Riding Into The Sunrise

Going to try something new in a little while. Normally, I'm off to BC on Friday nights in time to teach my Saturday classes at UP Baguio - for a variety of reasons it seems that I can never manage to leave QC before 8 p.m. Today, although I managed to get all my work off my desk and clear all client e-mails by 5 p.m., I didn't feel like making an early start (TGIF has a different meaning for me; I left all the artists and other staff to unwind over another case of beer left-over from the last party while I had to prepare for yet another road trip) and decided to sleep off today's post-ngarag exhaustion.

And so, after my nap and pre-class review of notes, I'm going to ride into the sunrise of BC for a change, just in time for my first class at 9:00. Would be nice to get to the house without groping around in the dark with a flashlight - and that nice 24-hour carinderia off Legarda will probably have some decent food other than the cold midnight dinuguan I've been (not so miserably, actually) subsisting on. But the best thing about leaving for BC in the wee small hours of the morning: NO TRICYCLES!!!

Another new thing I'm looking forward to this weekend: some real quality time by myself in BC...I have the rare luxury of staying, at my leisure, 'til Sunday. For it is truly a day of rest! Ahhhhh, finally, a break. :-)
