There's nothing new about me having a jampacked schedule everytime. It happens mostly, but I couldn't still get used to it. I often finds it hard to manage and find myself drifting away from all the loads. Yes, a best way for me to relieve stress is to have a nap; quite effective but it made me not efficient. It's kinda ironic for me to aim for a daily productivity but I'm always sleeping on my quarters whenever I couldn't handle them anymore. However, there's one thing that I often when needed. I'm spoiling myself to do whatever makes me happy, so I can be motivated to be functional again.
A few days ago, I've let my intrusive thoughts win. "Cut your hair..."
I was laughing hard after I've done it. Of course, it crossed my mind that I might regret it late and the bangs would bother me that it would consume most of time to fix it everytime it becomes messy or get blown away. It's kinda cute if you agree, right? Anyway, it's a test of how dophamine works on me. I can do more when I'm happy like how I did my best to answer my exams that day. Not the slightest anxiety have triggered me to shaken my confidence that I could answer it well. Oh well, I've passed!
Lately, I've been thinking that I'm not expanding my vocabularies and my imagery is getting dull, wherein I need to discover new writing styles from different authors to enrich my writeups. I've been publishing senseless posts recently, I admit that. There's nothing to be proud about them. Either I still have low-esteem, or those writeups can't meet my standards that's why I'm so disappointed with myself right now. As you may not know, I've always dreamed of becoming a writer and now I've reached this stage yet I couldn't brag my writings when someone will asked me to share it with them.
One hot afternoon after class, I have dropped by at the mall and passed by at the Booksale Shop. Bookshops are always my greatest temptation. It's like I've been pulled inside which I couldn't resist the invisible force. I didn't mean to buy anything because I still have an untouched stash at home. However, I found a gem among the mountain of piles for an affordable price. I bought a harbound book about Contact Zero, bargained for only Php 130. I was drawn to it as soon as I've finished reading its preview at the back page. It's something that I wished to write, and I have thought that it could be something that I could learn from; hence, I bought it. I would definitely write a review about it soon.
Palm Sunday commemorates when Jesus entered Jerusalem and was greeted by people waving palm branches. This event serves as a reminder for Christians to welcome Jesus into their hearts and be ready to follow Him. The Palm Sunday service also includes a reading of the Passion, which narrates the story of Jesus' suffering and crucifixion.

This is a moveable holiday which often falls on a Sunday. Devotees often bring palms to be blessed by holy water on a Sunday Mass. These palms symbolizes the welcoming of Jesus as he enters Jerusalem by his followers, which he enters and accepted His fate knowing He would be crucified. The palms will be used later on the Ash Wednesday, burned and mixed with holy water, used to marked a cross on the foreheads as a message that we came from the dusts and we'll be back to dusts.
Supposedly, I have to render my hours of duty on that day but I make time for this. I haven't attended any mass lately because I got so busy at school, I guess it's to prioritize enriching my spiritual health, too.
This post highlights my entire week. Thank you for reading!
