What do you usually do when you had a free day all to yourself?

I had a batch of plans in my mind—grocery shopping, going out for a jog, visiting a photography exhibit, and recording a ukulele cover. And looking after a stray cat is nowhere in that list.

Seven years ago, when I was one week into my first job and fresh out of college, I had the privilege to join a team building in Zambales, Philippines. We were thirteen fresh graduates and all newly hired. Almost everyone joined, because who would not if it's an all-expense paid trip, right? Imagine, at that time, I still had no idea how the corporate world works and my mind was still having post-college blues. Then just when I was just warming up at the company, we drove 5 hours away from Manila to have fun, and relax. (At that time, my cousins are still not used to me saying "I'm at the office" instead of me saying, "I'm at school." They would tease me for it telling me, "Wow. May pa-office office ka na ngayon ah.")
