I didn’t go to work today, something which i haven’t done in like, forever. Being an intern at the hospital means you’re there 7 days a week, except for the occasional holiday when you’re pre-duty. Like now, Quezon City day, for me.

To celebrate the gift of free time, i’m reopening my blog. I wrote my last entry three years ago, on another webhost, which i got tired of. I hope i’ll have something substantial, or at least fun and quirky, to say here.

Yesterday was a holiday, too, Ninoy Aquino Day. I was from duty, which means that i stayed at work from Sunday morning to Monday morning, aka 24 hours. When we’re from duty, we usually get dismissed at 5pm, but holidays mean we get dismissed at 8am, once the next batch of interns on duty arrive. So woohoo for me. My dad picked me up from the hospital, and then i took a shower at home, and then we had lunch at Italianni’s Trinoma. Then i treated my dad to coldstone ice cream at Cold Rock. Mint chocolate chip’s the best ice cream flavor ever. Yum yum. I must’ve gained five pounds, but my excuse is that i’ll probably burn it all off at work. That happens when you have to climb four flights of stairs everyday. Besides, it’s not everyday that i get to spend time with my dad, who lives in La Union, which is 6 hours away from Quezon City.

Today, once i decide to get up from bed, i’m going to the mall. Again. I’ll probably get something from Fully Booked. Or i could get a shirtdress, if there’s one that i fall totally in love with.

Today i am relaxed and stress-free. It’s been a while :D
