the mango leaf addiction
the title sounds weird, doesn't it? unbelievable and crazy, yet true.
meet the hottest(?) new craze...
pe class.
we were playing volleyball but the sun was too hot so we stayed under the shade of this ginormous mango tree. we found apa and ces sniffing at some leaves.
me (laughing): anong ginagawa niyo?
ces: umaamoy. ang bango kasi e.
nicki (taking a leaf and sniffing as well): oo nga no..amoy mangga!
after that, we each took a leaf and sniffed our hearts out. was it bliss. okay, so now i sound like a druggie attached to heroin. but seriously, it smelled really good. we each took around two more leaves to satisfy our "addiction" for the week. i still have the two leaves tucked in my pe notebook. it'll probably lose its scent in a day or two. i probably have to sneak there near the gym just to satisfy my "addiction".
it's good to be safely adddicted to something, isn't it? even if it's just something especially ordinary like mango leaves. at least it's not something that could harm you, like adhesive or heroin.
try this: find something, an "addiction" or hobby of any kind that'll make you happy. an example is sniffing mango leaves to your heart's content with a few of your friends behind the school gym. :)
