Happy Independence Day!
Three-day weekend, thanks to the the celebration of the 111th Philippine Independence Day. I was glad to not have to work last Friday, so I declared this weekend as my independence day as well; from work and adult life, that is.
My main goal for this weekend was to reconnect with my old, old, old friends, and myself. That, I think, I was able to accomplish fully.
Friday was spent with Allan and Francis in Tagaytay, talking about squash, pumpkins and zucchini. Typical us. I originally wanted to go to the beach that day, but they didn't want to, so we ended up in Tagaytay.
We went to T House Spa for a massage (I got a 90 minute massage which was absolutely fabulous.), and then merienda at Carlos Pizza. We planned on getting drunk once we get to Manila, but fatigue got the best of us. I just slept the night away, which was actually what I needed even if it was a Friday night, and technically, I should be out. Hahaha.
I had a catch up Saturday afternoon the next day with my best college girl-friends, Vany, Cla and Jho. We had lunch at Flaming Wings, while catching up with everyone's lives. It felt like college once again; having lunch at Flaming Wings. It was our favorite place for lunch, and it still felt comforting, being in the same place with the same people, wearing the same college-y clothes, despite the fact that college seemed ages ago.
We walked around Eastwood Mall afterwards, still talking about random things, just like we did years ago.
And then I had my alone time at Azta Eastwood, where I got my hair relaxed and cut and had a manicure and pedicure. I met up with Virlynn after, and did more catching up. :)
Sunday was spent with Papa, and myself. Hahaha. We just walked around Rustans, then watched this Denzel Washington movie (I forgot the title, sorry.) I also got a facial at Belo (I really, really love it there. The people are very welcoming, and the services very comforting. They really make you feel taken care of.), and had my eyebrows groomed.
And now I'm blogging, getting myself conditioned for the work week ahead. Somehow I feel better, but at the same time, I feel sad. It's times like these when you realize how much you've changed and how hard it is to revert back to how you used to be. But then at the same time, it's times like these that make you feel good, knowing you always have people there around you, people who really know you, that will always remind you of how and what you want yourself to be.
