Walk.

Walk to breath the supposedly fresher air. Although is it really the case when one is walking along a highway?

Walk to enjoy the sun to soak in Vitamin D . And try walk while holding hands or walk in synchronizing steps.

Walk to pretend you enjoy life, walk to have an excuse to wear sunnies. Walk to show off your flip flops and to parade around in tight short pants.

Walk when anger is consuming head,to clear it back, the blood needs to be diverted to the legs.

Walk extra fast when embarrassed, so when people ask “why is your face red?” one is able to whip out this reply, ” i walked for an hour to here so i am a bit flushed sorry”

Walk to finish an ice-cream, and walk some more when the 5 minute song isn’t over yet  but you’re already arrived at the destination.

Walk with people you like, if you can’t have real date,  a walking date is as close you can get.

Walk when you are down, trust me you’ll walk miles and miles and still your legs wont bow down.

Walk when you need to think, no, actually, walk  BECAUSE you want to think,’ reactivate your brain cells,’ they say . But hey, be careful not to walk into a pole or someone else’s head on the way.

Walk to see, to be amused and to grin sheepishly. Look at that pigeon, its secreating on someone’s car tehee he he. And oh my, why is the policemen in Montreal so hot? ( same goes to busdrivers). Stop in the middle of tracks for one moment, smile–that busker with the violin is winking at you.

Walk to have a better fashion sense, looking down on people shoes and wonder what brand they are wearing. Look a bit further up to look at legs and bit your lip in jealousy afterwards. Walk around during lunch hours and fantasize in delight to see corporate workers walk around fashionably in corporate clothes.

Walk to bump unexpectedly into friends and acquaintances , and to feel lucky upon seeing a professors spouse or  partner getting cozy.

Walk to have a reason to wake up early in the morning,as walking takes 20 minutes to reach school. Walking is indeed healthy, but you still do not want to be late for class.

Walk to delude others you’re taking the excercise regiment seriously, because you do not want to admit you dont have enough money for the bus fare.

Walk can turn into skips, or playful trots because you have 3 second left to cross the road before the light turns red.( Its already yellow now). Walk can broke into a run to stop that creepy hobo from following y–often enough, a figment of imagination when dark approaches.

Walk to have an imaginary race with the matsallehs, whose steps are much bigger than puny asian legs and whose strides much stronger than feeble legs of our counterparts.( how did THAT woman in 5-inch heels beat me???)

Walk to feel good about yourself, to monologue about ” this is a great start for the day!”

Walk to delight oneself of a mini wonder, eavesdropping conversations of people wether they spoke  in Quebecois french or in English. Walk a bit more later to deduce which area have more francophone over anglophones and scratch head on why the heck Korean is heard in Jeanne Mance St?

Walk untill you have blisters and untill you change the side of shoulder you hang your sling bag.( because its too heavy on the right)

Walk to get lost, and then to walk aorund in circles because you are lost. Walk to rejoice upon the discovery of a new route perhaps shorter or maybe prettier to look.

Walk to study , walk to learn lessons, walk to analyze demographics and apply anthropology at your own undertaking.

Walk the same route to the grocery store everyday, untill you can even memorize the way even in your sleep or even when blindfolded.

Next time when walking, count the staircase, pretend you’re a mathematician who actually care about the number of steps to the first floor. Impress friends later on other days , when walking up with them.

Walk extra slowly to kill time, when you dont want to get home just yet since you’ll do other boring things anyway.

Walk and be surprised and puzzled on why one yawn extra hard when walking. Walk pass building and landmarks and made mental notes of stuff that is interesting ( which will be forgotten in remarkable speed anyway)

Walk plenty and walk to feel a bit happy and to be distracted and to escape and to speak on the cellphone and to pick up coins and to avoid dog poop and to touch walls and to read graffiti and to reach home as quick as possible because prayer times are almost over or because you’re too hungry you want to fry eggs at home for lunch.

Walk by my house and i’ll offer you a drink 

P/s: Walking deserves to be overrated.
