Chronicles of Sunday Itself: Useless Junk
There is this constant whirring sound in my computer going on for days. It actually scared the hell of me because in reality, it might just explode any minute. Moments later, I'd be found blood stained and everything with the least of my organs flying freely in air. *Knock on wood* But then again, I am spared from my gory thoughts and thankfully, up to now, my computer is still well functioning and no sign of over-heating whatsoever. It's just the whirring sound stopping and going every now and then which I think is due to something inside the Central Processing Unit being tangled up. Talk about cleaning gadgets, I am too flunked at that. And no, I have no gutts to act like some Computer Techie because frankly, I might just get electrocuted along the way. Now that it still functioning as expected, I have no worries.
Well, today is just a regular-stay-at-home Sunday with nothing too grand at hand. My sister, after having begged my Mom kazillion times to have her hair cut and layered, had been granted her pleading to do so. As for my youngest sister, she is content having the GameBoy SP in her hands all day with variations of tapes to choose from-- SpongeBob, ScoobyDoo, FIFA 2006, Grand Theft Auto, to name afew. And for me, nothing really. I am content at how I waste my time in front of this computer doing zilch and probably contributing to the cause of Global Warming-- of which scares me to death because of the idea that we will all drown in some fifty, or less, years' time.
I begged my Mom that we check out the latest five-storey, Fully Booked outlet at the Fort. But much to my dismay, my begging was not enough because she (my Mom aka the Queen) is preoccupied with doing her exercise stunts, whining that she'd have to lose weight SOON. Ha! And now, considering that I am two pounds heavier than her, she decided to put me on some diet. Take note, she watches me like some murderer in jail, eager to escape lifetime captivity. Truth be told, I did gain weight over the summer and over the course of the two weekends of which I have to munch something all the time, if not I fall into the realm of some moody teenager. (And surely, you wouldn't want to see me that way!) So, as my Mom put it, I have to lose weight: SOON and NOW! It takes just self-discipline.. but thing is, I have poor self-discipline.
Looking on the brighter side, Egay has finally taken its leave along with the Monsoon Rains. I woke up with a partly sunny, partly gloomy weather today which made me want to curl up and wrap myself around thick sheets of blanket. The weather brushed away my eagerness and willingness last night to attend to my academic duties set for this day. Laziness I suppose but I'll get through it after lunch. Meanwhile, I spent an ample (okay fine, a LOT) of time last night to watch a couple of movies. Blades of Glory which was evilish-ly funny (though with a bit of sexual language content and some horrible gestures) managing to turn my usual bland persona upside down. Then, I tried to amuse myself with The Simpsons Movie because it seemed to have a caught a lot of the Y-Gen and some X-Gen but I simply dispise it. On my account, it was too shallow to be classified as comedy and too shallow to be appreciated and processed by myself. I had to admit, it wasn't my thing but it's good to know, that there were those who enjoyed it. Moving on, I had the chance to watch Evan Almighty which was the Great Noah of today's Generation-- a funny family film related to God and like my previous post, battling worldly desires.
If you ask me how I made up the most of my spare time this loooong weekend, most likely I caught up with things I wasn't able to do because of too many responsibilities to attend to in terms of school-related activities. Well, most likely, this week will be somehow hectic once again because of the rescheduled tests. (Pardon me for all delayed posts.)
