just one of those days

my supposed two-week road trip cut short to seven days by unwanted physiological reactions to stress. i had to go home and cancel my original schedule to go to agusan del sur because aside from avoiding another parting of the red sea (go figure), i could feel my muscles going through a revolution as a mere touch of my back brings me pain (bearable but uncomfortable).

and so it's one of those days when you have been away from the office so long and you're not entirely in the best of conditions and all you want is a hot water bottle on your abdomen, your legs propped on several pillows and the remote control chained to your hand while you lazily teeter-totter between consciousness and nothingness.

nothing much to say with so much that has happened. all i see are blurry lines on my vision and all i can think about are those things stated in the second paragraph. and so... just to while away my time, i will answer a long-overdue tag by toni.

but before that, a shameless plug... jan finally has a friendster. yup, i kinda forced him though he has been saying he really should have an account for connections. i feel kinda guilty for getting him into that, but i think he will see its benefits in the long run. hehehe! so if you are jan's friend... friendster him na. hehehe!
