sem break log: day 3

my life is as boring as hell.

well, maybe not as boring. actually, i don't even want to think what hell is like. *babble babble* anyway, as it is, my life is boring. period. i sometimes wonder, "am i such a loser that i don't have any social life to speak of at all?" as i convince myself it isn't so, things fall back into place, the same as before. still as boring as something so boring.

before i let my sem break turn into a pattern of sleep, eat, tv, and pc (which isn't bad at all, just that i want to do as much as possible before classes start again), i've made a little list of things i want to achieve during the break, probably around half of which will be achieved at all:

1. learn basic web design and change the layout of this blog
2. read at least 3 novels
3. finish at least 1 rpg during the break
4. visit a mall and watch a movie at least once a week
5. finally learn to drive flawlessly
6. exercise or work out
7. learn to play an instrument
8. buy a gift and think of a song
9. get my hair cut

i'm also accepting suggestions of other productive things to do. things online, things to buy, anything. heck, it doesn't even have to be productive. can't be picky anyway.

as i read the list over and over, it dawns on me how much obstacles i have to get past in order to achieve these, and how futile most of these goals are. my computer skills are up to scratch. my ps2 is insufferably glitchy. i hardly have the financial resources to visit a mall, much less buy a book or a gift. i might as well rule out the new instrument part right away, as i'm sure it would take more than 3 weeks for me to learn one. driving requires my dad and the car, and exercising requires me to get tired.

i am hating my hair right now. not only is it getting long, itchy, and unmanageable, but i don't dare cut it because i have no idea on how i want it to look like. i have no artistic vision when it comes to my hair, i'm clueless as to what looks good or horrible on me. i can't use gel properly to save my life. just about the only thing i can do right is shampoo it. i know i sound pathetic, but that's the least of my worries.

well, ranting isn't getting me anywhere. if i want to achive any of these, guess i have to start now. time surely isn't running in.

if there's a will, there's a way. thank goodness for clichés.

nyahaaha... risky ang spiky eh. pano kung hindi bagay? e di matagal pa patubuin un... sinasabihan nga ako na ipatrim ko nalang eh.

and again, the use of gel is a skill, not a talent. something i am both unskilled and untalented in. :P

well, you could start with the rpg. and do a few sets of exercises (or better yet, workout :-D). For the instrument, you could try guitar (if you dont know that yet). If you do, then you dont have to learn to play a new instrument (flutes, harmonica, <b>piano</b>, etc). Then finish the rpg and read the novel, at least a chapter a day, before you go to sleep.

The mall and the movies can wait.
