no day is a bad day as long as you have "happy cakes"

Yesterday was one of the best days I've had the past two weeks! We finally saw Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen with my sister and my bro-in-law. True to their word, they waited for me to get better so we could watch it together all four of us. We were supposed to catch it on iMax at Mall of Asia but when my sis and bro-in-law were about to pay, the attendant told them that it wasn't in 3D. So we settled for watching it at Eastwood instead because it's not going to be worth it on iMax, much to our disappointment. The evening consisted of a long trip to Alabang then Libis where we finally got to try Regrub at ClubSixFifty beside Shopwise. They have yummy burgers! And much to my delight I saw Blushing Cupcakes. My sister, being pregnant, gladly joined me inside to pick out cupcakes. I haven't seen her in several days that's why I was surprised to see that her baby bump is becoming bigger and bigger. We moved to Eastwood after dinner where they boys had Red Mango while my sister and I shopped. It was short but it was still fun. 

I love Eastwood because it's a small place with happy looking people. Especially now that the "city" has become bigger and the new mall has a lot of new stores now. I'll always love Eastwood. Their movie theaters are my favorite too because it's small. I hate big crowds. Last night was such a treat after getting sick for so long. It was a sort of celebration for my emancipation. Hah! Told you I'm back! Had to drag myself to class this 8AM in the morning too after NO SLEEP thanks to my Cafe Mocha with three pumps mint. I missed it! I missed coffee. Haven't had a cup since I got sick. So having NO SLEEP and having classes til 5PM was pure torture for me. I thought I'd doze off on the floor any second!

Anyway, it's such a lovely evening today. The air is cool and my toes are cold from the breeze my fan is blowing. I decided to open the windows to let fresh air in and right now I'm enjoying the weather.

I had a bad day again maybe because I was tired and the day didn't go out as well as I thought. The series of bad days just keep on coming but I've already finished sulking and feeling gloomy. I think I practiced what Morrie explained to Mitch in "Tuesdays with Morrie". It's about wearing all these negative thoughts/sadness like a tshirt, allowing yourself to be drenched by it and embrace all the gloominess but after a while, you take the shirt off and do away with it. You've already allowed for all the negative energy to set in, you've absorbed it all, so there's no reason to continue wearing the negative vibes. THROW IT AWAY. That's how the idea goes, anyway. I think it's therapeutic when you healthily think about things that bother you because after a while when you allow yourself to understand the situation you begin to feel okay about it and then it doesn't bother you as much anymore.

Life is like that, a series of ups and downs. Who am I to be exempted from the downside right? I seriously feel better now especially now that I remember that I have cupcakes from Blushing Cupcakes waiting patiently for me in the fridge to make me 100% better.

Who cares about bad days? I HAVE FROSTED CUPCAKES! And the world is a happy place again.
