The root word of routine is route

The dictionary meaning of route is: "a specific itinerary, round, or number of stops regularly visited by a person in the performance of his or her work or duty." emphasis on the word 'specific'. In the context of the word "routine", the word is a noun and it is used often to define the pattern or behavior of people. Alot of us here establish a routine to order our chaotic lives like wake up, brush teeth, eat, shower then leave for our daily duty then come home, relax, kick back, do something productive then sleep right after...repeat context. I find it amazing that we can easily be satisfied with our established order of appointed options during our regular days. What i find more remarkable is the idea that for some people, a small disrupt in the rift of their behavior can rip them figuratively inside out.

the tale of the Spinster and Peter Pandesal is about a girl who has a habit of making a desired routine for herself and the highlight of her day is being able to go to her favorite bar and enjoying the piano pieces being played everytime she visits. Until one day, her so-called habit was interrupted by a band that took over the piano being played in her favorite place and worst of all, played rock music, the most undesired type of music she disliked very much. as each day went by, she grew more and more interested of the vocalist who danced around and about and sang wildly and envisioned fantasies of her so-called "Peter Pan" until one day he sat down and noticed her and that was the end of her little adventure and left. :)

Document is a story about a guy who kept lending his laptop to the girl he often fantasizes about and keeps thinking he has a connection with her and dreams of being with too.

To be honest im not a person of routine sincerely. but i can honestly say that i had a way of doing about on things and i guess i can call it a routine. As much as possible, i always want my day to be luminous and incandescent like a bulb. If life is supposed to be fun and enjoyable ideally, then i want my life to be as brilliant and as bright as possible and to shed light especially in the dark areas of my world. After all, even the word route used as a verb means: "to fix the route of". I believe alternatives to our routines makes life alot more worth living for.
