(Extra)Ordinary Day

Yesterday (12/22) I was off from office, so I got as much sleep as I could but needed to wake up about lunch and went to office because I forgot to do something I need to up. I can actually brush it off 'coz it wasn't that important, but what motivated me to go there was my ipod. hehe. I need to upload some pix and mp3.

I got off 4ish and decided to go to Wheelock Place and have my ipod battery checked. I've been a bit paranoid about it lately 'coz I just really want to make sure it's worth the price. Imagine, 2 days after I bought it, it hang. But as they told me, it's a crunch you normally encounter from its disk. So I went there again yesterday for the battery. I fully charged it prior and have it drained, but it didn't last for 14 hours like the manual said. As usual, the service crew told me to just set some stuff from my ipod to a minimum, like the backlight, shuffle off, etc. I'm not sure if it's gonna work, but I did it anyway.

Then since I was in Orchard, and a bit bored and uhm, lonely, I rather mosey around (again) and enjoy the views of the shopping capital. I just realized that Orchard has been my saving grace for some sort especially when such condition hits me. And I'm glad I did it.

I reached Dhoby Ghaut about 5ish (it was in deed quite a walk), and kill the time window shopping (again) while waiting for my friend to arrive. We're supposed to watch either Night at the Museum or The Holiday but we run out of seat so we end up watching Charlotte's Web. It was a bit uplifting film though. It's about friendship, who knows no bigotry but looks at the purity of one's heart. It's also about seeing miracle that happens everyday. Sometimes we don't really notice it, but everyday is life's miracle. And that we can be a source of miracle for someone.

After seeing the flick, we waited for another friend and went to Mustafa to buy some pasalubong. It was a 24-hour mall where you can find almost anything you need (especially every Indian's need; it's their territory anyway), but my energy wasn't good enough for 24 hours so after a while we head home.

I just bought 3 packs and 2 bars of Cadbury chox. I'm such a stingy. Well, just for that.
This is one lousy blog I write. I wish to improve soon though. Or rather, bring back my writing power.

And hey! Thanks to my friend Tubby! She bought me my coveted gift this holiday, a book entitled "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffeneger. Everytime I take a look at it at every bookstore (and Paulo Coelho's Like A Flowing River), I always have goose bumps. Serious. Now I can't wait to start reading it.

Indeed I had a great day.
