t.g.i.f.

It was a long week, and to top it tall, today is a loooong, gruelling day. My fridays are usually light and easy. But not anymore :( Fridays now are extensions of Mondays. The load of work never ends. And it makes me really sad (and mad!). Today, I was supposed to be out at 3pm. Backtrack 6 months ago, I can leave the office a minute after a sign out of ITKA. Fast forward to today, I left at 5pm (I know it's not that bad but if you really know me that well, that's too long an amount of time for me to be staying in the office. I make sure I follow a daily timeline so I don't need to extend my working hours. Work for me is 9 hours, the rest is for my family). My body was sore and my mind was floating. I decided it's time to pamper myself heee =)

Called up Arthuz to let him know what my plans are. We agreed to meet up at Mugs N Wash at 7. (Diego badly needs a bath!). Then I made an appointment with The Spa Acropolis. Five minutes later, I found myself in their lobby. The staff was nice. Ambience was homey. And the smell was soothing. I had the 60-minute deep tissue massage. Relaxing, envigorating, soothing. You can really never go wrong with The Spa.

After the meet up, Arthuz and I drove to Dampa in OJV, Ortigas because my in laws invited us over for dinner. Lizzie was with them as well so it was double purpose. Today is friday so it's a no-meat-strictly-seafood-day for the family. We feasted on chili garlic prawns, crab in sotanghon, steamed lapulapu, halaan, grilled pusit and of course, rice! If my calculation is accurate, I gained another pound today. Argh.

I am bedbound now. Just waiting for Lizzie to finish coloring her books. We're attending the christening of stelz's aka blusum's (the third of the pie) son, enzo. I am a ninang so we can't be late. The travel from our place in Cainta to San Agustin in Intramuros is a good 1-hour drive (without traffic!) so I better hit the sack now. I have been awake for almost 22 hours already. My mind is spinning. And all I care about now is my bed, my body pillow, my comforters, Arthuz and Lizzie. Goodnight everyone! Cheerio.
