...I usually read a book. Right now, I'm reading David Baldacci's The Christmas Train. It's the first time for me to read a book that is "in-season," (although the book was published eons ago). At least, I'm doing something related to the Holiday spirit.
...I read magazines. Try it. It's educational. Just be careful in choosing magazines to read, especially the local ones. Some of them are filled with editors who will just fuck up your english. I'm not kidding. It's better if you just stick to Time magazine or Newsweek. I love reading Time's Style and Design Special.
...I skate. I keep a tatty beatup pair of skates in my beatup car's trunk. Whenever I feel the urge, I leave the office earlier than usual and rush to SM Mall of Asia, where Asia's biggest ice skating rink is. I am not a good skater though. I just know how to glide. That my friends, is not enough for me. It's usually on the ice when I just forget about everything. If only I could afford the lessons, then I would be infinitelyhappier.
...I take photographs of my friends. I am magnet of cam-whores. As you can see, Thons, Niņo, Kat Sy make it appear as though I am the one trigger-happy with me my camera and they're the ones allergic to the camera. Truth be told, Thons promised he'd buy me dinner for a week if I took a photo of their mock-escape-from-the-paparrazzo.
...I pester my officemates. Even though I can sometimes be really annoying to them, they love me dearly (or so I think). Since I operate best within proximity, Diana Uy is usually my hapless victim. Adrian, also, is no exception. Timing doesn't favor me though when I harass this person. I've always suspected he has some sort of black magic.
...I head for the casino. Kidding. I go to the video arcade. It's usually here where I can release all my frustration and anger and disappointment. It's the next best thing to spending time in the toilet.
....I fly. Kidding, again. I thought it would be fun to a take a photograph of my feet while I was on cable car in Sentosa Island. I thought it would make me look as though I were flying. My friend Jason Brizuela said it was a brilliant idea. But whenever I would see this photo, I would ask myself, "What the hell was I thinking?" It was a great experience, nevertheless.
....I dream. Right now, I dream of owning a Honda Jazz. I also dream of one day moving to Singapore and working for a magazine like Folio or Arena. You can't blame me. Dreaming is the only activity that keeps me sane these days.
