Weekend Sepanx

I haven't blogged in a year! Thanks to Zoe's and Aspyn's blogs, I have been inspired to start posting on my little space in the internet again. :) I don't have hundred thousands of followers like they do, but it just feels nice to have an online diary.

Anywho;

This weekend, my parents are out of town. I am happy because (1) they get to spend time with just each other and forget about work for a while, and (2) I get a bit more freedom than I usually do!

Weekends have been more special for me because I started working a month ago. That two-day break feels more special now that I work 5 days a week. Although I don't despise Mondays because I guess I'm still excited with my new job, this weekend is different.

The start of my unique weekend!

On Friday night, I slept at someone else's house. We woke up very early because we had to pick up Tita Lira at the airport. I absolutely missed her! It has been 6 long months. That afternoon, we went to the mall to buy her a new phone and to dine out. I went home that night as promised to my parents.

The next day was something absolutely different for me. I went to church with someone else aside from family. My mom's views are very traditional: this includes declaring Sunday as family day. But since they aren't around, I decided to spend it at someone else's house instead of staying home alone (which happens quite frequently anyway).

Before going home, I'm having separation anxiety (that's what Sepanx mean, in case you didn't know) with this weekend. It's very different because I felt more independent for two days. Don't get me wrong, I miss my parents. But just being outside without worrying that your mom is already waiting for you with a well-prepared sermon feels nice.

Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. My parents are still on vacation for a few more days, but it feels different now because my mom left some office work for me to handle for her (which still feels nice because it means she trusts me), and my dad won't be around to bring and to pick me up from work (yes, he's sweet that way).

On the flip side, looking forward to a jam packed week ahead! This week, I have lots of social gatherings scheduled. Another milestone for an introvert like me who prefers spending time alone, eh? ;)
