Initially, today was a very, very boring day. It was so boring that I spent a good part of it talking about or thinking about work, and was on the verge of going to the office (even if it's my first off-day for the week). It helps that I like my job, but still.
So I set about looking for activities to cure me of boredom. I went online, checked out forums--was still bored. Got up, watched TV--was still bored. Eventually found my book Persepolis, was engrossed in the story, finished the book in one sitting--and then ended up bored right after.
It was crazy-making, I tell you.
I remembered this person that I've been meaning to contact for quite some time now though. She was a friend of mine from 5th grade--someone I used to play lazer tag and talk to about Play Station games with. We drifted apart after an inane fight one Halloween afternoon, and barely exchanged words until we graduated high school. Since lazer tag is my big thing nowadays, I thought it would be great if I could invite her to hang-out again, just like 5th grade.
So I fished her number out of our batch e-groups and gathered the guts to call her up--at work no less (since that was the only number available in the e-groups, lol). And it was great! Catching up, finding out how she's doing, and maybe even playing against her again at Lazer Tag. 
That gave me a natural high. Doing something I've been putting off... getting in touch with a long lost friend.
And then--to top it off, I also stopped procrastinating and decided to color my hair already. I went to the salon, and voila, it is now a lighter hue. I think it looks good (and that's what matters).
Now, I'm off to dinner with Kuya Paolo. Maybe I can even convince him to go with me to Rockeoke! But whatever the case, I am just so, so happy that what started out as an excruciatingly boring day is now looking up to be one of my brighter ones. Hurray, hurray!!
