top 10 things to do when stuck

*only resort to this when you're alone in the car and bored out of your mind after a 2-hour jam

1- For girls: make up. try out different eyeshadows, ways to line your eyes etc
For guys: fix your hair. messy hair and 'over-styled' hair were never 'in'.
2- Take pictures. observe the 'city view'. take pictures of buildings, skyline, the guy beside your car (to talk to your girlfriends about), the girl beside your car (to show your guy friends), the grey skies. the smog. the haze. the odd people crossing the road. the crazy motorists zipping in and out.
3- read (my personal favourite). surprisingly, in between the braking and inching along, you can finish quite a bit of the book you always wanted but never had the time to.
4- for writers: plan out or write impending articles
for musicians: tighten the score and song in mind. the beats. the line. the funk.
for IT people: invent the next 'it' thing. a micro, non-battery-needed-wireless-24 -hour-phone-sized-wide-view-palmtop perhaps
for lawyers: map out arguments and the next thousand-dollar legal suit
for accountants: figure out where the money went
for mums: plan and organize the million and one things to do in a day
for dads: zone out
5- eat. snack. drink. always have food and drinks in your car in view of 2-hours and more traffic jam
6- work out; your calves and legs. brake. accelerate. brake.
7- rant. yell. scream. but all confined within a car, or rather, our seat and seatbelts
8- gossip. call your girlfriend. chat about the next guy/ shopping trip. increase the phone bill while phone network companies gloat in delight at it
9- try to breathe
10- remind yoruself that stress causes premature aging. so breathe. in and out.
