Free Day Today

I cannot believe the weekend is almost half over again. If only there could be some government memorandum granting a 3 day weekend instead of just the usual 2 days...life would certainly be a whole lot better. I for one have always looked forward to weekends because it gives me time to just rest and relax. I get to do the things that I can’t normally do during weekdays (due to the fact that I’m working all day long). It’s only during Saturdays or Sundays where I get take time off my daily routine.

Take today as an example. I got to work my butt off and start exercising again. Ever since I started working, I have not been able to play badminton or go to the driving range anymore; the two “active” things which I have always loved doing during the days when I still had all the time in the world, which unfortunately I am in dire need of right now. Hehe I have also not been on a treadmill since who knows when, which explains why the scale refuses to budge. Anyway this morning, my sister and I sacrificed extra hours of sleeping time to play badminton at Yellow Feather. We decided we needed a good work out because we felt we were starting to get out of shape ever since we both started working. Sitting all day long even when you’re not munching on anything still isn’t such a good idea after all.

After, my sisters and I had lunch at Gram’s Diner at Rockwell. We were supposed to eat at Crustasia but decided last minute to try the diner instead. Wrong idea. Bad idea. There wasn’t much to praise about the food. Not that it tasted bad…but it didn’t taste that good either. But then I probably shouldn’t be expecting anything since it’s supposed to be just that—your typical diner food.

We went to watch White Chicks after at Powerplant. It was one heck of a laugh trip. I’ve been wanting to watch the movie ever since I saw them on Oprah few months back. The Wayans brothers are funny and cute in some appealing way I can't describe. They top my list right next to Will Smith as far as African-American personalities are concerned. Movies like this usually don’t make me laugh as much, but this one is an exception.
