We know. Sinead O’Connor already vowed this year to stop performing Nothing Compares 2 U live for good. But because this song resonates so much with our insatiable appetite to always compare things, we are listing down 8 situations that will make you want to shave your head and belt this song out in utter appreciation of the finer things in life. Sinead would be so darn proud!

1. Nothing compares to…driving freely on the expressway after getting off the distressing Manila traffic jams

Please don’t tell us there’s nothing better than driving through rush hour EDSA traffic because, WTH. You know there’s nothing more energizing than being able to rev up your car past 80mph in NLEX or SLEX after getting off the harrowing, hellish traffic of Metro Manila, simply because there are fewer vehicles on the road.

2. Nothing compares to…getting inside a spacious MRT minutes before hell breaks loose at rush hour

Dedicated to those who have gamed the MRT system of this generation: dashing out of the house earlier than usual to be able to ride the MRT before the masses come flocking in, and clocking out immediately after work to be able to beat the 6:00 P.M. madness that happens in all MRT stations. Sometimes, happiness comes in the form of empty seats inside the trains.

3. Nothing compares to…taking a refreshing bath after a sweaty commute

Commuters unite—there’s nothing better than washing off what’s already mixing with your own sweat–the sweat of all those you’ve bumped and grinded with during commute! Thank you, jam-packed MRT and bus lines!

4. Nothing compares to…changing into your flats after wearing heels the whole day

This one’s dedicated to women. A minute of silence for all the women who brave the dangers and discomforts of wearing high heels day in and day out in exchange for achieving the ultimate Cara Delavigne killer fashion statement.

5. Nothing compares to taking your bra off after a long day

Again, for all the girls who run the world–FREEDOM! To summarize the thoughts of women the world over: guys probably wouldn’t be able to understand just how liberating it is to throw away one’s bra after a long day of working, commuting, driving, working out, etc. One can really call out “sweet freedom” after those nasty little hooks in the back have been, well, unhooked.

6. Nothing compares to…the feeling you get after emptying your bladder during long road trips

We’ve all been in that situation at least once in our lifetime: Going on a long travel with no bathrooms in sight for what seems like miles and miles of road ahead; desperate to do a “number 1.” And then suddenly, a wild stopover appears! After you’ve “hosed it all down,” you let out a sigh of relief and make a mental reminder to yourself NEVER to chug that bottle of soda you have with you in the car.

7. Nothing compares to…the scent and first sip of freshly brewed coffee

You know why it’s such a treat to have your cup of Joe at your favourite coffee shop? It’s because not only are you treated to the best grounds the coffee industry has to offer, but your taste and olfactory systems go into full drive thanks to the many flavour elements that come out once your drink goes drippin’ out of a percolator. To most coffee connoisseurs, coffee becomes terrible when re-heated, or if brewed with low-grade coffee grounds. To add up to this, nothing also compares to the jolt of caffeine you get out of your fresh cup of coffee. We’ll take none of that decaf.

8.) Nothing compares to…getting the iPhone for FREE on SMART!

Well, now there’s no need to have cash up front to avail of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
