When I was younger, I was pretty intense. You can almost say crazy intense – I was like an emotional time bomb. If you look back at my archives to my early years, it was very obvious how much burden I was to myself. I breathed stress every day and I’m just glad those days are behind me now. There is no way I’ve resolved my issues but I’d like to think I’ve made serious progress. I really don’t know how I managed to live!
Day 11 — When I’ve had a really bad day the first thing (not person) I reach for is…
The difference between my craziness then and now is that I can handle it better now (or so I believe). When I’m about to explode, the first thing I reach for is a bottle of water because I find that most times I’m just dehydrated that is why I feel horrible. Can you believe that? But it is true! Just goes to show you that the littlest things really make a huge difference.
Sometimes, the bad days are hormonal. I suffer from terrible PMS (pre monster syndrome! :lol:) and one time I even got hospitalized because of dysmenorrhea. These are monster days.
Once my friend asked me why my sanity has a monthly expiration date and I told him this is probably the reason. For these times, I take a bath loads of times in a day. I do not know why it helps but it does and as long as it aids me in keeping my sanity together longer, I’m not complaining!
PS. The photo is totally unrelated but I wanted to put it up because my friend Eko drew it. I’m the one up front, he is next to me, and my travel buddy Rem is the rabbit. Fantastic! 😀

LOL pre-monster syndrome.. I don’t have that though hehehe 😀 I just get ridiculously happy the day before and then get shocked the next day
my friend’s like that too, so once I made her a commercial about drinking water XD she loooves drinking water. and she was like “that was the best 15 seconds of my life” LOL
ahhh water 😀
It’s just so hard to be a girl, every girl can relate to the pre monster syndrome. This is a girls monster time of the month. Dealing with it just so stressful, diba?
i read in 9gag the reason why there are no girl werewolves is that it would be unfair to turn into a monster twice a month 😆
cool drawing by your friend.
really sweet 😀
pre monster syndrome talaga. hahaha
because it is pre monster syndrome eds. it is tough being a girl!
I’d like to believe the same! Every few months or so I try to re-read my previous blog posts (the ones I wrote sa luma kong blog) and I am sometimes amazed when I think about how I would’ve dealt with the things I was writing about then if I had to deal with them now. Every time I do that I feel more mature. Tapos after that maglalaro ulit ako ng Pokemon for the 38th time.
Pre Monster Syndrome. So much win! I am stealing this! :p
i don’t know what i do that makes me feel mature. wala yata! 😆 my bb tune is the pokemon theme. sometimes i don’t answer calls just to hear it! 😀
LOL @ pre-monster syndrome hahahaha 😉
so much win di ba? 😆
You need to teach me how to let go of all that stress! 😦 But lots of water and baths sounds relaxing. Seems like you could do with some nice waterfall sounds playing in the bg to soothe you…you seem to have an affinity towards water!
i try to let go as best as i can. my number one enemy is worry. ack! i guess i like water but in reality… i can’t swim!
OMG me neither!! Metaphorical internet HIGH FIVE!
oh well so much for our aquatic careers. 😆
Haha yeah. I used to want to be a mermaid till I realized what it meant xP They were so pretty! Also teal is my favorite color. The whole blue to green range of shades actually. Mermaids are amazing!
have you seen the pirates of the carribean movie with the mermaids portrayed as creatures of the dark? that is the first time i thought of mermaids differently.very far from the princess view of mermaids many have.
cool drawing.. love it! 😀
You’re right, sometimes the littlest things are the ones that launch the biggest stress balls! 😀
many thanks, my friend will be thrilled to hear the praise. 🙂 i guess it is important to identify what is causing the stress correctly so the right kind of release can be applied. sometimes all it takes is the littlest thing and crisis averted!
I like your description of PMS. I am very happy to know that you are doing much better dealing with stress these days and just knowing water helps is great news.
thank you mr.baker 🙂 i try, you know? it sucks to hold your breath unconsciously!
I detect a water theme. 🙂
pretty interesting for cats right? 😉
You look like a badass in that picture!
is it that obvious? 😆
I would definitely broadcast it to the world! It’s a great drawing hehe
😆 i’d tell my friend you liked his drawing. for sure he’d smile about that.
talk about bad days…………………………..too early to chime in, my day is just starting.
well i hope you have a fantastic one!
