My Ideal Day

(Note: This blog entry is about the topic, “How would you spend an ideal day?”)

No worries on responsibilities – homeworks, studying, deadlines. The guilty feeling of procrastinating and cramming in the end should be eliminated. These are just some rules for me to spend an ideal day. But how would I spend an ideal day? Maybe.......

On a warm, sunny day. I can't promise to wake up early in the morning; but if I miraculously do wake up before 7am, I would take a good exercise I almost never get. I could do with a lively sunny-side-up or fluffy scrambled egg for breakfast. I'd also like to travel down a smooth well-paved road driving my own car (if I could drive, and if I had my own car) to a “nature” place – maybe lay a picnic on the banks of a clear, refreshing, blue river, or get a waterfall bath, or lay down on a mat on a windy green meadow while reading a book. Of course, I could do with all the picture takings. I could also do something different and new like talking to a stranger or an acquaintance, or bumping into a huge celebrity, and gaining them as friends while chit-chatting and sipping a cup of coffee under the coffee shop umbrella. At night, I would love to lay down on a cozy mat at a high place (maybe on a grassy, windy hill? Or on the roof?) where I could clearly see the bright stars of the universe or starry lights of the city, or both.

On a gloomy, rainy day. Who said I can't spend an ideal day on a day like this? For the record, I like waking up at 8 in the morning, realizing that the sun has been and will probably be hidden by those heavy gray clouds for the rest of the day, feeling I've had at least 8 hours of sleep, and also lying awake on the cozily chilled bed linens cooled by the air-conditioned air preserved by the equally cool environment outside. I would suffice having a movie marathon for the day – may it be a drama, comedy, suspense, horror, inspirational, heart-warming, heart-breaking, old, or new, I'm pretty sure I would enjoy watching those in my humble black flat-screen. A warm cocoa drink by the hour of 3 in the afternoon might be the perfect drink I would enjoy; and a nice grilled dinner would I also love to eat just outside the house where the warm dinner comforts my body from the shivery temperature. By the time I have washed myself, I would have allowed my DVD player to rest – but not the TV. I would want to delight myself in watching the nightly TV shows of my favorite TV station before I go to bed and wake up the next morning to face the real world once more.

The 24 hours of my ideal day may not be enough, but I want to make the most I could out of it – anyway, my ideal day comes only once in a blue moon.
