Sleepful nights, Exam-free days, Morning smiles, Best days for TV, Restful afternoons, Endless hang outs, Always Online and Kahirapan :]
After the sleepless nights of homeworks, lazy afternoon quizzes, early morning routine of enter-the-class-not-late, crazy school requirements and mind-blogging examinations -- a motivation has been looked forward to ever since school days began -- SEMBREAK !
But what is there to love and to hate about everything that sembreak hands you down ?
Sleepful nights :]
This is one of the best reward you can get after surviving all the hell weeks and the hot waves of school. During sembreak, you can sleep all day and sleep all you want without hearing familiar statements like "Hey. It's time to wake up sleepy head. You got a 7:30 am class. You forgot?" or "Do you want to be late again? You told me that you'll be dropped already if you get another Late" that would shatter in your ears and end your wonderful dream and sleep. Oh well, now that you have no worries at all whether to wake up early or late, you're so free to have that happy ending to your dreams and finally get the sleeping hours you wanted all along. But hey, this isn't good all the time. Sadly, too much of sleep will give you headaches that will bother you the whole day through. And of course you'll get saggy eyes and that eeew round dark circle just below your beautiful eyes. Hahaha. Would you like going out for the day with that? Oh oh oh. So better enjoy the opportunity to sleep just the right hours to avoid inconveniences. Hahaha. :]
Exam-free days :]
Yeah \m/ just in time that your brain cells are about to die because of the end term exams. You need this badly, right? And I would love to agree on that. Hahaha. It gives you all the opportunity to enjoy that feeling of relief that even though you may not performed excellent on the exams, what's important is that it's over at last. Hahaha. You never have to worry again what exams to take the following day or cram to whether what to study first. What's better to call it might be Stress-free days. Right ? But on the other hand, it gives you that strange excitement while you wait for your results and grades while enjoying the said exam-free days. It seems like you knew you did not-so-good but believes that "I nailed it dude". Whew. Worry starts to cling onto you. Don't deny it. :]]
Morning smiles :]
Was it because you are free to wake up late ? YES. I know that would be it. And I believe that as you get up from bed you would just like to whistle and sing The Lazy Song as if you're having your very own music video. You can just smile every morning as you wake up without worrying what time does your wall clock tell you. You would just walk out from bed, still with a big smile and end up enjoying brunch while everyone in the house starts to get busy for work and other matters. You can just laugh at yourself and sigh "Oh I'm so free. I love waking up late and enjoying the day not like these people around me." But right after you think you are just so free of everything, a close friend and sometimes a spectator you call Mom would think that you are just getting so lazy and timid and would actually start telling you to to this and do that. Hahaha. I know how it feels to do such errands. You would actually think "I just hope I'm in school again to run away from this." :]
Best days for TV :]
You're feeling like the boss of the house, sitting like a prince/princess, drinking hot coffee and holding the TV remote as if there's no tomorrow and smiling like heaven. Hahaha. And there goes all your favorite TV shows you missed and you love but got no time to watch it during class days. Yipeee. Yes you are enjoying it but here goes again Mom, telling you to stop and do chores. And you turn from a big wide smile to a heavy frown. She might have a point. Watching TV all day would just make you timid and weak and would cause too much stress to your eyes. And more, your electric bills would start to shoot up. Well, watch it accordingly and go get yourself a good day. :]
Restful afternoons :]
Oh who would just hate a good afternoon ? Well, you just got the freedom to enjoy siestas and afternoon snacks. Have some coffee while you watch a good movie on DVD. Who would not say it's a good afternoon? Hmmm. More, you can do your thing, read books, play video games, call a friend, and all other stuffs you missed doing so. A perfect get away from all the afternoon that your eyes would close during a class until you realize you just woke up when the class is dismissed and leaned NOTHING. Hahaha. Now, you can do so much every afternoon. You can eat all you want while you enjoy doing some stuffs. But hey, didn't you just forget about eating too much since you're enjoying it too much ? You'll be getting fat friend. Hahaha. You got lots of calories getting inside your body while here you are, just sitting down, doing nothing so active. Nah. You might as well get your butt off and do some active thing. Hahaha. Enjoy. but see to it you're healthy. :]
Endless hang outs :]
Now you've got the time to send a group message in Facebook or via text message to your circle of friends and tell them "Hey would you like to go out and have fun?" Perfect, isn't it ? You can bond with friends again, talk about a lot of things, brag about experiences and share miles and laughter once again. You can just hang around town, Starbucks, McDonald's, malls and the like. Name it and you can be as free as you can be, smiling without worries from homeworks and required papers from your terror professor. Some would be out for clubbing, enjoying friends' company and having some cold drinks with a lot of dancing here and partyin' there. Much fun I believe. But after which, you get to think of all the pennies that got out of your pocket. Hahaha. "Have I just spent my savings? Oh M." Well, well, well, you did. And you would go home and would not think that you're having lesser time with your family ? Aaaw. You better be good with balancing it -- balancing things right for good. :]
Always online :]
Who would not get online in the world of social networking sites when you've got all the time in the day to sit and share ? Hmmmm, I guess everyone's enjoying this for now. From online friends of 85, you go 200 and over. Yes, everyone's getting online everyday just to check the latest posts from friends. Hahaha. Everyone's going YEAH \m/ sitting in front of their computers, striking their keyboads with the speed of lightning and clicking SHARE and LIKE infinitely. Hahaha. I don't know why so many people don't get bored easily when they are just checking this and that and looking at their monitors like hell for the rest of the time? Pffff. Maybe that's just the way some are getting so used to the felling of "I need this to get through my day". Well it's good also that you get to connect with a lot of friends who you can't see temporarily since school is out. But hey, TOO MUCH is NOT healthy. You may get red eyes, back pains and other related syndromes that you may get with sitting in front of your friend Mr. Computer and Mr. Facebook for excessive hours. Moderate use will always be good. Try to look at something green once every other time you feel you need to. It helps. :]
Kahirapan ! :] (Poverty)
Why Poverty? Yes, with a long free days of no class, it means that you are as well deprived from extra allowances or shall I say DAILY MOTIVATION called BAON. Yeah yeah yeah. Most students hate this one and I disagree to agree with that. You get to rely on your personal savings and do that puppy-dog-look in front of your mom just to ask for money to get you through your to-do list for the day like watching movies, hanging out, buying stuffs and more. You get to be wise enough to make your money work. Hahaha. Isn't that ironic? When you got the time to enjoy a lot of things, that's just the right time when you can't. Pfffff. But hey, you learn to be thrifty enough to achieve what you want. just look at it at the bright side and smile. :]
The last one for me would be this ...
Not seeing your best of friends. Pfff. It's kinda boring you know. You would really miss the times during class when everyone sleeps and nobody listens to the teacher, the times when you can just dare yourselves to cut classes and do lots of crazy stuffs. I missed them. Hahaha. I missed eating at the cafeteria. I missed strolling around malls whenever we got no class. I missed the sweet scent of happiness when I'm with them just by being candid and fun. So ironic. Just when you are excited to start the sembreak, you would suddenly think about school again and how it is fun to be in it again. :]]
