infinitepossibilities

let’s just say i’m in a mood to make a list. well, it’s my way of saying that not one drop of my creative juices is flowing. good words and lines are in front of the picket line refusing to do as I command and my good ole fingers refusing to punch in the right letters on the keyboard.

nonsense talk aside, here are the things that i do whenever i’m seeing red, feeling stressed, downright sad, or pathetically bored:

-walk-walk-walk-walk
this is my ultimate. just by doing this, all the negative energy that’s within me gets released. despite the perspiration, i feel exhilirated whenever I do this. armed with just a bottle of mineral water and a kerchief to cover my nose, i usually walk the stretch from ayala — gorordo — left to escario — until the capitol building… but on a real bad day, i continue to walk from the capitol area, turn left heading to fuente, off to jones avenue until leon kilat street, fronting E-mall. sometimes, i take the ayala-gorordo-mango..etc., route.

-tambay sa U.P. batibot past 9PM to even midnight
haha, i usually do this when I’m overwhelmed with work. from ayala, i would walk towards UP to sit and hang around the batibot tambayan. no spectacular reason except that going back to UP somehow anchors me to reality. hehe, i practically grew up in UP, from high school to college. so i have this notion that UP can provide me answers that i seek. sitting at the batibot somehow reminds me that I was trained to think and to find solutions to any and all kinds of problems.
i wonder if i’d be doing a lot of this in the coming days. well, it’s definite that i’d be passing by U.P. every day of life as my work place is now in good, old, familiar JY.

-shoot hoops at the 4th level timezone, ayala
applicable only when i still have enough dough. i usually finish off the 100-peso game load in the span of around 20 minutes. i also think that it’s a good exercise, at least for the arms, not to your wallet though… well, it’s been a while since i’ve visited the place, however, since i’ve frequented the place i could say that i’m getting good at shooting balls. my record so far is 75 points.

-watch last full show feature at ayala
it’s my little treat to myself for putting in several hours of work each week. but since i loathe the crowd, i usually do this during off-peak days.

-sending a single SMS message to my best friend in grade school and my high school seatmate
this is the most weird stress reliever. weird, because I seldom see these two guys. i dont even maintain direct communication with these two. heck, there’s no regular communication to begin with. but for some reason when i’m utterly troubled, i punch in the questions in my head and send the message to the two unfortunate souls. rationale? nothing special except that these two already know that my tupak si vet, so there’s no explaining for me to do. what’s more weird, is i just want to release the negative vibe, without expecting them to reply. the reason why i make it appoint that i send the message when i deem them to be asleep already. haha, the assuming in me thinks that i dont irritate them, and that they’ll just ignore the message. thankfully, i haven’t done this in the past months, IF my memory serves me. if not, pasensya na pud tan.god.
