[ summer vacationitis]

It's been only a week and two days since summer vacation but I already feel oh-so-bored. I'm online almost everyday for the whole day, I've made a couple of rounds on Blogspot already, and I've tried several things on bored.com. Still didn't work.

So how do you kill it? You wish for a break, you get what you want, you wish you could do something for a change. Happens to everyone. I once came across a story on this (read: fiction) which called that kind of boredom "summer vacationitis". I don't think that's the correct term for it though. The suffix -itis, I know for a fact, means "inflammation". No, you do not get fired up when you're bored. Or do you?

The past days have all been the same. Wake up at around ten, turn the TV on, watch cartoons till lunch, turn the PC on, surf some sites for the next five hours, take a bath, get back to the PC and surf some more, turn PC off at ten PM. Then go to bed and not sleep till twelve AM due to insomnia, and wake up again at ten AM. I know I could do something about it, but I feel really lazy. I'm probably going to start working after Holy Week, around April 8. Today is March 23rd. TWO WHOLE WEEKS. No way!

So this is going to be a less productive year than last year, which was the most I've done for summer. Last year, I:

* got into a sport which for once I love, soccer;

* took swimming lessons for the second consecutive year, and did well at it;

* got to level I at Kumon Math, which is a year ahead of my high school curriculum and considered as a real achievement for me seeing as it's MATH-RELATED (!!!); and

* developed my personality through public speaking

Last summer was also when:

* I made a lot of friends and met a lot of new people;

* I got to try different cuisines;

* I learned how to not be nervous when in front of an audience;

* I lost a few pounds - finally;

* I managed to successfully follow my work-out routine for the first time since I became body-conscious (sit-ups, push-ups, weights, hahaha);

* I actually HELPED with the house chores;

* I first read Dramione fanfics and really got to liking them;

* I made this blog;

* I really planned out my school year and got through with it;

* I was actually productive;

* I attended four summer classes (see above); and

* I really LIVED and LOVED summer.

This summer, I'll be busy with:

* packing;

* sorting what to bring and not to bring;

* selling my old stuff;

* cleaning out my room; and

* throwing unnecessary trash away.

Heh, heh. Compare that with last summer and see what I mean when I say this one is boring. On the other hand...

* packing is actually fun;

* when I'm sorting my things I'll get to see all of what has accumulated through the years (i.e. memories);

* selling old stuff is doing something productive, plus it'll be awesome to have a look at who'll be buying what;

* I'll get to see what my room actually looks like;

* unnecessary trash is really unnecessary, so no big deal; and

* I'm going to get another summer in Canada anyway, and I'll have more space and time to work things out and maybe continue what I did last summer.

In the meantime...how do you kill boredom? Tell me.

"Boredom is not an end-product, is comparatively rather an early stage in life and art. You’ve got to go by or past or through boredom, as through a filter, before the clear product emerges."

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

ole!
first of all, a big shout-out to the person who made this layout, therefore enabling me to post more frequently (hooray!), BEEKEE. thanks a lot!

moving on...

this is my own personal space, where i write down everything i can think of to write. please take note that i update irregularly - like i will be on hiatus for a while, and then make two posts a day. right now i am on my two-post phase.

also since this is obviously mine, i would like you to know that this is a free world, and that i am entitled to my own opinion. therefore this blog is solely for myself and my purposes ONLY. flames are not accepted, since there is nothing to flame about.

however, comments will be greatly appreciated. :)

i am loving the song when the stars go blue, therefore it is my layout for now. ask me later and it'll be different. :) i'm proudly pinay (with a little spanish and chinese descent on the side), and proudly bedan. this beloved blog of mine has been up since the eighteenth of february two thousand and six, but i have made other blogs before that. i write purely to let my feelings out and/or to keep my memories. someday i'm going to write a novel, but right now i'm concentrating on growing up.

thank you. bow.
