i found tranquility some place nobody can see

stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that “demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.”

It has been ages since i last made an entry to this blog...
i never realized it has been such a long time since then until i had difficulty accessing my account!
i had to undergo enormous loops of password reset procedures before i had the chance to enter this blog! whew! it was one of the greatest challenges on my long term memory...another proof of my persistence...

My last entry was November 1, 2005 to be exact and it is exactly November 7, 2006 today....it has been a year and 6 days...

and what have i been doing since then?

there has been a lot of things that happened in that span of time...

I have left Manila for good and went back to my less stressful hometown Cebu City...
I have been preoccupied with a lot of things...and chose to get preoccupied to forget about all the pains i have been through the pst year. 2005 was quite a rough year for me in all aspects... it was the year when i got robbed off of everything i wanted and needed in life...sob sob sob...and i cried for so many nights about all the losses i had...

but LO! here i am , alive and kicking again!

when you hit the floor so hard, it is amazing to note that you bounce back so high right away! I took this cliche for granted until i experienced tremendous returns after i cried so hard for months...

This year is relatively better...and indeed good things happen to those who learn to forget and wait...

people who spend time collating quotations from people we don't even though now sit a good seat on my pedestal...for only after a series of downfall have i realized all those sayings make sense...harharhar...i make a good laugh at myself for crying so hard...but im elated to having been able to recover

...and to this, i make my own conclusions:

• If you trust yourself you can stand to be loyal for a long term realtionship, better think twice if you partner can...coz normally, men are weak creatures who are easy to succumb to temptation...
• that no matter how good you are in anything, politics will always get in the way for you to reach the TOP...so it is an absolute thing to LEARN how to be a KISS ASS while you are still in school...you'll find it very handy in the workplace...
• that no matter how much you hate your parents for not being perfect, you'll soon realize you have the perfect ones when you don't have anyone to run to...
• that your siblings are your bestfriends when you turn 20 somethings...after all, they are the only ones who offer you loans without any interest...
• that STRESS is mainly caused by internal pressure! contrary to the belief that stress is caused by people or situations around you...STRESS clings to people who lets it affect them...
• the body is a reflection of your thoughts...so clear up your mind and you'll see your whole self glowing.

and with these thoughts, I come at peace with myself...i have made a decision to reinvent myself...and that i will kill STRESS before it hits me!

I started a good plan for 2006...
-to travel to 6 countries from the east and 3 from the west...
unfortunately, i fell short of my plan...but as soon as im in tip top shape, i will be kickin some ass!

a message to everyone:
if anyone has plans to go with me travelling, buzz me right away and i'll come running!
