eye candies and the like.
"its just that i think its really important to have that one little thing for you to look forward to each day in school so you won't feel so bleargh and crappy each morning when you wake up. so people, moral of the story - get an eye-candy if you wanna survive school."- i got this from yuhanis' blog
then i thought to myself, HOW TRUE. when things in school are starting to bore yu to tears due to its habitual way of functioning, or when your teacher's a crashing bore but sadly there's absolutely nothing yu can ever do about it, yu should resort to getting yourself an EC to survive the mundane jc life (sorry, justin!).
the overwhelming stress level in school can really cause yu to feel aged and un-driven, so once in a while, yu'll need to excite your senses through cheap thrills. one very simple way of obtaining your faint, momentary stirs of happiness is, to get yourself an EC. when yu catch a glimpse of your EC, yu'll be able to feel a wave of exuberance surging in yu, and that alone is enough to make your day =)
your EC need not be a somebody in school. all he/she needs to possess to meet your requirement is simply to have a face that yu should enjoy looking at. that's it! it's as easy as ABC, with no frills at all. in addition, yu can choose to switch your EC to another person if he/she doesn't appeal to yu any longer.
but do take note of certain points after getting yourself an EC!
#1. your EC must never find out about the perpetual glances yu may cast at him/her. yu cannot afford to come across as desperate! your EC can be a friend, but don't ever let the person know about the liking yu have for his/her face.
#2. like what my chem teacher used to say, "less is best". so, avoid letting a ginormous group of people know about your EC. rumours circulate like wildfire and people may end up thinking that yu actually have feelings for your EC.
#3. although fewer is better, yu can allow a few people into your little secret. but of course, that's if yu place your trust in the goodness of their hearts that they'll never spill the beans. don't keep the good things to only yourself - share them with your friends. after all, a sweet life is a shared experience =) and don't forget, they can help keep a look-out for yu too, so doesn't it make life even sweeter.
#4. lastly, yu cannot give yourself away by acting too awkwardly whenever your EC's around. refrain from blushing or having weird movements, yu won't want to get unwanted attention. also, warn your friends to avoid teasing when your EC makes his/her appearance or your efforts will go down the drain. threaten them with a knife if yu must. but i believe in the goodness of human nature, and assume your friends won't let the cat out of the bag since yu've already placed your utmost trust in them.
disclaimer's note: your EC should only be someone in school who brightens your day. yu must
not develop feelings for him/her, and end up liking the person. or worse, let it become an obsession.
so don't worry, justin! i still love yu. haha =)
so when everything's dull and grey,
get yourself an EC today!
