10 Ways of Releasing Stress:
Well, that's according to me

1. Do some massage
I couldn't really afford some massage treatments in classy places, but I sometimes ask a friend to do it on me, either on my temples or on my palms. It's a soothing thing to do, especially in school.
2. Talk out loud 'til i tire of doing all the talking
Yeah, don't be surprised that I sometimes blabber too much in very stressful situations. It's just my way of saying "I'm tired, but I can't stop."
3. Surf the net (or play games)
Yep, blogging and checking mails. watching anime, reading mangas online, reading online news articles(since we don't have tv in Mandaue). I don't watch porn! no, no!
4. Watch movie
It does relieve my stress. why? it makes me escape the real me for a short while. I view other people's lives and their stories without worrying about myself and what other things to do.
5. Read books
After a stressful situation I sometimes resolve to reading books for entertainment. When I feel it's been a long time since I last read a book, probably 2-3 weeks, I find ways to check one and see if I could read it in my room, alone.
6. Play sports
Oh yeah, playing sports is also a way! It releases the tired energy out and renews body strength and alertness. I play badminton when I have time, or play catch and tennis in my room with the wall as my opponent. Call me crazy, but anyone who can't release their stress IS crazier than me, right?
7. Do some Journalism stuff
Writing stories, songs, poems and the like. They're outlets for repressed emotions for the moments that have been so pressing for quite a time. I do that whenever I feel the moment, or when trigger moments take me into action with my pen. I always take note of the thoughts that suddenly come into my mind before it vanishes, like some cute lines in conversations and some unforgettable events in the day that can be so funny or cool to recall, especially before falling asleep.
8. Listen to music
I can't live without music! It's one of my best outlets because I could finally jam and sing at the top of my lungs and be so alive. it soothes my mind, my body and my soul, and i can relax within minutes especially when i listen to soft country music.
It would also be very relaxing if it goes with star-gazing. :)
9. EAT!
Don't worry if I eat a lot after or during pressure. It's a very effective way of releasing my tension and wearied pheromones. Shucks, i LOVE to eat! Though it makes my allowance reduce into ashes, it really fattens my stomach and satisfies my physical and mental needs. Only... I have this syndrome that is so evident after I eat. It's an explainable phenomena but for me I call this a Blaise syndrome coz it's only I who manifest it clearly every after break.
I tend to feel drowsy. Really drowsy.
My brain's focus is very one-sided, right?
10. SLEEP (a long, dreamless and undisturbed sleep)
Do I have to explain this?
Well, when I'm very tired, I sleep for more than 12 hours. When I wake up, I still feel groggy. hehe!
:)

School's tough.
But not as tough... yet.
I mean, i was expecting a full-blown wide-ranged phenomena coming my way once I enter college, but so far I haven't encountered epistaxis as an aftermath YET. well, maybe it's because I'm not yet using my uniform. haha! Really, i haven't totally grasped everything yet, mainly because my outfit for a whole month felt like high school. come on, i have a point. Toni even felt the same thing. she was someone we could call 'bulabog' (hehe, peace Toni!) when she was in tees and trousers but when she had her uniform on, she instantaneously became 'prim and proper'. She became so serious in her studies that when I entered the room for our Psychology class she suddenly blurted out,

"Blaise! Amazing di ay ang brain sah?" and blah blah with those red and green lines plus a cloth tied on top and coordination of those body parts and the hypothalamus controlling the emotion of LOVE.
I stared at her in bewilderment. "Hey, am I hearing right?"
She beamed at me. "Yeah. And that's because I'm in my uniform. I can feel it!"

You know, I've been feeling the same thing all along. that's why I'm anxious to wear our all-white uniform. I think it's time to put in real efforts after fooling around in plain casuals. I have to feel that I'M a student, a real student, or else I would feel that I'm just a nobody. Take a look at my math! So basic... but my mind wasn't in it. you now know what happened. XP

Classmates, friends, readers, and anybody in the vicinity,
I'm going to give you a warning.

Don't take the green 21B with the plate number: GWW 364.

It has green and white paint inside, plastic-covered foamed seats, with a rusting steel for a tight grip as one moves along the 'hallway'. It is about 4 meters in length and about two meters in width, excluding the driver's compartment. under the seats there are two rectangular chairs made of wood. Plus, a stubborn driver and an insensitive barker/conductor.

i tell you, take my heed. it's not easy to be in there with everyone crammed inside the jeep!! What are we, sardines? The conductor was not even hospitable. He thought we could just jam our butts all at the same moment without feeling any discomfort? Oh, if i had the chance, I'll let us exchange places and see how far his patience would go. I was really annoyed; he was insisting each column to have about eighteen passengers when the capacity was supposed to be fifteen only! plus, the center aisle was completely blocked by four passengers, all holding tight on their seats or else they'd fall off over the edge while resisting inertia. There were also four men hanging at the very back of the jeep. And they didn't even finish their route! they dropped all of us at the highway and dunno where they'd gone! out of annoyance i walked the whole block from the Shell station to Chowking highway and it was there where i finally hopped into a jeepney. I felt relieved after doing that moody walk. :) It actually made me more alive and my presence of mind was stronger that afternoon after a busy day in school. talk about a periodic outlet. but really, i actually got calmer after that.

so, so annoying... what a tiring day. wished i had eaten chocolate first thing in the morning...
