breather
had the best time being away from the metro and getting work off my head. i don't usually join sleepovers (im REALLY lazy to pack for one, especially since ive too much to pack for my rituals and i tend to overpack.)
had intimate dinner at eun's place to celebrate her birthday (happy birthday atorni skinny!) and catch-up. since her place wasn't exactly close to any of ours, we slept over. dindin was especially nice because euns served ribs (my fave!) and her cake was anything but chocolate which is great (ill probably explain it in another post). it was also great because i found someone who tells her story with as much details as when i share mine. amazing. i realized why people reacted like they did all these years (lol) and so i shall attempt to tell my story differently from now on (lol! peace!)
i swear i felt like being on tour again! cool! i did not miss my bed that night, i was just glad to be sleeping in a room full of people i was comfortable being with. though we ended up in front of our respective laptops, it was a good feeling that we were doing it together. and a funny thing: 2 of my friends toted along the same overnight kit i was bringing! that alone was awesome!;)
it was one of those things that i had to experience again to keep me sane. to remind me that i had a life outside the office. work's been really stressful the past days, there are times when i just want to stay in bed and boycott my responsibilities. but i can't do that because now more than usual, work has a greater meaning. it dawned on me that it's not all about me anymore. in a way that's good. but on the other hand, it gets scarier. part of growing up, i guess. although i choose to be peter pan, i have to slap myself hard and realize that the reality is, i have to grow up. a little more, every single day.
brr, afraid.
anyhow, this break helped. bring on the coming workweek!
