"When people are happy, they smile, but when they are sad, they look depressed. "

I don't know but I was a bit cheerful when I woke up this afternoon. I was enjoying my hot cup of coffee and my pan de sal. What's with the combo? No, it's not my breakfast. I was preparing to go to work. And these are the last things I take before taking off. Anyway, I ws already done bathing and clothing myself when that Monday sickness got me. I'm not feeling really well because of the very hot weather.
I watched a bit of the news just to forget that I am not well. But that didn't help. So, I went to my room and fixed my things. I played my cd player, checked my money, read a verse from the Bible, got my rosary, put on my lip balm, sprayed perfume on my shirt and sat on my stacked pillows. Then, looked at my small mirror afterwards. I was staring at myself for like 10 minutes. I looked so pale and bored. Then, I just told myself that tonight would be a nice shift for me. I was trying and trying and trying to make myself feel better. Unfortunately, I was not that successful. I think I spent 30 mintues sitting on my pillows alone.
Getting a ride tonight was hard. All the fx taxis were packed. I was waiting by the sidewalk for past 20 mintues. Then, a bus came. But I have to stand til I get to my destination because every seat was already occupied. I was just standing and staring at the tv screen. I didn't even bother who's in front of me, behind me, the one seated to my left and right. I was just blank. My mind was somewhere else.
In the MRT, I was the same. I usually offer a seat to someone if the train is full. But last night, I was motionless. I was just seated and not bothered by the presence of whoever.
Got my dinner from one of the food stalls at the MRT station. Ate that food when I reached the office. And damn! I was just eating without tasting. The tenderloin tips were so-so. But the carrots and beans looked like they have been kept in a refigerator for weeks until they reach their proper time to be served.
After eating, I tried myself to fall asleep. Unluckily, I was still annoyed by some people snoring loudly inside the room. I was trying my very best to postion myself in bed like the way I lie on my own bed at home. But my I began to feel sleepy at past 11 pm. My shift is at 12, by the way.
Right now, I'm still about to finish my shift. Almost 3 and a half hours to go and I am going home.
I think the only two things that thrilled me tonight was the plans of us going to Boracay sometime the next quarter and also making this post. I was laughing hard while reading the email trail from my friends about the plans and the schedules. When i twas my time to reply to all, I made mine a bit longer and I attached five pictures of the island. Why? So, that there would be no reason to cancel it. We are all very excited.
And one more thing, I just read the newspaper I got before riding the train. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are together. Yes. You read it right. As a matter of fact, they were together in Italy last Wednesday according to the write up. I just hope they didn;t have sex. Katie has been my longtime crush eversince Dawson's Creek started. I even made her my bride when we were asked to prepare a project during college about planning our own wedding. And when I hoped on Mitch 's blog, I read the same news about them. Katie's 26 while Tom is 42. I hope everything's real between them.
That's about it.
I hope to be sunny today.
