an account of me

hi. to all those who greeted me, thanks.
to those who forgot, tsk tsk.

that's ok. you probably forgot coz you weren't invited to any of my parties.

im kidding. sort of.

I was feeling a bit under the weather Thursday night, and especially Friday. I think it mostly had to do with overdoing it with the hockey endurance training Thursday night. I hadn't done it in two weeks and here I was swimming in a pool with a t-shirt on (to create drag); we were doing all kinds of finning, diving, swimming drills. It lasted about 30-40 minutes, but I felt that "dumidilim na ang paningin ko", especially during one of those diving crucifixion drills. After training, I played a few games.

So come Friday, I wasn't in too hot shape. Thankfully, my co-workers didn't mind when I begged off early from work. I took few breaks during the day, so I could ask to leave at 5 pm. (Yes, my job breeds workaholics. Flexi time means that ppl become workaholics) Thank god I have colleagues who can finish work and deliver the goods.

Slept in Saturday morning, which was great. Woke up to some gifts mom brought in over from BKK. Got Saramago's book Seeing (good book choice: nice semi-snobby author, cover looks nice, published recently, no stupid person raving over it), and some DG cologne (subtle enough fragrance, though in true my-mom-style she also bought for herself the feminine version of what she gave me. ha ha ha). Sweet. The packaging worked out too. Book was hard bound and black, and the cologne was in a silver box. so they looked perfect together. I have to really give props to my parents for knowing my taste pretty well already. They wrapped it up using some apple green metal twine. Later in the morning Len called from SG with a funny story about cooking (thanks len); got a few overseas texts (bob, jojo) so that was nice.

Started getting ready at 1030 to pick up Jill, since she wanted to join the intro hockey session at La Salle. She did pretty well, and I got to play. She broke the mask I lent her though. Semi-grrr. Got home, kinda exhausted. Vincent came over in the evening, and what was supposed to be a dinner party became a DVD/Video fest with junk food. Watched March of the Penguins. Awww. and several episodes of It's always sunny in philadelphia.

Slept in a bit again Sunday. Went to mass and then treated the family to Outback. Had my share of red bloody meat. Yeah baby. Afternoon, mucked around the PC and took a nap before heading out for a haircut, and aromatherapy massage. Got home to small dinner party w/ parents + desserts and tasty alcohol. Blogged.

that was my weekend. i hope you enjoyed it reading it much more than I did typing about it. But I DID enjoy it though. Especially the massage. Ready to kick ass this coming week.
