A Commuter's Life

I sort of had a vacation since Thursday. I was away from so many things. Well, I enjoyed the travel pri vilege that was promised to us if we agreed to work on a special project. I went to Cebu! I love riding the airplane. I experienced some ear discomfort though during the flight back to Manila but all in all, the trip was okay. We left for the airport at around 12PM last Thursday and arrived at Cebu at around 530PM. The scene at the airport? Well, nothing much. There was Senator Lacson though. We rode the 747 PAL plane. We stayed at Waterfront Hotel where Lacson also stayed. Dinner time, we ate at PORT seafood resto. Eat all you can for only 299.00! That is less than ten dollars worth of baked oyster, lechon, fruits and vegetables, favorite desserts an  that cozy ambiance. Come night time, we went to Ayala Center Cebu and had a drinking spree. Well, the rest of the group had Vodka while I contented myself with my favorite Zombie which tasted like four seasons juice. I think they forgot to add rum? Well, that was okay except that it has a very high price. Thank you to the one who paid the bill. I went to the ladies’ room and when I got back, we were off to go to another favorite hang- out of Cebuanos and Cebuanos. We went to Larsian. It is a place where you could eat all kinds of barbecue! It was very smoky there! We went back to our hotel room at around twelve AM! CINDERELLA! After a hot shower, we had to call it a night and prepare for the presentation the next morning.

Friday came, I woke up early. I went straight to the bathroom to take a bath again. I prepared all my things because we had to check out of the hotel already. We would be at the office until 6PM then go back to Manila at 8PM. Oh, I missed the Duty Free shop at the hotel. That is the problem when you are traveling without your friends. You could not do everything that you would like to do. I had to tag along all the way with my bosses.

Finally, we were headed home. I reached Makati thru our service van at around ten PM. Oh, I was afraid to take a cab. I sent text messages to my friends that I was already back. I decided to take the bus. It took 20 minutes before it left Ayala. After one hour, I was in Cubao and I had to look for the final ride. I was lucky to find a shuttle service.

1145PM, I was already home having a chat with my husband. Well, I missed him so much. My son was already sleeping.

Saturday came, still my rest day. I tried to take a peek at my blogs. But then again, I wanted to sleep. My son did not let me to and just watched the time until it was already 6PM. We went out  to the mall. The usual thing, window shopping and all. My son bought another little dino toy. My husband bought a card for our prepaid satellite subscription. Oh, there was the Penalosa fight that night. He had that instinct. Me? Well, I was as always at the shoe section. Yes, I got another pair! Well,  unplanned shopping?

We got home at around 9PM. By that time, I realized, vacation was over. I had to work on my assignments to replenish what we just spent. Electric bill has to be paid by the end of the month. Thank God , we do not have to worry about house rental anymore.

I slept at around 1AM after cleaning the refrigerator and doing blog back up as reminded by my landlady in the blogosphere.

Today, I came from work. And as you see, I am trying to write this post…

Oh, it is actually another day. My dreaded day of the week…Monday!

It is no classes for the students. Still work for the elderly… Good thing… my rest day! Well, I have lots of things to do. As I have said… vacation is over!
