things-i-shouldn't-do checklist
So far, I’ve jotted down my to-do list for this month’s big move. Unfortunately, that’s all I’ve done. I stare at it while working on headlines and name studies this week. I can only do so much to appease my supposed-to-be-stressed self because really, multi-tasking isn’t one of my favorite things lately. Juggling office work and pitches when my co-writer has resigned before me as well as taking care of my resignation clearance are too tedious to be true. Trying my utmost hardest to spend time with good friends and dear ones after work is also taking my mind away from all my self-imposed tasks before my departure. Procrastination always works for me, I say, but I guess this time around, I should break the habit and be more active in dealing with life’s stressors.
Last night, I watched “The 40 Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs… Ever”, a DVD of “Me, You and Everyone we Know” and part of the “G.I. Joe Movie” in the 80’s with Tatoff and some officemates. Instead of buying a bigger luggage, having my hair relaxed for the first time, shopping for more decent office wear and hoarding on derma supplies, I opted to be a parasite of couch potato in other people’s homes. Cheapskates will always be cheapskates, that’s why I decided to accomplish all those vanity trips here in the Philippines.
Nonetheless, I don’t regret watching that 2-hour VH1 special that opened my eyes to all the nonsensical and outright stupid lyrics of some love songs I hum on a melodramatic Saturday night. “Me, You and Everyone We Know” wasn’t that bad either. It opened my eyes to the fact that ‘pooping back and forth’ can be a reality. On the other hand, “G.I. Joe” was too boyish-childish for me and ended up not opening my eyes but closing them.
So that’s where my Wednesday went. Today is another day to be productive and hopefully try to tick some points off my Things-to-do-before-leaving-Pinas list. Hmm let’s see what’s in store for me today. For work, I got event name studies, headlines, and taglines to write. After work there’s my college friends drinking spree-slash-despedida in Greenbelt tonight. Thursday will soon be gone so tomorrow maybe a good time to start. But I’m too excited because my officemates and I are hitting the beach this weekend! Sheesh I’m so inefficient.
Earth to self: You have 21 days left. Start doing your gazillion things-to-do list, dammit!
