Dear Future Len


Dear Future Len,

Who, me? Yes, you.

This is your past-x-days/weeks/years-Lenself writing to you. I hope you read this letter as often in the future; like how you automatically check your Facebook in the morning/upon waking up or how you automatically always choose the greater good inspite of (naks, bolahin ba daw ang sarili?). I hope this letter pesters you enough to push you everyday to act upon THE LIST.

Just take a look how you are taking action right this very moment! See, you thought of a brilliant idea to write to your future self about things you should do. You don't necessarily need nagging friends and family to remind you important things in life (i.e. never going overboard with your weight, never settling for less etc etc) You have yourself, the Past Len, (at some point) the Present Len working together for the Future Len's... uhm... improvement in the future? [wow, redundant to the highest maximum level]

You can never deny nor deem this moment as fake. No, your mother nor your brothers didn't hack your blogspot. This is indeed you. This is the first step to recovery from the lazy-ass man's disease  you have been suffering from since college, known to many as Procrastination (an evil evil disease!)

SERIOUSLY FUTURE-LEN-AND-PRESENT-LEN-PLEASE-DO-THIS LIST EVERY WAKING DAY OF YOUR LIFE:

1) Do one physical activity / exercise for a good 15 minutes per day: This is ideal, this is possible, this you can absolutely do! Come on, you can bear 15 minutes of jogging in place or squatting, jumping jack, other strenuous activities


2) Stop eating fried chicken and other instant food. You may not see the adverse effects of your unhealthy/destructive diet yet (oh em gee, yet meaning, yes darling, there is a possibility, a chance for obesity to occur probably.. next Monday, tomorrow, or worst maybe tonight while you sleep. Be afraid!) but you know some way, some how, those fat will catch up. Sneaky little demons...

3) Clean and organize your closet with full, clear and serious intentions. Sell those clothes which you haven't touched in about six months, or better yet, have an exchange clothes party with friends (oy, this seems like a good idea!) By the way, what ever happened to the Cher Horwitz Futuristic Closet project?


4) I will quote Nike's famous line here: JUST DO IT. (you undertand this statement too well, you go girl!)

Do not get stuck, Future Len.

Love someone whom you will probably hate tomorrow,

Past Len

Highlight of the day is knowing that once in this lifetime, my name and my face was imprinted on national newspaper. Check out Philippine Star, Business Section p. C3, July 11, 2011 issue (*.*,) Awesome. Incredible. Funky fresh!
