Why periods suck

Lets look at it from 2 aspects: Physiological and Psychological which includes cognitive, affective (emotions) and behavioral.

Physiological:
1. You get bloated
(its not fun feeling fat when you're usually not)

2. You feel pregnant
(like I puked 3x yesterday in a span of 3hrs, record high for myself. Before lecture, halfway during lecture and after. Sorry to those unlucky ppl tt had to see me puke into the drain at AS3 walkway)

3. You get cramps
(it is so bad seriously, it makes ur life miserable, u almost can't do anything cos of the annoying pain)

4. You feel ache-y everywhere
(especially the back)

5. You get pimples
(this seriously sucks!)

6. You bleed
(I know this is gross, but precisely because its gross tt’s why it sucks. I dislike the sight of blood ALOT)

Psychological:
1. You think about things you usually don't think about
(like violent thoughts about how cool it wld be to smash someone's head into a wall, throwing breakable objects at people or if the bus runs over some dude J-walking and other dark thoughts… u dun wana go there)

2. You're irritated by everything
(anything can spark u off. U're like a bomb waiting to explode at some innocent bystander, which sadly are the people u usually love the most like ur mum)

3. You complain hell loads
(mainly cos u're easily irritated which leads to complaining behavior)

4. You get REALLY REALLY emotional
(like I was on the bus today watchin Mobtv, and they played a Great Eastern advertisement which had tt warm n fuzzy feel to it saying how life's great, and tears welled up in my eyes. Everything can make u wana cry for no reason)

5. You display ur emotions on your face
(u really dun care cos u're feeling horrid. u mope around and u can't control it)

6. You feel insecure about ur love life
(for those who do not have a love life, like me, their emotions wld confuse them and make them think they like someone or that someone likes them, which can be really traumatizing after ur period when u realized that u did or said something really stupid to some guy u tot u liked or u tot liked u. but dun blame urself cos u really cldn't control it-the period)

I know we always make fun of those cranky teachers by saying they have PMS, but seriously if they do have it, they're allowed to act cranky. Everyone who has periods should be pardoned for acting strangely during that time cos they usually can't control their feelings and behaviors very well. In fact, everyone around them should treat them extra nice and show them a little more love cos they're going thru a hard time cos periods suck so bad.

what a week

last week was quite a crazy week. the only day that i got 8 hrs of sleep which is my usual, was sunday!! i had an assignment due on wednesday. wha liao.... i think i was quite powerful cos i managed to finish 70% of it starting from 6.30pm the night before it was due till the next morning and managed 6hrs of sleep too. not bad har. haha

On wednesday evening, i went to eugeney's social ball thing. well i had fun even tho eugeney didn't enter the ballroom cos he was busy printing the photos which was the suvenior. anyways i met some really nice ppl who were his friends and his friends date from his secondary school. AND they had the most delicious cream puff. i must have ate at least 10. hahaha... the only thing that kinda sucked was that we didn't have chairs to seat cos it was supposed to be like that so ppl cld "socialize" better. the guy who tot of this "bright" idea prolly haven't wore high heels before. all the other girls were complaining too. so i only got to sit down for 5 mins that night. hahaha...

the rest of the nights were spent practicing for the KE pagent. yes i haven't really told people cos i tot it was quite embarassing since i'm not tall and just an ordinary person. so yea when i told my parents i was in the pagent representing my block, they were laughing their heads off. hahaha... well it was quite fun actually. made many new friends. it was quite a good experience. they had ppl to come do our hair, and this is the 1st time i'm getting my hair done by a real professional. gosh it was great!!! i totally loved my hair. seriously loved it. i wanted a mohawk, and she said she cld do a sideways one for me and it was just really nice. i totally loved it. haha.. of course i didn't win, but i had a really good time. well i'll upload the pics once i recieve them from ppl. hahaha..
ok i gotta start my serious studying now.

can't feel my toes

2 of my toes on each feet are totally numbed!! why? cos i wore super high heels and danced in them last night till about 3am? yes my own fault that i have no feelings in 2 toes. i hope the nerves are not damaged or anything cos they still haven't recovered. oh man... sleeping late is so bad for me. i slept almost the whole day today other than the practice i had from 9am-11am. and i'm still tired!!
Yesterday was cleo's 50 eligible bachelor thing that daryl was in. but sadly the club was maxed out and we cldn't go in, so we missed whatever crazy things they made him do. and he has fans! how cool is that? ask for his autograph and stuff. hahaha... i also want a fan club! hahahaha...
Ok exams are in 1 mth i'm lagging like crazy behind my readings and i still have 2 essays and 1 project to go. DAMN!! HOLIDAYS WHY ARE U MAKING ME WAIT?!?!?!

