BUM LIFE: A Sluggish Beginning

Vacation is a trendy word for rest. Usually “Rest Time” is only good for 2-3 no-labor-days or in schools they have it max to 30days. What comes next to vacation is what 20ish individuals call the BUM LIFE, where you get to have your unlimited no-school-work-days, wakeup-late-with-brunch-serve, 24/7 internet surfing and anything you want to do! Isn’t that the nicest music you’ve heard in your whole life? But when will you put a deadline on this slothful living? When is the right time to walk out of this man-made-heaven?

Who are those people living this kind of life? College Graduates seeking for a vacation after a 4-year-struggle on their studies, unemployed, terminated workers/ employees, slacker, couch potato, rich kids, sick people and bludger or maybe anyone who just wanted to get out of their restless life. But I’d like to focus on graduates.

What’s the best part of having this kind of living?

You can take your biggest break EVER. With a well-planned life, after graduation, some goes straight to the real world and work their asses out to earn.

The Drawbacks of Parting Ways

When tragedy happens, and relationships end, there will come a time you’ll remember what happened but you have already forgotten the feeling, or maybe if it still lingers in your mind, you’ll just sit and watch yourself regret. When you thought memories will all just fade easily… you’re wrong. Memories linger in pictures, conversations and even in your everyday life. Separation is the worst nightmare of everyone. And dealing with these things is the most difficult thing.

How do people deal with break-ups?

Sometimes we see someone cry because his/her partner broke up with him/her. But do we really know what they think, and what they feel? No. We don’t.

We just tell them, “He/She loves you, you both know that, but there are things that aren’t totally meant to be.” Or the mighty tagalog phrase, “Malay mo may darating na mas lamang at mas mamahalin ka…” or maybe some futuristic phrases like “Someone better will come to find you.” “God has a better plan for you. He might be still in the middle of writing your destiny.”  But how sure are you? Have you been talking to Mr. Cupid lately? Hm, I guess not.

What do girls and boys usually do after the break up?

GIRLS:

They eat a lot. They eat their stress away. Many girls believe that eating is some kind of stress-reliever whenever they feel blue. And eating sometimes causes them to feel bad for themselves and realize that they deserve something better. Buffet and dessert-devouring maybe are just part of their ways to forget things.
