Last Week’s Highs
Finally, I get to post!! I can’t believe how busy I have been. Either that or I’m just a slow poke (the hassles of being semi dyslexic!! – slow reader, slow writer, slow worker, bad with numbers, and easily distracted = busy)
In our busy crazy lives, it can be quite easy to forget to stop and smell the flowers along the way. That’s for me at least. I have the tendency to get quite consumed by what i do. I can quite intense though I just don’t show it (or do i?). The intensity is fed by a desire to reach certain goals (especially the goals that I have now… you have no idea how much i want to make them happen).
When something has that tight a grip on me, I find it hard to relax and and to chill until I get to fulfill whatever it is I have to fulfill. And right now, there are a couple of things I’m pretty bent on making happen. Maybe when I get to fulfill at least the most major one, I can relax a little more. Very unhealthy, I know. That is why i treasure the moments where I to snap out of it, albeit briefly, and i stop to appreciate the little things around.
And this is what this post is about. The little highs I had this week.
1) Thursday’s Blue Skies
I love the rain. I makes me happy. But when it pours day in day out for a couple of days straight, the weather can really rain down mood. Specially if you are like me who takes public transport which involves a lot of walking, the rain really dampens things. The hassle, the irritation, the human traffic, the stuff I have to carry, plus the rain…. you’ll be cursing your way through.
Then Thursday came. It rained a little the morning but by the time I got out of the house, it stopped. On my way to work, it was slightly overcast and the breeze was nice and cool. When I got to Bonifacio Global City, the sun was beginning to come out and the air felt so clean. There was a lot of blue peering through the clouds. I couldn’t resist bring out my camera to take snap shots of this week’s little piece of peace.
I didn’t feel like stepping into the office just yet so I decided to walk around a little more. Who would want to be indoors during a morning like this? That’s what a lot of us miss when we’re in a rush in the morning to get to work…
I love how pretty Bonifacio Global City is.
2) Random Stuff in the office.
After having my fill of the morning, i enter the office I spot a newspaper from last week. Out of curiosity, i skimmed through the articles and I found this particularly funny…
HAHAHA!
I couldn’t get over this one. I just had to take a picture of it. I found it totally “punny”.
Next up… the boys’ (Carlos, Judd) Dingdong Dantes fantasy. Oh yeah… you’d think they’d search pictures of some hot chick but guess what they were looking up on last Friday..
Dreaming of Dingdong Dantes.
(Ok, I think they were actually researching for a picture of Dingdong to add to Judd’s proposal presentation)
3) Thursday laughs at SPIT night at Magnet Highstreet.
SPIT is short for -Silly People’s Improv Theater!! Think of “Who’s Line is It Anyway?” and that’s basically what SPIT does.
It ALMOST didn’t push through but thank god it did. I needed to unwind big time. I went with Thea and her two friends. We had some pre-spit chitchat, dinner, and of course, my Magnet staple, below zero beer. Mmmm. It ain’t a complete night at Magnet without the below zero beer. It so cold that the bottle is served covered with frost. Once you have some below zero, anything warmer just doesn’t make the cut.
SPIT night is always fun. Its your mid-week RX to stress. Laughs + good compay + good food + subzero beer = you’ll never go wrong.
Hilarious as it is, there were times though where I found myself sayin’ “huh?” but because the SPIT peeps are so candid, you’ll laugh anyway. You gotta hand it to them. To make improve comedy work, you gotta think fast and you gotta be witty.
If only it was easy to get home from High Street, I’d be at SPIT every Thursday night.
Thea and her lovlies. My below zero beer.
And because I wasn’t able to take pics of SPIT, I stole some pictures from Judd.
Here’s to simple highs.
