My life should be interesting

Journal, Personal

My life should be interesting today….I saw this line in Book Calendar and reading that line, I felt a bit of jealousy to this blogger. I never used the phrase in my post ever since I started blogging, and I swear I never said it in my entire life.

If somebody asks how my day was or how was my weekend, I usually say fine or “good,” which means to me, okay I survived my day, and I guess I will be going to survive the next day.

Or the uninspiring response “same old, same old”, I got that from my boss, and it seems like it becomes my favorite response, every time he asks “what happened to you this weekend?”

Isn’t it is sweet if I say “Oh my life should be interesting today?” If anyone asks me, and I follow, “I learned my very first song in my guitar lessons today, or I signed up in a gym, or I stray in the heart of Toronto’s most exciting streets with a map in my one hand and my camera on the other hand….my camera? Oh yeah, I forgot it appears that I lose my camera. I haven’t seen it for some time. Sigh!

 

I was all but loaded with miserable antics, then again, last Wednesday night (or is it Thursday morning?) when I slept at 4:30 in the morning and at 7 AM, I needed to start to work that I realized I am so unkind to myself. Depriving myself of a good or long hour (or enough) sleep is appalling. No wonder I always feel so shattered.

And no wonder, because I am talking about “I”, that I made a resolution. I said, I want to be free from “residual matters”, I want to feel better, no, I want to be happy and I want to make, if not every day, at least my days out of work interesting. I should start with my sleeping habit.

In two nights, prior tonight, I slept earlier than my usual sleeping time. A toast for me. I can excuse myself tonight, since I have no work the next day.

I will see if my tomorrow will be interesting. I just hope so.

Shinade, Hi! Did you know that you’re a savior? I was about to point the gun in my head when I saw your comment lol! That’s a joke of course, I will never do that.

I was actually taking pills (some time ago) and it aids me a lot, but maybe the pills had made me so forgetful that I can’t remember the brand name, so I can buy a new bottle again. Yeah I guess I better see a doctor for this sleeping problem. Sigh!

Thanks for the comment Ms. Wonderful Shinade. :)

Everyday is a new day to start kapatid. Sometimes our lives are so boring (take mine for instance) that we tend to fixate on things. But the truth is, what makes it boring is our lack of enthusiasm to live our life to the fullest. May everyday be an interesting day for all of us. I love this entry of yours, it’s so positive.

BTW, what happened to your manilenya.com?

What happened to my manilenya.com? I don’t know lol! One day the browser is asking me to install WP and I did, I input my details but it can’t read my databases. Since then, I never did anything to make it work again. Maybe I’m too tired to fix it, or maybe I need somebody to fix it for me. I just don’t think I want to fix it myself for now.
Do you see how laid back I am in blogging nowadays? lol

haha yeah, I noticed. I thought you were in hiatus or something. I’ve been there before but the only solution I use is to stop and pause for a while. Then when the energy is up again to blog, I kinda take the advantage and become prolific so as not to have those uninspired moments again.

Sayang naman. Try to ask Kotseng Kuba if you are close to him, to fix that for you. He is so good with these things. That Manilenya.com is already your soul in the blogosphere.

bluep,

lol! I am always online, it keeps me company but I don’t post that much, tapos ayan dito, I post from time to time, yung alam kong nobody’s reading lol! e biglang me nagcomment lol! honestly? wala na kong maipost dun lol! My employer’s reading that blog and asking me an English translation of some Filipino words lol! They have a friend who’s married to Filipina, so maybe she knows what I am blogging about. But that’s not the reason why I don’t want to fix my dotcom. Laid back lang talaga ako ngayon :)

Hi, I bring my bullet-proof vest, but your monkey is pointing to my head, so I’ll comment because I need it (my head, not the monkey).

Why don’t you try to find something you would really like to do? I mean, an activity which when you are not at it you can’t wait to start doing and once you are doing it you are unable to notice how the time goes on.

Paint, write, run, hike, bike, bail on parachute, volunteer at your local hospital or fire station. The possibilities are endless indeed.

If you need to interact with other people in real world, friends, a boyfriend, a group with similar interests. Being the internet savvy person you seem to be, it won’t be difficult to you to contact somebody worth meeting.

Your problems and your solutions are just a few keystrokes away ;)

Tony,Yeah, you really need your head. Hmm, I was looking for a frog, but frog can’t hold a gun, I need to do it in Photoshop but I’m not good at it so I let the monkey do the job. (I miss talking to frog eh, lol!)

I had that all in mind except bailing on parachute, I’m afraid of heights. The problem is everything’s on my mind only. I really need to poke myself hard to move lol!

You’re wrong; I have difficulties to communicate with others outside the net. The last time I met somebody; I just sit there and set my eyes outside where I can’t see that somebody’s eyes. I am too shy in person.

Start little by little. Communicate only on the net at first. Let trust build up and only meet in real when you feel it’s the right moment. But whatever you do, ALWAYS look right on the eyes of the person you are talking to.

Yeah, and that right moment told me that, that was the first and last I am going to see a person I met online lol!
But don’t get me wrong, I got to see a lot of people from the net when I was in my country. This is different, I’m in another country, and I’m still not accustoming to communicate with other nationalities.
When I’m in Singapore, I get to speak with different races living there, but I prefer to stay at home and not mingle that much with others. I need to change, I know.

Thanks for the compliment. Sometimes life is just very busy. I am doing what I like to do most of the time. There is a famous quote “May you live in interesting times.” Part of being interesting is that you are doing what you want to do. I always wanted to work with books and information, I find them fascinating and that is what I do with my time. Interesting is also a two edged sword, interesting can be stressful, challenging, and demanding.

Part of this is knowing and fixating on where you will be in three or four years and fixing it in your mind enough that it becames an assumption and a habit to work towards where you want to be.

Book Calendar,

That means to say, that thing that you want to do and that things that you enjoy doing so much will also be your bread and butter in the future, that’s how I understand it.

I know what interesting things that I really want to do, I am still picking up the courage to get them in my bowl.

Thank you for a very nice comment.

Mariposa,

Thanks for happy thoughts sis, I like that one….GREAT! :)
