the weekend's events started with this night - celebrating Ivy's 28th birthday (she's the beautiful girl with the cute lil hat to my right). i love having a reason to celebrate, especially birthdays. they never get old. i was debating the whole week whether or not i would go since it was on a Friday night and in downtown San Diego (quite the drive), but i guess deep down i knew i'd end up going and i'm glad i did.i went with z's brother and sister-in-law (the girl in the middle) and it was one of the first times we've actually hung out without z. it was fun, full of laughs and lots of alcohol. Ivy's brother ordered bottle service and the rest is history. to be honest, i hadn't anticipated drinking as much as i did but for some reason, i always had a drink in hand. with the drinking came dancing and with the dancing came more drinking, it was a never ending cycle.
while we're on the topic of dancing, i want to pause for a second to commend the women out there who are able to do this on a daily to weekly basis while wearing heels. man, my feet were aching so badly by the end of the night that i had to take my shoes off. on top of that, i woke up the next morning and almost fell to my knees when i got out of bed because my feet couldn't support me. even today i'm experiencing difficulty with wiggling my toes. it's funny the things women go through to look good, isn't it? z's sister-in-law also suffered the same fate and ended up removing her heels and we both couldn't help but think how easy men have it sometimes. do you hear that, men?! easy, easy, easy!
it was weird driving back home by myself since it's usually z who's driving and me passed out on the passenger side (i know, i'm a bad passenger). i'm ashamed to say this but i almost fell asleep behind the wheel a few times. it was the first time i experienced it and it was scary. i've heard stories from friends and on the news about falling asleep behind the wheel and didn't know how that was possible until Friday night. i know i should have probably pulled over but the thought of my bed and emi being at home motivated me to keep going. i wasn't swerving in between lanes or anything drastic like that, but my speed kept altering and i felt strangely dazed. as a result i've made a vow to never, ever drive late at night, even if i think i can handle it because to be honest, i didn't feel sleepy until half an hour into the drive. it was a selfish and dangerous thing to do and i'm very regretful. this is my confession and my promise to never repeat it.
so, moving on...
the weekend continued with a visit from my friend jin yesterday. we stayed in, talked in our pj's and just vegged out. we discussed relationships, love and life (typical girl talk), ordered pizza, watched a few movies, and eventually fell asleep. it's always nice to simply enjoy another person's company and i can honestly say i enjoy hers. we meet only a few times a year but when we do, we always pick up right where we left off - don't you just love friendships like that? we had a good ol' relaxing time and boy, did i need it.
today will be dedicated to school work, as usual. i feel behind in my studies so i'm sadly eager to get started. i'm already 2 hours behind the time i set for myself to begin (can someone invent the ability to rewind time already?). i think it might be the rain that has me feeling lazy and unmotivated. it's been raining the whole weekend and even though i love it, i wish z was here to enjoy it with me. nothing compares to being in bed together while it's raining - something about it is just so comforting and secure, makes me never want to get up. instead, i woke up to a snoring emi at my bedside. she's been such a good girl despite my busy schedule that has led me to neglect her of the attention she's used to. i'm sure she can't wait for z to come back home too.
time is ticking and it's my cue to hit the books and type up double spaced papers. i hope i don't procrastinate too much today because i'm already stressed, even though i'm trying real hard to take it easy. hope you all are enjoying a lovely weekend indoors, or enjoying the rain outdoors. let's not think too much of the monday blues to come. xoxox
