i'm glad to be almost completely out of sick bay and feeling a lot better.  it took quite some time for those meds to take effect, but at least they did.  in fact, i'll be heading back to the gym after my shift in a couple of hours and get right back at my routine.  even with the looming dreaded trip to the US next month, things on my end are kinda turning for the better.  i guess it's life's way of saying, "ok, i'll let you have a little fun now, but remember, your trip is coming soon, so in no time, you'll feel miserable again" (insert evil laugh here).

probably one of the things why i feel kinda positive these days (with emphasis on the word kinda) is that i started playing christmas songs on my istereo (a cheap name i coined up when i started hooking up my ipod two weeks ago on my car stereo instead of playing CDs) last saturday night (sunday early, way early morning) while going to and from work.  i actually wasn't aware that october was only a day away until i glanced at the calendar.  realizing that christmas is merely less than 100 days away had a positive effect in me, obviously it being my favorite time of the year.  which reminds me to start with my list of people to give gifts to and to canvass potential gifts as well.  i guess a trip to greenhills tomorrow after shift would be a good idea.

also, upon arriving home from work sunday morning, i was surprised to find DVDs of the whole six seasons of dawson's creek sitting on the computer table.  apparently, my younger brother borrowed them from his friend and, judging from the entirety of the series, it'll stay with us for a very long time.  i know, i know, you might be surprised to find out that i watch–well, used to watch–that series.  ok, for the record, i am a creek addict.  there, i said it.  i was a big fan of the show.  why?  i don't know.  i was just hooked on it the moment i saw the trailers leading to the pilot episode.  am i able to relate to any of the characters?  i dunno, maybe.  although i lost track of the series during the third season, i think, due to work.  now, at least i can start everything again from season one.  i haven't started watching it though, maybe during my days off or some days after going home from work.  yipee… 🙂

after watching resident evil:  extinction and being awarded for being nice last week, yes, things are kinda looking up.  might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts…
