…a brief glance…

I’m home early-ish! Yay!!! After such a weekend, I was sooo trashed at work the whole day. That’s what one gets when she opts for other things other than sleep! Though in saying that, I bare no regrets! Which is great in hindsight, cause I can tell you while I was trying to keep my head from falling to my chin while answering mundane questions, I thought sleep may have been a more sensible route!

Friday evening I had my chikas over, with the exception of Mer who was sick. After a horrendous journey home, with trains cancelling one after the other, I finally barely made it home to make dinner. By 8:30, Val, Ann, Jes and I were sitting down to dinner in my Mother’s precious formal dining room, candles lit for that extra ambiance. The four of us had a great time chatting, and laughing. It’s been awhile since we’ve had one of those sides hurting laughs, and this weekend was filled with them. So cool! Val, Vlad and I said our goodnights at like 3:30 in the morning.

Saturday I went bookcase shopping. I’ve been wanting to arrrange my room to my liking, and I needed a bookshelf and finally on Saturday my mother and I went to furniture store, one after another for like two hours till I found the perfect one. I love furniture shopping, but after the second hour they were all starting to look the same. So when I got home I began my mission….I literally ripped my room apart and just throwing away things. It was therapeutic. My highlights were being on Skype with Ashe and C, who certainly made my raking through my belongings more entertaining. Especially to them who heard me drop things on myself, trip over my belongings, and who knows what else. Conference call on Skype Rocks!

My cleaning lasted till the next day, due to the amount of breaks and distractions I had in between. I know, I know, my bad. I tried to take the odd nap here and there, but it just wasn’t sticking, till it was time to make my way to H. City (Waterloo). As I had told Ashe in one of our conversations on Saturday I was feeling a little challenged in the whole finding ‘HOME’, it just wasn’t sticking, no matter how many times I called to get details for a Connect Group, I just wasn’t getting anywhere which was beginning to frustrate me. The overthinker in me seriously began to question whether I really was meant to be there, or elsewhere, which was necessary. Soooo I made decision to check out the one in Waterloo. From the moment I walked in, it felt much better. More than anything, it felt homey. It reminded me so much of the chaos we had in the Mermaid and the Dominion. The foyer atmosphere felt soooo great, daunting but at least familiar. After shoving from my friends, I went to the Welcome Lounge to get ‘Connected’ and nobody was there, so I was like ‘Okay, I’m going to go now, I tried…’ and hight ail it out of there, and then while I was filling in my details for this guy, he introduced me to one of the Connect Group Hosts and she in turn introduced me to everyone that seemed to be around us….alas I have my very first Connect Group tomorrow. It’s a social night, so it’s less daunting…yeah right! It’s smack bang in the city so it’s easy for me to get to. Secondly no driving is involved so regardless how tired and sleepy I am, it doesn’t matter because I am not driving. Yay! Praise God! Then today, just to mess with me, I finally get a call about Connect Group for the Hills, but aside from already making plans to go to the one in QVB Town Hall, I won’t make it in time and back again if I have to go all that way. So there you go… Waterloo reminded me so much of London, than it felt like I walked into a security blanket. I also ran into Jen Lee who I met through some friends back in London, we hugged but both had to go, but I shall be seeing her around there, as I have decided to go there from now on. Equal effort and distance to get to, so why not. It was sooo nice to see a familiar face. I met a really nice South African chick, which of course made me miss a good portion of my buddies! =) Got invited to someone’s birthday, it was crazy. Hence, it felt like London.

My friends and I also had a great time hanging out before going to church. We had some serious laughs….unfortunately at Ann’s expense as a result of her MISHAPS all day! Regent’s Park Hotel will never be the same again for you will it? For any of us for that matter. Mutch, you’re a crack up! I love hanging out with you!

This week shall be interesting, starting with tomorrow’s thing. Saturday I have plans with one of my old workmates Mel, who I just found out was preggers! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Was thinking of dragging John along too…mental note to self, call John back as promised a week ago! My bad! Ummm, after lunch with Mel I was thinking of heading straight to Waterloo for the 5pm service. Thank you Mom for your car! =)

Sunday we have tentative dinner plans with my Godmother again before she flies back to the Phils.

Anyways, that’s it for me for now… going to crash early. Hope all is well with everyone. Muchos Hugs!
