Tidbits in Bullets 4/52

[melodyofmysoul]

This is delayed by a day since until yesterday I was recovering from a horrid 39-degree fever I got over the weekend. It is no one's fault but mine, since I ate a load of sweets the week before and I went out to meet friends on Saturday which made everything worse for my body afterwards. No regrets, though.

Last week's highlights

• I attended my first ever major concert!!! Last October, when my sister and I learned that Manila was going to be one of the stops for ONE OK ROCK's 35xxxv tour in Asia, we immediately hustled to buy tickets. I decided to go for VIP Seated and my sister just followed suit. XD The band did not disappoint in the least! They were so amazing, getting the crowd to sing along and jump and raise our hands and what-have-you. Taka's vocals were always on-point, not a single note out of place.


• Early lunch last Saturday was spent with college friends! I wasn't able to see them last Christmas so even if I wasn't in perfect shape in the morning I figured it would still be best to get together with them. (Also, I was quite sure that whatever I was ill with was not viral in nature.) We had lunch at Din Tai Fung, and had very expensive xiao long bao because truffle and pork. The best part of lunch, though, was being regaled with stories of their Japan trip a couple of months back. That definitely beats expensive xiao long bao.


• After lunch, I trooped to the nearby mall to have second lunch/dessert with Judith, thelittleone, and Pam. We ate at a place called "Maple." Best. waffles. ever! But good food is made even better with excellent conversation, and there was an abundance of it. Topics ranged from my sister's numerous GIF-able faces to why Pam thinks "Blue is the Warmest Colour" should not be given the title of the best lesbian film ever.


• Saturday night until Sunday (and all through yesterday) was spent at home, save for the one hour that I attended Sunday mass. My body temperature shot to 39-degrees. O_O I really must reduce my intake of sweets.

This week, I'm looking forward to...nothing, at least for now. I don't have anything planned for the weekend that doesn't involve people from work. They're nice enough people, and they do their work well. But I wouldn't classify having to spend time with them beyond work as something I'd look forward to.

This week, I'm half-dreading...the release of the JLPT results online. There's only less than 12 hours to go, and frankly I don't think I'll pass. But I'm still hoping for a miracle.
