Monday Morning Blues
Didn’t really intend the title of this blog to be negative. In fact, overall, I had a pretty good weekend. I guess the “blues” part of it is associated with getting up at 315am and going to work. Would have loved to haved stayed in bed and snuggled up closer to Decy. Regrettably we had to get up early (early for us) both Saturday and Sunday.
The weekend started on a bit of a strange note. Decy and Nathasya were interviewing at a Media / Advertising company … with the intention to see what types of work was available. Aside from commercials, movies, etc., they talked about magazine spots and modelling shows. The agency wanted to sign Nathasya up for a 5 year contract. We couldn’t do that, however, because she is still under contract with RCTI TV for about 5 more months and would have to pay RCTI a commission for any work she does. Plus, we don’t expect Nathasya to be in Indonesia for 5 more years. The solution was to go uncontracted and do miscellanous activities until the RCTI TV contract expires.
So, after the above … Decy and Nathasya changed clothes at the house and came to the office and collected me. We went to Benihana’s for dinner – my first time out (here in Indonesia) in many months. We has sushi, sashimi and stuff like that – not a heavy meal. Afterwards, Pak Yono dropped Decy and me off at the Ritz Carlton – Club Mistere and took Nathasya home. I was pretty tired already … so it didn’t take much to wipe me out. Nevertheless, we had a good evening of music and dancing – only the 2nd time since 4th of July last year.
I woke up at 7am Saturday and found myself completely dressed (still) and on top of the bed cross-ways. Decy was at the top of the bed, also cross-ways, trying to be under the covers. So, I got up, undressed, and we both crawled INTO the bed.
By 9am Decy and I were both up. I headed to the office for work and she went to the salon and then to the studio for a shoot. I came home around 6pm and took it easy …. sort of fell asleep watching TV (was going in/out of alertness) – Transporter 3 when to my surprise around midnight Decy came home. We chatted then fell asleep.
As for Sunday, we were up bright and early around 8am …. Decy went to the gym for exercise at 1030am while I had a nearly 3 hour massage (wahoo !!!). After Decy’s exercise she went straight to the studio. I, on the other hand, had lunch with our house guest (who then needed to go see a relative in the hospital) and then went upstairs to our exercise room.
I have done very poorly exercising lately due to the long work hours. Nevetheless, I did 30 minutes on the eliptical machine (tension setting of 7, 1-8 scale) and turned my legs to rubber. Then, I got on the treadmill and TRIED to run. I wobbled along at a pretty slow pace but slowly regained my strength and continued until I had completed 6.25 kilometers, which took a dismally long 50 minutes. Oh well, better than not running (ahem, maybe walking) at all.
After the exercise, I cooled down … did a bit of work and then turned on the PS3 …. started watching Hulk. To my very pleasant surprise Decy made it home about 8pm. We ate dinner together, watched Hulk II and crawled into bed about 1030 or 11pm.
I guess I could have gone to bed earlier …and really did have plans to do that … but with Decy beside me, I just enjoyed the time together … holding her hand while watching the movie.
Hmmm … its 452 am … and Wiwik just told me that breakfast is ready. Guess I better eat.
Ciao ciao (no pun intended). GBU.
