you know you need to get a life when...

(added sept 22, 2005) you start getting excited to open your yahoo email -- because it sounds so happy to see you: "WELCOME TONI! you have 354 unread mails." and it greets you by name too, every single time! (glad to see you too, dear yahoo! wow, i made a rhymie! =)

your idea of a conversation is making a blog post and waiting for someone to actually comment on it. (obvious ba na I’m fishing for comments?)

your idea of a real conversation (meaning with a real living person) is standing in front of a mirror and exchanging pleasantries with the person who looks ridiculously just like you. (hey! I like your shirt! You know, I have a shirt just like… hey, wait a minute!)

your idea of a bad day is getting irritated by the person on the other side of the mirror because he keeps on doing exactly what you are doing. (are you some sort of a wacko? stop that! and don’t talk when i’m still speaking! ‘y I ought’ta! )

your idea of cheap thrill is holding out your finger just above the water of your aquarium hoping that a hungry gold fish would indulge you, play along and actually try to bite your finger off. (here boy! here boy!)

your idea of a workout is intentionally doing laundry by hand even when there’s a perfectly working washing machine that can do all the work for you. (I never thought washing jeans could be this healthful.)

your idea of life is what you see in reality tv, where a person can date 10 people at the same time and end up as a millionaire, where you get the best advise about being a guy from guys who like guys, where makeovers are free (and suddenly, you’re a celebrity), and where matters of survival like gathering food come in thematically prepared challenges.

your idea of a lucky day is spotting her among a crowd of thousands, people all wearing green and white, and seeing her with that proverbial smile of hers. (ooh! ooh! there she is again! there’s ate ria and Jackie too! Animo La Salle!)

you ever do get out of the house and go to school, 93% of the people you meet call you kuya, 5% ask you, “what are you doing in school mr. cuesta? Taking up a masters degree I presume”, 1.5% don’t want to see you at all, and .5% say “haha, ikaw rin. Ang tagal na natin sa skul toni!”

you try to have fun by over-exaggerating (over na, exaggerated pa) your current situation and hope that people would find it funny even though you yourself think it’s pathetic.
