Good thing, my boss accepted my leave application because a good friend of mine from Singapore came home and wanted to see the rest of us here. The invite is going to be on the same date as the Brigada Eskwela, but it is set as a dinner rendezvous. I agreed though, since majority of my friends are free and my sked is also free it's just that, I have almost 6 hrs of waiting time.
Came friday, I already have activities in mind to kill the time, and it was made of delivering a race kit, swimming and running. I started early by coming on time on the Brigada eskwela meetup (which was strange but I seriously wanted to be there on time, I don't wanna be left behind) place which was located just outside our HO building. Then, I took breakfast at a nearby fastfood chain then went to alight the van assigned to go to the area.
This was pretty much easy, because I signed up for the book covering task. I did not want to get my hands dirty nor have paint on it and this is one of the things I'd normally do to destress myself. So the half day task wasn't much of a muscle mover to me, the day was just too darn hot but it was okay. I was able to enjoy this day doing the thing I loved doing for the school that someday maybe my cousin's, Arcelyn's, high school.

Then, after eating our snacks and slightly cleaning up the area, we went back to HO. I was so bloated, there were too much free meals/snacks AND I had my own big breakfast as well. So, I thought that my next activity was to burn some of the calories. Since I was not able to submit the documents at the offce because it was still lunch time, I thought of utilizing our office gym.
In the morning, my plan was to swim first then run around BGC (Bonifacio Global City) but then this idea came due to the things I need to do first at the office. I thanked myself for this idea, since this idea will save me more time AND for sure, there will be no people inside the gym (since they're all working *enter evil laugh*) so I can use the other equipment other than the treadmill (because I'm shy, I don't wanna be associated with other equipment other than the treadmill lol). So I ran 10k then, used some leg and arms equipment for target training, plain happy training day at home except that I am doing this at the office. I am happy because this will save me time for the week, I can focus on prenup and therapy on saturday. After, I have submitted my documents, I freshened up and went to my next venue.

I promised a friend I will be giving him his race kit that i registered for this big run race on June. Since, I am up for a little travelling, I went to his office to personally hand him his kit. This was entirely bonkers but I love being at different places at a time so, I came. When I went, the RCBC lobby already amazed me, the building was full of steel designs. I thought I was never going to marvel inside the building itself, until my friend came and showed me around.
I did not expect that he will tour me around and buy me a drink. It was really fun, I admit, I am an architecture and interior art fan and this building was definitely a stunner. It had offices at a different building then it had stores on the other, then there's also a little chapel and a museum. The interiors are carefully made and it suited what its purpose needed to be.

I am so thankful that he asked me to go around, the free drink for me was just an additional bonus. I made again the right decision of going there. So, after everything, I bade him goodbye then went off to my next destination, to MASA or Makati Aquatic Sports Arena to swim.
While waiting, I saw that there were already jeepneys outside of the building going to Guadalupe (there were jeepneys going to MASA from here). So I rode one, and since it was friday, traffic was inevitable. I forgot about traffic, my plan was to meet one of my friends at Ayala station on 530pm so that we can go together at BGC but before that i have to swim first. The traffic made me think of cancelling my plan to swim since it was impossible to swim and make it on time. Before making the final decision, I thought of sending a text message to my friend and ask where my she was, good thing she told me that she was miles away from our meeting place it was impossible for her to make it on time. So, I decided to swim.
Then swim I went, I was happy I did it. I failed doing the front crawl drills but I was able to execute a breast stroke in one 50m lap (which was amazing because my officemate thought I can never do it but I knew I can so yay me!). I think I was able to cover about 400 - 500 meters because my body made the decision to have leg cramps so that I can leave the pool already.

Another, good decision moment to leave and to have my friend go and meet me at Market Market (instead of Ayala station) because we coincidentally rode the same jeepney together. Started the night right by coming on time, as planned, on our meeting place then enjoyed the night away.

In summary, obviously, it was a busy day, but it was made of series of good decisions and fortunate events (and mostly free meals haha) It was jampacked, action filled but still fun day. I never felt so alive and detached to my facebook haha (because I have to save batteries). I love love love it. I came home sore, stomach and heart full and I think this is one of the things I needed from all the craziness my life was becoming. I really really thank God for this day and making it possible for me to be able to do all this things in just one day. Yay me! ^_^
