where's the good in a "holiday?"

no work today. okay, i did not go to work today because my stomach got upset from yesterday's sobrang kaon. the company i'm working for turned 88 yesterday and we had food all around us, as in all around us that everywhere you go there's food, and that even when i was already home i smelled chocolate cake (lol). but it was all good food, anyway. kanus-a man sad na nabati ang food, noh?
but, yesterday's eating binge still took its toll. today. so i took an emergency day off slash sick leave. i was already thinking of spending the day watching the rest of grey's anatomy season 3 that the good juter lent me; however, i never even got the chance to turn my tv on for what would have been a mcsteamy morning (and afternoon, if my problematic eyes permit) bec my dear mother asked me to do some shopping. great! i am never fond of shopping, and i'm never good at running errands. but bec i'm half good, i gave her the chance of her life to torture me. good thing, my tummy was doing fine later in the morning.
and guess what, what she asked me buy were taxiful of goods including some dish cabinet and that cover for leftovers thingy that although they were just light to carry there were so bulky like i looked like an idiot carrying them around metro gaisano's five floors (kitchen dep of this store is on the 5th floor). i am not a mother yet, so why i'm doing a mother's job? i.am.never.gonna.be.a.mom.i.swear!
picking the grocery items without a list is another story. and only junk food items is another...so i would not be burdened by their weight considering chips and all its allies in the junk food section are not heavy for me. but does she know more than P2,000 w0rth of chippy, clover, etc, can fill a good number of grocery bags??? oh, mother! i did not know it, too; hence, i fell in your trap.
ingun ana kawayok manugo akong inahan. and to think 99 percent of the grocery items did not go to our own house. so where's the justice there? but i never complained because i already did the other night over something so petty that it irked her pretty good. so i had to be a good daughter today, i even helped her cleaned up her place even if i'm never good at dusting and stuff like that. i finished this special task two hours ago, and even if i'm free to watch grey's now, my body is already tired and my feet aching from constant walking and standing. dr. mcsteamy can wait, anyway. right now i'm going to The Spa for a complete body massage. yeah! but that's like P1000, more or less (more if you can pay more). katug nalang, 'day!
