This is the story of displaying my country's flag for our independence day. It takes effort but makes me patriotic. I get injured (If there's blood, it's an injury). There's also the tale of my boring Friday nights, my bed trying to break up with me, lots of drama and my mom realizing her daughter is nuts. Welcome to my life!
31st August, is my country's Independence Day.
In celebration of our Independence Day, every year, without fail, my mom will put up our country's flag, for the entire month of the national day celebration, till 16th September. The entire nation is encouraged to do so to show our love for our country.
So my mom has been telling me for weeks that she hasn't yet put up our flag this year. Not hinting. My mom doesn't do hints. It's straight out, "it's a few more days to 31st August, the flag is not up yet!"
But when you come home from work, exhausted, thinking of the workout you have to do, before you can bathe and have your dinner, while waiting to just fall on your bed and sleep, did not really get me all excited about putting up the flag.
I would like to imagine I look this pretty falling down on my bed in exhaustion.
But in reality, I look like this.
Ok. That's an exaggeration because honestly even this whale looks cute doing its back flip thing.
Sometimes I do feel sorry for my bed. The suffering it has to endure, having to put up with my body on it, day after day... Pretty sure my bed screams in agony when I approach it.... I have this gut feeling that my bed and my weighing scale are conspiring to leave me and run away together.
Can I really blame them... Who would want me on top of them...
I feel you, really I do...
No, bed. Don't leave me. I'm sorry for the pain my body puts you through. What you have to handle every night... and sometimes in the afternoon during weekends, when I feel like a nap.
I know it's a hard life, I'm sorry. I wish I was lighter and sexier, so you could at least enjoy having me sprawled on top of you.
I'm working on it, ok... Just hang in there...
Wait!!!! Are you breaking up with me???
Yeah.. I'm a little weird, Steve Harvey.. But I'm cute, right?
