Why I’m Such a Homebody
Author: ChinI dislike going out because on days when I do venture out to do the groceries or visit the doctors, the city drains me of energy and leaves me tired and wanting to pack up my bags and move – somewhere without traffic or traffic lights, preferably, like Tubigon or in the middle of Agusan del Sur. I like people, but not crowds. I like places, just not malls. I like new things, just not falling in line to buy them.
This makes friends curious, naturally. I’ve been asked a lot of questions, ranging from “What do you do at home?” to “Don’t you get bored?” My answer would have to be “A lot!” to the former, and a resounding “No!” to the latter. I mean, come on. When you can spend weekends cavorting with the husband and the kids and workdays like this, would you really want to go out at all?
Hi! My name is Chin, and this is where, to quote Jane Austen, I "run mad and as often as I choose."

Same here! My goodness, we hate leaving the house. It’s the best place ever! We stocked it with comfy chairs and beds, books and books and books, game consoles, video games, hundreds of movies in HD/Blu-Ray, computers all with WiFi, foooooood… we never want to leave it!!! I do almost all y shopping online, too, so that I never need to step out the door. And still people ask us that, too; “Don’t you get bored?” Idiots.
