Stress Level

Got this from Chiqui. With all the physical and emotional stress wearing me down these days, I wanted to know how I'm holding up so far.

Your Stress Level is: 57%

You are somewhat prone to stress, especially when life gets hard.When things are good, you resist stressing over little problems.But when things are difficult, you tend to freak out and find it hard to calm down.

Hmm, not bad but not too good either. . . which again leaves me longing for a real vacation. Hay...

Life and Its Ups and Downs

My good friend Dada was able to put in one sentence how our lives are right now. As she posted in Friendster, "Could it get any crazier than this?!". *sigh*

A lot has been going on in my life and with the lives of the people around me. I wish I could say that it's all good, but sadly it's not. Although when I look at how things are, I feel that this is the way it should be. And I'm glad that we realized this before it was too late.

Along the course of our life, we meet new people. It can be in school, at work, in a coffee shop or in bars. Some become our friends, some we hit off with instantly, while some become merely acquaintances. But when do we decide to be friends with these people? What do we see in them that want us to get to know them better? And how certain are we that these friends are true?

Furthermore, what do you do when you get betrayed by a friend? Would you forgive her or would you turn your back and walk away?

In an ideal world, forgiving would be the first thing to come to mind. But there are times that walking away is the best thing to do. To prevent further pain, this is what I did. I turned my back and walked away. WE walked away. Not everyone would understand our decision, and some may even think of us as villains in this situation. But frankly, I don't care. They don't know what happened and what we went through.

We're better off without her. Right, Dada?

And lastly, I badly need to get out of Manila and have a real vacation. I'm too stressed out. Physically and emotionally. I just want to escape all the craziness for a while. Hint, hint Jerome. *winks*
