Same same weekend

14Sep08

So this weekend was nothing different– I had my usual routine of swimming-mall-home-mall-mass-mall the entire 2 days. Hahaha. I had my last swimming lesson on Saturday, so now I can officially swim, yay! :) I won’t be scared of falling in the middle of the ocean na next time I get on a banana boat :P I find swimming interesting ah, I think in the future I might take advanced lessons, or even maybe get a diving license! I’m taking that from John Rae who got his diving license in Denmark, then his advanced open water diving license in Egypt. Oha! Doesn’t really matter to me where I get it but it’s something I will look into…

Anyway after the lesson I went to Gmall to check the status of my application for a Sun line. Apparently they still needed my payslip even if I already submitted my ITR and 2 competitor bills. Hellllooooo, I’m just applying for the 350 plan no! It’s not like I can’t pay for it, bayaran ko pa yung buong 2 years eh! It’s annoying that Sun Cellular takes particularly long to approve an application. Anyhoo after that I bought a pair of shoes (on sale!), and a bunch of junk food to eat at home.

And so I went home, then left again at 5pm to have my hair dye applied. The color isn’t too light but at least it lightened up my face a bit which is fine. I’m not really aiming to get those super visible, obvious hair colors that people will refer to you as “the girl with the colored hair…” Haha! Then I went to SM to find a pair of shorts since I only have one pair, and I’m particularly fond of wearing shorts nowadays since no one to dress up for anyway :P– so I was lucky to have spotted a perfect pair on sale again at Maldita! Heehee. The weekends are getting to be particularly boring especially when all I can do is leave the house then go shopping and blast my money! Good thing I had swimming lessons to take at least half the day the past weeks, but for the next weeks I have to find something else to do. The long awaited DJ lessons maybe?

Today naman I spent the entire morning and afternoon downloading the new songs based on iTunes. I always keep myself updated of the newest songs based on iTunes or Billboard, so you can find any Top 40 song on my playlist! Haha. I went to mass at 6pm then went to Gmall again to have my glasses repaired and to buy wet tissues. Now it’s 9:30pm and I’m home na. Time is so slow here in Davao!!!

Anyhoo I’m also starting to get the hang of downloading full albums nowadays. I downloaded the following albums today:

Shwayze by Shwayze. A rap-ish album from 22 year old rapper Shwayze. His music sounds a bit like Pharrell Williams, with light, floating beats. I really really love Buzzin’ (my fave song for the moment)! A great CD for hanging out at the beach!

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things by Jason Mraz. Jason Mraz is back with a new album! I haven’t had the chance to listen to the previous ones after Waiting For My Rocket To Come, but I really really like this album than his first one! Jason Mraz’s cool, soothing voice is really nice to listen to, coupled with his light, upbeat songs. Great for listening in bed. Haha. I especially love his duet with Colbie Caillat, Lucky.

The Block by New Kids on the Block. Believe it or not I’m not familiar with any of the NKOTB songs from the 90’s… the first boy bands I was aware of were already Boyzone, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, who were apparently followers of the NKOTB boyband phenomenon! Anyway I listened to this album, and in fairness the songs are cool– Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre’s voices give that distinct smooth, sexy, R&B-ish sound to the album. Plus the artists they’ve worked with in this album are quite notable– Ne-Yo, The Pussycat Dolls, and Lady GaGa among many others!

Right now still on my downloading queue in LimeWire are the 2 Jonas Brothers albums (Jonas Brothers and A Little Bit Longer) and the soundtrack of Camp Rock. Yeah I did watch it and I found it cute naman! Though the acting was really bad the songs are catchy anyway, especially This Is Me– there’s even a local version of it na nga eh! But anyway I’ll post the mini-reviews soon!

==========

Time really passes by fast… I remember I was counting down since 34 days until September 20th. Now it’s down to 6 days, grabe! It’s just like Christmas where the thrill is in the waiting but once it actually comes then it doesn’t feel any different. I was at mass kanina and I was laughing and cringing by myself thinking of possible scenarios of what can take place this coming weekend. Then suddenly I felt the butterflies in my stomach. I’m both excited and scared, especially during the first meeting at the airport!

… Then there’s an Ateneo-La Salle game pala on Sunday. I hope Ateneo wins and that way I’ll have 2 free dinners, one from the previous game and the other one for Sunday’s game!
