I woke up last Saturday after only about 5 and a half hours of sleep. Immediate priorities were(redundant ba?):
- fix something for my older sister
- deliver some boxes of cookies to my younger sister's friend
- sleep

It was only 5.30 in the morning.

I was meeting my sister's friend at 7.00 am in Tandang Sora, QC. I thought I could allot 75 minutes for travel so I wouldn't be late but the thing for my older sister took longer than I expected so I ended up leaving the house at 6.10 am. I was secretly gnawing at myself for not leaving enough allowance as I flew down the mountain with the semi-patok jeepney. I only brought four things with me: my cellphone, earphones, wallet and the cookies. That should get me through this early morning roadtrip.

On the way to T.S. I was half resting, half letting my mind wander. For some reason, although I barely slept the night before, I felt very light. I felt as if there is nothing I can't do; that anything is possible. I felt very good about my next two weeks - that I would actually enjoy it and have a blast. I thought about all the things that I had planned and dreamed about - that it was never too late, I'm never too old, I'm never too incapable. I felt very uninhibited. Things I learned to keep inside slowly started making their way out of my consciousness. I felt like catching up with each and every old friend I haven't seen or heard from in years. I felt like saying things without censorship or regard as to what that person will think of me. At 6.30 in the morning, mind you. How out of the blue could I get?

It didnt help that my good mood increased because there was absolutely no traffic and I arrived at our meeting place at 6.55 am. Yeehaw!

However, as each minute passed and my 'customer' hadn't yet arrived, I started feeling a bit impatient. But I battled internally to keep my good cheer in check, and fortunately my good mood won. So she finally arrived after 20 minutes, and I handed over the goods and left.

On the way home, I was supposed to meet another friend who was coming over to our house to hang out. I actually wanted to rest but couldn't tell her directly and she couldn't take the hint. I desperately needed to do Immediate Priority #3!!!

Well to keep the long story short, I was too early for our initial meeting time of 8.30 am so I went home directly and she just followed a little after 9 am. I caught a short nap before she arrived and woke up when she gave me a ring, with all the good stuff I'd been thinking just an hour ago gone out the window...

Now, that's more like it. I then spent my Saturday like I would any other day.
