holiday, holiday go away.

Can't wait to say goodbye, for once and for all, (at least for this year, anyway) to the deadest holiday of the year.

This situation has made me fully convinced that making the HOLY WEEK work-free is a hysterical, destructive ploy carefully constructed by employers all over the Philippines to make their hapless workers confess that they miss going to work.

Well you're not going to throw me over to your side, you crazies. Inspite of the fact that I've been bored stiff for the past three days, inspite of the fact that I almost cannot move my middle finger because of the ridiculous heat wave, inspite of the fact that there's nothing else to watch except those filthy 7th Heaven reruns, inspite of the fact that this ridiculous holiday has been placed smack-dab in the middle of two pay-days (which would, of course, render you limp with poverty), inspite of the fact that I can't go anywhere without first summoning a vision of the dead, empty streets, inspite of the fact that only 711 and Mini Stop are open, inspite of the fact that we can't go to the beach because everyone has already beaten us to it, inspite of the fact that we've run out of heart-ripping movies to watch,

INSPITE OF ALL THIS --- AND THE AWFUL FACT THAT I THOUGHT I'D NOT BE CELEBRATING THIS HOLIDAY THIS YEAR BECAUSE I'VE BROKEN TIES WITH MY FUNNY RELATIVES AND NO ONE CAN NO LONGER FORCE ME TO ATTEND THOSE SILLY CEREMONIES THAT USED TO GIVE ME ANXIETY ATTACKS, BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE I AM IN ON IT, ON EVERYTHING --- I WILL NOT SURRENDER! YOU WILL NOT BEAT ME DOWN!

YOU ARE A LIFE-SUCKING, BOREDOM-HUGGER! I STILL DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK AND I STILL AM GOING TO HATE THIS STUPID HOLIDAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

So there. Anything else that you can do is futile. So please, just stop and let me get back to my stressful life.
