Calm down. Second try.
I woke up early today but I’m feeling edgy. I’ve been like this since last night and I don’t know why. The feeling was just suddenly there.
Still trying to calm down.
I ended up going out yesterday. My cousin picked me up around 3 pm and we went to his place because he needed help with an ad lay-out for his company. He owns an events management company which is doing quite well. He needed to submit an ad for the bridal fair he joined and he was having trouble with photoshop. I only did little but he gave me a thousand pesos and free dinner. I only asked for the free dinner but I guess he wanted to help me since he knows I have little money nowadays. He might give me regular graphics commission if I do the next project well. I’m not that good with graphic design so that’s really nice of him. We were supposed to have dinner in Greenhills but it was traffic there so we decided to go to Libis instead. We went to Cost-U-Less first since I’ve never been there and got curious when he talked about it. I think Cost-U-Less is supposed to be like Costco but it sucks. It’s just a gigantic grocery with not much imported goods and the prices aren’t that cheap. We headed for Eastwood City next and went to Cyber One since I was thinking of buying an iTrip for my iPod. It was more expensive there so I ended up not buying. It was already 7 pm so we decided to have dinner and chose Cafe Adriatico. He got Hainanese Chicken and I chose their Salpicao. I’m not a fan of Hainanese Chicken. I don’t see the point of eating chicken with no taste. The salpicao was quite good though. I love Salpicao especially if it’s garlicky. We also went to GoNuts Donuts after. My cousin is always raving about the donuts there. I’ve only tried it once but didn’t really like it that much but I bought 3 flavors. I bought two of each so I could share with my family. I tried the Pastillas de Leche last night and it’s good but I don’t know. Eating it made me feel guilty. It was very sweet and I could almost feel the calories. When I eat chocolate it’s a different matter though. I hardly feel guilty. After buying the donuts, we decided to call it a night.
Okay. Quite calm now.
My friend called me around noon yesterday. Let’s call her Mary for now. I texted her last Monday to ask how she was but never got a response. It’s getting to be irritating because she always does that. Anyway, she asked me how I was and I told her I’m fine. A bit of a lie because I’m not that fine. She asked if I already watched Pride (she gave me a copy of the series) and I told her I only watched up to episode 10. I didn’t tell her that I watched the Japan-TV release instead of her copy (it sucks) and we haven’t finished episode 11 yet. She asked if I liked it and I told her frankly that it was okay. That I think it’s “pa-cute” and that I prefer Long Vacation over it. She got annoyed because she thinks Pride is the best Takuya Kimura drama ever produced so she called me a loser for liking Long Vacation better. She said this jokingly but I still got annoyed. I’m an absolute fanatic of Long Vacation and it upsets me friends say bad things about it. Insane, right? But I don’t care. I think Long Vacation is the best Japanese drama ever. She was still going on about Pride so I told her that we have different tastes. I love Long Vacation, she loves Pride and just leave it like that. We stopped talking about doramas after that. She asked me if I had plans for the weekend and I said that Tina (name changed) was planning on celebrating her birthday but the plan never solidified. I told her to give Tina a call and kinda reprimanded her a bit for forgetting her birthday. Mary and I didn’t talk long since she was at work. I also didn’t feel like talking much since I was quite upset over the no response and the Pride vs. Long Vacation topic. I am such a loser.
Calmer.
The Neil Gaiman signing is coming up and I decided to go on the 11th at Gateway. I wanted to avoid the big crowd and I think there would be less people there. Sherwin and Adi will go to the signing tomorrow but I really hate crowds. More of a fear actually. But I am quite curious as to the fans who would turn up there. I bet there would be a lot of geeks. Sherwin and Adi are geeks but I say this affectionately. They’re loveable geeks. I found out that JB would go on the 11th too so I got in touch with him. So yay! I thought I would be alone but now I have someone to go with.
I have an appointment with my therapist tonight at 6 pm. The schedule really sucks but that’s the only slot left. Are there that many fucked up people in Manila? Makes me wonder why getting a schedule with him is always a pain.
Bah. I will copy this post in case it gets eaten up again. Stupid blog. My first attempt was better but there’s nothing I can do. No use crying over spilt milk.
