yakking some more

i'm feeling a little under the weather last night. thermometer said it's just 36.5 C, but i feel like i can cook a bacon on my forehead and neck. i don't like the feeling of pre-sickness. i'd rather have the sickness right away and get it over with. no initial symptoms please! i'm not good in preventing sickness once those initial symptoms start showing anyways. i end up getting sick still, so don't warn me about it.

woke up this morning feeling a little better. did i finally succeed avoiding sickness, or is it just the fact that it's friday?

fridays have a way of diffusing tension and panic at work. i should be panicking right now because a work ticket was assigned to me yesterday and i'm expected to get it done until early next week. that might sound like a lot of time for me, but i know nothing about the work ticket given to me. i'm completely in the dark. i don't even know where to start looking, much more, what kind of modifications i need to make. and my pc is not setup for development yet.

instead of researching, i'm sitting prettily at my desk. basking in the happy feeling that it's friday! nobody can ruin my day. my mind is on weekend mode already. it doesn't help that it's dress down day today. fridays + jeans = unproductive day.

at times i can force myself to be productive on a friday. but this is just not one of those days.

the recent addition to my weekend itinerary, rollerblading, is giving me something to look forward to. it wouldn't be as much fun if i'm not with je, who constantly watches me in the hope he won't miss my first fall. =P

my weekends were transformed into days of housecleaning, yardwork, in-law visit, mass, and tv. at times, laundry, pressing and shopping squeeze themselves in. gone are the days of eastwood, greenbelt, glorietta, timog and malate. no more sitting at starbucks or seattle's best, sipping coffee or frap. no more dinner dates with friends. or last full show movies. in a way i miss those things. maybe not the activity itself, but the people i'm with when i'm doing those stuff. i can still sit at a starbucks here, and have as much coffee or frap i like, but it's not the same. the coffee back home is richer and tastier when it's blended with stories about your friends' life.
