Do you have exhausting, but exhilarating and rewarding weekends?  Those are the Saturdays and Sundays when you have so much to do, and you’re so tired doing so many things.  But you don’t mind because you were in the company of good friends, good food, and good laughs.

This past weekend was a fun and crazy one for me.  On Friday, we went to watch GI Joe.  I remember watching the cartoons when I was growing up in Hawaii.  I watched with nine friends.  The next day, I conducted two four-hour workshops followed by an English club meeting that lasted till 9 pm.  Right after that, we headed to my condo in Eastwood City to play poker.  We even played blackjack and “tong its,” a popular Filipino card game.  Few of my friends slept over, and we woke up just in time to play badminton.  We played at The Zone in Makati.  It was great running into clients there.

Then after playing badminton, we decided to go back to the condo to swim at the pool.  Unfortunately, it was so cold, so we decided to watch a DVD instead.  We watched, The Happening.  We were all so sleepy and tired by that time.  Aaagh.  A sigh of relief.  A sigh of content!

I love weekends like this.  I’m exhausted.  But I’m also reenergized!!!

No matter what I do, I have never been fully productive on Sundays. It’s really lazy Sunday for me. I bust my ass working from Monday to Saturday, and sometimes, I have work to finish on Sunday, but I could never muster enough strength and sense of intellect on a Sunday. All my work on this day are always halfway done or haphazardly completed. There’s something about Sundays.

I tried to write a proposal.  I tried to post.  I tried to think.  I can’t fully concentrate.  Part of me wants to fight for having a lazy Sunday.  I deserve it.  I worked to hard only to have my Sunday taken away.  So my mind says, “You have work to finish.”  But there’s another voice saying, “It’s lazy Sunday.”

So I end up just surfing the net, hoping that I would get something done in the process.  What about you?  Do you have lazy Sundays?
