to have your cake and eat it too

i didn't want to work last wednesday but office was cut short to half a day.
i didn't want to bring a whole lot of stuff to my girls' night out, and i was able to bring it home first.
i wanted to exercise and i had the time.
i didn't want to commute, but color-coding was lifted, so my dad brought me to work and to my friends'.
i didn't want him to waste gas, and my sister's departure coincided with mine.
i wanted to dress up and i could without the commute.
i had reasonable dinner and coffee. and lots of sweets from anne's place! and good talks long overdue.
i guess rica was the only missing piece.

thursday, i had the time to nap, to exercise, to read, to watch a dvd, to make sandwiches, to pray, to spend time with mum and dad.

friday gave me the quiapo experience without the danger. i was at the balcony the whole time, while merv did his suicide ride on the carroza. even with the stench and the heat, it was still a privileged position. i was able to abstain from meat despite mealtime circumstances. i had a cool ride coming and going, i had time to nap, to bathe well.

saturday and sunday was the best - karl and i played house at his house. what a happy easter.

oh, the poochers are missing. damn.
