dateless friday nights
i love my friday nights. after work, id usually go home, turn on the TV to watch the news, buy myself a roasted chicken and eat my dinner in bed. sometimes, i clean my room first, put away all the clothes and the CDs and the tapes and the papers. when im too tired to eat or clean, id spend the night reading a good book. when the whole gang’s around, my friday nights are spent drinking some beer and wallowing in the usual rantings about work and salary and dreams. lately, ive taken to spending my friday nights with my laptop, writing articles or watching a pirated DVD of grey’s anatomy (whohooh! there’s something about doctors and surgeries and hospitals that i simply just can’t resist).
just like my jeepney rides, i treasure my friday nights. It’s my bonding moment with myself. it’s the perfect time to bring some order in my jungle of a room, iron my clothes, do the laundry, work on my scrapbook, indulge on a good book or a good movie, and binge full-blast on junkfood and chips and chocolates and ice creams. friday nights are my panacea nights — moments for healing and cleansing my mind and spirit and body.
sometimes, i wonder about going out on a date on a friday night,– eating and wining with some nice, preppy guy, enjoying the talk and the flirting(heheheh) and relishing the moment before he leaves me and says goodnight. but then of course, these are fantasies, and the nice, preppy guy is probably doing some obscure writing or any of those things nice, preppy guys do on friday nights. 
perhaps im too self-absorbed to ever really care about my friday nights. because, believe it or not, i hunger for my own company and my friday nights are the perfect time to enjoy myself, whether im belching out some hopelessly romantic love song, watching those doctors do surgeries, or simply fantasize about the nice, preppy guy with me on a date.
i think we all need to spend some time with ourselves, get to know who we are, commune with our inner selves. the world tends to be so busy and so impersonal that we lose touch with the very essence of our being. (why am i suddenly being so dramatic here?!?). okay, im cutting this crap. if nice, preppy guy suddenly decides to stop his writing and asks me out on a date, i wouldn’t mind missing my usual friday nights routine. weheheheheheheh…

-um, yeah, siguro nga its healthy to recollect from time to time.. but sometimes too much reflection and pondering on things about ones self gives too much realization that you suddenly feel dissapionted, confused’ you become too aware of who you are that you will see that life is full-of-shit.. (well in my case atleast) haha…

i totally agree…
i think that’s what i fail to realize lately…
i am so busy, thinking that “i dont have time for everything”–even for things i use to do and enjoy for myself.
thanks..with your writing,you reminded me, to make time for myself…
