the last song syndrome


I'm so glad, there's not much christmas songs played in the air or i'd get bugged again by the last song syndrome. I tell you, it's dangerous. A first line from "The Christmas Song", " chestnuts roasting on an open fire.." can get stuck on me and will keep playing on my mind over and over again for several days!

I remember when we were still in Dagupan, (we lived there for 2 years) I had a crafts store situated near "Bok's" shoe store and beside a record bar. During christmas season (here in the Philippines it starts just after the Halloween), oh...how i dreaded goin to my store because the record bar played Xmas songs the whole day everyday until Dec. 24 and made me awake and sick every night because I repeatedly sung ( don't worry it was soundless!) , "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" or whatever the last song i heard on a particular day.

Thank God! I'm not hearing those kinds of music often now. But, early this morning when i turned on the radio, i heard this "Boom tarat-tarat" thing! To my horror, I noticed this was a christmas song by willie revillame! Gosh! Having this kind of music being played repeatedly on my mind if i'd get stricken again with the last song syndrome would drive me to commit suicide!!!

Hellooow!!! Can i just settle with, "chestnuts roasting on an open fire..." please???

We also get the LSS. We know how it feels like. Better do other things to take your mind off the song and get rid of that syndrome. c",)

Know what, danea? LSS is fun but sometimes it can drive me crazy. With your advice, i hope when i'd get bugged with it again, i'd get rid of the attack fast!
