And The Curtain Falls

Well, this is actually a continuation of the "To Win or Lose" post.

I can't actually remember all the challenges I've accepted, accomplished and failed. So I'm just going to end my dare-related posts with this...

"You Lose!"

The first dare that I got and started was also the one that I ridiculously messed up. I thought it was the simplest; but it seems I just underestimated the dare, and my friend who gave it. I have forgotten how sinister he is, of how good... of a jinx... he is... always... to me.

The dare was to text "someone" with cheesy, love-related quotes for 3 consecutive days. Sounds easy, right? But yeah, I failed. And I will never forgot how that "friend" of mine rejoiced. Of course, he had so much fun pestering me about my failure. I failed because on the 2nd day, I ran out of cellphone load just when I was about to send the message. And since it was already late at night, I wasn't able to do anything.

Well, it was actually because I wasn't that motivated to complete the dare. It's not that I wanted to lose either. But maybe because of the lack of thrill and motivation that I didn't do my best to accomplish it. Hey, I'm not trying to make excuses; I'm just explaining myself of why I stupidly let myself lose on that very simple dare. I expected so much from that witch!!! And yet he gave me something that did not even tickle my senses! x_x  

Another dare that gave me that "I-so-hate-people-who-know-nothing-but-to-bring-you-down" feeling was the "dress-up" dare. It was meant for 3 days, but I sort of screwed on the 2nd. Well, partly because some annoying people stood in my way. But yeah, all is well even some things didn't end well. I'm just happy that even for a day, my co-workers were able to see me in a different light. lol They were so persistent about it; you know, to see me wearing a dress while on high heels.

On the 2nd day, my accomplices and I were reprimanded for being loiterers. lol. It was because of the makeup and hairdo session. Since I don't know how to put a makeup on or curl my hair all on my own, I asked two of my office friends to help me out. Obviously, I got them in trouble. But it's okay; we were somehow able to make some memories out of it. ;)

Of course, I don't want to end this "documentary" with just negative stuff. Two of my other dares, which I successfully completed, became somewhat "controversial" and very fulfilling.

The very funny and controversial one was the "update your relationship status on facebook." I had to ask a friend (that many people like to pair me with) to connive with me in changing my relationship status. Of course, that friend has to pretend that he was in relationship with me. lol. Fortunately, only on facebook, and just for a week. But we don't have to explain things or really act out us couple. It was really a good thing that I was allowed to ask that person's permission and cooperation. If I had to do it without his knowledge, I'd die of humiliation! lol That dare made me realize that most of the people I know wanted me so much to have a boyfriend that they were so happy upon 'knowing' that, finally, I'm in a relationship. Well, enough of the details; getting tired already lol

One of the most fulfilling dare, and one that I'm so proud I accomplished, was a test of my self-control (and yeah, resistance to my addiction lol). Indeed, I had to say no to manga and anime for almost a month or so; a month and some days before my birthday!!! Imagine the torture! lol But yeah, I succeeded on that dare. It was one of those dares that strengthened my patience, persistence and self-discipline. Thanks to "lalake" for that awesome challenge.

At last! I'm done documenting!!! lol Now, I can go back to posting other crazy stuff. :P
