Relax your mind after Work!

very, very exhausted

Yes, I've been gone for a while and I'm sorry for being too selfish because lately I have been posting too much about myself. Here comes another one, but a lot of people experience this so they may relate to it in some ways. The second week of school just ended, and it sucks because I'm already stressed. I'm sick right now because of reasons. We were filled with homeworks (I luckily finished a while ago) and one complicated project which is really difficult to do and to be passed on Wednesday and it's Sunday now. I have classes on Monday and Tuesday and there may be a lot of homeworks given to us. Sometimes there are too much things to do that you just stare and feel the throbbing of your temples. Okay, too much of my story. I'm here to help you relax your mind after a hard day's work or in between tasks. Ready?

1.Breathe in, Breathe out 

This really helps in order for your mind to relax. Inhale slowly and exhale slowly, until you feel calm. 

2. Stretch

Notice that people stretch when they're tired? Tensing your muscles and relaxing them may help your mind focus and relax a little more. It alters the mental state. It helps I promise.

3. Drink water

Being dehydrated may be the cause of your drowsiness. Remember, 75% of our body is composed of water. Do you really think your mind can function if you're dehydrated?

4. Eat something 

You may be hungry. The mind doesn't function properly if you're hungry. The nutrients and energy we get are all from food. If you're not that hungry but need something to make you relaxed, try nuts or dark chocolates. These foods decrease anxiety and increases serotonin. Don't eat junk foods because it makes you bloated and drowsy.

5. Drink warm liquids 

Hot drinks relieve tension and stress. Try green tea and hot milk. It really helps you calm down. I suggest drinking this before sleeping because it really aids in having a good night sleep.

6. Hobbies 

Doing things simply because you want to relaxes your mind and at the same time improves your skills. You may be good in painting or writing. This depends on the individual. People who take time for the things they love to do are the happy people. 

7. Listen to Calming music 

This is best when you're lying down. Maybe play instrumentals on 8tracks.com. You may visualize relaxing things like a lake or the cherry blossoms. Avoid negative emotions.

8. Cuddle your animals 

Your furry little animals are your best friends so seeing them or playing with them may decrease stress. A cute little animal is never a bad idea. 

9. Take a warm bath 

You see those movies or TV shows where people soak in bathtubs with bubbles and rose petals? it helps. Maybe listening to calming music while in the bath is fun too? or candles for an irresistible aroma? It's up to you!

10. Avoid Social Media 

Seeing the woman who everyone has a crush on posting a new profile picture is not gonna help. This may ruin your self-esteem and increase your stress levels. The instagram photo of your batchmate touring Japan? not gonna help. The thing about social media is that it ruins the contentment of an individual, and that not good. 

I hope these tips helped you. See you next time. Please don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin' or Google friend connect on the sidebar. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bye!

The new schedule & My reactions

This is a photo of my schedule, and I don't know what to feel about it.

Our school has changed a lot since the past president was replaced. Not only the tradition of our school which was replaced by the house system was changed, but also the schedule. I never even experienced 2 math periods in one day and most of all, 2 science classes and 2 math classes together in one day. Almost all of the major subjects have 2 periods taken in one day too. Imagine all of the stress packed in one day. It made me hate Mondays more and more. Not only that. Notice that Science is always the first period? Great way to start the day with Physics, no?  I didn't notice that there was no TLE (Home economics) in the schedule until my friend told me... I wonder how we're gonna prepare for our entrep program. 

Yes, the schedule is stressful and hard to cope up with but I couldn't take the fact that we have to go home at 3:50 PM on Thursdays which means that we can't go home together with the other sections because they have a different schedule to go home at 3:50 PM. 

Despite the cons of the schedule, I think that the best day is Friday since we have a lot of extracurricular to do and stop murdering our minds (lol). Friday is the house day and we get to bond with people of different batches. I personally like my house because the people are kind there. There's also gonna be a Cultural activity wherein we could express our talents through stage plays. We could also gain incentives by joining this.The downside of joining the Cultural activity is that we can't join any clubs, but that's okay for me. 

So guys, what do you feel about your schedules? Feel free to comment below for your responses. 

