Back to Blogging (and the perks of being a bum)


I owe this little guy some serious writing when last year, I mentioned that I will take him out of snooze world and share some of my misadventures but all I did was the opposite. So baby, here we are again and we're back to blogging...

Oh boy, I just called my blog 'baby'.

But what the hell. I'm single, I'm out of work (I just quit my job last month) and I'm living a bum's life with a few cash in my savings account but oh yes, I'm loving every single bit of it.

So here's some real perks of being a bum. Now I don't recommend to my 8 loyal followers to quit your jobs and follow my lead but just in case I convince some unfortunate wayward soul who get to read this crap and follow my lead, below are some delicious gravy you'll get once you choose to make yourself an ass of a bum:




1. No more dragging yourself out of bed every morning because you no longer need to get to work at 9. Don't you just love curling around your bed, morning breath and all, and stay in that blissful state when the world around you begin its daily morning ritual of rush hour traffic, people hurriedly walking in every direction to get to their offices and you, running late for work. Bonus if you have a warm body to curl up with. Would be such a bad idea to leave your guy or gal cold in bed just because you need to go to work.





2. You'll no longer have an excuse to skip your workout or early evening jog because you have all the time in the world to do that which by the way, will make your muscles and running shoes really happy.





3. Number 2 is really for health buff bastards (God bless their souls) but for lazy ass like you and me, you'll have more time to splurge on TV, video games, some little porn and ice cream and potato chips in between! Think about it, you can have DVD marathon from sun up till sundown just because you can. Don't you just love the idea? It's like having cherry whip vanilla ice cream and unlimited butter cookie all day minus the unnecessary calories.





4. If you're a book person like me, you can go back to reading the books that are gathering dust in your bookshelf. Let's face it, having a full time job tends to withdraw you from things you love to do like reading. But if in case you can still find time to do the things you love while juggling endless paper works and deadlines, I hate you! But seriously, nothing beats a good read and a sip of frothy iced coffee during those lazy afternoon without thinking about next day's work. But I guess this is boring for some so let's move on to number 5.





5. Which is picking up a new hobby. I'm seriously thinking of taking dance class or dating every guy I meet online. Wait. That's not a hobby. But anyway, having all the time in your hands will give you the opportunity to start doing new things. Plus, it'll keep you sane in case you feel like hanging yourself in the bathroom for being out of job.





6. You'll have more time to spend with your loved ones. Imagine: movie dates or night stroll with your boyfriend or girlfriend, catch up dinner with your best buddy, not missing your nephew's children's party, beer session with dad or helping mom plant new daisies in your family backyard. I'll skip the last three I think and go for movie dates, night stroll and catch up dinner. These are healthy activities which help keep relationships stable and happy. So bless you for having more time to spend with your loved ones. I know you missed your nephew's children's party at some point because you're stuck at work. I missed my niece's party once and she never forgive me after 3 years (just kidding)





7. Best of all - no more demanding bosses, tensed meetings discussing action plans and bitchy officemates whom you really don't want to work with. No more end of day reports or deadlines, analyzing figures that wouldn't really help solve world hunger or dismal stat reports that makes you feel like you wanna shoot yourself by lunch. Believe me, I've been there and having not to think of it all feels... liberating.


So, wanna bum around? Just give me a call buddy and I will be your bum date.
