Sweat and Splurge.

Some days are meant to be long while others were made so that you can splurge. I would often think about how mundane my schedule has become. I used to live without one really (classes aside, I was pretty reckless during my last year in the university). I decided that I should really get myself out there to stop the flat line that is my schedule. Yes to adventure but no to recklessness. I can't afford being reckless anymore.

So far, I think I've done a pretty good job. Last Sunday, I went with my uncle and grandmother to our usual shopping center and shopped until our legs couldn't walk anymore. Then, I went back to the South to meet some old friends. Went home and the next day I went to work.

Tuesday, I met up with him and we had a simple dinner. Despite being annoyed at him for most of the time, I didn't grill him as usual and just decided to listen to what he has to say and "shove" him towards what I think is the right direction. We walked around a bit and I did more shopping.

Yesterday, I was so proud of myself. I've always wanted to cook chili and finally, I decided to just go for it. Went to the supermarket and bought what I could remember from the online article about how to cook chili. My dad loved it (despite his hesitations about my cooking, he ate what was left of it for his midnight snack). My brother loved it (even though he said he didn't want any, he ended up eating half the bowl). I'll be making a batch for Janey, who hurt her ankle. Janey, consider my chili as chicken soup.

Today was more of a sweat day. It wasn't like any other day simply because 'mishaps' happened from the moment I woke up. By the time I was in line in the station, I had to wait an hour and a half for me to get in. Of course, I was late for work and by the time I was doing my morning routine, I was so tired that I felt like going home to take a shower. One good thing today. Had a nice cup of tea (even if I had to go down my building twice simply because I forgot the straws).

Wondering what tomorrow will bring,
