Haaay... Happy Weekend

This could be the first restful (or should i say tranquil?) weekend i had for a looong time now. No working for me!

Heard mass in the morning, went to a party for lunch (where I saw old work mates and even talked to a family friend i don't usually speak with), had a massage at Sawadee (the massage was called a something-Tranquil Massage), and had junk food binge while watching TV at home.

Aaah, this is the life!

Avenue Q

I just listened to my Avenue Q CD and I’m feeling a little better now. The first time I heard it, I totally was able to relate to it. The songs are funny because they depict reality—like ‘Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist’ and ‘Schadenfreude’.

Also, Princeton’s search for his purpose mirrors mine and I guess everyone else’s search for theirs.

But my favorite song would be ‘I Wish I Could Go Back To College’, because it just about describes my longing to go back to those most wonderful 4 years of my life. Oh well.

Stressed Out

I don’t think I’ve ever been stressed out than I am right now. I’m feeling really grumpy and annoyed and I don’t like it. Maybe you would to if you’ve been working for 13 days straight now.

I need to have some stress reliever.

Fast.

Surprises

I just got 2 messages today that made me smile. The first one’s from a friend who’s out of the country. The other one’s from a cousin who lives in the US and whom I don’t get to communicate with often.

Thanks to friendster.

Pet peeves

Maybe it’s the PMS talking but I just realized lots of things irritate me (shocker!.. right)

traffic. doesn’t matter if it’s light, moderate or heavy, I just hate it. Shooting the old blood pressure right up the meter.
sloooow drivers. I mean, why can’t people be more considerate of the people behind them and move a little faster?! I’m not saying they should race or something, but just keep the space between them and the car before them at a 1-car minimum
erase the 2nd item and make that slow people in general. Slow speakers, slow walkers, slow thinkers… anyone slow.
crowds. Eek. Just the thought of being squished by sweaty and smells-like-i-don’t-know-what strangers gives me the creeps.
people who are late. I don’t want making people wait so I don’t want to be made to wait either.
unpleasant surprises. Just your ordinary this-is-not-according-to-what-i-planned things. Things that could have been avoided but weren’t. so frustrating.

There’s more but I’ll stop at number 6. just realized almost everything irritates me. I’m such a grump. No wonder I’m so stressed out.
