Saving Gas

I had one of my longest Mondays ever. I slept at around 2:30am from the previous day (why oh why did I not sleep as soon as I got home from the Sunday shoot??? just plain bad decision making!) and woke up at 7:30am because my friend, PJ, and I headed for an interview. I parked my car at PJ's place and he drove for the two of us. By the time it was 4pm and we were heading back to his place, I was getting dizzy and could actually feel cold sweat on my forehead. There was something painful in my stomach that I couldn't really pinpoint and I was already salivating from the pain. For the longest time, I haven't been in that kind of state... I no longer told PJ that I felt like vomitting any minute. I just controlled myself until we reached his house and he gave me additional giveaways from our previous hosting stint. I mustered all my strength and drove my car, fetched Ling from school, and drove back home. I thought that maybe I was just hungry because it was more than three hours since I last ate so I took a piece of the chocolate mousse that Ling got for me before hitting the road. When we got home, Nikki was watching DVDs of HOUSE M.D. Season 2 so we had another marathon even if my stomach still felt weird. Painful kind of weird. Franco and I talked over the phone but he asked me to rest first coz I sounded horrible. But I didn't rest. I ended up watching two more House M.D. episodes.. :p I think my "sick feeling" was really a product of all the tiring activities I did prior to that Monday. Either that or it was because I ate in an unfamiliar canteen after bragging that my stomach could take in anything.

The reason why my title is my title, however, has nothing to do with what I wrote above.

I am home right now when I'm supposed to be out... because I decided to save gas. I've been driving around the Greenhills area yesterday that I think I finished off P500 worth of gas. :( Ok, that's a bit exaggerated but I remember going to the gas station last Monday so between yesterday and Monday afternoon, I emptied the tank without going very far...

Anyway, I decided to skip some classes tonight. I could just jog around the park or maybe play with my zips at home. :-) Practice, practice, practice!

By the way, I finished HOUSE M.D. Season 2 today. Maybe that's also why I'm writing like a zombie. :p

I hope everyone's having a great week! Mine is starting to be boring but I have this feeling that the pace is going to pick up fast tomorrow then I'd wish that I'd have more time to blog :p

Before I leave, here's a picture that PJ just emailed me. It was taken right before the Heatwave concert, my first live hosting gig with him as my partner. Our accessories were courtesy of Sweet whose works could be found along the AS Walk in U.P. Diliman. She generously gave me the earrings, necklace, bangles, and bracelets after the concert coz I loved them! Friends, visit her stall if you have time! :) We were styled by Kat Manalo. :)

Friday, June 9: I realized that my post sounded as if I were about to leave again. But no, I'm not. :) I'm just looking forward to a great weekend here in Manila coz Franco's finally coming home!
I think it's the best way to spend my last weekend before school starts again.

Have a wonderful long weekend, everyone! :)
