A Lovely Weekend

For a change, the week ended pretty well.

I survived the company seminar for one thing, complete with mini-presentations and crammed brainstorms and instant creative executions. It felt like going through thesis year, except we did it in two days. And I thought the two-week revalida stint I did for summer practicum was hell. This was another circle of hell (hehe). But the ending was just as bittersweet, because despite the letdowns and throw-offs it feels really great to stand in front of people you work with and be equals whether you've been with the company for mere months or for long years. A good way to boost the confidence of a newbie. *aherm* Hasn't done much for *that other thing I've been fretting about even after two months of being here*, though. Oh well, one can't have it all.

What I do have, are new shoes. The Nike Airmax Cumbias on my wishlist!!! I tabbed it off my bonus and it feels real great to buy something for myself off my own hard-earned money. I wore it to the gym today and it had this bounce to it that felt great. Or maybe I was just giddy, for some other reason. Hrrmmm, I'll leave it at that for now, wouldn't want to pre-empt anything.

I got to hang out with my friends again last Friday night and Saturday, too. And it felt just like the old times. I missed them. I never fully realized that I did until I saw them today. Labo no? Kung kelan nagkita-kita kami saka ko sila naisip ma-miss. Sometimes over-working yourself could make you forget whatever life you left behind. It feels cathartic, going back, even for just a day, or some hours.

The weekend has been beautiful so far.
