boredom...

zoe,
originally uploaded by marts.

is a privilege.. to me, it means you have free time.. time to think of something to do..

i was able to develop some habits recently..

1. I wake up between 7 - 730am everyday (mon-sat anyways). I now hate myself for this habit because i wake up really early back home. early rise on a saturday morning is something special because..

2. We have a saturday morning run.. the best habit so far.. we jog between 3～5 km on saturdays around the nearby sports center.. then have a mild mcdonalds breakfast also nearby.. spend around 1hr walking around admiring luxury cars after then walk the approx. 800-meter walk home.. it's a marathon but it really feels good to wake up early and enjoy the morning sun..

3. Saturday lunch with whomever at home on saturdays.. guys here in chiba usually go to the city to meet friends.. and with whoever sticks around in chiba, we usually have lunch together (we cook filipino food and share) then spend some quality TV/DVD time for a while.. there's nothing better than a hearty lunch after a tiring jog.. .

4. comic reading... now I've developed an addiction to the ranma manga series.. I just tried buying a few books to keep myself busy during the weekends but it, unfortunately, turned to addiction.. well, at least, not YET anyway..

5. Sunday adventures.. velber and me were the ever present adventurers every sunday.. we wanted to save some train money on sundays so we asked mr. google for the nearest catholic church around chiba.. we found 2. of course, we had a couple of misadventures (it took us 45 minutes to reach a 15-min-walk-from-train-station church) and now, we are exploring alternatives to save money from train fare. so far, monorail and a free walking exercise is the answer! (yeah, yeah... it's not so good to walk home for 25 mins on a cold, windy, stormy night...)

that's all for now.. got to get back to work..

ps. picture herein is my niece at 3mos old. can't believe she grew that big already! can't wait to see her..
