a not so laid-back day

I was awaken by the cordless phone ringing beside my ear.. half awake, I turned on the phone and I heard my fiancé voice.. Wake up! Wake up! But its Saturday, I’m allowed to be in bed for as long as I want. It’s 9 a.m. and my fiancé is already wide-awake and preparing to go to an electronics depot in Manila. As I put down the phone, I stared at Angels and Demons (novel by Dan Brown) sitting beside my cell phone. A voice in my head said, “I don’t want to get up just yet, but I can read while lying in bed right?” the next thing I knew the phone is ringing again this time at 10:30 a.m. ( I obviously fell asleep again) It’s my fiancé again, he called to tell me he’s on his way out. I was able to convince myself to get out of bed at 11:00 a.m. made myself a tuna sandwich and hot chocolate for brunch.

While munching on my healthy breakfast (that sandwich with iceberg lettuce are so yummy) I decided to watch the VCD that Maya lend me, Uptown Girls (starry Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning). It was such a funny film and I was actually surprised at the ending and uncontrolled tears are falling down my cheeks. Dakota is so young yet so talented, I just love her acting in this movie.

I thought that the rest of my Saturday would be a laid-back day. Well, as I checked my Gmail, I saw the email I sent to myself (a backlog from work and my report for Monday), Sigh, I shouldn’t have checked my email so I can forget all out it… but then again ... I still have to do it tomorrow, so what the heck! I’ll do it and get it over with.

I took a break for an hour to eat dinner that was around at 5p.m. (I haven’t eaten anything after that tuna sandwich so I was so hungry.) Went back to work after my hearty dinner (fried tilapia and tofu with mushroom soup). After an hour, I went up to the den to watch TV (re-play of One Tree Hill). Back in my computer after an hour and finished my backlogs around 10 p.m. Now I can feel my eyes are in tears, too tired to keep them open so I need to go now and do my hygienically rituals and head to the sack to end this day.
