| Ballet recital on a Sunday |
I guess my blogposts now revolve around weekends with friends. Since I got back from Davao, I have been meeting friends non-stop. I am not complaining, but as an introvert, these activities are a revelation -- that I can thrive in a social environment. I might even enjoy this new lifestyle. I like feeling awkward every now and then. When I am awkward, I tend to listen more. I realized that people like to talk about themselves a lot. I call it the Kris Aquino syndrome -- "Ay, ako kase..." or "I don't know with you, but with me..." It's fascinating and torturous. In the back of my mind, I have thoughts like "Kailangan nya ng blog or podcast" and "Sounds like a personal problem." Yes, I internally judge like that, but don't we all?
Another thing that I observed is that I am now more assertive with recommending places to eat to my friends and work colleagues. It's always "I suggest this, but if you want something else, let's go for it." Surprisingly, no one has a stronger stance on food (and coffee) than me. I used to be the kind of person who orders the same food as the others. Now I am the person who asks if the order can be served in two separate plates or if the egg can be over easy or if the rice can be replaced with a salad... Of course, I will never replace rice with salad! LOL
So cheers to celebrating weekends, pushing boundaries, and reinventing ourselves!
