That Human Connection

This must have been a very busy sunday.

Or not.

At least for me.

I spent the day feeling lazy and drowsy. Mind the rhymes. Of course, people who knew my insides perfectly well would definitely say, "So, what's new?"

Then again, today is a special case. I slept late after our planning session which ended at 3 in the morning. It was one of those crucial but fun night outs that we do in church. It was a party-business meeting-joke time and everything else rolled into one.

I would have put up an all nighter watching DVDs afterwards like we usually do, but since I have work the next day, I had to sleep even for a few hours.

I actually expected a really busy Sunday. I work only until 12 noon every Sunday and usually spend the rest of the afternoon doing paper works.

Today was different. Not that I don't have any paper works lined up, I actually had a few. It just seemed like today was a really lazy Sunday with nothing to worry about except how to breathe properly and eat properly.

If you think it was a great Sunday. Think again.

It was pretty boring.

I would have preferred to roam around the streets of the metro looking at the strange and fun human activity most people are doing. I would have preferred talking to someone and unearthing the secrets to life.

I especially craved for the latter today. I really wanted to talk to someone. My sisters were busy doing school work while my brother's busy reviewing. Everyone was too busy to talk to.

I tried texting people. It was in vain though. I actually assumed that people would respond more on weekends than on weekdays. Actually, it turned out that no one would reply to any messages you send on any day of the week.

I see the real difference a year or two back when I had more than one conversations going on in a day. Everyone seemed to be hyped when receiving a non-sense message. A conversation was easy to get from heart to heart talks to sharing corny jokes and one liners.

Nowadays, people seemed to have forgotten that the small hand-sized gadgets they have are primarily used for communication. Most people tend to have little time to have a conversation with other people.

Okay, I know I'm over generalizing. Maybe I've tried to contact only a few people or maybe I was way off timing. But still, I crave for that time when I could converse with someone and would get reasonable if not logical answers.

Don't mind me, I'm just ranting. It's a lazy sunday anyway.

  1. Don't blame the laziness on a Sunday. =x Nananahimik yung araw eh.

    I don't know, and don't remember if I was one of those you tried to contact, but maybe take also in consideration that you still have friends that are not yet working and not fully independent, and cannot afford to buy load. And when they do manage to have one, they try to preserve it for as long as possible (1 month now hahaha).

    But then again, maybe you should take up more hobbies. I have so many hobbies right now I can't find time for reality. =x
