Lazy Sunday afternoon

Lazy Sunday afternoon, originally uploaded by Alexander De Block.

I've already previously expressed my love for Sundays. I just want to reiterate how much I love this day out of all the other days of the week. When I was in high school, my favorite was Wednesday. In college, it was Friday. And now it's Sunday because:

♥ There's no pressure

I can always bum around on a Sunday and not feel guilty about it. I can sleep all day long or stay in front of the computer without being reproached either by myself or others. I can watch tv almost all day long starting from (my guilty pleasures) variety shows until showbiz/entertainment talk shows. It's perfectly okay to be doing nothing and just laze around.

♥ Of Sunday Lunch Outs

I'm happy that my mommy made Sunday Lunch Outs imperative. At first, I was hesitant of the idea. I thought it was... hmm, I couldn't think of anything. Maybe I was opposing it just because it's her idea. Anyway, that's a whole new different issue altogether. Back to Sunday Lunch Outs... it's a nice way to spend time with the family. We get to try new things together and have these shared experiences every week. Also, we get to eat good food and there's an excuse to binge (on good food, nonetheless).

♥ I get to dress up

Or down. It would really depend on my mood. But every Sunday, I get to wear dresses and other outfit ideas I see in fashion blogs. I am cooped up inside the house almost everyday, wearing pambahay and if ever I do go to the plaza, it's a bit OA to dress up naman. I can dress up on Saturdays but I commute going to class and I reckon it wouldn't be that comfortable. Plus, dresses does not equal public transport. Plus, it's hot. It's only on Sundays that I get to comfortably sit in the passenger seat.

♥ We're closed on Mondays

I don't have to think of work for one whole day. I don't have to check up on things. I don't have to think that I have to be there even just for an hour or two.

Also, I've assigned every Monday as my No Guilt Junk Food Bingeing Day and Movie Day.

I used to hate dresses and skirts.
I used to think they're too girly.
But then the time came when they're
the only ones that fit...
So I changed my mind.
Now I love skirts & dresses
cos they're so purdy
and it always allows you to eat
a little bit more ;)

I want you.


I need you.


Oh baby, oh baby.

Walang Title

Just finished watching the first episode of The Mentalist. Oh no, I think I found myself another series to get addicted to.

♥

I had nail art done on my nails yesterday. We're offering nail art soon and we're building up our menu of designs the customers could choose from.



Nice, huh?
Our new nail tech knows how to do nail art and so we're taking this as an opportunity to make our "product line" wider. I hope she stays long with us and not be fickle-minded as most nail techs are.

It was my turn to treat last Sunday. We ate lunch at Shakey's in Libis. Cousin Dodoy joined us for lunch. He was here for a two-day vacation and also to celebrate his birthday with us. As usual, missing in action ang mag-asawang Tiu.

After lunch, we had to bring mommy home since she has this renewal of vows with her Legion of Mary group. Then off to MoA we went.

There was this Let's Go Green event in MoA where AB and the org she works for participated in. I took this picture there, inside the Green Home. I applied the Sunshine PW Action on this photo.


After MoA, AD, Dodoy and I went to G4 to watch Sundo. Craptastic. It wasn't scary at all. If I were asked to categorize the movie, I'd put it under Comedy. Even children know that ghosts could pass through walls and stuff. But why oh why do you think your bullets could take care of the ghosts, Robin Padilla? FAIL.

Promise

Game. Seryoso na'ko. Totoo na talaga.

Starting tomorrow, I'll go on a quasi-diet~
No more Coke.
No more sweets overload.
Five spoonfuls of rice, tops.

Well, it mighty gets frustrating when you can't fit into A N Y T H I N G!
Plus, I have to lose weight for my sister's wedding on October.

In other words~ kung gusto may paraan, kung ayaw may dahilan.

Lenka Lenka

My latest discovery~ Lenka. I've been listening to her album on repeat! I love her songs and her cutesie-patootsie voice, very catchy. Sort of a feel-good type of music. Her songs make you want to skip instead of walk. Hehe. Reminds me of Sesame Street (kahit Batibot generation ako).

They're comparing her to Regina Spektor but I think her music's more upbeat and less emo. I find Regina Spektor emo. Lenka sounds happy. Listening to her songs makes me giddy and squee with glee...

My three favorite songs from her album are The Show, Knock Knock and Don't Let Me Fall.

I am just a little girl
Lost in the moment
I'm so scared
But don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
-- The Show

Underneath the moon,
Underneath the stars
Heres a little heart for you
Up above the world,
Up above it all
Heres a hand to hold on to
-- Don't Let Me Fall

A warm bath, a good laugh, an old song that you know by heart.
I’ve tried it but they all leave me cold.
So now im here waiting to see you,
my remedy for all that’s been hurting me.
-- Knock Knock

My Sacrifice

Now that the Lenten season has started and I already made the first step by going into confession last week, I vow to make some sacrifices.

Last year, my sacrifice was not to go online on Holy Week. This year, I promise to not drink Coke on Holy Week. It might seem facile to other but for me- a Coke junkie- it sure is hard as hell. We all have our addictions and for me it's drinking too much Coke and surfing the net for loooong hours. I Another sacrifice I'll make is to not watch DVDs and downloaded series/shows on Holy Week. The past years, this was what we did~ have movie and Kdrama marathons. This year, I'll read a book instead.

Anyway, my "sacrifices" for this Lent may be superficial but for me they are a great deal. I live and breathe these vices and quitting them, even for a wee period of time, is torture.
