COPING MECHANISMS

I have all the reasons to sleep early and to wake up late this time unlike for the last few weeks when my heart forced my mind to wake up and sneak down as much as I could just to check if that "complete stranger" is texting/sending emails.

 

How do I manage diverting my untouched feelings into anything somewhat funny, childish and stupid arena? I guess the pictures below best showed some of my coping mechanisms.

Over a year ago, I have divulged to my co-workers that I won’t show again in their office if I still do not look good and gain weight (they're always annoying me because of my slender figure). Now, I am making some moves. I am living in a healthy lifestyle. I take vitamins; I go to gym and laugh. Everyone noticed my physical changes. I received plenty of appreciations and I love it. This is so cool.

Wow. What a stolen shot! We bond, we eat, and we talk unlimited. That’s what we do during our leisure. A fresh buco from my friends "hacienda".

After 12 years of not being together due to some circumstances brought by nature, here we go again having a remarkable bonding in Caasinan Beach with my childhood friends.  We seldom have time to have fun together. Some moves to other place, others are busy with work and one got married and now single again (widow) and few are studying far from our native place. It’s so nice to bond with them where plasticity is not tolerated. 

We had a great time with my high school batch mates playing “bahog-bahog” in the beach. We lose the game so our team was obliged to crawl in between of the winners’ legs as part of our arranged punishment. I was the one wearing violet tshirt and colored short. We’ve been together from 2pm-5dawn. See how closely bonded we are?  I love my batch. Til now I smile whenever I'm looking those photos being uploaded via famous social networking site called "facebook".

We hit the bars till sunrise do us part. The picture was taken at Club Alcatraz of Surigao City with Mark (Blue) and Jefferson (black). I was too weak that I cannot hold my booze. As a result, I slept on the couch. hahahha... Shame on me! 

I am getting closer to my younger siblings this time. I have more time to be with them. We go and eat wherever they like, all expense paid by me. I wish I could bring them someday to a place outside our region. Perhaps, Tinuy-an falls of Surigao del Sur or El Salvador of Cagayan de Oro City. But I need to save first. Traveling is quite expensive.

Yes I have moved on but still looking back. I am not not getting anywhere. Still dwelling on the past. Consequently putting my happiness in a cage. I am not into rush. I am taking it slow to see how it goes.
