All in a Week's Work

Last night I attended a Pilates class for the first time. And boy, did I underestimate its complexities. I mean, I thought it would just be a breeze…you know, how easy can stretching be after all? Apparently, not that easy. Good thing the instructor was a bit cute (but, of course, gay). Hihi. Until now, I can still hear him say, “We move only when we exhale,” or “Follow the line of your body,” or “We go down one vertebrae at a time.” That last one was a deal breaker. How in the world do you control going down (meaning, to go back to one’s lying position on the mat) one vertebrae at a time???!!! And all throughout the workout, I was thinking, “Sweet Lord, I hope I’m not worsening my scoliosis.” Oh, and there were more, “Squeeze your thighs, squeeze your legs, contract your abs, and lift your butts” as we progressed. Oh dear. It was fun though. Who knows, I might just be a regular.

So that was Friday. Thursday was a blur. Yep, if I’m correct, I did absolutely nothing on Thursday. Wednesday was a drag because I got sick. I woke up early to vomit what seemed to me like the remnants of the duck my boyfriend and I ate at Chinese Monk in Power Plant. That was at 4:15am of Wednesday. So I went to work, didn’t feel better so I spent the afternoon lying in our clinic asleep. The weird thing was, I never thought that a clinic can be so noisy! Every now and then, people would come in heavy with laughter and chit chats. What the…? Around 4:20pm, people were already packing up to go home and I got a bit anxious. You see, Dione had the unfortunate experience of being locked in right inside the clinic. Can you imagine? They actually forget they have patients inside. Hihi. And I was not about to be spared, since nobody even bothered to check up on me. Heck, when I finally decided to get out of bed at around 4:45pm, I was almost certain that the doctor thought to herself, “Where in the world did this disheveled girl come from?!” And since I was still feeling under the weather, my boyfriend decided to come fetch me at work (for the first time.) However, I doubt that there’ll be a second time as he was caught for a traffic violation and we were stuck in traffic going home. Oh well, all in a day’s work, I guess.

Monday and Tuesday, we were at the Tower for our Investments immersion. I like it there in the Tower, although in UN, the atmosphere’s really homey. Nothing much to say about our immersion although it was great to have Mr. Grau talk to us. He’s like a big grandpa you’d want to have, what with his compassionate heart. Awww…

That was my week, I guess. Pretty boring, I’d say. The next will be an even more boring one, perhaps.

Oh, and may I just add, my Tita’s pregnant! I love it! We’re still keeping it a secret from my mom, though. I can’t wait for August!
