According to Wikipedia, Retail therapy is shopping with the primary purpose of improving the buyer's mood or disposition. Often seen in people during periods of depression or transition, it is normally a short-lived habit. Items purchased during periods of retail therapy are sometimes referred to as "comfort buys".
This is the best (maybe not) therapy for me :) When I'm stressed, I shop! Just last Friday, I rushed to Alabang to have lunch with my sisters and then what, go shopping! At the end of the day, I had purchased a pair of jeans, 4 shirts, 2 blouses and a dress! And, yesterday, I accompanied may sister to buy shoes that she'll be bringing back to SG and... I ended up buying 2 pairs of wedges and a pair of ballet flats for myself. Thinking about it now, I don't have space for more shoes in the shoe rack! Maybe, I should buy a new shoe cabinet?? hahaha!
Oh dear, I think I should not visit the stores for at least 3 months. Maybe the next visit should be before the Christmas rush... But then, I had so much work to do which means more stress :( Errr, maybe that would make me more preoccupied. Or... maybe I should just play more tennis! :)
But anyways, for a moment there while shopping, I forgot all the things about my thesis and the symposium and the databases :D So, I guess, it's all good, very good, actually :)

Kasambahay, Habambuhay...
L.A. and I watched all the the 10 short films of Nestle Philippines Kasambuhay, Habangbuhay at CinemaOne last night. And, I must say, GOOD JOB! to all the people behind those films! The stories made us either roll on the floor laughing or wipe the tears falling on our cheeks. Among the ten, the "Tingala sa Baba" is my favorite :)
I sooo love the kids in the film and the story they are trying to tell, especially when Renzo said: "Alam ko naman yun e..." I think I can relate! hahaha! Here's the video from YouTube :) Enjoy!

I'm bored...
I have tons of work to do for my thesis and loads of work at the office BUT I'm feeling bored! And, I don't know why :( I need something new to do, and need to finish this thesis SOON!! I want it DONE ASAP! I'm getting tired of it already, and I'm sounding like a broken record with my friends as well when I keep on saying that I'll do that or I'll do this when I'm done with my thesis :( So, please help me GOD...Give me the strength and the wisdom to finish this.

I agree...
People who critize a lot..(Are insecure.)
Who complain a lot..(Seldom take action.)
Who insult a lot ..(Are commonly ugly.)
Who flirt alot....(Lack love and attention.)
Who Gossip a lot..(Never had a true friend.)
On the other hand, people Who are Successful...(Strive.)
Who achieve a lot..(Are inspired.)
Who are happy..(Think of others.)
