Indulgent weekend
If there's anything that you should know about me, it's this: I value my "alone time." I need time to just be with myself, hang out with myself, and do something fun by myself. So yesterday, I did some shopping by myself. I have these amazing Rustan's gift cheques from Rach, so I went crazy! It's so hard to choose. Rustan's is my favorite store! I ended up buying two items from my favorite brand in Rustan's Alabang. I don't know why they don't carry this in the other branches.
What I wasn't counting on was spending the ENTIRE day by myself. For the first time, I had dinner by myself on a Saturday night in a low-key restaurant. It wasn't so horrible, but it was embarrassing telling the waiter to set up a table for one. :( I'm glad I brought my music with me!
Ohhh what I ALSO wasn't counting on was receiving 3 phone calls from our company president (aka lolo boss). Oh. My. Gosh. The first one was in the dressing room, the next two in the bathroom (oh c'moon gimme a break!!!). It was the biggest shock of the day. He called to ask me some book titles and where he could buy them, and it turned out, we were in the SAME MALL. :O So naturally, I avoided Powerbooks at all costs.
I got to finally buy Burt's Bees Beeswax! Yay :) I absolutely fell in love with this lip balm when we went to Canada last summer. It's a pricey investment for a lip balm, but it works so well, and the tingling effect feels so good :)
I was supposed to go the gym today but I fell asleep. :( Instead of burning calories, I had a very calorific merienda. Last summer, we bought the make-it-at-home-Frrrozen Hot Chocolate from Serendipity (it is sooo yummy at 500 calories!). So I blended one of our mixes this afternoon and split it 4 ways. Mmmm. Yummm.
This will be my last week in my current office. I'm pretty excited about the transfer, but I'm gonna miss all the people! In just two months, I've built very meaningful relationships with some of these people. I'm gonna miss Peej's "hey hey hey" morning greeting, having Cza as a seatmate, sending stickits the whole day..... I will savor this week, kick-ass in my last two meetings, while training my replacement.
I want to go out with people again. Haha. I've had more than enough of alone time. Ooh I can't wait to go Christmas shopping! Yippee! :)
