A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ABBIE
Monday, May 29, 2006I've always wanted to post a blow-by-blow account of my day. Here's a try. I tried to document some bits on what happened to me last Friday - May 26. Hit it!
5:30 AM - My alarm went off after barely two hours of setting it. I woke up with a monstrous-lack-of-sleep headache but nevertheless turned on my computer to check some videos that we will use for the Excellence tire launch set at 9:00 am.
6:15 AM - Went to the washroom to take a shower. Had my usual dose of Vaseline, Cream Silk White and J&J Foam Bath.
6:58 AM - Started the engine of Porshie (my car) and listened to Morning Rush's Top 10 (Top 10 Reasons It's A Sign To Move Out From Your Parents' House) and prepared myself to the drive to Makati. I took the Skyway and braved the no-coding early morning traffic.
8:01 AM - Turned right at The Fort leading to the Manila Speedzone to attend the Excellence dealer launch.

12: 54 AM - Arrived at Starbucks Petron SLEX and had a very lengthy "going back memory lane" and reminiscing with Aileen, Charo and Jako. We had a blast! We talked about ex-crushes, our past adventures (Ivy's van-stuck-in-the-mud and Aileen's drunk-as-a-cow were still the best), gossiped about our classmates, and me and Aileen's lack of lovelife and moving on progress.
