Ramblings on a Saturday Morning

I hate it when my body clock is on automatic awake at 7am on a freaking cold saturday morning. I try to read a book for me to go back to sleep... and I manage to get a bit sleepy at around 8.. and I woke up every half an hour after that... and convince myself that it still isn't time to get up. I am finally up by 10.. and I realize that I should be up by 9 because I have to meet friends in the city at 11. I called up the friend I have to meet and said that I was thinking of staying in instead... the lazy bug probably bit me during my sleep.

It's saturday... and here's me wishing for the weekend not to end. I dont really have an adventure filled weekend in Sydney but weekends mean time away from work, which I am hating at this stage.

Someone said to me before that work is not fun, it's rewarding... Until now, I'm still trying to take in what he said... cause at this point.. work is certainly not fun nor rewarding for me.

I am thinking of doing volunteer work... that can be rewarding... but I don't think I'm cut out for the mold... I just don't have the passion in me anymore. It has long died down.

I just wanna get married, settle down, have kids, and be a housewife. Now that can be rewarding... don't you think?

Gotta See These Manila Spots

I came across this article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer. It describes the city's eight best kept secrets.

1. Best Secret Garden - Arroceros Forest Park
2. Best Secret View of Old Manila - The Baluarte de San Diego
3. Best Secret Shopping District - Rizal Avenue
4. Best Secret Art Deco Rendezvous - Orchid Garden Suites
5. Best Secret Bar - Oar House
6. Best Secret Little Restaurant - Ambos Mundos
7. Best Secret Snack - The Diamond Hotel Ensaymada
8. Best Little Museum - The Gamaba Museum

Not sure if the Arroceros Forest Park is the same as the Mehan Gardens that I catch a glimpse of on my way to chaotic Quiapo. And it would be nice if i could get a local item from the the best little museum. Now if only i could fit this in my already packed 2-week vacation in December...

i never thought that i'd be somewhere here in the middle east.

i actually had intentions of joining the rest of the maggots at kiwiland but here i am in this country which has one of the highest gdp per capita in the world. i guess i have to pause now before my first contrib to this team effort blog turns cheesy.
