Define Stress

Define stress?

It is when you sleep at 4 in the morning and wake up at 7am for your exam.

It is when you start cramming for papers and reports that piled up along with problem sets, exams and projects.

It is when you start on depending on caffeine to keep you awake all throughout the day (and in the wee hours of the morning when you’re studying)

It is when you rush from one building to the other because your professor dismissed you 15 minutes late and you are already late for your next class (and lucky you. Your professor in your next subject decided to give a quiz that day)

It is when you studied the whole week for an exam and felt unprepared when you started answering the ridiculously loooooooooooong and difficult questions in the questionnaire

It is when you start being uneasy, restless and can’t concentrate with what you’re supposed to do because you are bothered and distracted with things you aren’t really supposed to be thinking of during you finals week.

Stress.

Its Complicated

‘Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone…’

It’s complicated.

I want him back, but he made up his mind — ‘Being friends is what’s best for us’, he said. I want him back, but I don’t know where to start. I am willing to risk everything just to make him mine.

I had him, I lost him. It was my fault, I know. I would do everything to undo that mistake, if he would only let me. But if he still thinks that being friends is the best way to avoid the complications and consequences of loving me would bring him… then let it be. I can’t always have it my way, can I?

It got me into thinking — how could I say I lost him, if in the first place I NEVER REALLY HAD HIM? Depressing isn’t it? I ALMOST had him, but lost him because of my stupidity and indecisiveness. I want him back. Too bad I can’t do anything to make him change his mind.

Caffeine Rush

According to Wikipedia, Palpitation is the abnormal awareness (because it interrupts other thoughts compared to normal awareness wherein it is caused by a concentration on the beating of one’s heart) of the beating of the heart; whether it is too fast, too slow or irregular.

Palpitation may be brought from overexertion, adrenaline, caffeine, cocaine, amphetamines and other drugs. Attacks can last for a few seconds to a few hours, and includes symptoms such as sweating, shaking, faintness, chest pain and dizziness. It can also be associated with anxiety and panic attacks in which case, psychological assessment is needed.

This is what I’m going through right now. I am palpitating and although I try to brush it aside, I can’t ignore the fact that I can feel my heart beating irregularly (too fast) in my chest. I have had too much caffeine and chocolate today. Though I try my best to minimize the intake of coffee and chocolate in my daily diet, I can’t help it but indulge myself with these temptations since I rely on them to survive the hectic and mind-boggling exercise called COLLEGE.

Epekto ng Pagpupuyat

AYOKO NA MAGPUYAT DAHIL:

1. NAKAKASIRA NG DIET

Dahil gising ka buong gabi, siyempre hindi mo mapipigilang magutom. Hindi ka kumakaen ng dinner para hindi ka tumaba. Pero pag nagpupuyat ka, pagdating ng alas-dos ng umaga, kakalam ang tiyan mo at maalala mo bigla na hindi ka pa nga pala kumakaen ng hapunan.

2. MABIGAT SA BULSA

Sira na nga ang diet mo, mabigat sa bulsa ang pagpupuyat. Dahil magugutom ka, mapipilitan kang kumaen. Kung saktong malas ka pa at wala kang naka-stock na pagkain na pwedeng gawing snack, mapipilitan kang lumabas ng bahay at kumain sa isang fast-food restaurant katulad ng Jollibee o Mcdo (na usually ay 24hours) para kumain. At dahil sa matinding komersyalisasyon sa ating bansa, sobrang mahal ng bilihin ditto at mapipilitan kang maglabas ng pera.

3. NAKAKAHILO

Habang naglalakad ka papunta ng Jollibee o Mcdo, gegewang-gewang ka dahil sa hilo at antok. Madadapa ka sa mga ‘obstacles’ na hindi mo nakikita dahil madilim ang dinadaanan mo. Madalas mahulog ang kinakain mo dahil wala ng lakas para hawakan ang kubyertos.

Thinking Aloud

           Jealousy is nothing more than a fear of abandonment . . .

