DAY 9 (exactly after the race)
august 110:18 pm
My lazy sundays have gone through several transformations since uni days until today, as evident in my tv habits. When I was in the dorm I'd be stuck in the third floor TV room watching whatever is on from morning until evening, only leaving to get more food from my first floor room or to heat left overs. On good days, I go out to jog around campus or I do walling after mass and quick lunch.
During my advertising days, I didn't have Sundays as every day is a work day for me. I finally had my Sundays back when I switched to a career in media. I went back to being a couch potato. My excuse being my need to be well-informed as that is what my job entails and boy did I take it seriously. Ask me about any gossip then and I'll sure to know what's the latest. Yes, it's that sad but it was fun too. I only get off the sofa when my then roomie would drag me to her work which I'd gladly oblige to since she works for my favorite mall anyway. Also, there were times when I would decide to spend a whole day at the children's section of the mall bookstore finishing a book or two and yeah, I dabbled in making scrapbooks too.
Just recently I gave up watching local tv. Instead I actually spend most hours of my Sunday checking the stores (part of my job as GM of Royce') and spending time with my uni best friend Grasche and her boyfriend Dex. On Sundays when they are unavailable because of personal errands or sickness, much like when you take a leave from work, I cherish my alone time at the comforts of a cafe reading a book or reclaiming my spot at the mall bookstore. Every now and then though I still go lazy and stay in but not to watch tv. Nowadays I prefer to read more books but it's a different story when it's a Formula One Race weekend or when there's a premiere of a new Disney movie because then you'd catch me sitting in my couch eating chips and reaching out for the ice cream strategically situated at the edge of the sala table. Indeed old habits die hard.
