Many say that a person can find true happiness in solitude (I always use this line to comfort my unwillingly-single friends). If you can be content with your life on its own, not deriving your personal joy from another person or a particular thing or event, then indeed you are genuinely happy.
Riki had been out of the house the whole day on some family and business errands. I was still half-asleep and comfortably tucked in bed when he kissed me goodbye early this morning and left to meet my father-in-law. I don’t expect him to be back till late in the afternoon. But it’s ok. Tomorrow is our strict family day pa naman and besides, I have a long list of domestic tasks to do today. Laundry to take care of, my on-going clutter-cleaning project to attend to, pages of my travel and wedding scrapbook to finish, bills and other documents to file. So those will keep me busy till he comes back.
But alas, my chronic laziness kicks in once again. After getting out of bed three hours after hubby left, I just can’t get myself to start on my chores! I decided to just spend the whole morning watching (for the nth time!) my wedding DVD again. I even skipped breakfast because I was too indolent to prepare one. I just took my daily dose of Coke Light.
After a quick lunch at around two in the afternoon, what do you know, my languid bones are still in the house! So I totally dropped the idea and give up any hope that I can accomplish any household task today. Besides, I have been so stressed and tired from the past week’s activities, especially in the workplace, thus I told myself, I deserved this moment to just relax and chill. So I thought, hmmm…should I just go to the parlor and have my eyebrows trimmed? But dang! I am even too lazy to go out of the condo.
So I just decided to do next one of my favorite diversion at home. Look out from my lounge window, enjoy the great view outside and simply ponder on things. In the past, I complete this tranquil experience with a smoke (or two), but since I quit that habit already (in anticipation of motherhood in the near future…naks!) I simply sat there, stared at the horizon and let the cool afternoon breeze sweep my not-so-often-nakalugay na hair.
The sky is so brightly blue. What are those? Are they nimbus? Or cumulus? And those mountain ranges in the north? Hmmm… up to now I don’t know where exactly they are. Are there mountains in Montalban? And how am I sure that area far north is Montalban? There goes another plane. When and where kaya is my next out-of-town vacation? Which reminds me, I need to change my Mabuhay Miles name/status. So I can credit my Bohol trip last May. Do I have enough miles for a free trip na kaya? I have to add that in my to-do list. This window sill is dirty already. I need to remind Riki to clean it tomorrow. Yikes! I haven’t taken a bath pa pala. Enough of this!
I took a very long and refreshing shower. I felt so fresh afterwards. So what will I do next? The view is still great and the cool breeze inviting. So I grabbed my book and snuggled myself in the couch near the window. And hell yeah, never mind that I started my diet (again!) yesterday, this is such a wonderful moment, so I decided to treat myself to a cup of my favorite ice cream as well while doing my reading. And another glass of Coke Light of course.
And so I sat there, devoured my book till I realized the sun had set already. I looked out the window after the end of a chapter and I can’t see the northern mountain range anymore. The sunny view had been replaced by city lights already.
Riki will be coming home soon. I need to start preparing dinner. But wait! Let me just update my blog first while he is still out.
So here I am now typing away on my laptop, doing my blog offline. I cannot hook up yet to the Internet….I might end up calling Singkit for dinner. I will just upload this later before going to sleep.
Ok. Hubby is on his way home na raw. Emi out!