 

 

 Mas masarap malaman na nagseselos ang taong gusto mo… Dahil at least alam mo na natatakot siyang mawala sayo.

Heaters

Thank God for water heaters — I don’t have to endure the torture of the freezing water in the wee hours of morning. 

 Gas tankless water heaters can save you money since they only heat up water when you need it thus, saving energy and money. You can save up to %50 off your electric bill depending on your usage. Since they only go on whenever you need hot water, the reduced time leads to a much greater service time, usually lasting up to 20 years

Fixing things

                With finals less than two weeks away, my things are as messed up as my life is. With my academics hogging up most of my time, I don’t have enough time left for fixing my things before I leave for school. Since I sleep late these past few days, I wake up in the morning with only 30 minutes left to prepare for school. I come home with my bed undone and books and clothes piled up on it. When it’s time to sleep, I would just throw all the dirty clothes to the hamper and pile my books on the table. The next morning would be another unending i-don’t-have-enough-time-to-fix-my-things cycle.

                I recently lost my memory card adaptor. I really don’t like losing any of my stuff… Since then, I vowed to fix all of my things as soon as my last exam is over. I just hope I won’t be losing any more of my things until then.

Making decisions

*Eto ang mga panahong umeemo ako at nagiisip ng kung ano ano. hehehe.. Had second thoughts on posting this entry. Not really dure if it’s the right thing to do *

Once I make my final verdict, there will be no turning back — there will be no regrets and sticking to the decision is the only option I have.

Weigh the pros and cons before making any move. Make the right decision of choosing where or who you’re happy with. Sometimes we have to consider not only our logic when it comes to making choices, but our emotions as well. We cannot stay and hold onto something just because we think it is the right thing to do. We make ourselves believe that it is what’s best for us, compromising our happiness in the process.

Think of the consequences of every step you take. Sometimes playing safe is the easiest way to avoid getting hurt. Consider where you would benefit the most. Take time to think, take time to decide.

Thanking him

I remember how I used to be in love with someone for 6 years. I turned down suitors and potential boyfriends in the hopes of he will realize that I was meant for him. Years passed and we eventually became friends and closer as days go by. We were playing the same sport, of the same section, and even the same circle of friends but we never got beyond the boundaries of friendship. The love was one-way and unreciprocated.

            We talked before our graduation day. He thanked me for loving him and told me that I should let go. He said that I deserve someone better (which is apparently not him) and that I would be a good girlfriend to a guy who would appreciate and know my worth. It was heartbreaking to hear those words coming from a person whom you have learned to love unselfishly, without asking for anything in return.

Waiting is a form of torture

“Waiting can be a special form of torture, worse than any momentary pain.

The combination of frustration and boredom can send even the bravest heart into a state of panic.”

            I am waiting and frustrated. I was given an explanation, but still I was given no assurance of what will happen.

            I have no hold of fate and destiny. If THIS is meant to be, then I guess it will happen. I just need to be patient and hopeful that what I want will happen. Everything’s still vague and uncertain, but I am still hoping that this is worth the wait.

Old me vs new me

                I used to not care about what I wear when I go to school back then. I usually go out with the first pair of clothes that I manage to pull out of the cabinet. I attend classes wearing the most comfortable clothes I have — shorts and loose shirt. My accessories’ usually comprised of a jewelry or two (watch and a pair of earrings), I only wear slippers, and I never go out without a bag in hand.

                Being involved in various organizations and being part of a sorority changed my views in what I should wear when going out and made me conscious of what I look like when I go to school. Being required to meet the standards of the sorority and the ‘elite’ organization that I joined; I was forced to be more particular in my choice of clothes. I learned to wear skirts, dresses and tight-fitting shirts and pants. I seldom wear my house clothes to school, and I can say that I have learned how to have a good taste and choice in clothes and accessories. I am not saying it’s a bad thing, but rather, I am thankful that I learned how to value looking good and presentable when going out.
