ninja!!

i was so stressed out these past few weeks..my mom was hospitalized last week, i found out that my sister’s having a kid (this is a positive stress, though..am calling the baby little megatron–megatro for short. hope he or she’d learn how to transform by the age of 4, wahehe!!), i sent my students home 3 1/2 hours before their dismissal and got my ass chewed in the process, i’m getting fatter by the second, i’m definitely lacking sleep, new pimples are cropping on my face, i was made co-coach of the athletics team for the nursing dept (good thing deejay’s the coach!!), i’m up to my nose in paperworks, i had a row with the crazy woman living below my bedroom, i’m getting fatter by the millisecond…oh, did i mention that already??

anyway, that’s not the whole of it.. my cell has this outrageously ugly line on the lcd (but it’s getting shorter now), i keep on forgetting to bring my lollipop ng intsik to work, my skin’s getting darker and darker from being too overly exposed to the sun (deejay’s calling me negneg now, hate him..), my back’s covered with prickly heat, i’m always tired, i had to change my lineup of songs in my friendster account…. gggrrr….

i’ve always been able to laugh at myself when hard times hit me. this lessens my stress. but nowadays, even though i laugh so hard that my stomach would want to kill me just to get her pain over with (yes, she’s a woman! but she eats like a man, i don’t know why…), my stress still would not leave me.

and then it hit me. i knew that i needed the beach.i needed to be on my back in water, looking at the sky (or the moon and the stars) and i needed to see just how small i am in this world. this might sound crazy, but when everything’s just too overwhelming for me, i would usually head over to the beach just to see how insignificant my problems are. the beach would always make me feel so small that i would end up thinking that maybe my problems are not that big after all..

and so i did…go to the beach, i mean. deejay went with me. when we got there, we were not able to do any swimming, though. it was just not calm enough to allow us that. but we got to drink..again, haha! and i got to see the pristine waters again. and that’s enough for me. thank you madam president, for that holiday!!

this is what i have to say: STRESS!!!?? bring it on!!!
