ok since i was tagged by avaris, in all good blogger neighbourliness, i shall respond to the tag. If you didn't already know, its on plhu's blog.

Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.

ok this is gonna be embarassing. I don't usually tell people a lot of what i do when nobody's around. But ya, i am essentially a boring person. But really this list isn't the limit cos i am firstly mostly not at home. Secondly, when i get bored, ill go find something wacky to do.

1) The usual, take a good book and read it. Lately it has tended to be self-help books although fiction is starting to creep in with the increase in spare time due to the holidays.

2) Stone in front of the computer playing silly stupid games and wandering aimlessly through cyberspace a la the hitchiker's guid to the galaxy. And yes if you are wondering, I do read news on soccer and play a fair bit of Football Manager. And when the seasons change, yes you will see me hitting the respective websites of any respectable brand be it sports or luxury etc. Ya, and partially this goes into blogging too.

3) Binge. Yes i binge. When i am bored, i keep on thinking that i am hungry and i promptly empty the fridge. And not stopping at the fridge, maybe the entire kitchen too.

4) After Bingeing, ill go straight to a workout. Cos i realised i over eat. As masochistic as it may sounds, i have a set dumbells and also a good pair of Asics running shoes. Swimming and sports are also my thing, but i end up tanning like crazy after 1 hour of swimming so i tend to avoid the pool whenever the sun is up.

5) Sleep, Everybody needs a good dose of sleep and rest. Usually the days i am free are days after i have been running around the whole day.

6) KTV. Yes i sing KTVat home. I don't have a KTV set but well, ill just listen to the radio or my comp and blast eardrums of my neighbours. So far nobody's complaining.

7) Rant and think of particularly murderous thoughts. Well, this happens when i am so mad that i am incapacitated. Well, ya everybody needs an outlet, and mine is usually quite variable. I take it out on either myself physically or verbally on the blog in secret places. Used to be on this blog more often but now ill just let it out in another space so that i can just view my thoughts and words with retrospection and reflect on them.

8) Think. Ok this is the hardest to say it out cos its quite abstract. I mean by think as in i'll like think about hypothetical scenarios and then play it out in my head with all the various permutations and combinations etc. And then think of solutions to solve it. That is just one facet of thinking. Others would include like just pondering over things that have had an impact on me etc. Sometimes, logic and reason come into play when my irrational side is taking over quite badly, so i have to think in order to suppress this schizophrenic nonsense in me. One side feels so angry, the other tells it to cool it.

9) Pray. There is so much thinking that one can do. And there is only so much help one can get from one's brain alone.

10) Creative work. What i mean by creative work is painting, cooking, composing music or lyrics or poetry etc. Anything really. But i suck at it though. Just a stupid person thinking that he is of superhuman ingenuity and can creat works of art marvelling on genius.

Well, thats it folks, for now that is, another post coming up tomorrow morning. Have something to say
