How to have a bad-and-then-good day...

step one:

immediately after you open your eyes from slumber, grab your cellphone and play Super Real Tennis.. play and play until your arms experience fatigue.. stop when you have had enough of losing to those one-inch pixelized tennis players..

step two:

go to your dining room and let your acid-covered stomach be greeted "good mornin' mate!" by an empty table..

step three:

feel like a hungry pathetic loser who was just hit by a cellphone game with a tennis racket..

step four:

grab your cellphone that just rang, and take a look at the text message, which reveals that you should go and find a place, like a beach resort, where your family could spend 3 days and 2 nights of semi-summer vacation this weekend..

step five:

if your mother offers to cut your fingernails and toenails for free, say yes..

step six:

buy at the small food stall at the back of your house some sweet and spicy sauce in squid balls and onion vinegar with lumpiang ubod..

step seven:

prove to your seemingly not-really-a-friend friend that you are a true friend..

step eight:

write about it on your blog.. like this.. duh?
