Life is still good...despite the hell week.
Wasn't able to post cause I've been spending more hours in the office. I'm not overdoing it though, it's just a bit of a stretch this week with all the projects and deliverables. It's been crazy lately.
Day 35 - Tuesday I was able to finish The Bridges of Madison County and that is one of the best love stories I've read to date. I love it. It's simple, raw but very intense. It's a perfect love story and I wish everyone has a chance to feel that. It's also this day that I started to read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, which reviews say is one of the most notable love stories ever.
Day 36 - Wednesday - The start of the extended work hour. I got home so late and so tired that I prepared myself to eat leftover crappy food, but my father dear was able to bring home succulent bite size sandwiches from Cafe France, a favorite of mine. It was like seeing a goldmine. It made my day so much better.
Day 37 - Thursday - Passed by Starbuck's drive thru on the way to work and the barista blew me away!
Me: hi grande asian dolce latte, hot. And a honey bagel. Uhm....pwedeng pa spread na ng butter?
Barista: sure.
At the pick up window.
Barista: hi ma'am here's your coffee and here's your bagel. Na spread na po yung butter on both sides and toasted it narin po to perfection. And here's an extra napkin. Have a safe drive and breakfast to work!
Wow. In fairness he thought ill be eating it while driving, but still. That is good customer service
I'm so lucky to be able to go to Starbucks and interact with these kinds of people. Gives me so much inspiration.

Day 38 - Friday - The significant other and I got to talk. We had our simple date since both of us got busy and uncooperative. We shared a good meal, we went to his favorite bar and had a drink each and ended it with sugar free coffee. And I also embarrassed myself in front of my big boss when I walked like a psycho wanting to stab someone. We both had a good laugh. That was really embarrassing and funny. I was just glad that it's a weekend!
Day 39 - Saturday - Weekend. My brother and I got to relax and watched American Hustle. Jennifer Lawrence was good and annoyed us to pieces. Amy Adams was vulnerable and complicated while Christian Bale was sleazy, fat, but very convincing. Also I got to eat sushi for merienda, Brida's rainbow cake for dessert and took home Costa Brava's caramel cake. I can just lounge all day.
The other book reviews to be posted next week. I left it in my office's hard drive. For now, I've got to relax and not do anything!
