Sunday Routine. 84

I used to love watching movies. I used to love watching these at greenbelt cinema. I used to do this with my significant other.

But now, I just can't do it. I'm afraid I can't bear the pain while watching without my partner nor the idea of doing our exact used-to-be-sunday-routine with someone else.

Every Sunday, we had this routine and we always find time to make this routine be happened on any given Sunday. We used to start our Sunday with a pretty good workout at the gym mid afternoon. Then swim at the intercon pool (but not all the time). Then we used to have some good dinner at a fine restaurant at greenbelt 3 (my partner had this cravings of trying unfamiliar dishes at different restaurants) - the last time we had was at Mr. Rockefeller and it was amazingly one-of-the-best. Then after dinner, we used to play at timezone (Oh, how I miss Dance Revo, Mario Kart, etc). Then, a good movie to watch, of course. We always watch the last full show and while waiting for the movie to start, we always look for some good dessert - the last one was with Coldrock (expensive but worth it). Then after movie, we used to stay at Starbucks 6750 for an hour to chat before going home. I miss this routine and it's gonna take 84 days more before we can do this again.

Today is Sunday. But, I didn't even bother to do this routine. I can't do this alone, and most especially with someone else doing the exact same thing. Instead, things have changed a bit. I had an hour workout earlier at the gym, I didn't swim, then attended the 6pm mass at the greenbelt chapel, then stayed at powerbooks for hours reading lots of good books (the last book I read was "A Life in Dubai" - a pretty good book but not really the best to read on). Then I went to my former office colleagues' flat in Makati and stayed there for a couple of hours. Then I went home and watched TV.

I know its hard to shift routines especially when you're used to it. But, we couldn't deny the fact of life that we have to be very flexible enough to make room for changes. I know this change is just temporary but, in time, I'll get used to this. 84 days is still a long time and still a lot of Sundays to enjoy this new routine alone.

I miss everything. I miss you.
