time in my hands

come june 18, i will be on my 17th year of tenure at the office.

seventeen years... my, that's 6,205 days and i hadn't counted on staying that long. it was not my first job, it was actually my third. i took it as a temp till i found something better--a better job, something better to do with myself, something better to do with my time... apparently i had nothing better to do... hah!

last month i advised my boss that i am planning to take a vacation.
yes, after seventeen years, i am finally taking a vacation. i said there are things i have to attend to, which is true, but there were other stuff, too which i didn't say. i didn't have to mention that sometimes things can get so monotonously boring and unfruitful you'd have to find something else to do to keep your spirit alive and sustain your interest. i do not know how long i intend to keep on vacationing. it could be three months at the least, or it could take forever. but i already have a list of things i will do:
  1. put up that business that had been prancing in my mind for the last three years (!)
  2. take a week or two vacationing in the northern parts with my husband and of course, baby ayel
  3. ride, ride & ride my bike till i fit comfortably in my clothes again
  4. take pictures... lots of them
  5. play the keyboard till i am at ease again
  6. tidy the house till everything is in place
  7. read those books i bought last year
  8. get on with the repair works for the property i am overseeing
  9. learn soap & candle making (making it the right way, i mean)
  10. walk along the promenade and sit by the benches at the bay watching the sunset
seems to me i will soon be into a lot of fun...

Bakit hindi mo ma-type ang "vagina?" =)

Actually, I haven't, though I hear it's really good. =)

baka kasi ma-flag as offensive, hehehe... though talaga namang title ng book yun. mas cute pakinggan--"v-monologues". pwede ring "p-monologues"...
