Downtime- What I Do Offline to recharge
Posted in Personal, Rants, Uncategorized on May 11th, 2010 by Joan Mae – 2 Comments
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.
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.
