Letters to Electra - Breaking The Ice

21/08/15

Dear Electra,

Despite experiencing moderate dizziness, having had P.E. for last period and having to stay at school for a bit longer than usual, I am still committed to writing you a letter tonight.

Speaking of staying at school longer than 3:00 pm, I had to remain behind (along with some others) to prepare a dance for an upcoming Filipino festival. As I entered the rehearsal room, I overheard some people beginning their first conversation by revealing each other's crushes! Seriously? When I meet new people, I prefer to break the ice by talking about the environment we're surrounded by, or introducing them to my background. (Random tangent: it's scarce for me to meet new people; I'm too self-conscious!)

But in all seriousness, please try your best to leave a good impression on someone, or behave as yourself - people love it when they meet new individuals who have a sufficient amount of sincerity.

Whatever you do, DO NOT add tea tree oil to your toothpaste! There have been websites saying that tea tree oil can cure gum diseases and keeps your mouth clear of plaque. Last Tuesday morning, I tried to add a slight drop of it to my toothpaste and it burnt my mouth with sharp force trauma. It was as if I had anaesthesia all over again. This wasted my time and the painful sensation persisted for two days.

The lesson learned here is to be sceptical about the Internet - you know what? This also pertains to real-life situations, such as when a stranger offers you a ride home/some food. Promise me this, Electra: keep yourself safe.

Stay powerful and beautiful as usual,

- M
