Weekend　/　Maricon

Weekends I can say is just the start of my day. This is the day that I will do all the things I didn’t do for the whole week.

Starting Saturday morning will be my wash day, and then in the afternoon is my clean up day (cleaning my room). Sometimes I will watch movies in the evening. Sunday is my family day. We usually go to church and get together with my family. In Sunday afternoon we usually, Watch movies and do some window shopping. In the evening of these days will be my time to go in front of my computer to do the things I didn’t do for the rest of my weekdays. Sometimes an unfinished work or sometimes extra work for my extra curricular activities.

Weekend is like the day that will complete my unfinished works, my unfinished business. I can do all things during weekends. Sometimes had some dates with high school friends or even go to beach with old friends. I really enjoy weekend coz it complete my whole week. During weekend, I’m with my positive friends. We’ll chat and update ourselves; we’ll talk anything under the sun. Sometimes this is the only time we can chat regarding our love life, secrets or even family matters.

Weekend is like the symbol to start a new beginning.
