T.G.I.T.

by witsandnuts on October 9, 2008

bowling

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!

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!

Yay! Long weekend. My arms/hands still ache from bowling (had it again last friday). But it was much fun!

I used to spend friday nights and weekends at the office when I was still there. :) Oh wow, thanks for the award. :)

I was able to savor 3 films at home over the weekend. I’ve never seen Bones yet. :)

Reply

witsandnuts October 12, 2008 at 1:03 PM

If I was there, I surely have catched the festival, too. :) Yes, I had much fun bowling.

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!
