birthday hints, chinese day and a pretty slow weekend
if the first three birthday greetings you get are pointers on how to run your life or what are the things you should prioritize as soon as you gain one more year then mine will look like this:1. continue your love for food. dome sent in a post card with a greeting and some discount but only if you oder 5000 pesos worth of food. not that i don't mind spending that much for food because i love dome food but i have to think that over especially since amber delivers. haha.
2. no matter how busy you are, keep up with reading. powerbooks sent me an e-greeting with their usual fabulous discount every birthday month. so if you have plans of buying really expensive books this month just holler and i'll gladly let you use my birthday discount. the amount they allow me to spend is pretty big so why not use it wisely.
3. don't be afraid of your dentist. my dentist (one-time only) sent me a greeting attached to a note that it's time i pay them a visit. she'll be shocked to know i still have the same set. i hope she doesn't hate me for not paying attention to anything she said the last time i had my cleaning.
so there you go. food, books/learning and dentist/health. not bad for an idiot's guide to surviving her 26th year in this world.
on another note, this weekend was a slow one for me because i wasn't feeling so good. it's the time of the month again but still i made the most out of the energy i could muster.
friday was chinese food day for me. i was tired from my sleepover at crowne with my dear trixie but i still came to work early. to reward myself for not falling asleep during the morning meeting, i finally bought the zara dress my monday girl has been bugging me to buy. chinese number one was lunch at mann yann with officemates. later in the evening, i dropped by my old office to say hello before meeting with kara a.k.a. maskara girl (;) who just got back from a US vacation. she picked our resto for the night, solihiya, and though i noticed as i was browsing through the menu that the food is chinese i didn't bother switching restos. chinese number two. that's how much i love yang chow fried rice. monday girl joined us later that evening and she's with some good news which is that she's moving to a new job. cheers! we were supposed to head to bizu for dessert but kara remembered right at the doorstep that she has a whole bizu cake at her place, haha. so we spent the evening eating off kara's bizu cake and talking about eraserheads and everything that happened around that time that this band rocked our life.
i stayed home the whole saturday eating quality junk food by which i mean ruffles and my favorite chocolates in the world. my high school friend jo anne paid me a visit and we talked for a good two hours about our life then and now. she just got back from one year of working in the US so that's a lot of catching up considering i haven't seen her since college graduation. another highlight of my day was the movie august rush. loved it. so much.
it was an early sunday for me. had breakfast, went to mass and ran some errands. was supposed to go to a premiere of a friend's movie but i don't think the energy i have can make it to manila. so here i am, raking in some more rest so that the remaining days of this time of the month wouldn't be bad. i need a fresh stash of chocs ;)
