Busy Weekend

I covered Japan Yonex Open semifinals match last Saturday. Unlike last year, I was more confident this year. I also stopped second-guessing myself. I guess only experience will make you better.

After the games, I had a quick dinner and a couple of drinks with Alfred & Irene at Angkor Wat restaurant in Yoyogi. We had a quick catch-up and I needed to hurry back home because my girl friends and I are off to Toshimaen onsen that will end with them sleeping over at my place.

Toshimaen onsen is still cool. I can spend a whole day in spas like these. We stayed until 11pm and then walked over back home stopping at Natural Lawson to buy some snacks.

Around midnight, we were finally in the comfort of my home and we decided to drink up a bit, do our girls talk and retired to bed at around 1:30am.

***

I got up at around 8:30am and prepared our hotcake breakfast. We did a bit of Core Rhythms exercise while trying to figure out the menu for our afternoon home party. I went to have a quick shower and the rest of the girls readied themselves because we needed to pick up one friend and go shopping for our afternoon party.

***

We prepared tacos and then it was followed by a sushi party. As usual there were lots of alcohol and chatting, with our friend napping out. Another friend came and then another and then another. We missed only 1 guy friend who (apparently) has been very disappointed because the girl he likes seems least interested in him.

***

The party ended at around 7:30pm. I was too tired and probably too drunk, I didn't realize I fell as sleep. I woke up at around 10:30pm with a splitting headache (hangover) and ended up tossing and turning, not even hoping to get a couple of hour's sleep.

***

In all of these, I greeted HB a happy birthday yesterday. I think this is officially our first interaction after 3 years. He replied back to me that he too wishes me to be happy. I have been missing him all this time but I'm way passed the dreaming stage and I know that it'll take more than a miracle to bring back what we had, because of the complications of the past.

***

Today I will skip my yoga class and instead try to tuck myself as early as possible in bed. I'm really sleepy and really tired and I don't want to think much about HB. I have a streak of social gatherings in the week ahead and I want to conserve my energy to be as cheerful and happy with important people in my life now.
