My typical Saturday starts at exactly midnight. I drink my favorite cocktail, a Jack and Coke Zero (Jack Daniel’s whiskey mixed with Coke Zero and lots of ice). Sometimes, while I’m drinking, I write in my journal, tinker on Illustrator, or listen to mellow music. Sometimes I do all of them. This is my way of celebrating the weekend.
After getting buzzed and getting creative, I end up sleeping late. In my current age, I can’t stay up late like I used to. Staying up late once a week is enough. My mind wants to go beyond that, but my body says, “Nope. You’re not in college anymore, boy.”
Recently, Netflix Philippines has been streaming WWE shows and PLEs (Premium Live Events) live. So, that means SmackDown goes live every Saturday morning, Philippine time. But the wonderful thing is that I don’t have to wake up early to watch the blue show. I can just watch it as soon as I wake up. I love Netflix and WWE for that.
Like I said, I don’t have to wake up early… but most of the time, I end up waking up even with at least six hours of sleep. For the rest of the day, I have time to meet with a friend, read a book, listen to music, get creative again, or simply go for a walk.
There was a time when my Saturday was not like this. I used to waste it with oversleeping, and that literally hurts my head. Now, every Saturday, I get enough sleep, wake up, and then simply enjoy the rest of the day. That doesn’t sound like a fun adventure for some, but for me, I’m happy with my typical Saturday.
