Need A Laugh, Anyone?

Posted on by

Valentine’s Day is a sad day for some people, and Facebook has been showing me these funny memes lately (some were written in Filipino though). So I thought, why not share them here to lift the mood just a little bit? I know my neighbor now thinks I really lost it laughing out loud all by myself. The lesson? Roll on the floor laughing silently or ROTFLS.

I support the anti-commercialism of V-Day actually, so I’m exempted (sort of) from all the hype. But, we still had a simple celebration at home and I appreciated ze husband still giving me a beautiful and lovely Ecuadorian rose (though it’s another premature death in the plant kingdom).

I’ll try my best to keep it alive hopefully for a couple more days using a concoction of plant food I found on the internet. 🌹

So, I told him that if he wanted to join the hype, he should buy me a live flowering plant instead that is in a pot with soil, roots, and all. 😉 I’ll plant it in our garden in Bicol, and I’ll put a tag with a date on it.

I find it more romantic every time a plant blooms, and I’m reminded of the unique story behind that plant. I also get to care for it and propagate it. And if I have inquisitive kids, the garden is one great avenue for storytelling and to motivate their love for nature. But, the best thing about receiving live plants as gifts is that I get to plant more and make this planet more habitable by reducing single-use plastic waste.

He thinks it’s an excellent idea. Ah yes, never underestimate the power of persuasion delivered in all subtlety. Do tell me though if you’re the one who’s not convinced. lol

Meanwhile, I hope the memes below will make you smile, and enjoy ROTFLS! ❤️ Captions are all mine, by the way. 👍

Can you feel the love tonight, Rafiki? I think he didn’t feel the love tonight, so he hid.
Kuya Grab, amphibian po kasi dapat dinadala nyong sasakyan.
Awww, you cutie patootie. Btw, whoever put this pooch there should also be in one of those branches just to make sure the dog is really enjoying this.
Try to guess how much it costs.
Yep, and you’re heading to your Final Destination, too.
Dodge it, just Dodge it.
Pinapaalis ka na Kuya customer kasi naubos mo na daw isang pitsel ng gravy kaka-refill.

Uhh, can I go home first? I think I left my brain cells there.
Uhm, the plane will be on the North side? Because that’s the only direction that’s not mentioned. And I don’t follow instructions.
Yes, even laughing silently can get you so tired. Keeping all that laughing gas inside you is no joke. Come on now, release it.
Let’s all be real now. I hope this is still a joke 5 years from now.

Aside from laughing, there’s also another way to increase your happy hormones (dopamine) – dancing. This can also be a great opportunity to learn a new skill, shed off some pounds, and have a cardio workout (best for heartbreaks). Never mind if your feet don’t want to cooperate at first. We all started there. If after a couple of years, you still can’t keep up with the dance steps, just chop off your feet. I’m kidding. Try another genre like Salsa, which has slower dance movements. 🙂

P.S. I wish there will be Zumba classes offered here in our condo’s clubhouse because I’m a wrecking ball when I dance inside the condo. But I’ll be going to Bicol by April, anyway, so I’ll just learn Belly Dancing instead through YouTube tutorials for now. I can’t wait to use this belly dancing hip scarf. Or is it used on the tummy to cover the fat belly? 🤔

Who is this person in the coin? Or is it a horse?
