A Productive Day (outside work)

Today I woke up thinking whether or not I should go home to Bulacan.  The sun is already up despite the warnings that it's signal number 2 in Manila (God bless the people in Visayas who are greatly affected by the storm) .  Actually, ang iniisip ko lang kanina is san ako makakapagwork but at the same time mapapahinga din ako.  Then my best friend, Malen asked me if I wanted to go with her to pick-up her dress and also find winter clothes.  I know I have some reports needed to be done but I said "yes, para may magawa naman akong iba aside from work".  Sabi nia, "yun din dapat sasabahin ko".  Yes, yes, my best friend knows me so well.  She even said she didn't talk to me the other night because super halata na I'm really tired, magsusungit lang daw ako.  Thankfully, we know each other too well to make tantsa of those kinds of moments.

We went to the couturier but unfortunately, the dress didn't fit her well so we were not able to take home the dress because they still need to make some adjustments.  This is really sad because this is probably the nth time that Malen went there thinking na super ok na ung dress.  Anyway, mas sayang naman if she just settle for less. 

We went to Cartimar afterwards to look for a store named "Winterhouse".  But before finding "winterhouse", we have to look for Cartimar first.  We both didn't know how to get there.  All I know is it is some place in Manila where you can buy shoes.  So we just went to LRT Buendia then asked the guard there if we still need to ride the LRT but thankfully there's a jeep na from there to Cartimar.  True enough, when we got there super daming shoes.  Malen said its mga Class A daw.  We found "winterhouse", its not malamig but they really have a variety of winter clothes.  Malen was able to buy a lot like 2 jackets, 2 gloves, 2 bonnets and a scarf.  Super good deal na for the price that she paid. 

We ate at Glorietta and passed by Payless to checkout some boots.  This may be Malen's lucky day because we found a really nice boots to go with the clothes she bought.  Buti na lang we didn't buy the one in Winterhouse kasi mas cheap and mas stylish ung nasa Payless.  Another good deal.

After fixing my clothes sa condo, I went outside again to get my nails done.  I tried the newly opened Posh nails near the condo.  I love the purple and pink theme of the place, super girly and relaxing.  I was also surprised to find out that Posh nails is much cheaper pa than Nail It in Glorietta.  I'm super happy that I have nice nails again. 

 

Then to make my day more productive, I cooked some veggies for my dinner.  I seldom cook but buttered veggies are among my favorite dishes that I can actually cook.  Super simple lang but I really like it especially the broccoli and cauliflowers. 

Super proud of myself because the only thing I did for work today is to send 2 text message to answer my team's question about a report. 

A day without pressure from work is just what I badly needed to recharge myself for the coming weeks.  =)
