we had shutdown maintenance in the office last sunday. i only worked from 4am to 9am... i had no plans to do that day. so, i hit gold's gym right away. i stayed there for like few hours to kill time.i did indoor rowing for 6o minutes. i did cycling for an hour. lift weights for like 45 minutes. stayed in the sauna/steam room for 20 minutes. took a shower for 30 minutes. while doing all these, i thought of what to do next. since, the gym is just near the mall, i headed to it and started "malling". first stop:Fruit HAven.i had a banana flavored fruitshake with strawberry flavored designer whey protein powder and started walking around.sightseeing, people watching.window shopping. 2nd stop: Powerbooks.i picked some interesting books and magazines, stayed in one corner and read.i took notes of some important tidbits,trivia,quotes, etc.i didn't notice the time. when i finally felt kinda hungry, i went out of the bookstore and went straight to "The Coffe Shop" and had a taste of their baked macaroni with toasted bread plus H2O. 3rd stop: Odyssey Record Bar. i checked out the latest cd's . i listened to Ne-yo, Chris Brown, Jason Mraz, John Mayer and even Miley Cyrus (my niece Jade is crazy about her music)i also listened to Sitti's Christmas album, Rico Blanco,EHeads,C.Bautista. when i'm finally done, i went out. to my surprise, there was a free concert at the activity center of the mall. it was Ogie Alcasid, promoting his latest album. I chose a nice spot to have a good view of the concert and started listening to his music. He rendered OPM. soothing, relaxing pilipino music. compositions by rey valera, george canseco,ryan cayabyab, louie ocampo and of course, his own compositions. The man is truly one of the best singers we have in the music industry. he also has good stage presence and has a great sense of humor. he made the peole laugh with his antics and when he sings..he does it with ease and effortless. after the show, i went straight to the church and heard mass. that's how i spent my day. that's how i was able to kill time.
