Can You Live A Life Without TV?


From an avid reader:
Dear Maricris,
Is it possible to exist in this day and age without TV? - Marlene, NC

First off, who in this world would elect to NOT have TV in their house? Certainly NOT YOU, right? Well... ME. I know what you're thinking. You must think I'm bunch of crazies! In this generation, NOT having TV is unreal. Unimaginable. Absurd. Well, truth be told, in my house, we're not so crazy about TV. Though giving it up, took a lot of debate. No, we were not aiming to mimic Colin Beavan, the No impact Man or even remotely trying to live off of the grid - that's just too much work and sacrifice involved that we can't afford right now. This one, sort of happened... and you know what's weird? It does feel kind of... good.

The Quest to Conquer the infamous Stinky Kili-kili {Armpit}

Did you know that having a stinky kili-kili can be a lethal weapon?
Once I was inside a comfortably crowded bus in Singapore. It was Summer. It was hot. Everyone was sweaty. And you know what that means. Stinky armpits! Ugh. Mine was too. Sweaty I mean. So there was this lovely lady garbed in her traditional clothing standing just a little below where the AC was blowing air quite strongly. On a sweltering hot day like that day, it was a blessing to have a working AC inside a bus, but on that particular day, it was more of a curse. At each burst of cold air, comes this despicably strong pungent aroma, almost as offensive as a skunks' stinky scent. And I was the lucky one. I was standing next to this lady! I was at the verge of passing out. At the end of that 10 mins. bus ride, I had a headache. I was nauseous and was puky by the time I reached my destination. What a Lethal scent! Talk about armpit power!
