Happy Sunday afternoon from this side of the planet, my friends, how are you this gloomy day?
Well, for me, I have just finished washing the dishes of our dogs, and these dogs are outside, exercising their limbs by running around and playing. Later, one dog will knock on the door or some with just open the door and come inside. Their siesta comes when all of them are inside.
.
That is their routine. Well, like me and some persons as well, we have these routinary activities that we do, day in and day out.
That’s life. We can however, deviate our activities from the normal routine but at the end of the day, we will think of what we have done as part of our existence.
I may get sleepy later because the climate is so conducive to nod. Well, all I can say is: “THAT’S LIFE!

Hello po. I like the routinary kind of life I have too. And sometimes I change the routine but at least I do not go mylotting while I am in the office and focusing on it only.

that is life. even though you delve away from your routine, mylotting has become a part of your activity now but not when you are busy with your work.

@ridingbet You are so right po. Others cannot strain themselves from mylotting while at work.

@mlgen1037 well, can we safely say they are so engrossed sharing, or they are in dire need for the financial aspect of the site?

my friend, yes we have these daily routines and when we break one, we go back to where we started and do the usual thing again.

@minx267 hahah! i know, sleep is something that we should have especially when we are tired and exhausted from work. delaying our tasks on weekends should be fine.

Summer is finally here on our side of the planet. We welcome it whole-heartedly after weeks of extended winter. There are days that I prefer to have a routine and I get irritated if things don't happen like how I scheduled or planned them to be. And then there are some days that I long for doing anything outside of the ordinary. But I agree with you, that's life; we cannot always get what we want but we sure can make the most out of it.

yes, that is life. but we can somehow change something out of our routines if we are enthusiastic about doing so. as we often say here in our country, "that is life, 'parang buhay', 'kasla biag' (Iloco saying)".

that is life. you care about the birds and feed the cats. daily routines are already imbibed within our system.

@LadyDuck really? i love to see a nest with bird-lings. the nests that fall from the mango tree here have newborn bird-lings, so small that they are prone to ant attack. but when small birds are chirping for food from their mother, i love the sound of them.

I am glad that I am in the last phase of my journey re: life. It could be monotone at times, doing this and that over and over. We became unhappy however when our routines got changed suddenly unexpectedly and bored when things kept being the same day in day out. I think I have become very contradicting to myself.

that is life. but if we want something more fun and action, i guess we can make something not included in our routine activities, as long as we don't hurt anybody and ourselves.

@YrNemo hahaha... really? so, did you throw the dish, or you preferred to eat it since you 'invented' that dish?

yes, after our very late not so plan family outing (husband's side), which I am happy got to get see and spend time with my sister and her family (they live nearby) for dinner which is a pleasant surprise.
Now, we are quite tired for the day. I am happy that the boys of the family enjoyed their night out at the karaoke room of the resort.

Sunday is supposed to be a rest day and family day as well. for me, it is okay if i am lazy on a Sunday. Monday is also back-to-work day so it is just right to rest prior to work
