Remember this Ad in RPN 9???

And who could ever forget this classic Holiday Coca Cola Ad??


How to get rid of Last Song Syndrome ( LSS)

Posted in Humor, Personal, Uncategorized on May 14th, 2010 by Joan Mae – 2 Comments



Yea.. Im talkin about that song stuck in your head since 7 o clock this morning. Others call it earworm. You didnt mind it at first but it pops all of a sudden and youre starting to get annoyed.

We all have that problem, well, its not really a problem, but hey, when youre trying to concentrate on somethin and you couldnt think hard coz of the blasted song playin once again, specially when the tune is really crappy but you end up singin and humming it anyways, is somehow irritating. Say, right now, I am havin a battle with Justin Beiber’s ” Imma tell you one time ” and Im starting to really get sick of it.

What to do , what to do :

Step 1. Turn ur Radio/ CD/ Youtube / Ipod and play that song OVER and OVER and OVER – until the damn tune leaves your head .

Step 2. Play another song - If step 1 doesnt work and the sticky tune keeps on playin still, play a song you enjoy listenin.

Step 3. Sing it out Loud – Give it a break. Let it out! Even if you think the song is gay, sing it with full volume. Tis probably the reason why it keeps repeatin itself coz you wont give in to it, sing it once and for all.

Step 4. Control your mind and get over it – Do somethin active and think of other things. You will never get rid of the tune unless you command your mind to do so.

Downtime- What I Do Offline to recharge

Uhhh.. Just the other day, one of my friends randomly asked me ” So Joan, tell me? What’s really in your life other than youre “so-called” life?? ” The “life” he was referring to is the life of  constant emailing/chattin/status updates/online games/ Blogging/ browsin and the endless things one can do while infront of the computer. Forever logged- in in Facebook doin just literally nothin.

So to keep it short, my friend adviced me to “GET A LIFE!!!.. a REAL LIFE!!”


* And at that moment, I just wanna stitch his lips together so I can shut him up*

But I answered him ” Excuseeee me punk?! I have a life , I just know how to  do a lot of things in little or almost all at same time… coz Im super!!” and in seconds I saw his eye balls rolling.

So here’s what I do when Im offline :

Walk around – Sunday is when I need so much personal space  coz its the time of the week that I wanted to be alone. Watch the movies alone, or eat in a restaurant alone. * thats when u get those weird looks, I dunno if people are being weird, or Im lookin weird, Im not sure which is which. But yea who cares.

Read magazines-  I dig Cosmo, Teens and Fashion mags, Men’s magazines . Understanding the male brain , tee- hee. Just to get even * evil smile*

Girlfriends + Mall Sale = Fun Shopping – Yea…  Girls will always be girls, we love shopping. And if anyone says she hates shopping, let her die.

Starbucks + Cigz  + Some Girlfriends EMO = Drama in the coffeeshop - This is the perfect place to get emo with your girls. I have been invited countless times to coffeeshops and listen to another friend bitch about how troubled her love life is. Haha. And u sit there still for the next 4 hours , alternating sip and puff and nodding once in awhile because you pretend that youre  listening .. Well, its a two way thing, I listen when they make drama, and they listen when I make drama. Hahahaha, I love my girls, they remind me of me bein a woman. Coz of the drama. :P

Be one of em’ Boys – So to forget that Im actually a girl. I  hang out with some guy friends and get a bottle or two. * Or make it a bucket *

Go on  a Booksale – its just heaven when u brought home 4 books for just a couple of hundreds. * and stack em up in your bookshelf *

Watch a Movie – grab one of my friends and go straight to the cinemas. Or if we’re broke, then we’ll settle for the DVD, movin around find a bootleg and then pop on chips and soda at home. Yea, the couch potato. Lols.

Be Vain * once  in awhile* – lather on cream , oil on ur skin, lavender-scented candles and BAM! instant spa at home. But I hardly do this.  Just once in awhile coz I dont wanna spoil myself too much.

And while I do the things above, I keep thinkin what my next article is, or whether or not my emails have been replied.. Or do I have any new notifications..Uhg, some twisted  online addiction.
