I have long embraced that T.G.I.F. is not applicable here. In UAE, working week starts on a sunday and ends on thursdays. During my first month here, I used to say, “see you on monday!”, instead of sunday. In a way it used to made me feel benefited to think that I am resting during fridays while the rest out there are working. But pouting whenever I would realize it’s a 360-degree turn during sundays. That I am alone in the field and the people I love in the Philippines and those out there are savouring sunday. Psychology, eh? =)
It’s thursday again. We’ll be pigging out tonight since four of my office pals are throwing a solidary celebration. Bowling all night will follow soon after dinner.
What’s the picture of your friday night and/or weekend? Have fun and be good, everyone!

My best friend also had to embrace that fact when she went to Dubai for a career-turn!

I suppose she’s now well-adjusted to be working during sundays, too.

I usually reserve my weekends for some me-time, and tomorrow I’m going to watch Bones on DVD non-stop. It’s my current addiction. Happy weekend!

I was able to savor 3 films at home over the weekend. I’ve never seen Bones yet.
Daphne 10.10.08 at 7:50 am

This weekend I am catching two more films at the Spanish film festival which ends this Sunday!
I hope you had fun bowling!

I’m looking forward to this weekend, I have nothing planned except to sleep in and just relax. Oh and maybe go to the store in the afternoon to pick up some Halloween decorations…
witsandnuts Reply:

Reminds me Halloween is coming. There’s no much fancy stuff here or maybe I haven’t checked thoroughly in the other malls yet.
Hope you had a great weekend!
