4th of July and Other Stories

the 4th of july has come to pass again. actually, kahapon siya and i was hoping against hope that the office would declare the 3rd (monday) a holiday as
well pero deadma.

so i actually went to work on monday. to compound my woes, my co-editor went on leave for two weeks starting july 1. which means that ako lang ang magsasara ng diyaryo for two effing weeks. tama ba yun? anyway, at least someday, magagamit ko rin itong
leverage when i ask for my leave in the future.


so how was my 4th of july? it was generally okay.

went to the grocery and bought some stuff. then went to some house. long story -- the family of my cousin's husband all live here. so ang laki talaga ng angkan nila. like 6 brothers and sisters with their whole families in tow. i just don't like the feeling of socializing with them but i don't have a choice. baka akalain naman nilang supladito ako't kalahati.

so iyon. bbq dito, bbq dun. eh may swimming pool sila. gusto ko sanang lumangoy langoy pro di ako nakapagdala ng swimwear. lol. alangan namang birthday
suit. ayaw ng pulis.

i just watched TV and played games with the kids. then nung mga 4 pm, some of them left and bought a bingo game. hayun, afterwards eh bingo bingo na until
8 pm. nanalo ako ng ten dollars. hahaha.

afterwards, off to the fireworks show. nakauwi kami sa bahay mga 12 midnight na.

i had lots of free time nung weekend so nagbabad ako sa cineplex. opening weekend ng the perfect storm ni george clooney saka yung the patriot ni mel gibson.
watched them both. okay lang. i liked the patriot a bit better, tho it was a longer. tatlong oras yata siya. eh yung perfect storm eh 2 hrs 10 minutes. hayun, halos mag pop na naman ang contacts ko.

am following this season's real world on mtv. kasi may pinay na nakapasok. actually, black pinay because mixed siya -- dad's black and mom's pinay; from florida. guilty pleasure.
