HOW I HANDLE STRESS....

Being a student of the University of the Philippines, it is inevitable to us to experience stress due to school pressure and activities. Stress is a serious situation, it may lead to several mental disorders. I think if I am not capable of handling stress, I might be found in the psychiatric ward right now. Seriously, being a UP high school student was never easy. Like, you are always busy because of a deadline, and truly it is such a stressful work. I often envy my other friends because right at this moment, they are already practicing their graduation song, and here we are, not yet done in our blog. Hehe! I may envy them but I am not regretting anyway. I am even proud because we are trained in a different way, we may complaint now but I know we’ll thank our teachers in the future for torturing us in a unique way. Wait, I’m supposed to talk about how I handle stress and why am I talking about our school? Maybe because, our school is the source of our stress. Haha funny! Back to the real topic. Here are my ways to handle stress:
During Sundays, I go to church to repent my sins. To ask forgiveness to be renewed. It feels good after going to church, it’s like charging yourself for another stressful week coming. Sundays are the only times I stay at home because most of my Saturdays are scheduled for research, college entrance exams, interviews and practices. I’m still glad that even my Saturdays are taken, I still have my Sundays. Next thing I do is to stay at home the whole day doing things that I love. Like from 10am-12nn, in that range of time, my grandmother usually ask me to go to the market to buy stuffs like food. Yummy! And by 1pm, I turn on the radio and listen to the Reggae Republic at 105.9 monster radio. I’m a music lover and Hawaiian reggae is one of my favorite genres, I love all the genre. For me Hawaiian reggae is an outlet for my stress, I mean, it relaxes me, it makes my head nod up and down, makes my toes stump and makes my body move, in short, makes me dance. Oops! 2:30pm has come, bye bye reggae republic and hello “your song”. I watch your song every Sunday, it is by episode and each episode is filled with kilig moments, though sometimes I find it too boring and mushy, I still watch.after the show “your song’ comes “love spell”, it is more or less alike for the reason that both are seen during Sundays, by episode and a love story. The only difference is that love spell has a touch of fantasy like magic, unbelievable and still, I watch. After love spell comes “the buzz’, I seldom watch that because after love spell, I again turn on our radio and wait for 6pm to drop to listen to “local vocals” at 92.3 Killerbee. It is self explanatory what the session is all about. Local vocals ends at 9pm, at 9pm I continue listening to Killerbee with its “Sunday slow down”, Sunday slow down songs serves as my lullaby to sleep. Rnb songs are played and those songs put me to sleep and then I just realize that it’s already 5:30am. It is Monday, time to go to stress, I mean school.
Isn’t my Sunday a stressful day? But I honestly find it relaxing.
