September Update: Stress Relief Kit

It's been awhile since I did anything... well, special.

But today... today... is slightly different. So, I'm taking this class about Personal Effectiveness. I loved my class last year because my professor was cool like that and my new one is just as cool. YAY! Though, he has me writing a paper every after lesson. Still cool though.

I'll share a part of our assignment today to all of you. The thing is to create a... Stress Relief Kit or Wellness Kit. I have random stuff in here and I'm supposed to say how it helps me and when I use it. So of course, I have no real work but studying; thus, most are stressing on deadlines and little details.

1. At the lower right, you’ll see a sachet of tea. I drink this every night when I have a big exam and/or project in the making.

2. The book shows how I deal with my diet. Medically, I cannot be any heavier. Also, learning new things help calm down for some reason.

3. Then, there is a pack of mints because fresh breathe has a good feeling to it. Usually I chew on some before publicly speaking or meeting new people.

4. Then, I have nail polish and a paintbrush. Art is a way for me to release pent up stress and emotions so whether the art be on my fingers or paper is good enough for me. I do this usually when I’m stuck in a paper and I just have to let my mind wander.

5. The bookmark at the lower left signifies reading books outside of my studies because I like being teleported away from the reality from time to time.

6. The sleeping pack is like a sleeping mask. As a girl, I just love how it cools my face after feeling so frustrated from not being able to accomplish what I want.

7. The rosary is something I have almost the whole day. Because, at the end of the day, I can only ask that what I’ve done is the best I could and hope that God sees that as well.

So much words... have a little art from stress!

And, something my friend, Elilea, handed to me around a week ago.

~Ahh, little charms!~

September 7-8, 2012: A Whole New Year

Well, it is... for me anyway.

I've been out... celebrating with my family and family friends. I suck at gathering up my friends for my birthday simply because I'm lazy at that.

So, what have I accomplished now? Well, this monstrosity...

And, what has happened through out this weekend?

~Chili's Birthday Surprise~

~Le Petit Cherie Blueberry Muffin~

And, what did I get?

Okay, turning nineteen isn't something big. Especially when, you just got over turning eighteen which is a big thing here in the Philippines. A debut is similar to the Sweet Sixteen or Quinceanera. So, nineteen turns out to be big blah after that.

I'd like to quickly thank my family and family friends. And especially, to my friends who actually remembered my birthday and had time to greet me one way or another. ^_^

Three days 'til school,
