hp4 the movie - after AGAIN plus friday's climb

it was a very lazy saturday for both cy and i. after sleeping most of the day away, we finally went out to have dinner at galleria's rai rai ken. i had the wrong item from the menu ordered but cy was so thoughtful (like he always is) to switch ramens with me after noticing that i barely touched my bowl. after that, out of nothing else to do, we watched harry potter for the second time. there are some movies that you appreciate more and more after watching it several times, especially one as visually stimulating and intellectually challenging as hp. on the second roll of the film, i got to notice more and more details that i might have not paid attention to before as on our first watch i was intent on understanding the dialogue. the movie finished late but we still had some time to have tea at the podium's branch of cafe breton's. the weather was chilly and i was glad i was wearing my new jacket (again, courtesy of cy) which was designed to fend off the cold. we had hot tea, a mango, and a strawberry crepe. we walked the rest of the way home and i was glad to have some form of exercise (albeit minimal as it might be).

my muscles still ached due to our wall climbing session last friday. we were 9 all in all, my officemates and i and we proved to be one noisy bunch by the time we got to power up. it had been a long time since my last climb and i have gotten extremely ill twice this year already that i was almost doubtful that i'll get to the top. but all that went away when i was the first to reach the top. i had already made 4 climbs and 3 climb downs when cy and miguel arrived (just to watch). and i decided to climb the left walls which were more challenging since the wall slanted and there were cut-offs. i felt a bit sorry for ehmil who belayed me since he was constantly being teased about being beaten up given he let me fall. hahahha. it was hard and i was out of breath 3/4 of the way but i pushed myself to reach the highest hold. since cy was there. ^^ i wanted him to be proud of me. and he was. i beamed when miguel said at the bottom that i still had it. anyway, more climbs are being scheduled and i'm hoping to be able to climb the rest of the left wall by february. and the right walls? hahha maybe i better not think of it right now. yes, my muscles still ache but i don't mind. i can't wait for our next climb on friday!
