anatomy of a sunday

second day of the four-day-holiday. it’s not that i am complaining but staying at home and having hours and hours of free time is a lil bit…uhmmm boring.

woke up at 10 am. breakfast in bed.

10:30 am sat in front of laptop and surfed the net

11:30 got a call from a friend. she invited us to join then in their songkran celebration lunch.

12noon still at home contemplating whether we should go or not. it’s wild outside with everybody throwing water at each other. we decided that we’ll go.

12:50 left the house. allan took a short cut. this proved to be a HUGE mistake. since the road we took is one that people rarely used, we were sitting ducks to the groups of people with buckets of ICE COLD water. arghhh. one hit me right in the face.

1:20pm arrived at the club house. people were already eating. since allan and i had late breakfast or brunch, we weren’t that hungry.

2pm we all went to the pool side. the boys got a bit rowdy and threw renz [another pinoy] into the pool. twice!!! poor thing didn’t know how to swim. he is safe, though.

3pm we all decided to go to the park where all the major water throwing happens. halfway to the park i told allan that i did not feel like going. so we told the other guys that we’d go head home instead. they folleowed us home and had a bit of snack.

4pm them guys were determined to join the fun in the park. we were left at home.

4:20pm took a bath, surfed the net while allan wathced tv

6pm dinner: rice and italian sausages e heheh tamad magluto

6pm watching tv too,

7:30 til now blogging. allan playing guitar.

hay.

i’m planning to call the guys over. allan and the boys can have a drink or two.

this is the first free saturday we’ve had in months!  we work from tuesday to sunday so we don’t have the luxury of enjoying saturdays save for a few times when it is a national holiday.

it’s songkran tomorrow.  for those of you who do not know what songkran is, try wiki. he he kidding.  songkran is the thai new year and everybody have loads and loads of fun, locals and foreigners alike.  it is that time of the year that people throw water to one another, all in good fun.  this goes on for 3 days.  a lot of water, a lot of booze and a great way to meet new friends.

allan and i woke up at 11am and just enjoyed the free time that we have today.  i spent most of my time watching videos from youtube and allan is with his electic guitar.  we have no plans of going out except later when we go to church.

i’m beginning to gain new friends in the blog world and it is really exciting.  i missed this.

thanks to new friends and thank you for dropping by my blog.  i miss my other blog friends but i dont know where they are now.  must have gotten tired of blogging.

so, my new beginning has begun.

hoorah!
