30-Minute Warning XV

OK. What can I share here in under 30 minutes?

Let me recall what happened last weekend. Last Friday night, I had my weekly Jack and Coke and an Army Navy California Burger to kick off the weekend. This is why I’m fat. But whatever. My weekend kick-off makes me happy. But this time, I lessened the number of Jack and Cokes I drank – I drank 2 instead of 3. My therapist told me to slowly lessen the drinking instead of going cold turkey, so I did. As much as I want to gulp my favorite drink, I need to take care of my health.

How about last Saturday? Well, the day was all right. I paid some bills and I rested a lot. Thank goodness for the weekend. But the most note-worthy thing happened during the night: my younger brothers’ band joined a battle of the bands. As usual, I recorded their whole set, but I was screaming and cheering for them this time. Unfortunately, they lost, but what matters is they did their best. Better luck next time… and I will invite more people to cheer for the band. And hats off to the other bands – they also killed it and they deserve the cheers they got.

As for Sunday, I went to church and then I dropped by my favorite spot Satchmi. But before I went to my favorite cafe, I suddenly saw a friend that I had not seen in… a decade? Yeah! It was that long. But seeing my friend for a few seconds made my day – the 1st friend I interacted with in person this 2024. I love it when I see good friends suddenly and without planning it! After seeing my friend and having my weekly cafe drink, I joined my Mother and cousins in having some tasty ramen for dinner. My weekend ended on a lovely note!

Moving on to today, I feel great! What happened during the weekend gave me a lot of energy to do all the sudden workload for today. And working while listening to the Foo Fighters’ 10th studio album Medicine at Midnight – which was released 3 years ago today – motivated me even further. Thank you, my favorite band.

I started my week strong, and I hope to keep it up throughout the week and beyond!

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning CV

What can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Right now, I’m outside Mow’s. I just watched my younger brothers’ band and I recorded their whole set. Awesome performance as always! I also watched Jetcoaster and Sunflower Station for the 1st time. Great set from them! I should check out their songs later. And I’m looking forward to seeing Autotelic and Ang Bandang Shirley in a few minutes.

What else? Well… I’m having a hard time posting and refreshing my feed on X (formerly Twitter). I wonder what’s going on.

10-Minute Warning XCIII

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Last night, I went to a gig at Ellipsis. One of the bands who performed were my younger brothers, and I recorded their whole set while singing along to them. They killed it as usual! And after the gig, my younger brothers, their friends and I went to Goto Monster for some late dinner. I ordered a tasty beef tapa (with white rice and sunny side-up eggs) and a Coke Zero, and my stomach is so full and happy.

After dinner, we went back to Taft to drop off my younger brothers’ friends, and then we arrived home at 4pm. What a night. I’m so tired that slept right away upon arriving.

And then the longest sleep that I have this 2023 happened. I slept for 12 hours; I woke up in the afternoon. Damn.

Tonight I’m going to have a steak burrito from Army Navy and an ice-cold Jack and Coke while watching White Collar. Hello, weekend.

And time’s up.
