April Fools' Day! I'm here at the airport working the whole day...it's 20:42 already on the digital timers hanging above the arrival area. I'm stationed here at the Passenger Assistance Counter, which i heard was a "bahay kubo" before--some kind of gimmick that the Department of Tourism thought of to show how Filipino the Philippines is! (haha, pathetic).

Anyway, i just finished giving international roaming flyers to passengers who came from Singapore. Before that, i was surprised to see someone i know by our booth, asking what i was doing here. Believe me, it's not someone i'm excited to see again after a long time...

20:53 already, just an hour and few minutes before 10pm and i'm free! Well, just for tonight coz i have a shift again tomorrow and Saturday, too. I also have another work tomorrow night and Saturday night after my airport shift ends at 4pm. Am i a workaholic? No, i just got lucky this weekend.

Where will you be this Holy Week/
Some of the Globe models will be working at Boracay; my friend Mod, who is here with me, will also be going to Boracay but for Marlboro; My closer friends Mewa, Cathy and Ria, etc. are planning to go to Hong Kong. How about me? SIGH. I'll be at a Church Conference at Teachers' Camp, Baguio City.

How depressing is that?! I think i've been attending this conference since time immemorial--since i was in Grade 5, so that's 1997, i think! I just missed one last year when i went with my boyfriend to their province in Mauban, Quezon. That was FANTASTIC, no doubt about it! But of course, my mom went to Baguio alone last year with a heavy heart so she made me promise that i'd go with her this year. SIGH. THIS SUCKS!

I really hate going to that conference. To put it simply, i just can't relate...I don't know anyone, ain't close or beyond "hi" "hello" speaking terms with anyone. No one really knows what i'm really going through! All the spiritual and religious stuff being taught there is too abstract, too idealistic for me to apply in my life.

I swear next year i won't be going! I'll find a job that would allow me NOT to go or i'll just say that i don't want to go! That's that. SIGH. Why can't i be normal? Have a vacation or go to the beach during Holy Week? It's soo depressing, i'd rather not think about it.
