Sunday Grabeh Sunday

I woke up to the lovely smell of ... floor wax.

Yup, the cleaning girl was there already, and it took me aboout 5 minutes to realize that yes, it was a sunday, and yes, it was already lunch time. *sigh* not exactly my happiest of days, but i was due for a face painting gig at 3pm at the UP theatre ( a kid's party). It was an hour's work (easy money? perhaps...) so i got ready at around 1 and managed to walk all the way to UP from the house with 15 mins to spare. The reception was kinda weird (nobody knew who i was, and the person who got me for the job was nowhere to be found) and most of the parents were sorta mean.

*sigh*

Never really liked that part of the job, y'know. Dealing with kids is a lot easier because they tend to me less black and white and more forgiving. Parents on the other hand, tend to seek perfection, especially for their kids. I was really surprised how competetive parents are (let's just say i encountered my share of parental envy and hate while i was there). The sad thing about it was, they paid me only for an hour and the kids were A LOT. I had to cut out part of the list and there was this little kid who cried to me, asking for one more. Awww. This is the worst thing i hate about the job, having to say no to a kid. :-(

I left after an hour and 10 mins, not even partaking any of the party food. Walked around the oval to cool my head (it was steamed from all the parent yabbers) and went to Katipunan to return some overdue dvds. Had coffee at Starbucks with Jason and met Clang by accident there. I guess even on sundays he had meetings :-) He was there with most of the Black Book Peeps, and i'm thinking they may be bringin the old team back. Hmmm...

Left for home to freshen up and left for Eastwood after a while. I checked out the store and did some window shopping (it was the last day of the weekend sale) and met up with Joey for dinner. We had age-tofu and some maki at Ebisu, all the while dishing out on the fashion victims who were passing by. It was nice of him to hang out with me while i did some more work, although after some time i decided to call it a night.

Had a cuppa coffee at Seattle's with Jason (again--- yup he was bored out of his skull and i was ready for another cup of coffee), and we pretty much talked about a lotta things, like Transformers and comic books. Guys! I can't figure them out. Apparently Jason can't get over the fact that i too was a gamer and read comic books. *sigh* the many facets of lette! Bwahahaha! We decided to burn the midnight oil by watching Zoolander and chillin' at his place. On the way there i got to see Denise (of all places!!). Talk about coincidences!!! God, she's leaving the next day for Australia! Man, the only time i got to see her was the first saturday she arrived and then that's it! It was soo good to see her again, and i was kinda sad that we never got to spend much time together...ey Gurl! I'll miss you! Tc and give 'em hell in Australia!!!! :-D
