If you had an extra hour in the day, what would you do?

WORDS WORTH - Mons Romulo -
If only I had more time!" This is a com-mon sentiment among busy people.

If you had an extra hour to do anything you want, what would you do? Me? I would make it my prayer time. I would pray for our nation to survive the myriad of problems it faces. I would pray for each of us to nurture good thoughts about each other and to be more giving. Then I can sleep well knowing that my extra time was well-spent.

Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit:
I’d play the piano, meditate or read a good book. I like reading philosophy. Occasionally, I would read novels or short stories. One of the books I just read was Beyond The Walls by somebody who had been in and out of the monastery. Or I can visit a friend and we’d spend the time talking.

Gloria Angara:
I’d spend it just being together with my family.

Rita Dy,
country manager, Singapore Airlines: I’d like just to do nothing. Right? Wouldn’t anyone want to do that?

Bart Guingona,
stage actor/writer: I’d snuggle with someone or something, anywhere for an hour in a dark cool cocoon-like room.

Karen Davila,
TV host and news anchor, ABS-CBN: If I had an extra hour, I’d spend it on my quiet time or I would get more sleep.

BIR Commissioner Rene Bañez:
I would spend it with my wife, daughter and son. I would probably bring them to Tagaytay or Punta Fuego. These days I don’t see them as often as I should, so if I had an extra hour, I would prefer to spend it with them.

Camarines Sur Congressman Rolando Andaya Jr.,
chairman Appropriations Committee: To be honest, I would spend the hour studying for the upcoming budget deliberations.

Maricar Bautista,
news reporter, TV Patrol: I can do one of two things: Since I have insomnia, I could use the extra hour to sleep, so I can still get at least six to seven hours of sleep. That way, I can store enough energy to do my work well. Or I can just run some personal errands since weekends aren’t enough to do all of them.

Joey De Leon,
TV host/comedian: Paint or travel. Pero sa one hour saan ako makakapunta? (laughs)
