One of my favourite things to do is get to the airport early, treat myself to a Starbucks drink & dessert and start the process of brain decompression. Palette cleanser before the experiences that a new trip will bring if you may. 

I must say, I love that Singapore makes traveling so... Uncomplicated. Power of the SG$, ease of check in, automated immigration, easy going airport which in turn shuffles (for the most part!) about  easy going travellers. 

Traveling from Manila on the other hand, always feels like such a gargantuan effort. You save up for so long for even a short trip, traffic getting to the airport, queues, fees, and if you're traveling out of NAIA 1- then sad limbo areas. 

Anywho, holiday mode on, even if it just for the weekend!

I'm on leave from work today! Slept in, cleaned up, caught a streamed show then headed out to check on some prices for M.

Agenda for the rest of the day includes: grocery shopping, cooking for the week, bit of excersize (must must must do this!), then possiby head to bed early so I can get to work early tomorrow to catch up with mail and get prepped for the rest of the week. 

Work is crazy again - while I'm in it, its exciting - a bit of autopilot mode & thriled when i finish a stack of tasks. But when I get to stop, breathe & think about what I'm doing, I always freak out a little (ok, sometimes a lot). 

In other news, I had a moment of financial maddness yesterday. Once in a blue moon, I throw whatever control or discipline I have in my life and say "ahh f*ck it", and just buy. Which is what I did with my overnight trip to Bangkok this weekend. I blame it on a few things: (1) crazy need of a good massage - with no thanks to R who went home this past weekend to do just that, (2) crazy need of an out of town vacation - trips home & weddings where you have a role don't count as a vacation as they are more reaponsibiliy than they are relaxing, (3) reason to travel - G is celebrating her birthday. While there are groups plans, I plan to squeeze in a bit of me-time to get some much needed out of city R&R. Ill stress out about the financial implications later! 

In the meantime, I will sit and enjoy my giant breakfast for lunch (as my final meal before going back to calorie counting for the week), read, write a bit - and enjoy the present!
