I have to adjust my sleeping and waking time now in preparation for Wednesday. Am I overacting or just being paranoid? I wouldn't say I am. You see, I am used to waking up around noontime and sleeping around 2 or 3AM (sometimes 5) for the past months since I left the corporate world in November last year. Last night (technically it was morning already as I came home from my usual dinner with the E!s), I tried to hit the sack early-- meaning without turning on GreenApple and going online, set my alarm at 9am to at least have 4 or 5 hours of sleep. I heard the alarm. I snoozed for another 2 hours. If not for BS' and JS' message I might have snoozed some more.

The fam is going to the World Trade Center (Roxas Blvd) for the Manila International Auto Show and they're asking me if I want to come along. That made me jump from the sack. One: I have nothing to do today; Two: I have nothing decent to eat in my apartment as I am home alone (my landlady is in Bicol and D is in Zambales for the 3-day weekend, Zoey, their dog, is in Sta. Mesa-- as if she could feed me or buy some food for me, huh? LOL!); Three: I love car shows; Four: I enjoy the company of this family, Five: I need to buy some more kalamansi for my morning routine, hence, I need to go out. 

So up and out I went, to have fun.

The auto show was pretty amusing (tried a seat massager at one booth, as if I was buying... uhhh... it's worth Php13T++... it was relaxing anyhow), then had 2 scoops of gelato before leaving the center, dropped by the Shrine of Jesus (the Way, the Truth, and the Life) church near MOA, watched Shutter at Glorietta 4, bought some groceries at Landmark, and had dinner at Ineng's Special BBQ (tried their fishda BBQ), said goodbye to the fam (thank you guys, I had so much fun), dropped by my Big Brother's House in Greenbelt (this time, the place is peaceful), then did some 30-min-walk home-- I'm faster this time. I did not realize it's Sunday until I walked on some streets that were not well-lit (where are the people?! Ooppss... again, it's Sunday). Anyhow, I came home safe and feeling good for the burnt calories (one goal: save up and enroll in a gym again).

I want to talk some more and work a little tonight but I am afraid I have to control myself from now on. I have to learn how to manage my time right this time. I wonder how other people do it.

Goodnight. I'll try to be up early again tomorrow. This time I am setting my alarm at 7am.
