woke up at 6:30am, slept again, woke up at 7am, 7:15am and then 7:30am. i still don’t want to get up. the cobwebs in my head are still pretty much spread out. had tons of work to do. i have audit stuffs looming over my head. the auditors are out to get blood since i have not given yet my requirements, a new resource is rolling in my project and i still have to teach her. not to mention the cases i go over to solve, and the looming end to end cloning activity i have to do this weekend. so there i was in the office juggling things and creating the shell scripts i would need, then accupuncture sessions again, the lunch, then meeting at 9pm, then… aaaahhh! wala lang. gusto ko lang sumigaw. to release the tension.

pero buti na lang pag uwi ko, i still had the time to play basketball downstairs. as usual, it had that calming effect on me. even if i was playing alone, the memories of me playing long time ago, made me smile. concentrating on ball and doing the routines made me feel refreshed and focused. i should be doing this more often. i’ll make that a priority then. too bad there is no hoops around for me to practice my old moves. well, you can’t expect more when you already have this too much space around.

now time to sleep. hope i don’t get to toss and turn too long tonight…

yes it did, it happened again. it was a hot day (at 6pm, the sun was still high up) so i removed my polo top and left my razorback blouse on. while i was walking… napagkamalan na naman akong intsik!!! no offense sa mga instik pero naman, baket palagi na lang! sa airplane, sa daan sa opisina… eh mukha naman akong pinay ah, at tsaka sa skin na lang eh obvious na di ako intsik. hay buti na lang naintindihan ko konti yung sinabi nila. they were asking directions. at buti na lang i know a little bit of mandarin. ang sabi ko lang eh “ti bu qi, bu hwei shwah putonghua”. just plainly translates to i’m sorry i don’t speak the common language. buti na lang perfect ang accent ko pag yun ang sinasabi ko at naiintindihan, hehe.

hay, such a slow day. a painful but a happy one. slow because i was sleepy almost half the day, drinking coffee or liquor is prohibited for me as of this time.  painful because of my accupuncture session today but a happy one as i have confirmed that i have a date in Phuket! yipee! 3 - 5 days of sun, excellent food, and undivided time with someone special. if that won’t make your day happy, i don’t know what will. now what’s left for me is to work out and get these arms and abs unflabbed! now on with the show! the dvds i’m watching that is, hehehe…

had my second session in accupuncture today. i was lucky that its my day off. session always makes me feel woozy afterwards. aside from the fact that its a bit painful and that needles really makes me turn and run. everything just to make my lower back pain go away. you need to hurt to take away the pain.

such a slow and rush free day for me. kind of invigorating. walking outside not worried about the time, seeing lush green trees, dragonflies flying about. little children walking about not worried about anything else. i stayed under one gazebo feeling the wind brush through my face. it just felt so nice and peaceful. one of the simple pleasures of life that i have seemed to have forgotten. i hope i get to have this often…
