after watching the tv movie Grey Gardens, i thought about the things that have happened today and now that i'm soon gonna be moving to somewhere else, i wanted to blog how a day of mine has been here in cebu. this is nothing special, just an ordinary day of me celebrating it with gratefulness and some happiness, i should say. i thank God it's rest from work today, so i'm not gonna be whining about my job here.
i woke up about twenty minutes after eight in the morning. i think i had a great sleep last night after three consecutive days of not staying in bed for more than four hours and after staying all day yesterday waiting for the water to get back. and yeah it never did until i woke up today, which delighted me because i could take my bath already.
but before taking a bath, it's pissing me off because Xiamen's always has that magnetism to get me to him first thing after bed. and hell yeah! i needed to check Facebook.
after shower, i decided to just stay at home and watch films my friend Hollie had lent me. i was really looking forward to it when our noisy floor fan suddenly went still. oh my god! it was brown-out again. i waited and after an hour when grains of sweats were already growing out of my forehead, i brought Xiamen with me and headed out to SM. i thought i needed to go somewhere cold and good thing that Xiamen really enjoys it there because of the free mall-wide wifi.
before going to the mall, i dropped by at a BDO branch near us to spare part of my recent salary to my savings. funny thing is, i wrongly filled out my deposit slip. and this was the second instance it happened. i was to deposit 4k with 4 pieces of 1k bills. i'd write "1,000" under Denomination and "4" under Pieces. unconsciously, i'd then write "1,000" also in Total. i'm appalled. am i just not good in math now or am i forming some sort of mental incapacity?
at SM, i went right away to Starbucks to drink some coffee. when in Starbucks, i always have to say sorry to myself for consuming a hundred pesos for a cup of cappuccino i could just make with a nescafe 3-in-1 sachet at home. but since i got no power at home, i had to bear with it again today. but sitting, by yourself, in such coffee house is always a good time. it's really paying more than just the coffee.
while sipping and sitting there, i Facebooked again and did some scouting for a place i can stay in in Manila. i found some with really reasonable prices which i really felt good about. i'm just trying to be so positive about this move i'm making 'coz i've always had this tendency of regretting my decisions before i even do them. crazy thing yeah.
after buying me a shirt and boxer shorts, i went home and was so happy that the light was back on. weeh!!! i went right away to my planned movie marathon and right now it hasn't been really accomplished yet because i've just one movie watched still.
anyway, Grey Gardens was a movie about mother and daughter and how their life together has been. and with it, i really miss my mother now and i want to hug her so tightly. i don't know when i will see her again because i don't want to go home yet.
so the day's about to end, will something grand happen before it does? i'm quite hoping but not expecting. =)
