The wonders of Boredom
I'm sitting on my desk and found myself staring absentmindedly at the blinking cursor of the user name field of a certain website. Unmistakably bored but not drowsy, it seems that there aren't much tasks to be done at work lately. That is one of the best things that is currently happening for it means that we can spend more glorious time in surfing the web, downloading illegal stuff, playing online games, and of course, more time to reflect on the deeper side of what we call life. Nice.
Reflection. My mind is full of things to ponder on but it could not come up to a conclusion as to what to mull over first. That resulted to drifting from a jumble of befuddled thoughts to a blank state of mind. Now, I couldn't think of anything except writing this article about me who cannot think of anything. Hence, boredom appeared with a dramatic "poof!" sound in my head.
Boredom. It is like sleeping but with eyes opened and feeling that your brain is sitting at the back of your skull, drooling and staring at a blank wall of confusion. Thoughts are swirling, quite unfocused, not sure what to do to make my monochromatic life restore its technicolor state. The present seemed to be dimmed, with only one light struggling to blink, not reaching the other wavelengths (kung sa ato pa, kaponderon na ang suga). I grew tired of this feeling and started to pace back and forth on the floor. Great. Now I'm the floorwalker. I kept on walking, trying to find someone to bug. Most of the people I have seen have that do-not-disturb-or-you're-screwed energy field radiating within a 2-feet radius around them. Finally, I found derrick whose energy field was switched off for a moment but he appeared to be located five miles away from my desk. Naturally, I bugged him but then I found a laser-beam of a look on one of my superiors which reminded me of the uncanny ability of my boss to suddenly appear anywhere to catch some misbehaving staff. Hmmm, I always wondered if my boss has the power to apparate like the witches and wizards in Harry Potter's world... Maybe he's a wizard. Haha. So much for the weird things I'm thinking when I'm bored. Oh well, back to my desk.
Amazing. I still find myself surprised that I spent five whole minutes staring into the computer screen absentmindedly when this has already been a regular hobby of mine.
I covered my face with my jacket. Gee, I look like an ostrich with its head buried in an upside-down ground. Dyan, who sits beside me, seemed to be busy figuring out the Fourier series - the side-effect to her of having nothing much to do. I remembered back in college on how I was able to manage to get it but forgot how it worked a day after then managed to scribble some long unknown solution on my exam in my indecipherable hand-writing, hoping that the teacher would give up reading my solutions and could place a check there as a sign of capitulation. Guess it worked.
The weird things I'm thinking when I'm bored. Hey, I am bored yet I am thinking! Wow.......
......Wow...

Now what?
(As I realized that, my mind went back to thinking nothing. It won't let me think more. Cranky mind I got here. Have to end this article.)
