sex and the city weekend
scene 1after work on a friday
the night i got a rare dinner treat from sunshine and fashion friend
the cast would have been complete but D's text would come in later in the evening when we've already went our separate ways. anyway poor me got a ucc (park cafe)dinner treat and by the end of the evening fashion friend has already decided what kind of roi they would get out of this good deed. i'm game as long as it's still related to food. topic for the night was the bench and how it's so satc sans the sex. haha. maybe not exactly totally without the sex but something close to that. also in the agenda was to imagine how i would handle a broken heart. seeing that i can beat charlotte in delivering the line "i curse the day you were born" to their mr. bigs, my friends are so worried that when it's my turn to wallow i'd be a handful. i think about that too but i don't worry, just give me a box of royce and i'll be fine ;)
scene 2
busy saturday
where i nailed an article, some errands and a bridal shower all in one day
i woke up early to finish up a smart buys page for a mommy magazine (yes, i happen to like writing for mommy magazines too). i've been thinking about it since the time we shot the products so it was kind of easy to let the words flow. i failed at my attempt to start on the next article so insteadi went to rustan's for some retail exercise. my roomie's mom and sister are arriving tomorrow so buying the bulb for the kitchen cannot be delayed plus i had to do all the planning over the phone for snicket's shower away from her and near my fellow weekend shoppers.
bea and i were the advance party for the shower. thanks to cecilia, we had the executive suite as the perfect scene of the crime. as bea said "i could live here" and i second the motion because i loved the view of the manila bay sunset. some of the unforgettables of that evening: learning how to blow and tie a balloon (over a dozen of them), m&m's game and these lines...
"aaaah, aaaaah"
"i'm a lawyer, this is harrassment. you can go home na."
"okay na, tama na."
to the tune of mariah's always be my baby the original version.
oh and a bubble bath to end the night while listening to saving jane's albums in my ipod.
scene 3
not so lazy sunday
where i went from steady to flat out dead to panic and then to steady again
cecilia texts - the room comes with free breakfast so eat ;) i love my friends, they know what i need even if i don't say it =) i didn't care if i slept at 4am, i dragged myself to palm court for breakfast with janice and ira. ira and i then spent the rest of the morning making silly videos before experiencing car sick on our way home. i slept for 3 hours in my own bed and then when i woke up i got stressed over knowing that i haven't ticked off any of my things to do for the day. i called my dad to greet him happy father's day. check. i rushed to the mall to hear mass. check. i ate somewhere nice so i can finalize the draft i have to write. i wrote my draft. check. so now i'm steady again. thank God.
so this is what it feels like to really, finally move on. june 16, it's the date ;)
