i'll just dive right into the stories ok,, i'm still too tired from everything that happened for the past few weeks. but i want to write about them, so here goes.

last week, i was so busy preparing for the final (dedication) night of the Holy Family Christian Life Program. i was tasked to do the dvd souvenir, and practices were also held at our place for the presentation of the new members under our group. my average sleep time was 4hours per night. i don't know why i took so much time with the dvd edit - am i that slow? or maybe it was because i also gave time for telebabad and chat hehe.. anyway, even as tired as i was, it was a very fun and fulfilling week for me.

saturday, i went to the Christ the King CLP, where they were doing Talk 5 & 6. i helped out with recording the session on dvd, assisted by hannah. most of the newly dedicated members in our group in Holy Family (tina, rian, myca) were also there to support the CLP. around 6 pm, i decided to come home to finally get some rest. the people at home said that there'd been a power outage. i didn't think it was a big deal, i was too tired to go wherever - i just wanted to lie down and sleep. but after about 5minutes of feeling the hot and humid air at home, i called up my friends to complain - i couldn't sleep! i couldn't breathe properly! parang ang arte na nga e, nakaramdam lang ng konting init, parang mamamatay na... after figuring out what i could do to get out of the heat, eyos and her boyfriend picked me up at 8:30pm to go and support the Our Lady of Lourdes CLP dedication. then we hung out at winnie's till 4am, with a wish that when we got home, it'd be cooler, presko.

sunday, i had a restless night to prepare me for my day. power was still out! we heard mass at 12pm, lugged some pillows and mats, and went to search for a place where we could relax and escape the oven that was our home. we ended up near sta. monica beach. the view was amazing! we could see the ocean below us, the sta. monica pier at our far left, with its famous ferris wheel and all the hustle and bustle of a leisurely sunday afternoon. i wasn't able to linger on enjoying the sights, coz i was in bad shape already - i wanted to sleep!!! thankfully, i was able to sleep for at least two hours. =) when we got home, wow, it was already getting ridiculous! still no power! and as if that wasn't bad enough, only our block remained that way in our area. we could see the lights from across the street while we pity ourselves in the dark! it turned out that the prolonged power outage didn't affect the whole city. but those affected might still experience this hell for forty eight hours or more!

so monday, the unemployed bunch at home (ate ja, june and i) thought of going to universal studios to take advantage of the cool zones there. i didn't get the chance to really rest, but atleast i enjoyed the tram ride, the eat-all-you-can for $20, and the cold AC at the shrek 4d show. by this time, i was already getting whiny and short tempered. but what can i do.. i just indulged myself by not getting concerned about the expenses, and drinking coke and cold cold water to keep me refreshed. i love coke during the summer! =)

sigh, tuesday still wasn't a good power day.. DWP (department of water & power) said that we MIGHT have the power back by wednesday early morning. so we just went to the mall, armed with chargers to replenish our phone batteries - i've been talking a lot on the phone during the past few days, for lack of other things to do. ate ja and i watched pirates of the carribean 2 while june stayed at Borders (bookstore) with our dad and grandma. yep, that't how hot it was - nobody could tolerate it any longer. then after the movie, we had dinner at the foodcourt. yumyum cinnabon! and surf city smoothie - the strawberry banana tasted like the one from coffee hubs (technoplaza one bldg at eastwood).

after dinner, myca, ate ja and i went to kat's place to just hang out for a bit. anything to stay out of our house hehe. when we got home at around 12mn, i still didn't sleep. i stayed on the phone for a few more hours, hoping that i'd still be awake by the time the power came on. by 4am, my phone battery went dead so i had no choice but to sleep. and wonder of all wonders, the power was back at around 5am!!! yahoo!!!!

so i slept the whole wednesday morning! =) it still wasn' t that good, maybe it's coz of the mess i did with my sleep time for more than two weeks already.. but still! yey yey yey!!! =) when i woke up in the afternoon, we started cleaning up here at home. but i couldn't resist staying online the whole time, reading my email and chatting. ;)

so there. i'm tired, but i feel good! why? haha, when you've been down, there's nowhere to go but up!! hopefully i can rest some more tonight. coz tomorrow, i'm going out for dinner and bowling. then on friday, we're leaving for a vegas weekend for an sfc activity. again, my jobhunt plans have been moved for another week. i hope that's not too bad.. it was supposed to be this week, but how could i plan on impressing prospective employers if i felt lousy? i'll just move along accordingly. come what may. =)
