so what did i do while waiting for my passport to be released yesterday?
i hung out at hyde park, david jones (equivalent to phils' rustan's), borders book shop, angus & robertson and starbucks. i had a good time =) feeling ko para akong inday na nag-day off hehehehe.

i took a couple of photos at hyde park. i tried my best to capture the beauty of the place, hoping that the photos would turn out as alive as it can. had i had our Kanyon* with me, i would have probably took better ones. but this will do for now.
in times like these, i really miss having Kanyon around...di bale konting panahon na lang at makakapiling ko na siya.

after hanging out at sydney's most beautiful park, i went inside of david jones. it was my first time to go there. david jones has all the high-end brands you can think of. most of the time, kuripots like me don't have any bag with them when they go out of the store. highlight of my visit here was a trip to their food court na hindi mukhang foodcourt. it's foodcourt but the prices of the meals aren't "foodcourt-y". strike 2 for kuripot me. i decided to eat at a different foodcourt so i can have starbucks after lunch. i seldom spurlge on food when i'm alone, i believe it's more worth it when you have a friend whom you can share good food and great conversations with.

after lunch, i indulged myself in the company of books so i went to borders and angus & robertson (2 bookstores!). silly me 'no? i finally had the chance to roam around the city, but i spent it with books! my passion for books is back so i'm on the lookout for recommended books i've been reading about online. after an hour or so, i left angus & robertson smiling coz i was able to find "the time traveler's wife" by Audrey Niffenegger.

my last stop was at starbucks. i've been craving for their new york cheesecake for days and i just had to celebrate my day-off with two of my favorite companions: starbucks' cafe americano and cheesecake. i savored every sip of my coffee and slice of my cake while reading pugad baboy 19. the latest issue was sooo funny i didn't care if i looked like an idiot laughing at what i was reading.

it's nice to have days like these when you feel like you're the most unhurried woman in the world, when you feel like time is just watching you enjoy your moment. for a busy woman like me, it was a gift!

*Kanyon - name of our DSLR (from the root word Canon hehehehe). Chris and I baptize all our gadgets with names as if they were our kids. Kanyon is lovingly being taken cared of by his daddy at the moment dahil si Chris ang nanalo sa custody battle ng "anak" namin hehehe.
