Not-so-weekend weekend

Friday is the way


I have a very unsettling habit which started way back my high school days, which I apparently carried on till the present.


Friday night, the almost-weekend-transition-day-employees-often-look-forward-to for me is the official onset of my weekend, because that's the time when I begin to slack off at work. Yes, I'm far from proud of that particular attitude of mine but its not easy brushing off a habit which you have long been practicing.


My friday started with little or no plan at all, meanwhile the peeps from powerbooks are thinking otherwise. Around 4 in the afternoon, I got a message saying that the Diary of a Wimpy Kids' advance screening is set that night. Oh that message really whirled me upside down, as I've little cash with me and I could only expect moral support from my movie buddy who happens to be my little sister cause she has no cash herself.

As usual my mom saved the day, she dropped my sister to megamall just in time for the movie and grabbed dinner for us. I couldn't thank her much for making my life a whole lot easier.


Wimpy Wimpy tweening kids


I haven't finished the book yet when Ive seen the film. As opposed to my ten year old sister who's already done reading the first book, and almost halfway through on the second book (blame it to my volatile schedule and to the uncooperative PAs of the ones I should be having an interview).


The guy who played Rodrick, Greg's older brother is cute minus his punk style and misspelling of his own band name. lol  Superb is definitely not a convincing description for the movie, but fair enough. I couldn't say that its worth the 100+ bucks that people are to spend watching it, but I highly advice that they read the book instead.


Though its purely a book aimed to entertain kids, adults would probably appreciate it for the book would help them have a brief trip down the memory lane. They'd surely recall the days when they refuse to be called kids and immature when truth is they really are. The book's title has been my blog title's inspiration. I know for a fact that i'm not a wimpy kid but rather a whiny girl just like what Paoper used to call me.


Tweening is the basic plot of the film. The term coined by marketers to kids from 8 to 12 years old who're growing older than their actual years. Kay Hymowitz explained it better in  her article Tweens: Ten going on Sixteen.


Working on a weekend
Weekends are supposed to be the most relaxing two days of the past strenuous five days, at least not for me. Had to do some writing stuffs over the weekend, "deadlines don't go away unless you face them head on" just like what Bianca Consunji said in her former FB status. So I did confront those deadline and to my happiness it has lessened but as I was typing this words away, i'm wasting some precious minutes that I should be devoting onto finishing that transcription.lol Then I tell myself "I had to blog what happened and this transcription thingie can wait" the evil triumphed over the good haha


Here are some shots of the food the family gorged at Joey Pepperoni after the Palm Sunday mass.

Met a very interesting person last Friday, though I'm dying to post who he was I cannot do that for confidentiality's sake. Anyway, just watch out for my upcoming entries during the latter part of April to know who he was. :p
