one day off

it's exhausting having only one day off, when you came from a job that had almost 4 days off.
then again, i have no right to compare two separate disciplines, even if they are in the same field (more or less).

yesterday i woke up at 1030 to find fifi downstairs, keeping herself busy with our laundry and breakfast. wow. she's the big sister i never had. hahaha. seriously, i appreciate her efforts. i fixed her stuff and cleaned up her clutter the night before, so I guess i'm not being very abusive. plus she actually ENJOYS household chores.

mike our housemate arrived at 11 am with a dozen of bacardi breezers. for us. yahoo! colin had mike buy them for us at irish village, one of the few places that sold liquor. had one bottle last night. i miss those days with the pinks, intoxicating ourselves silly, singing like there was no tomorrow, and smoking like a chimney. and the giggles! boisterous laughter actually.

2pm we were fetched by ayadh. we had take-away lunch from the automatic restaurant on sheikh zayed road. i am now a fan of lebanese food. not too spicy, but very tasty. fifi and i love it. but we love ayadh more for being our angel (and to think he's an atheist). he just goes out of his way to make sure that we are ok, having fun and not starving. hahaha. but seriously, the best part of the day was when ayadh, fifi and i shared a bottle of really good wine and just talked about anything and everything.

when we have the time and money, fifi and i are planning to go to cyprus. i have no idea why.
