4 days off work…

and what did i do?

i kept myself cooped up in my pet house. there’s really nothing much in the house, but for some reason i could not bring myself out of it.

thursday.
i woke up sometime past six in the morning. took care of giving myself a puff of rhinitis spray. checked out my toy if the series and movies i was trying to download were done. they weren’t. why not, you ask? because i’ve chosen to download really, really, really, old episodes of Grey’s Anatomy [Season 3] and Two and A Half Men [Season 4]. so yeah, even up to this writing, i’m still downloading. Grey’s, which is about 8.40 gig, and TwoAndAHalfMen, which is about 4.6 gig, are only 95.5% and 46.6% downloaded respectively. so my little toy’s been acting like a horsemachine for almost 4 days now. i couldn’t turn my toy off and just resume the download later because a few months back, john configured my toy with DEEPFREEZE software that anything i do is considered temporary by my toy. thus, restarting my toy means, i will have lost anything i’ve done as IF i havent downloaded or done work with it. i could easily ask him to cancel deepfreeze. But one, he forgot the administrator password of my toy and he needs it to remove programs and two, for weird reasons, i like that my toy don’t have any long term memory. yes, there are drawbacks, but there’s also an upside to it.

anyway, after i had some personal stuff done, the day was all housework for me. swept the floor, mopped the floors of blue and purple rooms, and the living room. cooked my version of chicken paksiw, washed dishes, and watched the latest episodes of Heroes, House, and Fringe. took a long shower, then did my laundry as i listened to Broadway hits, which also took me a couple of days to download 2.2 gig of hits from Les Miz, Phantom, Rent, West Side, and a host of others. i capped the day watching the movie 21 and episodes of the series Chuck and episode 1 of The Mentalist.

friday.
woke up sometime past 10 a.m. did an hour or so of yoga. managed to do yoga again since i borrowed the office’s laptop to finish off some work. had a really, really, late breakfast as i watched an episode of Chuck. did the dishes and hit the shower after. Since i brought the laptop to do some work, i had to do what must be done after i’ve taken care of my stomach. last tuesday, dana sent me an mp3 file to transcribe, thus, i spent the whole afternoon until 9 PM transcribing the freakin’ mp3. as i’m one who couldn’t put off something i’ve started until it’s finished, i was unable to drag myself to whip up something for lunch except make myself a cup of coffee and pop some cornik. in fact, when he-who-causes-pain-and-pleasure showed his face at my windows out of nowhere, i only managed to open the door for him and then resumed work. haha, told him i’ve to finish my thing so can’t really talk and that he’d just have to get what it was he needed to borrow for himself. soon after he was gone, i finished transcribing, but could not bring myself to subject my ears again with all those Korean question statements and English dialogues and monologues. decided to rest my eyes for a few minutes, but fell asleep and woke up around past midnight. hit the shower again and rewarded myself with a movie. then i could not bring myself back to sleep and found myself surfing the Internet until it was already 6 A.M.

saturday.
began the day by hitting the sack. woke up sometime 11 a.m., and did an hour or so of cardio exercise and yoga. yes, though my wide waistline disproves it, i just love sweating through exercise. and yeah, i’m taking advantage of the holidays and the fact that i’m blood-free for the next couple of days. if not for my bleeding problem, i would be exercising my hearts out. so yeah, allow me the luxury of exercise as it’s only a few days from now until i hit my withdrawal bleeding period again for the 3rd cycle of progesterone treatment. after enjoying my late breakfast, i hit the shower and resumed work. koreans, i noticed, tend to flood me with extra work if they realize our office will be closed for a few days. so, it was editing work for me the whole Saturday afternoon until dinner time. since i was only to do some editing work on a story, i managed to whip up some dessert and cook macaroni and tuna in spaghetti sauce. after i had dinner, i rewarded myself by watching an old movie of Diane Lane, “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Darn, beautiful sceneries of Tuscany and Rome. hit the shower again and tried to read the book i asked for Christmas, again with “Broadway” hits in the background, but found myself beckoned by my bed. so it was an early night for me. hit the sack around 10 PM and believe me, it’s a treat for me to be able to sleep this early.

sunday.
nothing extraordinary. did an hour of yoga upon waking up. had some of the macaroni and dessert that i made the previous day. watched a couple of movies: a Filipino indie entitled “MISSTAKEN” and a review of the movie “21″. checked on the progress of my downloads and now writing this stuff. as of this moment, my phone’s signalling an incoming message. it’s probably my parents wondering why i haven’t shown myself in labangon. so off to the shower for me now.
