it is a long weekend here in our place. friday was declared a province-wide holiday for the annual festival. i was exempted from the holiday. i still had work to submit but i had to drive the folks and the kiddies to watch the street parade. apparently, they do that every year. i was travelling with the bf last year so i didn't get to watch. now, it's my brother who's travelling, i had no choice but to go with them. anyway, i thought it was a complete waste of my time (sorry!) it started late, which is the norm-us being Filipinos after all. then the people crowded the streets giving very little space for the dancers.
saturday was another work day. ugh! i was looking forward to just relaxing but it wasn't meant to be. it would have been fine if my nephew wasn't around. his parents had a wedding to attend to and my folks were going out. that left me with two kids and two yayas. i was still finishing work at around 8pm since i started working late in the afternoon already. by the time i was doing the editing, i let my baby's yaya rest and took over. but you cannot expect peace when you show a computer to two toddlers. i took me almost an hour to edit and submit my work. by then, the baby was irritated and wanting to sleep. however, my nephew was not. he wanted to stay in our bedroom and play. he was always crying and was always hitting his yaya. i was getting fed up with him. i was already exhausted and he exacerbated it.
today, i woke early because the baby woke me up. it would have been fine until my nephew woke up and began his temper tantrums. i got so tired of his crap, i just stood up and left. i drove to the beach and let the sea breeze and the waves calm me down. i was able to catch the break i needed. when i got home, my nephew was still there but i didn't mind him or the baby. i took a shower instead and worked on a part-time task due tomorrow.
now, the nephew has gone home, the folks are out and the baby is asleep. since it's sunday, the bf is at his father's house (his mom ran away-i'll you why in a different post) to placate and console him. this is how i want my life to be. it doesn't matter if i don't go to exotic places and do exciting things. i am happier being alone anyway, doing absolutely nothing. = )
