Lately, I've been feeling restless and passive. I feel like I'm a robot doing things I'm programmed to do. Life has been boring and monotonous. I feel like Im supposed to do something more meaningful and fun. But, enough of the drama. Sometimes, we have to ignore sadness and divert our attention so that it wont consume us.

Today, I might as well share to you the instances when I dont feel like myself. (Huh!, does that even makes sense) I mean the time in my life when my head was not in full coordination with my body and the situation. Here's few of the many times Im absent-minded.

1. I cooked rice in a cooker without its lid. This happened twice already. When I get up from bed in the morning, I immediately cook something for breakfast. Then, go back to sleep for a few more minutes again. I smelled the steam coming from the rice cooker. Im about to have breakfast when I learned that I forgot to cover lid. As a result, i need to put a little water again because rice was not cooked yet.

2. The second "lutang moment " was when I was having a class. I said, " Hi Jerry, welcome to my class. Im Teacher Lyden. How about you? What is your name? ". Jerry laughed hardly and since then he wont stop talking about it everytime we have a class.

Those are the "lutang moments" that I can remember. I'm sure there are a lot more but I can't remember them. I keep on recalling but I wasn't able to recall even just one. The two instances just happened recently. This is what my bestfriend is complaining about me. She keeps on asking me things and experiences we used to have but I can't add and relate anymore because I have difficulty on remembering things. This has been my problem. I'm having hard time recalling things from the past, even when its just two years ago. I even requested to reset my PIN at the bank two times. I also can't remember my username and password. Everytime, I need to open an account on social media or at the bank, I make sure my sister knows because everytime I forget, I always run to her. She is my rescue when I can no longer open my gmail account.

Being forgetful and not being able to recall things may be my greatest "lutang moment". Sometimes I get frustrated when I'm trying to remember things but as time pass by, I stop thinking too much about it. I'm happy if I could recall something from the past but when there are times that I could not remember, I would always disregard the thought and move on. I don't want to put pressure on myself just because I can't recall something from the past.

So there you go, those are my "lutang moments". I've read "lutang moments" from my fellows here and they were sometimes shameful but they were fun. But, whatever it lutang moment, we may have. We can say that our mind is preoccupied. Maybe we're thinking of our lover, a problem or a place we wanted to be that our mind and focus were not in the situation at hand. Our mind is a wonder and it wanders.
