it's been a looong day for me :) we went home at around 6:30pm. instead of heading to the venue of RCG Illinois team building this coming Saturday (jake is a member of one of the committee so he has to attend the meeting) he's also our official driver so we have no choice but to wait for him ;P hehehe i know, i know...that's just the way it is, we belong on the same car pool so we hafta compromise and respect each other's whereabouts. anyway, that's fine with me. :) we had a smooth ride on the way home. i enjoy the cool wind brushing my face from the car window. luhv it! :) i did a lil camwhoring on the backseat coz i just feel like it. hehe ;P and i'm alone in the backseat coz bernard went with cholo's group to garden fresh. so there! like a paparazzi i took pictures of almost anything i found interesting ;P anything goes! blurry, dark, bright, colorful and monochrome! ;P i took some videos too.. :) but i jst uploaded a few pleasant ones in my photobucket. just check it out. :P finally we're at arbor so we parted ways. i have a different apartment from jake and randy..as well as bernard's. well, the routine is (from Walgreens) we drop off bernard first, then me, then the two guys (coz they're housemates). but on mornings, i join my housemate jen's car pool with bert.. yeah, i'm sharing 2 carpools (it's the most convenient way for all of us anyway) ;P so my morning car service is a chrysler and my afternoon service is mazda 6. :) naks! well, either way i'm enjoying a smooth ride so thanks to jen and jake! :) when i went home, jen (my housemate) still wasn't home. i just headed directly in my room. first things first, turn on my laptop hihi. after a few minutes i received a call from randy inviting me to stroll around arbor lakes. yeah, jake-randy-carla tandem. we're buddies eversince our flight to japan-illinois! :) we're cool! hehe! sun still shines (yeah at 7:25pm! actually the sun sets at 9pm. which explains that days are longer during summer) and seems like a good weather to stroll around arbor lakes.. :) chillaxing, we stroll around the neighborhood. we went to arbor lake's club house..take a look at the gym..pool side..tennis court..the neighboring apartments as well as the neighboring village. :) yeah chillaxing on a chilly weather. hehe arbor lakes is a beautiful and peaceful place..green and clean! :) we enjoyed strolling around that we're planning to do it often after work. we're also planning to go to the gym or go swimming at the club house just to relax after a long day's work. that's nice! and hopefully we will be able to do things together as planned. we share lotsa stories while we stroll..we laugh our hearts out and enjoy the scenery around us. :) c-h-i-l-l. on our way back to our apartments we passed by tin®'s apartment. we invaded their place! haha! we had a lil chitchat, a snack hehe, and again camwhoring! hehe. we we're planning to watch Dark Knight on Thursday, have a team party at tin's place on Friday (it's nice coz they have a balcony and room space is wider to accomodate the 12 of us). is it a drinking spree session? or a videoke session? we still dunno :) hopefully plans will be finalized by tomorrow. :) But we can't stay up late though coz we have RCG Illinois teambuilding on Saturday! :) On Sunday, the 12 of us will be going downtown via train! weeeee! :) shopping time!!!! After going to Tin&Reg's apartment, we passed by Chris&Lawrence apartment..and we decided to drop by! again! at 9:30pm! nyaha! we went home at 10pm. jake and randy dropped me off at my apartment and went home. funny coz we walk briskly and took short cut routes on the way to my apartment coz we can't stand the chilly weather. they're both wearing shorts and i'm wearing a capri. perfect for the chilly weather eh? hehe ;P i wonder why summer could be this chilly...feels like early spring! :) anyway, have a chilly and starry night! :)
