Easter weekend

For the first time, I spent the Easter Weekend far from home. It was both tiring and restful at the same time. But I was so feverish starting on our first night and all through out the second day that I thought I'm going to call in sick today. But I got better on the third day. However, I still had to miss work because I was greeted with a broken water pipe at my apartment when I reached home last night. Don't exactly know when the pipes cracked, but when I woke up this morning it seemed like the hole grew twice its size than when I finally decided that I don't have the necessarry tools to fix it myself and that I'd better sleep and report the damage to my landlord the next day, which is today.

Another vacation leave down the drain, just when I was saving them all up for another out of country trip this September and of course the usual vacation on Christmas week. But I didn't really have a choice. I'll worry about my remaining VLs when the time comes.

Holy week 2011

This would be the first time that I will spend the Holy Week away from home. Holy Week, like Christmas, is usually that time of the year when people working away from home come home. At least for me. But I know for certain this is true to most people I know. I expect majority of the people in the office will be on vacation starting Monday.

Part of me is sad that I'm not spending a restful week at home that I usually do every Holy Week since I started working away from home. But part of me is also happy to break from routine once in a while.

April 1, night

In my room. On my bed. It's so quiet here. Except for the wind rumbling in the distance and the tone of an upcoming rain.

In two days I'll be leaving home again. I've done this enough times already that one would think there's no sadness anymore. And yet there still is. Even though I'm only here for a few days total in a year, this is still home.
