Whoever invented that Snooze mode in the mobile is a genius. Aww
poor me, even dragging myself under the shower in the mornings has become a chore.
This is really isn't me… Seriously ummmm, me on totally
de-bloated hormonal-rage-free days, which means roughly 7 days in a month. *wink*
But in a workplace where the news about employees benefits and
annual vacation are more stressful than your job, these crazy cranks make me
sane.
Take a bite and indulge:
· Doing
nothing. E.g.: Just stare and stare blankly - on your line of
clothes in the clothesline for 3 days and ask if they can't really find
their way back into the closet in a neat pile according to their color,
classification and length of sleeves. If they can’t, so be it. What’s the
pressure for little things if it won’t send you to jail or earn lashes?
· Unsubscribing
to some of FB friends' posts and activities. Admit it, there are people in
your FB friends list who by turn of events, you’d like deleted from the list
but doing so will be rude, immature or will make you feel bitter, blah blah.
But, their every minute posts, quotes, mobile uploads, likes, parinig
and etc, just waste the space of your homepage. Some you want deleted in your
life but that would be too harsh – because the world does not revolve around
your selfish whims. Click unsubscribe button. If you’re comfortable enough
block him/her, if that blocked friend finds out and asks, just say: ‘Ohhh, I
just deactivated my account. Security threat (ala Kate Middleton), you know’.
· To
just look and say nothing – to people you are already tired of or people
whose opinions and stories don’t matter anymore. Risk looking stupid
sometimes than waste your time and emotion.
· Try
Arabic food or Indian food even if they are served in wide tin plates and
you have to eat by your bare hands. Foreigners also
wrinkle their nose to our Dinuguans and laugh at our Champorados.
You wouldn’t know food by look or by opinions of others. They are not always as
bad as their reputations. If you want to spit out on first bite at least you
have first-hand account how bad it was to your taste buds.
· Doing
something unplanned. E.g.: Dip in a pool or swim completely unprepared.
1) Getting home with your completely unruly sun-dried hair and eyebrow-less face
will be the day you swear you never want to bump into your boyfriend's ex, but
we have to shed off the cosmetics once in a while to have real fun or for the
inner beauty (or concealed ugliness) to come out. 2) Getting in the bus with
your shirt taking the shape of the wet upper undergarment is laughable but
laughing with friends and with one another's bra size is double the fun.
· Leaving
work exactly on time. And leaving the worries and stress by the office
door.
· Doing
something just for the pleasure of it - like buying a ring and wearing it
while reading a book you also just picked up from the bookstore.
