The New Weekdays

My new weekdays are family-centered, I have time for my aunt yeyey whose eyebrows I expertly trimmed on a Monday morning, my mom who I enjoy having lunch with and we decipher what to cook for dinner daily - i love to cook just like her.

On the same Monday (the day I used to dread the most), I had 77 photos of our travel printed, went with Yeyey to get her hair cut, watched Madagascar 2 with Azrael, and enjoyed a Japanese dinner at home prepared by Mama. I also have time to prettify my little sister Liza but failed to help her with the report x.x

Liza is learning to appreciate wine and we had fun one night exploring our mini bar.

Today, I picked up a new watch for myself, went to the dermatologist, enjoyed snacks at McDonald's in the afternoon, ran like crazy from the rain with Azrael, and now I am blogging at 1 in the morning while eating Zitti. Tomorrow I'll be taking care of our Christmas giveaways and I should start searching for a wall clock for the shop and Lolo's house.

I can do everything at my own pace, relaxed, at home and with the people I love most.

I am thankful.

Get yourself Busy Relaxing

It's Saturday and a long weekend, everybody deserves the rest. I especially think I need this although I wouldn't mind earning more money :) T'was a good week except for some bits that come with the roles I play. So what are we waiting for? Let's get rolling to relaxation island and you don't have to splurge to get some "ommmm" moments.

1. Buy a Face Mask - buying and choosing masks at Watson's is already calming as it is. Plop the wet mask on your face, dim the lights and put your legs up. Your laptop has got to to get some zzz's to, so just close it but keep the iTunes playing instrumental spa-ish music. This should be done for 15-30 minutes.

2. A Leg Scrub - if you're ultra-busy, you've been walking miles around desks and workstations, back and forth. so definitely, those corporate legs need some lovin'. Go to the nearest salons and ask for a leg scrub, this is good because you get the massaging effect while the attendants scrub your legs. You'll come out both relaxed and Ms. Sexy Shiny legs.

3. Hair Spa - If you are like me, your everyday hairdo is a ponytail at the back of your head and when it's crunch time, you twist it in a bun and you can hear the silent scream of your hair as they get tangled with each other. Before our hair leaves us for being such a criminal, go for a cheap hair spa and you also get the head massage plus shampoo. Hopefully when the workday comes, your genius is not showing through your Einstein-ish hair but in your confident and renewed outputs.

4. Good sleep - get it in the afternoon, in the evening, or in the morning - you're the boss this weekend. Cover up your eyes with a blindfold to simulate night time and have an undisrupted calming zzz's.

5. Watch a Movie - I went to see Shutter last night with a girl friend and Az and horror movies are much relaxing because your worries and pet peeves are shaken off by those asian ghosts. If you have the guts to scream, better!

That's just some things to keep you busy relaxing. It will pay off when the work week comes as you come in invigorated, fresh, and confident to take on any blunders and even success.
