Weekend Wonders
Two days. For some, two days is too long. For others, it can be too short. I belong to the latter. Two days rest is just not enough. I need like three to allow me to do all the stuff that I need to do so I can be prepared for yet another week of working it out in the graveyard shift that starts at 11pm up until 8am. Yeah. I now miss the 9pm to 6am shift.
Anyway, working during weekdays is not the only thing I do. I also do attend to other responsibilities and that includes spending time with my son and also working on my freelance writing projects. Of course, I do need to give time to my freelance duties or else I don’t have the moolah I would need for various things. Yeah. I am a person with an expensive lifestyle, if you would like to call me that.
And so what I do on the weekend is I make sure that I totally relax and I try hard not to think about all the responsibilities that await me when the weekend is over. So what do I do to relax?
Sleep… sleep… sleep… Do you ever get tired of sleeping?
Sleep. I do try to get as much sleep as I can because during the weekdays, I seem to get so little sleep. If you have already worked the graveyard shift, you would know that sleeping at night is still very different from sleeping in the morning. Even if you do sleep for 11 hours at day, it would just seem like a nap. Try to get around three hours of sleep at night and you’d still have the energy to do whatever you would like to do for the rest of the day. Well, at least, that’s me. So I sleep. Blame me if I don’t go out that much with friends during the weekend. It’s like I just wanna lie down and relax.
I don’t watch TV. I watch movies and TV shows on my computer.
Watch DVDs. As I have learned back in college, most people love watching movies or other television series because they allow us to escape from reality. We are given tons of things that we would only dare imagine and we get to see how it would look like if they did come true. Thanks to movies and these TV shows, we get to escape and somehow enjoy the hours that we spent in that world that was presented to us. That is perhaps one of the reasons why I love watching movies and other television shows during the weekend. This week, I’ve watched Eagle Eye, America’s Next Top Model (Cycle 9), Happy Feet, CSI, and Friends. Cess is totally right. Eddie Cahill of CSI: New York is totally hot. He played Tag in several Friends episodes.
Playing computer games brings a different kind of adrenaline rush.
Play games. During times when the internet connection is really fast, I try to download as much games as I can. Well, I love playing games. I have a couple of those full version games. But most of the time, I try out the one-hour trial versions available online. When I find one that really wants me to play more, then that would be the only time that I would be purchasing the full version. I sure would not waste money on something that I don’t even like. I’m sure you would do that as well.
So… where do we go?
Go out. Before I started working in this new company, I had been one of those people who you would definitely find spending time with friends. I would be found in various places and I would be going home late at night so much so that my mom would call me her ’son’ because she says my habits are like a guy’s. Oh well. Anyhow, I do try to go out every weekend when my body is willing. At least I can get to know how things are going for my friends. And yeah, I also get to have hours of laughter and stories and catching up and just plain hanging out. I miss those times that I could hang out with them everyday. 
Learning should never stop. Always learn something new. That’ll keep you from getting bored with your life.
Learn. Well, I did put in learning here. See, I have said that I always want to learn. And with that, I put in like an hour or so of learning these lessons on the industry that I am in. I cannot say that I am a total SEO expert. I just want to learn more. Hone up on my skills (if there are any). Or at the very least, be able to understand how the whole thing works. Well, I do know how the whole thing works. It’s just that a little lessons now and then helps me refresh whatever things I already know. And that’s good. So there.
Of course, I did not include spending time with Sky because that is already a given. I also do that to relax and that is a weekend wonder.
