10-Minute Warning CLVII

OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Yes, I said in a previous post that I will blog more often before 2024 ends. And I also have a handful of recent stories (including my birthday dinner). But tonight, I just want to drink an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero and relax. I want to enjoy this Christmas break more alone and with my loved ones.

I will try to make a proper long post tomorrow. Try.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone.

Song of the Moment LIX: Limp Bizkit’s “Build a Bridge”

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).


After running errands around Ortigas for almost the whole day, I went to Oversight, ordered my favorite affogato, and updated my trusty journal/planner. I felt so much better after that, and now I’m excited (and a bit nervous) for my birthday tomorrow. Thank you, my favorite cafe. I might drop by there again tomorrow.

While I was drinking my affogato and writing, I also listened to music on Spotify for 30 minutes before my wireless earphones ran out of power. I was listening to Jewel’s “Intuition”, Hanson’s “I Will Come to You”, and then Limp Bizkit’s “Build a Bridge”. The latter is my favorite Limp Bizkit song because it sounds so different from their signature nu metal sound and the longing, determined lyrics (especially the chorus) moved me. “Build a Bridge” also reminded me of WWE Survivor Series (2003), one of the best Survivor Series events (in my opinion) and the end of American Badass/Big Evil Undertaker.

Even though it’s gonna crumble down (Gonna crumble down)
I’ll keep buildin’ till you come around (Till you come around)
Even though it’s gonna fall apart and break my heart (Break my heart)
I’ll keep buildin’ till I die

Limp Bizkit’s “Build a Bridge”

After listening to “Build a Bridge”, I decided to listen to a few more WWE-related songs like one of WrestleMania 21’s theme songs, 3 Doors Down’s “Behind Those Eyes”, and two of WrestleMania 23’s theme songs, Saliva’s “Ladies and Gentlemen” and Default’s “The Memory Will Never Die”… and then my earphones ran out of power. Oh, well. At least I’m happy now.

And tonight, I will give “Build a Bridge” another listen. Maybe three more or four.

1 day before my birthday… I mean, less 30 minutes to go before my birthday. Hell yes! See you tomorrow!

10-Minute Warning CLV

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).


So, what I can share here in under 10 minutes?

Well, yesterday I shared that I’m sad and frustrated and I don’t want to explain that further. Today, after focusing on billings and proposals, I feel better somehow. Keyword: somehow. And I still don’t want to talk about the causes of my recent sadness and frustration. Maybe I will change my mind tomorrow. Or maybe not. Whatever.

2 days before my birthday, man, and I hope to turn things around.

That’s all I can share for today.
