There were no Mondays that I haven't heard the question, "How's the weekend? "
So how would I describe my weekend to them tomorrow...
Generally, it's quiet, boring and lonesome...
Friday nightI wanted to watch a movie so I emailed, texted and called all of my close friends but all of them were either busy working or lazy to go out on a cold rainy evening. So, I just worked my ass until 730pm in the office to kill time. I was thinking of watching a movie alone but it was raining heavily and, of course, I am not really fond of watching a movie alone especially on a Friday night so I just decided to go home.
I haven't had dinner when I went home, and since I don't buy any food anymore for the past few days because I was thinking that I am going home soon and don't want it to be just wasted and spoiled, I have no choice but to cook instant pancit canton (which, I think, are already past the expiry date, but I didnt care!) and fried eggs. What a nice Friday dinner!
Luckily, I have a DVD - The Wind that Shakes the Barley -which kept me sane on a lonesome Friday evening. I now clearly understand why most of the Irishmen loathe the British and now I hate the Brits as well! They are just like the Spaniards, Japanese and the Americans who conquered the Philippines and cause the suffering of a lot of Filipinos during those times. Great movie! It made my boring Friday night worthwhile. :)
SaturdayA text message woke me up and made me smile. It's just nice knowing that someone remembers you. ;)
My plan for today - clean my bedroom! I hoovered my whole floor, scrubbed my toilet, did the laundry and tidied my clothes. What an efficient Saturday! :)
I still wanted to go to cinema so I texted Karen if she wants to go but, unfortunately, she had a
date (hmmm I smell something!) that night so do I have an option??? I wanted to maximize my unlimited card before I go home and there are movies that I really want to see so I just watched two movies ALONE. Yes, TWO MOVIES ALONE! :( I watched Fred Claus and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Radford (whew! ang habang title naman!) . It's not bad at all watching in the cinema alone. Sometimes lang you can't react to a scene because you're sitting with strangers. Anyway, so I watched movies from 430pm until 930pm without any food so after the second movie I was so starving and I really had a bad headache. :( I was supposed to watch another movie with Abby but my head really ached so I just went home. Ate in Burger King in O'Connell, hopped on the first bus home, took Paracetamol, crawled under my duvet and went to sleep at 103opm on a Saturday night.
SundaySunday was usual. I attended mass, shopped in Grafton St and went home. Just spent the rest of the day organizing my clothes, my pasalubongs, packing my bags and watching videos on the net.
So that's my weekend! My last weekend in Dublin before I go home.
For the record, I don't feel lonely even I was alone the whole weekend. It's nice being alone sometimes. You can do what you want at your own time, own pace... and of course I am going home in a week so I won't be alone anymore. I might not have this kind of time for myself when I go home because as what Alvin said, "Ikakadena ka na ni mama sa kanya!haha (Your mom will chain you to herself!)"
