Weekends in 1983

Hurray! It’s Friday again and you look forward to a relaxing and stress-free weekend right? We’ll sorry to say that will not be the case for me this weekend. Got a take home assignment to do, Impact Needs Analysis. Wait a minute... Don’t ever think that I’m still in college. I’m already 26 years old (for heaven’s sake!)… and engaged! Anyway, aside from this assignment, I need to do my weekly report for our Monday meeting. Grrrr! I hate bringing work at home!(but had no choice). Plus the chores that needs to be done (cleaning my room, the house, laundry, the dishes). This is not my idea of a relaxing weekend.

Whatever happened to those Saturdays and Sundays where you don’t think of anything aside from being with friends outside the house, playing in the street until its time for lunch and take a siesta and back in the streets again to get your hands and feet dirty from playing your favorite games (patentero, tumbang preso, pepsi-seven up, langit lupa, agawan base, luksong tinik, taguan, step no-step yes, piko et al.) and back for dinner and sleep your way to Sunday?

Sigh…wish it was 1983 again…the age of innocence. Those where the good days, not worrying about work, bosses, money, bills, exchange rate, gasoline etc. If I were to be given a chance to go back in time… I’ll chose this year. How about you?

yeah... as i've said, good sleep is hard to come by nowadays... especially if you are alone in your apartment, and you have to go to gym on a weekend, clean your pad, do laundry, etc. If i were to choose a year to be in to make an escape from all this, i'd choose 1981, or any year in the 80's for that matter during summer. no school then, and during those days, my kite is my only toy. i'll spend 2 days building one and the whole of windy summer to fly it. :)

As John Mayer would sing..
"In these days.. I wish I was 6 again
Make me a red cape... I wanna be superman

oh if only my life was more like 1983..."

1983?!? i was just learning how to walk during this year... definitely the age of innocence for me because i don't even know what's going on. unless my mama waved the spoon in front of my face then i understood it was mealtime.

about the impact needs - whoops. sori about that! she-who-must-not-be-named made me do it!
