DI'S GUIDE TO LIFE: THE DIAGONAL WALK

I am a very lazy person. Extreme type of laziness. Inaamin ko. Some of the people I know hates me for being one. But guys, I know (we know) I am not the only one! In fact, the ever reliable Google showed me couple of most searches of all time. Pati solusyon sa pagiging tamad, inaasa kay Google. Kami na! This is something I am not proud of.

I guess if some dude produces a cure, I'd buy myself a stash of every milligrams available. My previous wallpaper read: "The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life." Cute no?I am calling it The Art of Procrastination. The word rolls a little hard on the tounge but it's cute diba?

I am writing this guide for me. Selfish ako. Just so if I happen to forget some of my shortcuts to life in the future, I will get back to this post and say oooooh, okay.. :) Hindi naman lahat dito ay para sa mga tamad ng tao. Mostly, to cut the time spent on waiting or to rush because you're late sa work.

THE LONG WAY (TWO WAY TURN, AKA THE LETTER "L")
Due to this unfortunate non-medical condition, nagigising ako ng late. And because mabagal din akong lumakad, I am losing approximately 15-20 minutes of my allotted one-hour going to the office. I discovered that by walking diagonally, makakasave ka ng 5 minutes from North Jeepney Station going to Two-Ecom Building. This also applies to crossing the street ha.

From the time you step out of the cab up to One-Ecom's McDonald's at the corner, it will take you approximately 2-3 minutes depende sa speed ng paglalakad and another 2-3 minutes from McDonald's to Two-Ecom's Burger King. See animated-maarteng-visual below:



THE SHORTER WAY (AKA THE TITLE..Ü)
I noticed a small difference if I walk the other way. Instead of taking the letter L, I tried walking like this -- / Another maarteng visual below:



I save 3-4 minutes kakalakad in diagonal! :D Try nyo dali! Another thing that proves me right is, konti ang layers ng nagamit ko sa photoshop, nung ginagawa ko yung diagonal walk. Hahahaha! Totoo!

I hope I am making sense. :) Watch out for more Di's Guide to (Lazy) Life!
