Stress, Sunshine & Daisies

I am getting a series of stomach pains and burns because of pending stresses.

Why can’t I just be one of those people who take tasks as challenges and feel excited about it and never have to worry about physical ailments associated with work?

Can’t I just divide my body from my work so if my work isn’t doing so well, my body doesn’t have to suffer alongside?

No? No. It doesn’t work that way.

It’s a mind thing, isn’t it? Like put sunshine and cool breeze in your head and maybe eventually, driving in a suicidal metro to get to your destinations and, doing research for an MA and, cooperating with people from work could look like picking daises from a field in a straw hat and a summery dress?

As it should be?

It could be. Might as well.

Prayers would help. It works well with the peaceful mental pictures!

Music! Theater! And …closet?

The Philippine Philarmonic Orchestra will be performing on the 20^th of January, with the concert title ‘The Inextinguishable’, conducted by Olivier Ochanine (this coming Friday night!). Together with a good friend of mine, we shall be watching from Aisle E, in the orchestra center!!! Boo-yaaah!!! Talk about a once-a-year opportunity to watch a philarmonic orchestral performance in CCP, at the beloved Nicanor theater! I have even readied my formal attire and have envisioned and prepped my hairdo for the hopeful lovely evening!

Aside from classical music, I am also looking forward to understanding the best system for my complicated closet. Which leads me to another long day’s preparation of sorting and discarding. I have already made a commitment to always donate old clothes if it doesn’t appeal as hand-me-downs. I must admit though, even without having to ask younger cousins (I have no younger siblings to ask if they’ve any interest on my clothing, only an older brother) I have already given away much of good clothes that I have decided to let go.

It seems to me that my New Year plans-of-action for the first quarter is not yet over! Apart from the hopeful weight-loss, frequent blog entries and more writing and reading, my room is still in the list. Tsk-tsk!

Oh! I just remembered! My mother and I have decided to watch Mamma Mia!!!

HEP-HEP-hurraaaaaaay!!! I have received careful instructions from ma mere to keep track of notable musicals in the metro so we could finally enjoy some great entertainment.

After years of lack of investment in ‘outside-leisure’ apart from going to malls, one of my parents is adamant on enjoying such better things in life!!

Now, on with the next, more serious note (er, problem) : ARE THERE ANY GOOD SEATS LEFT???!!!

Must. Move. ASAP!
