Don’t you ever have those days where you have so much alone time, that the demons in your head start playing racquetball with your idle thoughts? Today was like that for me. “Someone” is out of the country with friends and co-workers, so instead of marinating in my solitude, I decided to accomplish the long-delayed chores that have since built up because I’m usually too lazy to do them. Most chores involve paying bills, one of my least favorite thing to do. But at least it takes my mind off of the fact that I’ll be sleeping again alone tonight. Since I’ve been hopping from one place to another alone, I tend to talk to myself, and therefore arriving at many conclusions and realizing myriad musings previously unexplored. So in no particular order, here are but some of my random realizations:
1. “‘Money-out’ days like today remind me to be grateful for the ‘money-in’ days.” – I usually complain when there’s so much work and I get completely exhausted, but realizing the obscene amount of money you actually need these days just to cover the bare necessities, suddenly puts things into their proper perspective.
2. “Deciding to use the temperature word ‘HOT’ as a synonym for sexiness was brilliant in its analogy.” – Having seen so many hotties today made me realize that equating heat to sexiness is more apt than I ever realized. Just like in the literal sense, the hotter or sexier the person, the more you shouldn’t touch it. Large amounts of heat or sexiness is DANGEROUS.
3. “When you’re sick, the first person you seek is the person you love the most.” – It’s not necessarily the doctor or the most nurturing person in your life you automatically yearn for, it’s the one you love the most. And it’s not necessarily your romantic interest either. It could be your girlfriend, your mother, your varsity teammate, or manong guard, it’s not who can make you better, but who you get the most comfort from, on their sheer nearness to you.
4. “The teenagers you always see hanging out at the lobby of your condo, probably can’t stand their household situation.” – I always see the same kids lounging about in the lobby. They’re sprawled out on the sofas or sitting by the stairwell, heads bowed and buried in their mobile phones. Maybe they got nosy mothers, or they find their studio unit claustrophobic, but for whatever reason, they’d rather be anywhere but home.
5. “If they ever decided to make a porn parody of Kuya Germs’ TV show, a good title would be: ‘Walang Tuhugan’.”
There are way too many grammatical errors in this piece … otherwise, it was OK. The first should have been DO …. else, if the reader’s answer is NO … what’s the point in reading it? It’s not inviting. In Tagalog, it’s like asking “Ayaw mong kumain?” —-
Perhaps “way too many” is an overkill? I’m curious, how many errors are there exactly? If you would ask me, does it matter? I don’t think he wrote this for people to call on people to critique grammar, di ba?
It is apt for someone to say “You do this and that” and then follow it up with the tag question “don’t you?”. Using the question form “Don’t you do this and that?” gives the impression that you assume that the person does but you want to confirm it. You don’t know this, do you?
@Paulo
High five.
@Chico
I have one. I often think of what it’s like to punch idiotic people in the face just because they deserve it. In exchange, you have to pay 5 pesos as “punching fee.”
Biatch
Oh, sorry wrong spelling. It should be “bitch”. Bitch.
how sad that all you’re after in this blog is correcting grammars?.. Your name should be changed to Mrs. Auto Correct!
You can’t see the forest for the trees. This is the wrong blog for you to act that way, MrsG
and it really has to end that way. hahaha. nice one!
Hi! chico, am I just in an emo mode?, but seeing your post and your pic made me realize and also made me pause on how my life been going for the past few years, months and days. — awwww you made me sad =(
Ohhh..i love the “hot” analogy
and im quoting your HOttie analogy chico.thank u
)
That’s all I did today,” marinade in my solitude” instead of doing chores such as paying my bills because it’s my least favorite hehehe! You made me realize that I should be grateful I have bills I can afford to settle!;))
I should pobably get used to this, you start off with something really serious and end it with something totally out of the subject and really funny! Good job! Very sensible things to ponder!
I love the “marinating in my solitude” phrase!
and just like ayeth, i am quoting hot item #2
by the way, chico, i like….no, LOVE!….the way you write. *winks*
@dru & @Paulo.. i agree, as in agree to the bazillionth degree..
who tells us what to write about and how to write it?
blogging isn’t about grammar, it’s about self-expression.
though we have to be considerate of who might read our posts, grammar (for me) is the least of my worries, as long as the message gets across.
hell, i even write poems nobody understands about, but means a lot to me.
@chico you never fail to impress when in u are in ur “chico-mode” and not just posting vids, events or such. i always look forward to knowing what’s on people’s minds, esp. those i look up to
mabuhay ang pinoy bloggers!
p.s. awesome editing on the pic used **clap clap**
Ok. Ignoring the previous grammar rants and defenses aside, you, C, shouldn’t be left alone for too long if this is what happens. =)
But who am I to talk when I have a gazillion random realizations, not to mention crazy conceptualizations, as well. Or is that my muse whispering?
Anyway, if you got sick, here’s hoping you’re now well and fine. And, “Walang Tuhugan” sounds a little TMI, even for a married woman like me. Sabi nga nila, napaghahalata ka. =)
@MrsG – sorry pero, WA PAKELS!
hehehe joke!
U just made me cry Chico. Tears fell endlessly, I’ve been dealing with so many issues, thanks for wonderful blogs that inspire us.
to the hater, i say
who are you and how perfect is your soul to judge THE Phenomenal Chico Gracia?