Poison Ivy

Went for a social work visit to the halfway house at serangoon this morning. I really do feel that these people deserve a second chance after the visit. I mean they have already gone thru their share of punishment from withdrawal and all the other problems that come with taking drugs, so i think if they really meant to change, ppl shld give them a second chance.

Then after that, Daffy, Elvyn and I went back to Bryant's house which was opposite the halfway house for lunch. Then i went to a farm with my parents! haha.. it was quite impromtu. i just stepped into the house and they were like "come lets go to the farm!" at first i protested cos it was DAMN hot today! DAMN HOT!! like when elvyn was sending me home, altho i was in his air-conditioned car, i cld feel the sun burning thru my jeans la! yes that's how HOT it was.

ok so anyways.... my dad was saying how he hardly sees me and i dun hang out with them as often as last time and he misses me n all... so i got duped into going and ended up missing small group. BUT... i think it was kinda worth it cos it was really quite fun.

The farm was called Poision Ivy. theres a cafe there that serves food they grow from the farm and it tastes great! The service there is wonderful too! the crew are super warm and friendly. hmm.. the farm wasn't that great actually but it had many cute little attractions other than plants and veggi. i mean it's a veggi farm... what can u expect? haha.. but i had fun hanging out with my parents n my little sis. Let the pictures speak for themselves!

Typical singaporean

the master plan

Celebrated cand's b'day on saturday, and stayed over at her place. Oh man... i really love hanging out with them (cand n zara). we always have endless things to talk about and we just have so much fun together. they're more than friends, they're almost like family when u can be urself and do crazy things, like dancing around in cand's room when she was in the toilet, using paint to give people makeovers. I'm so glad i have the 2 of them.

I was thanking God for everything that has happened to me and for everyone in my life that i love. And then it got me thinking about how these things and these people even got into my life. I know it can't be by chance, cos nothing happens by chance. its too complicated to happen by chance since its not only my life that would have to happen by chance but all the other 6 billion lives out there too, which is way way way to complex to happen by chance.
just like how humans could not have been made by 2 atoms "banging" together by chance. the human body is too complex to be made by chance and since each part of the body has a specific function and all the fuctions relate to each other, its obvious that making the human body was a deliberate effort, and only God can do something like that.
So same goes for lives. I believe that God has a plan for everyone. I imagine it's drawn out on a super humongus piece of paper like how architechs draw blueprints. hahaha.. ok maybe not. but i believe in a master plan that has everything mapped out.
Everything that happens to me happens to me for a reason. I may think its bad but then somehow it may work out, or serve as a lesson learnt. I may not know the reason for sure and i may speculate the reasons behind events, but ultimately they happen to me because its in the master plan that God has made. and because He loves me He wld want the best for me. Same goes for people he put in my life. I think everyone i meet and get to know are in my life for a certain purpose. I may not know it but they do affect and influence me in different ways. don't u think its cool that i'm a part of ur life if u're reading this? hahaha... well i can only continue to be thankful that i'm liking the plan for my life so far, and its comforting to know that the rest of my life is drawn out for me already, and that everything that will happen to me and everyone that i meet is part of devine intervention.

in need of a plan

I can't wait for holidays even tho my one week break was last week. I went shopping with zara yesterday. I really spent a lot of money. I was feeling really happy cos i found out that i was in the dean's list and went to collect my cert yesterday, so i decided to reward myself.. kind of. haha.. but then i don't think i deserve it cos i'm not studying as hard this sem and i dun think i wld do well this sem which really sucks and i know i shld do something about it, but i can't seem to concentrate. not because there is something distracting me but its just that i can't focus. and this month of march is full of birthday and parties and dinners. all my weekends are burnt already.
week1: cand's b'day
week2: social work visit, nus open house
week3: mag's 21st b'day
week4: eugeney's social ball n hall DnD

I really need better time management for me to survive this sem. i need to devise a plan to save me from self distruction.
