10-Minute Warning CLII

Crap. I almost forgot to blog today. Good thing it’s still at 11:00pm. And this post is the 4th entry of the blog series 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024 edition).

I had another productive day at work today. I finished the proposals quickly and ordered a few items a few hours before closing. I’m supposed to run an errand, but I can do that tomorrow and then I have my weekly affogato at my favorite spot.

After work, I had to watch the Filipino romantic drama film Hello, Love, Goodbye so I don’t feel lost while watching its sequel Hello, Love, Again with my Mother, Younger Brother, and cousins tonight… and then movie night was postponed because of work. Oh, well. At least I’m still prepared for the sequel. Maybe we will watch it next week.

Wait a minute. The Deranged Writer is into romantic dramas? Not really. But my loved ones wanted to watch one, so I had to join them. And it’s refreshing to watch something I don’t usually watch.

Anyway, to end the day, I walked and jogged at my preferred jogging path. I’m glad I got some exercise tonight, and I will do that again soon.

And time’s up.

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!

10-Minute Warning CXLIX

A quick update: After weeks of no exercise, I finally left the house to walk and jog for an hour tonight. It feels so good to exercise after work hours. I want to do this more often again.

That brings me to a resolution for 2025: I need to fully work out more. In addition to walking and jogging, I should add more aerobics, calisthenics, or weight training. To start my resolution early, I will slowly add aerobics and calisthenics this November and December 2024, and then add weight training in 2025. That means I will apply for a gym membership or find a way to work out at home. Wish me luck on this!

And that’s all I can say for now. See you tomorrow.
