there are days when you dont feel like dressing up,going out, interacting with people, answering your phone and text msgs or simply you are too lazy to do anything at all, right?
well here are the things that ive tried and tested to make my 'badtrip' day go away:
- first, eat a good breakfast. i usually eat a lot during the morning, then less towards the end of the day, coz basically we need more energy at the start of our day than by the end of it. Lafang galore pag morning!, nakakawala ng bad mood yan, kase pag ang tao gutom mas magiinit ang ulo, my favorite is peanut butter with jelly sandwich then mango juice or fried rice with danggit na may suka, pagkatapos sabayan mo ng yosi after. Perfect!
- look for a comfortable outfit and shoes. common sense, hindi na nga maganda ang araw mo, hindi pa kumportable suot mo e di mas lalong badtrip yun!.. i go for my knits na manipis lang ang tela kase comfortable or a really light shirt to go with my cardigan and shorts.. and my favorite shoes, my battered Gola slip-ons
- drink coffee. they say na coffee daw eh mas nakakainit ng ulo, i guess not for me, kase pagbadtrip ka, mababa ang energy mo so to boost it, coffee is the answer, try a Caramel Frap from Gloria Jeans (my fave) or Green tea Latte from Starbucks.
- look at your old photographs (i.e baby pics, HS Prom pics etc), nakakatawa yun. it is always nice to reminisce, especially pag nakikita mo na mukha ka palang tanga nung Punks ka pa nung HS or when you see pictures of your friends you havent seen in a long time. who knows?, baka sipagin ka pang hanapin sila sa Twitter or FB and catch up with them.
- read a book or a magazine. when im sad i always read the novel of H.F Saint entitled 'Memoirs of an Invisible Man'... may mga nakakatuwang moments kase ang book na yun kaya i always keep it handy...or i read the back issues of Reader's Digest especially ang 'All in a Day's Work', nakakatawa ang mga jokes and stories dun.
- eat 'dirty ice cream'... why? kase nakakatuwang isipin na kakain ka ulit ng isa sa mga pagkaing kinakain mo nung bata ka pa. think of your childhood friends na uhugin while licking your ice cream, masaya yun!
- and lastly, try to smile.try to make another person's day brighter by complimenting them, a simple 'Ganda ng shoes mo' or 'Love your bag' can make a big difference, at pag napasaya mo ang ibang tao, mas doble ang balik ng saya sayo...
SMILE =)
