A Week-Long Vacation?!

Due to my school celebrating its Foundation Day this week, we won't be holding classes tomorrow till Wednesday and because I don't have my clinical rotation which falls on every Thursday to Saturday, that leaves me a week-long vacation!! Mama Mia, I just can't seem to think straight right now on what I should be doing on those days. Of course, I'd be blogging and reading, but what else?!

I am planning on writing more essays. I mean, right now, I'm practicing more on my writing skills. You see, I am not good in writing but I love to write so, I'd devote time on that this week. I still have one novel left to read aside from the one I'm reading right now, so that adds to the list. What else? Watch movie at the cinema, perhaps? I still have to think about that one. Not to mention that there's no movie showing right now that I really would love to watch. And besides, I am not really an outdoor-type of person. I only go out (aside from school and church) if I need to get something important done or I have to buy needed stuff. I prefer more staying at home when I have free time than going out and spending money on unnecessary things. Here in the city when you go out, no matter how hard you try to avoid the possibility of spending money, you just can't simply do that. In ways or little, you still have to pull out your wallet to pay stuff such as; food (snacks, if you're still full and on a really tight budget but you can't really stay outside for hours without feeling hungry), fare (which is implausibly expensive nowadays for a minimum wage-earning citizen, more so, for unemployed/students like me), and some other things that might attract your attention and make you not leave that place without you actually buying one from it. It can happen. I've had that experience a few years back. I went to this store, saw a really cute shirt and I bought it because I thought it will look nice on me. Guess what?! I only got to wear it thrice if I'm not mistaken. I simply lost interest in that shirt along the run. That taught me a lesson; not to give in to your yearning that easy or else, you'd regret it later on that you did. And the bottom line is - you wasted money.

This week-long vacation suddenly made me wish I could spend it in Samar. There would never be any dull moment if I will spend it there. I'd be going to the beach every single day and get a tan. Waah!! And even just for a week, the thought that I could get away from this polluted milieu and all that is quite driving me insane. I really would love to be in a place where I don't have to worry about the air I breath in, above all. I wish I have enough money to burn so I could afford a few days away from this city. But then again, back to reality.

Since I won't be going anywhere but here, I might as well just plan on meeting up with my friends any day this week and think of any possible pastime that won't compel me to spend money beyond its limit point. It's not that I don't have at least enough of it to spend on extra things, I just choose not to because I can't afford to expend the money that my husband sends me on stuff that I really won't be needing. But, I still want to give it a try and see if they'll have free time so we could meet and hang out together. Well, let's just see what's going to happen. As for now, I'll just sit back and relax. I'll let tomorrow worry on its own.