P.S. Philippines' school starts on June 

Responisibilities

(and yes, she's leading the balloons)

I wanted to be a leader since I was in elementary because I always thought that the concept of leading and being brave for your group to be better is cool. I idolized Miyazaki Ayuzawa (from Maid-sama) too and copied her every move. I wished that a man would save me too, like what happened to Ayuzawa, and it happened. But now, I'm really nervous because this is the first time I'm ever going to lead a group, or should I say, a team. I'm a senior, which means that I'm capable to lead the lower batches. My every move could influence them. I could Acknowledge them. I could teach them. However, if anything goes wrong, then I am to blame. This is what I am afraid of. Vanillant, what happened then? It started like this...

There was this new system applied to our school, that is, the house system. This is where everyone is divided into groups (in our case, 12 groups) with members from different year levels. These are the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and of course us, the seniors. I was appointed as the temporary leader of the group on the first day of classes (because my name was the first one on the org list). I felt really nervous too. Then the day came, it was election day yesterday. I was nominated for president (chancellor) and vice president (deputy-chancellor). I wanted to be the vice president because they usually just assist the president and I think it's the easiest thing to do (lol). I told my batchmates to vote me as deputy chancellor and I ended up winning both. Of course, you should choose the higher position. I had to compete with my classmate for the President place and I'm surprised I won. I think I was blushing yesterday, because that was the first time that happened to me... and I'm honestly very happy. I want to thank everyone who voted me. I want to hug 'em all (jk).

Being the leader, will be a very tough responsibility. I'm gonna do my best to not let my housemates down. This is my first time being a big-time leader, but I wanna show them I can be a great one. I think this school year will be a challenging year, but a fun one.

Unfair people

thanks, google images

I had a very fine day today and I participated a lot in class. I really love my new set of teachers and it really hypes me up. I honestly love the setup of the classrooms too, because it gives the new vibes. I feel that this school year will be even better! Then, here comes the "imperfect" part of the day.

We were on the line with my boyfriend (we had to list our names to be able to go out and commute). Suddenly, the "friends" of my boyfriend suddenly tells him to write their names when they should really line up and wait for their turn. It's really unfair for the people who lined up. I got annoyed by the fact that my boyfriend actually said yes when what all his "friends" do is joke around and not be serious about anything, they don't even add him to their group of friends who go together at lunch and recess. They really think they're cool when it doesn't really help them in the future. It really pissed me off and I ended up getting angry at him again but then eventually, making up.

The lesson I want you guys to know is that, you're living the real life and you should experience what it feels like to wait and be patient. The people around you are gonna use you and it's your choice on how to deal with it. Be wise and don't be an underdog, please.

The First Day

  

At the end of the day, it was okay.

Changes, there were too many changes. The school we once knew changed and everyone was complaining because they didn't want to embrace it. I honestly don't know what to feel... There were some things that were positive and negative about the changes. I try to embrace the change because you never know what will happen if you never take a chance. I think it's wrong to think ahead before you experience things because you might end up swallowing your words. The new system also could make you new friends from other year levels which is an advantage.

I was in the same class (star section) as usual and everyone were always the same for the past 3 years and I wanted change somehow to experience new things from other students. There's a bad attutude in the star section that I can't somehow distinguish. I had a new hair do and all of the people who criticized my hair was from the star section that left me insecure (I have been insecure with my hair since I was born idk haha). I hope we have great teachers who don't leave you behind unlike some teachers who are very biased (one teacher from last year... oops sorry!). 

We had an activity in physical education which was the pik pak boom game where you have to test your focusing skills, reaction time and etc. (it was really fun).

I had a fight with my boyfriend because I was more concious of his grades than him because I want him to go to the same college as me... I kept nagging him to stop playing videogames and focus on studying... I ended getting mad at him because I feel that my effort of helping him is neglected. Yes, I really have a hard time connecting to boys, I'm sorry. He's also classmates with his ex which makes me a little bit worried but I really trust him though.

All in all, this day was very tiring and kind of sad but I'm really contented. Nothing's perfect right? Have a great day!
