stress reliever

i feel better today. my throat still aches so i'm stuck w/ soup :)) (diet program na itu...) pero compared yesterday, i feel fine today.

the 4 walls of my aparment are driving me crazy so i decided to go out. with witty, (yes, she's my pink jitensha) we went to the mini zoo-park near my aparment (yumemigasaki doubutsu koen) i brought along my nihongo notes (because i will have my finals on wednesday :-P), some clover chips and the jasmine tea (w/c i will not buy anymore because it's "blech!" but in fairness mabango siya, para akong umiinom ng katas ng sampaguita =)))

anyway, as i arrived at the park, the chuushajo (parking area) was full - meaning the park may be crowded. and yeah, the park was full of children running around with their parents, dogs, grandparents, mini bikes, balls, etc... but i wasn't bothered by the sight... i was even happy to see the nihonjins (especially the guys) playing with their kids. i remembered h1ok1-san told me that every weekend he plays with her 2-year old daughter (w/c until now i can't imagine):-P you see, we have this "image" of nihonjins as workaholics... shigoto-shigoto... but as i watched them play with their kids, i realized, "may puso din pala ang mga ito" =)) maybe during weekdays, they work, then family day every weekend. well sana ung mga taga-nC0$ ay ganun din :-P wehehehe...

i settled myself in a vacant gazebo and started reading my notes. once in a while i daydream of my own family playing in the park, wehehehe... (if only rizal park is clean and safe, maybe we can go there every weekend :-P) nice din tignan ung mga tatay taking pictures of their kids while playing then ung mga nanay eh fini-figure-out kung paano laruin ung toy nung anak hehehe... and the grandparents also... sunod ng sunod kahit saan pumunta ung mga apo nila hihihi...

then after an hour, i decided to go to the mini zoo. mas ok ngaun compared last time na nagpunta ko ksi mas malinis na (ksi spring na so mas marami na pumupunta ngaun :-P) may isang pakoy na nanay na pinalapit sa lemur ung anak nya :)) "abunaiyo!" sabi nung isang lolo wehehehe... i didn't bother to take pictures ksi gusto ko lang sila maretain sa utak ko :)) but it was nice to see the park full of families... kinda wished that moment kasama ko rin ung akin wahahaha... (oops teka, bata pa ko :)))

now i'm back w/ my crazy 4 walls... blogging... hoping that the days will go faster... so i can play in the park na with my future family :-)

but in the meantime... study mode ulit ako wehehehe...

tsk, reality bites. :-P
