Weekend?

The weekend is almost over, and it felt like I haven't had the time to either relax or even had time for myself. The big project has absolutely encroached on my "me" time. I guess it is a reality I have to face until I got this project pinned down. I'm hoping by December.

On Friday evening, I took my friend F for a walk around D.C. We visited the White House, the World War II Memorial, the Washington Monument and explored The Mall. I've been to the said sites at daytime, but to my amazement, they have a beauty of their own at night. The best part of our walk was sitting at the Washington Monument watching the sunset. From where the photo was taken, I could see the Lincoln Memorial and the Reflecting Pool. Remember Forrest Gump's Reflecting Pool scene?


As I write this post, I'm psyching or preparing myself to get ready for another busy work week. But wait, I've been working during the weekend too. It is as if Saturday or Sunday never came. Where did my weekend go?

  2. Ah, work. Sigh. Hope we get to relax in a while. I'm experiencing severe neck pains now so I never got to enjoy the weekened, even a movie didn't do any good.

  4. Only thru sheer self control did I find myself driving to work today. My weekend was hectic, there wasn't time to pause and breathe in and out.

    I wish it were Friday today.

    Where are all those gorgeous night shots of DC?

  6. Minsan I also feel like that. Burn out ang aabutin natin nyan.
    One thing that keeps me going is saying "delayed gratification" over and over. Good luck!
