A bad mood is something that is not planned and once it’s in us, it can ruin the whole day.  Why are we in a bad mood sometimes?  What do you do to get away with it?  What are the things that may turn your mood into bad?

Waking up late, coming to work late, a sudden problem with the bus, a messy class and not to mention the cold rains pouring almost all day.  These not so usual circumstances turned my day a topsy-turvy, thus, this bad mood.  I thought it would be over when I was on my way home, not knowing I would meet another not so usual sight ahead – coming home with the trash not been disposed of (it’s hubby’s carelessness), newspapers widely spread on the table with mugs on the side and a coffee maker turned on for almost hours!  Gosh! I could not leave the place like that.  Hubby reasoned out he was in a hurry to leave home, otherwise he could have performed his little errands completely well.  Ahhuh, better be good next time.

I thought it was too much for the day, I sat by my computer instead.  Unsure of what to do, I randomly checked my messages and found something interesting from one of my friendster buddies.  I clicked her picture and found out that it was like on a cover of a popular magazine.  I clicked on the link and tried play with it for some time.  It suddenly made me smile .  This crazy internet, I thought to myself.  Here’s what I did a while ago while I was trying to get over the bad mood that ruined my day.

Now, tell me if you didn’t smile on this profound creation by the internet.  MagMyPic is behind this illusion of putting one’s image on the cover of some widely-known magazines.  Try it for yourself.  Since I have a sea in the background, I chose the National Geographic magazine to fit with the image.  The Vogue is out of the question.  Smiling bad mood away, hi hi!
