The Utopian World --

Every teen nowadays, most especially the college students experience accumulated stress, sleepless nights and most of all, dreadful eye bags. Cramming is not an excuse because we all know that responsibility plays a major role on to it. BUT HELL, we just can’t avoid cramming right? It’s just we had to deal with tremendous loads of school works, projects and other “unnecessary” stuffs (you know what I mean kiddo) that we opt to do first than the former, which is more important. It’s not plausible to say that “I’m stressed because of those useless dimwits blah blah.” That’s crap, you know.

Personally, I’ve tried numerous ways to have myself unwound from my stressful environment.

♫ Listen to ENYA’S New Age songs. I mean, even if you’re not an avid fan of Enya, you’ll feel relaxed and enthralled, I tell you. If you happened to be an ignorant about the existence of Enya (evil laugh), here’s a sample, kiddo:

There are several reasons why you should LOVE Enya! =)). Or if you really don’t like her, try other artists which you find relaxing and interesting. It’s your choice.

♫ Travel. Traveling is an expensive stress reliever and also it’s a time consuming activity. This is a perfect choice if you’re finally through with the last exam of your life (or last exam of the semester, hahaha). Don’t forget to bring your digital cameras/video cameras with you to capture those precious moments!

BTW, traveling is one of my greatest frustrations, next to singing and dancing. Darn, if only I had a million bucks. **sigh**.

♫ Eat. Eating, for me is the best stress reliever. Also, I tend to eat MORE if I’m depressed. Bwahahaha =)). Chocolates can make your mood better and it relaxes your tired mind. A cold frap does the same thing and study shows that caffeine has more benefits than any other organic substances present in natural tea. If you’re broke, literally, then try Bananas. According to an infamous feasible study, bananas had effects similar with chocolates. It can also boost memory, in a natural way! Does SAGING ring a bell? This is not a problem to me since I had an ultra fast metabolic rate. I don’t worry much of my figure though =)). Go nuts, Bananas!


♫ Just sleep. Usually, during the exam week, I averaged four and half hours of sleep, and damn, that’s not enough! I’m the type of person who loves to SLEEP. I can’t concentrate if I only had two to three hours of sleep. Hindi ko yan kaya, my gulay!

♫ Blog about anything under the sun! This would help especially if you’re suffering from information overload. Haha. Mind you this really works. You have a choice though whether the post would be a public or a private one or if you want to be more dramatic, why not waste (oops, sorry for the wrong term) your G-tech pen and your scented paper on writing your random thoughts. Both of them help on removing stress on your body system.

I just want to share these to you my friend, and maybe this would help you, or not. At least, I only had two and a half remaining stressful weeks to deal with. Summer is in, and school’s out! Woohoo!


Tres is equal to Uno. Yes.

Now, I’m craving for an ice cream and Neil’s specialty, which is fried pancit canton. Good thing, mom bought these two items yesterday. Yeehah.

How about you, smarty pants? What are your ways to relieve yourself from STRESS? C’mon! Tell me. =))
