custom Pop – for killing it! Before he made the figure, he told me that he would make a better version of my Pop, and he delivered! I’m looking forward to taking photos of it in my makeshift studio this weekend. I’m also excited to bring the new Pop to my Tokyo trip with my family this coming week.

What else? Well, since I’m going to Tokyo next week, I want to truly enjoy and document the experience while posting less. That means I might not follow my blogging schedule this coming week. I will still try to post 3 times during the week, but that’s it. And as for my socials (especially on Instagram), I will try to be more active there again. I will try.

In other news, I already started preparing the things I will bring to the Japan trip. My clothes are good now, though I still want to buy a new buttoned shirt. Maybe this weekend? Fingers crossed on that. As for my toiletries and gadgets, I still need to prepare those, and I might need to buy a new laptop bag so I can bring my laptop and be able to blog during the trip.

And that’s it. Happy weekend, everyone!

10-Minute Warning CXIX

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

There are 17 days before my family’s Japan trip, and I’m planning my outfits today. Because Tokyo’s weather will be warm in June, I will bring lightweight clothes and should not worry about layering. But just in case it rains, I will bring my favorite Bullet Club jacket and an umbrella.

Moving on… my 2nd custom Funko Pop may be done earlier than expected – probably at the end of the month. I’m excited for that as well! I’m looking forward to bringing my Pop to the Japan trip!

And now I’m capping this post and the work week with a refreshing, cool Jack and Coke. Happy weekend, everyone!
