Dynamic Weekend: Weeeeeeh!

Weekend is one of my most awaited days of the week apart from holidays. Because on these days I am able to rest my mind from some of the stresses I have at work and I can spend time at home :) Oftentimes I've been spending my weekend from sleeping to death allowing myself laid-back on bed which is not really productive. I always tell my office mates to enjoy their weekend before I went off from work but I myself only enjoyed it sleeping slashing a day from my two-day supposedly weekend. But this time since I luckily have a fixed weekend off I want to have my weekend more dynamic from now on. I started last Saturday actually. Though I went off from work past two hours of my scheduled time off (which I usually do) I refused myself from lying on my bed and started doing my weekly room-cleaning. I changed my bed sheet, pillow covers, curtains, etc. I also did the laundry, play with nephew Carl, I did everything to keep my bed from inviting me to lie down. After I set up my desktop I continued watching my favorite teleseries online :) weeeeh buti na lang may napaglilibangan ako to keep me awake. I also tried doing my sketch as gift to my friend but my creative hands and mind don't meet. After doing those things I allow myself to lie down at roughly 5 PM for a bit but I ended up sleeping and woke up past 10 PM. I guess that's just enough I also need to give myself some good rest from completing my chores :D

I tried checking my FB profile sent replies to messages I overlooked and get back to sleep. Woke up at 4am and there goes my awake body again. Continued watching my fave teleseries Be Careful With My Heart when my mother asked me to look over her store 'coz they will attend an early morning mass. Spent time downstairs brought my tabbie with me to hopefully watch the other episodes but I can't make it work because I don't have a Flash player installed to make online streaming videos work so sad :( pero okay lang inulit ko na lang yung Pilot episode sa Youtube. When my mother finally got home, now it's my turn I want to go to the church early (not so early though but early 'coz I usually attend the evening mass before) Details of this was already posted on my previous post. Then I spent some me-time for two hours went back home, rest a bit and prepared to take off to meet up my office mates/friends. When I was waiting for ride my father saw me and he insisted to send me to our meeting place hehe though ayoko sya paguring ihatid ako okay na din at least makakarating ako ng mabilis dun. Salamat Tatay :)

There we go, spent time singing the songs from the playlists while we drink and eat. Ahahaha parang concert namin ni Regina because we mostly sang the songs on queue. Madaya kase mga kasama namin eh until they finally took their turns out of booze. Iba rin talaga ang nagagawa ng alak Ahahaha. Because of that, the couch invited me to take a nap that made me feel dizzy and drunk. I went to the bathroom a couple of times just to throw up which made me sober up a bit. After spending four hours at the Videoke Bar they decided to spend some time at Starbucks Coffee in Metrowalk to cool us down from being drunk. I really enjoyed the night, that was the first time I saw Joben so drunk :D hehehe ganun pala sya malasing nagi-EOP? They let me smoke and drink hot coffee because I really don't feel well they even told me to stay at Rej's place to rest before going home but I insisted. I know how much I can handle, I know myself. They were worried and reminded me a couple of times to text them once I reached home. Oo na nga paulet-ulet? Hahahaha I can't blame them they are my friends. We had to end the night since there is nothing else to do, all of us are worn out especially Imee for taking care of us (the babies). I texted them right away when I reached home.

 

This is one of the things that made my weekend dynamic; playtime with my nephew Carl :)

On this day of your life, Mj, we believe God wants you to know ... that it's okay to receive.
Have you been the giver for so long that you have forgotten how to receive?
Allow others to give you some of the love that you give so freely. Seek a balance between your giving and your receiving.

I received a lot of love and care on my weekend from friends, family, and someone from somewhere :) The thought that you are remembered is one great thing to consider :)

Spending time ALONE :)

October 14, 2012

 

I was able to spend time for myself. Went early to the church and attended a mass after praying at the chapel. Lit three candles for every prayer I have as I try to feel how golden silence can become. This one thought has always been the subject of my date with God:

"Only in silence you can hear God speak to you. Only in silence can a real prayer, a heart prayer be born. Next time you start chattering, stop and feel into the silence, feel its shape, its texture, and then slowly and silently say only what really has to be said."

I admit that in silence, apart from my family and friends there is always one person I pray for.

After spending two hours of serenity at the church, I decided to give myself a treat. It's been awhile since I spent time and money for myself so I guess it's not bad to give myself some great comfort in buying a pair of shoes, new jeans, and clothes :D It's a good thing that I went out during payday because I was able to enjoy a bunch of discounts and sales. Instead of one for each item I initially planned to buy, I got two pairs of shoes (buy one take one :P), two jeans that perfectly fit me (50% off its original price), and two tops (20% off its original price) I love SALE! Buying these stuffs are not really considered as just a luxury because I really need to buy new clothes and pants these days. Since I lost weight and turned skinny most of my old goodies don't fit well anymore. 

Having this opportunity to spend time with myself alone is one of the rare things I am grateful to experience. You only have to think of yourself and you don't have to consider anyone to decide where you want to go, what you want to do, and how much you would spend :)) Though this me-time was spent for just an hour or two I really enjoyed it. Just because you are alone doesn't mean you won't be happy. Sometimes you will feel that you're the happiest having this kind of treat. I guess I can consider this as one way of loving and knowing myself more. By the way, my perks are inviting me to join them later tonight. I guess I had enough of knowing myself for today I want my weekend to be more dynamic so sige pagbigyan na though I have to travel miles to be with them I want to make it up to them because the last times that they invited me I always had an excuse.

smiles over weeps

Just adding a new color on my blog :)

Today I got the chance to glance on my secret blog (a blog that I created to draw out my hidden thoughts and desires) and read through the posts I scheduled for keeps. Those were actually not just a blog post out of my random thoughts but my saved convesations with someone very special. I remebered how it made me cry while compiling the zany, teen-age like, bitter sweet conversations we had. I missed that person that much so I hampered myself from writing those memories to keep me from weeping. Today, yes today as I read through every captured word written I noticed myself smiling. Though things have gone totally different compared to how we were since the day we started, at least now I can say that only smiles are painted on my face while reading those conversations that made me really happy. No more weeps of sadness, I admit I keep on missing him (I always do) but this time I just tell myself "All is well" and believe that it is all well. It doesn't solve the problem though, but I gain more courage to face it with the help of someone who watches from up ABOVE.
