Thou Shall Not Let Laziness Get the Best of Me

(Segue) What I learned today: 

1.Ukay dresses/clothes have no sizes.
2. Nice Ukay counters would check the quality of the apparel your buying and would unsolicitedly seize the purchase from you even if you're not convinced of its damage.
3. Worse, they'd rip the dress in front of you just to prove their point and rub it in. So that's what "marupok" means, the heck.

Indeed, one needs to be cruel to be kind.

(Main Story, which is totally unrelated to my segue.)

"Napapagod ako eh." Was the excuse I told my friends when asked why I had to raincheck for the 2nd consecutive day this week.

"Kailan ka pa natuto mapagod??" Was their reply.

That made me laugh, BIG TIME. Kailan nga ba? I was so used to being overworked, overstressed, underfed and sleep-deprived.  So much so that even if all energy is sapped from me, I can somehow: drag my butt all the way to UP to tutor Econ or Math, travel to technohub to help a friend out with his/her thesis, replenish my body with enough kilojoules to do a night jog around the acad oval, take time to meet up and comfort a friend in need or be as perky as possible and join orgmates in drinking and merrymaking at Spazzio, Tkick, Drews or what have you. Take this, I'd even attend unplanned overnights. Point is, even if I end as early as 5pm or as late as 11pm, sumusunod ako NO MATTER WHAT.


So what happened? I'm not sure, let me think out loud.

1. Recently, my finances have been diverted to other stuff (ie. travelling, my new phone, shopping..etc).
2. It's only now that it sink in how incredibly near my workplace is to my house. Ergo, how hassle it is to travel and gimmick so far away from the vicinity.
3. Lunchouts, gimmicks and after work life with my colleagues have increased exponentially this year. To say that we became more clingy is an understatement. No complains here, it's real fun being with them even if they tease me a lot.
4. Finally, I learned how to say tinatamad ako and let myself give in to sheer laziness.

I do miss spending almost everyday with my UP friends/orgmates and I do my best to catch up at least once a week now. But somehow, its getting more normal for me to say no?

"Na-outgrow mo na college life mo!" Exclaimed a close friend.

Maybe, maybe not. Or maybe that wasn't even it in the first place.

Before I go, let me share this thought which bothered me a while ago. I realized, that from being such a workaholic, which was somehow coerced in my previous work environment, I found myself startled when I looked at the clock a while ago and realized that its almost 2pm and I HAVE NOT HAD any materiel output yet. As in NONE. So what did I do: surfed the net? Tweeted? Updated myself with NBA news? Read the news for most of the day??

Note to self: Thou shall not let laziness get the best of me.
