10-Minute Warning CLXIII

OK. What can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Today has been a sad day for me.

I woke up feeling sad. I’m sad when I had my breakfast. I’m sad when I took a bath. I’m sad when I opened my laptop and worked for a few hours. I’m sad when I had my late lunch. I’m sad when I looked for a job. I brought my sadness to my afternoon nap, and I woke up again still feeling sad. I’m sad when I had my dinner. I’m sad when I watched the movie Meet Joe Black, and I’m still sad while I’m writing this.

And all of this, I don’t know why I’m sad. All I know is that I’m sad, and I just hope I will not be sad tomorrow.

Song of the Moment LXVIII: My Chemical Romance’s “Disenchanted”

This week, I have decided to listen more to one of my favorite bands when I was in high school, My Chemical Romance. And yesterday, I have been listening to their iconic third studio album, The Black Parade.

Setting aside The Black Parade album’s concept around the character “The Patient”, whenever I listen to the album, I remember my last few months in high school. I remember the day I brought the album on campus discreetly and played it inside our classroom. I remember an old friend (a My Chemical Romance fan since day one) who recommended me to listen to the band’s first album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, and I did so long after. And I remember the night when I wrote the good and bad parts of my senior prom on my first blog, I was drinking an ice-cold Coca-Cola, and track twelve of the album (and one of my favorite tracks as well), “Disenchanted”, was playing in the background.

Oh, the memories. And tonight, “Disenchanted”, is on repeat.

My Chemical Romance’s “Disenchanted”.

That is all.

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.
