im filled on monday-thursday by work + working out, friday is for mandarin session + getting drunk, saturday is for my close friends, and sunday is for running house errands. i know i've been desperately wishing for a boyfriend but i really dont know how i'd squeeze him in. unless we live together which we know by now is really the start of fucked up relationships i'd have, so we might as well dismiss the idea.
i love being busy. i feel so bad if i've got nothing to do. i always look for doing new things. today i tried doing the airsoft wargame and boy it felt so good. it's like all my depression has been shot away together with the bb bullets. it feels good to shoot someone, with pellets of course. more stories about that tomorrow when i get the pics.
anyway, since i've been gone for two weeks, i'll give you one of my most memorable experiences. TOLEDO. it would have to be one of my best destinations to date. moscow was lovely with the red square but other than that it's still one densely populated city. madrid was ok but you see some vandals in some places... but toledo... aaahhh, you just won't run out of good things to say. every turn is really picturesque. and i am not even exaggerating!
I am very poor with directions. I went to Toledo with a huge map only to find it more of a disadvantage. That bloody map was really confusing that I was lost for 3 hours before I reached the center. I was that poor with directions. I literally walked the whole expressway and ended up on the residential area until someone came to help and pointed me the way. Thank god for nice locals! The expressway walk was ok. I was able to take photos while walking. It’s like walking in a very old city that you see in the movies. You see castles, brick buildings, and everything is just yellow. But boy when I reached the center, the feeling is just much more than your average orgasm. It’s that overwhelming. It’s like being in a set of a period movie and you find yourself looking for people in corsets and carriages because you’d be convinced of the backdrop. The ayuntamiento was good, the alcazar was lovely, the infantry school was marvelous, the museum was quaint but delightful… but these are nothing compared to the cathedral. I’m not a religious person but once inside that super grand cathedral, you will feel the blessings of heavens. It’s like the beautiful works of god has been concentrated in that place. You will get intimidated by the luxury of the church and royals from way back then. It’s like you despise them for being too luxurious, but you love them for having exquisite taste. If not for it, how can you see such beauty in your lifetime?
I kept walking the whole day. I only stopped when I had the asian buffet for lunch. I know it was a stupid thing to do, but I was really craving for sushi at that time. It didn’t fail me and I was able to eat as much sushi and sashimi to my heart’s content.
It was raining on my way back. Good thing I checked the weather and I was able to bring my compact umbrella. It was raining really hard so imagine me in my wintercoat, freezing, drenched and walking fast because I was afraid to miss my train. I was walking for a good one hour and I just made it in time for my train.
I wish I can tell you what a beauty Toledo is but even though I say one hundred positive words I guess it will not be enough.
