Stayed in the whole weekend. Pretty boring. But I liked it. I liked being alone and keeping quiet, not going online or talking to anyone. It was peaceful. There are just some days I need to be by myself and recharge, then I can face the world again. My brother was telling me of this comic strip wherein the character was saying that when the world is being too mean, just curl up at home in bed with comic books until the world looks more kind. Something like that (its sounds much better if I saw the strip, but that's more or less the gist). That's how I felt this weekend. But I'm still not comforted nor am I recharged yet. Sigh. :(

It's been an okay weekend. I love weekends only because they're my days off and I can forget all about work... although I was planning to go to work on Saturday morning to finish some stuff. Changed my mind after a while because I got annoyed with the idea of work on my weekend. Went to Makati for lunch and I ran into one of my friends from college! Totally unexpected. :) She was my classmate all throughout college--can you imagine that? From our freshman block to the majors and masteral, we were blockmates. And we weren't really friends-friends (until fourth-fifth year anyway) to make things work out like that. After two years, I saw her again and we tried to squeeze in updates about our lives before her running off to a movie. She also had big news! Super exciting stuff.  My Valentine's Day gift to myself: shoes!They're mega-girly shoes which I had to take a pic of because they're totally not me. White flats. I'm so not fashion forward--I've been hemming and hawing if I should buy ballet shoes/flats for the longest time, I was sure they would go out of style once I bought them. So anyway, I bought flats at T Studio... how can I not love T? All the sales people know me there even if I try to be as inconspicuous as possible. I suppose they remember me because I'm there a lot, I more often than not walk away with something and I even ran into someone I knew there and we ended up making chika for quite some time while his girlfriend looked around (to Tessa & Ange, it was Pip with the gf! Ahahaha!). Eek, the lady who assisted me even said that when she was still a trainee she already saw me there. But it's a good store, I generally love their stuff. Plus, they asked me if I had a discount card since they noticed the bag I was carrying was from there as well. I said no, so they added the value of the bag to my receipt and told me that when I come back I should bring my other bags/shoes to add to my receipts so that I could accumulate enough for the discount card. How nice is that? It's such a lesson in customer service. Haha, loyal customer plugging... but that's what they get when they encounter a sucker for good service.

An entry I wrote last February 14, but was too tired to post then. :) Happy Hearts' Day! ?It's been a pretty normal day. Nothing out of the ordinary, save for the cookies distributed by Ms Tin. I got the broken heart one, much to my friends' dismay because it's unlucky. An unlucky cookie won't do much harm as the dating god hasn't smiled on me too much anyway. Although I have some fond memories of Feb 14 in my all-girls' school before: Valentine's Day was Teachers' Day! So the students got to be teachers and had to handle classes. I always volunteered (it was fun, really. Besides, we wouldn't be doing anything in our class because most of the other people were student-teachers too) and I even became one of my favorite teachers ever. I have to admit though, the best student-teacher experience for me was when I was in Grade 7--I handled Grade 1 students and they were very sweet, just very hard to control during the Mass. To think, a few days later, all the teachers had to attend this important, whole day meeting so we (the main student-teacher and a partner) were placed in charge of the teacher's schedule for the day. My partner and I were given the teacher's lesson plan for the day and we had to execute it as the real teacher would. We happened to get the particular teacher's heaviest schedule (four classes of Grade 1 students in one day?!) and it was not easy. Still, I honestly enjoyed being a teacher then. Now I wonder why I didn't pursue Education in college. It's a noble profession and I appreciate the fulfillment of teaching.

My dad was following a couple earlier today in Makati. The guy handed a small gift to the girl, saying, "This is my substitute for love" to which the girl accepted. Okay fine. (This is my new expression. I picked it up from NC. My bro doesn't like it because he expects a "whatever".) If I were the girl, I would break up with the guy! We think he meant "token" or "symbol", but who knows.

Oh fudge. I'm so sleepy. Rava and I had lunch at BPB. She had lek lek which looked interesting despite the name. I miss our chicken skins but I think chicken skins remind me of the days I was off at 4pm and that makes me sad because I miss those days. I saw Snort there, but I don't think he saw me. Was he the one my friends were guessing if his name was "Rey" or not? Did we guess at all? Haha, memories.

Okay, it seems that I've been living for the weekends lately. I just can't wait for the weekends, it seems that the week keeps on dragging ever so slowly! I suppose I've gotten used to more than a year of split days off, working on weekends. Weekends off have never been so tiring! Good thing I have American Idol to amuse me on Wednesdays and Thursdays, thus signalling the weekend is near. Yay, this weekend I might go out with the girls to watch Jude in Alfie!
I can't quite believe it's February already. I haven't used any of my planners yet--only because I'm quite undecided what to use my planners for. They're very pretty, although one is big, notebook sized and the other is a small, slim one. I actually got those two last year yet and I have been dying to use them but now, I don't know for what. The small planner, my dad suggested, is for my bag wherein I can jot down important details or reminders while I am going around and the big one for the office or home for other things (like my expenses, according to my mom). Yikes. I have the most uneventful life and I don't like tracking my expenses. Really. I am super in denial about recording my expenses, mainly because when I see my transactions I know it's going to hurt! Hehe. I mean, the transaction made sense at that time that's why I don't mind spending for it. So when it's all laid out on paper, it's scary. Speaking of being in denial, I wrote in a few entries back that I was okay and over a lot of things. A few days after I wrote that, I was feeling resentful again. But I let that pass again. Now I don't know how long this is going to take and I hate to think that I'm stuck again. I've been this way for a long time already and I have to do something asap. Hay. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm setting deadlines again and I have to follow them. I'm in denial that things will get better no? But who knows nga naman di ba?
