Going on a trip

Lately it seems I've been obsessing about the sky and the recent rain and well, sunsets, of course. For the past weeks, I have been marveling at the view of the city from the office's pantry window. It has become a habit to hit that place during the late afternoon because it can get extremely cold at that time and uh, yeah, I do like seeing Manila's afternoon skyline, pollution and all.

Anyway, I just couldn't resist this afternoon and so I took a picture of it with my phone. I've recently been listening to a lot of Phoenix too, so yeah, it's sort of "inspired."

Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go
God bless your miss somewhere
We're sick for the big sun
It doesn't matter what you did
and if you did it like you been told

True and everlasting that's what you want
True and everlasting that's what you want

Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Resist or let go, you're borderline withdrawn

Weekly round-up

The four day work week allowed me more room to finish a few articles for the magazine. For this issue, I believe I'm doing close to 40% of the content (of course, subject to my editor's approval) and I've got 6 left to go!! I'm so happy, especially since my deadline was moved to mid-July.

*Riding an electronic bull and going woot-woot*

I still can't believe though how I managed to spend our city's holiday last Thursday working at the Starbucks right across our street. Normally, I would savor days like this by planning some trip to the mall, doctor, dentist (my gum recession is annoying me, even if it is, in the words of my dentist, "a clean cavity") or salon. I've been too lazy to hit Shangri-la even if I dream everyday about all the sales going on, esp. at Zara and Mango. Must get more of their basic tees, etc.! I hope I could swing by tomorrow--if I don't get a hangover.

Still contemplating on whether I should go out tonight or not. One college friend is having her grad party, and so I'm crashing that (talk about class.. hah!) with one of my best girlfriends. I've been sick all day, with a nasty cough due to last night's dramedy. Also been so fidgety from all the caffeine (2 mugs of coffee + tea). My heart is beating like a mother. How do I make this normal again?

I was quite calm earlier today anyway when I was sorting out all the music and album artworks for my iTunes... SUPER GEEK! My med school friend even passed by the house and hung out for a bit for lunch before her flag football game, and I still couldn't stop sorting my Library. OC ALERT!

Goddddd. My heart is pounding so faaaaaaaaaaast. Make it stopppppppp.

Writing 10,000 words and not making sense

REALLY bummed out because of all the deadlines I don't think I can meet. On top of the articles that have yet to be written, I've got a handful of duties and issues to deal with, both official and unofficial.

I've got a baptism to attend and an anniversary to celebrate, both coming up this weekend. For weeks, I've also been on diet limbo, which is really frustrating because now the harsh reality of being an adult (adult = slow metabolism) is becoming more evident. Plus, so much more money issues to reconcile--bills to pay, debts to collect, my pending raise, the need to buy things I have to, etc. Yes, I'm ranting.

UGH. Everything's just piling up and I'm breaking out (literally, too). I really hope this is just a menstrual syndrome--that, or the annoying weather, otherwise I'm in deep shit, dipshit.

SERIOUSLY, only one thing can make me feel better right now, and that's a good book. I've been dying to buy Haruki Murakami's 'What I Talk About When I Talk About Running' for days now and I might just pick it up after work today. Then go home, sip on a nice cup of tea and kill all the time I can...

BUT just thinking about my impossible workload is already getting me out of the mood.

I need a cigarette.
