Happy Pill

Isa sa mga iilan na lamang na libreng bagay sa mundo ay "Happiness". Pero bakit  ang ilan ay naniniwala na kaya nila itong isilid sa garapon at ibenta, kung kahit sino naman eh kaya naman itong ma-achieve ng hindi gumagamit ng mga ito. Yes I am talking about happy pills.

Sa modernong mundo ngayon nasa garapon na daw ang happiness. Nandiyan na ang mga naglipanang Anti-depressant,prozac,Effexor XR,ecstasy,etc. Nabibili na daw ang "Happiness".Pero kasiyahan nga ba talaga itong maidudulot?

Ang tao ay likas na mapaghangad sa sarili.Ang katangian din yan ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit hindi nagiging masaya ang tao kung ito ay hindi makuha. Di lang yan ang kalaban ng happiness. Nandiyan pa ang brokenheart, illness, pag kakaroon ng kaaway, walang trabaho, walang pera, at kamatayan ng mahal sa buhay.

Those are just normal phenomenon. Same as sadness and Happiness as a  normal feeling. Lahat tayo nakakaranas at nakakaramdam ng ganyan. Katulad din ng ibang tao na naka experience nyan at naka survive ng walang tulong ng magical happy pills. Ikaw at lahat tayo kaya din mag survive ng di gumagamit ng gamot.

We should not always rely on chemicals to cheer us up. We can self medicate ourselves (OO kahit wala kang Ph.D) by simply  being happy. Positive thinking lang ang katapat nyan. 

Nasa borderline ako ng Happiness at Sadness this past few days. But I chose to be happy.I didn't drink any drugs to increase my seratonin and endorphin levels to still be happy. I just think deeper and listen to my happythoughts when I feel like being sad.

My Stressor: Wala akong trabaho  

My Happy Thoughts says:  "eh ano ngayon may diploma naman ako, yung iba nga di makpag aral eh".

My Stressor: I think I lost my friends

My Happy Thoughts says: "people come and go, what's important is you've got your family and you partner" 

My Stressor: I AM SUPER BORED and BROKE!

My Happy Thought says: "Go blog and make friends"

You can't always change things into the way you want it to be, but you can always change your perception and your mood on a  certain things to make you happy -MG

What's with Avengers?

I haven't seen Avengers..does it makes me a loser? Well kabi-kabila na ang nakikita kong reviews regarding this movie dito sa blogger community. Kada-minuto ang nakikita kong tweets ay "Just done watching avengers..awesome"  "avengers is the best"  "Captain America is love" etc. At kada minuto ito ang pinag uusapan sa facebook.

Obviously Avengers is a smashed hit. P281-million lang naman ang gross sa opening week ng Avengers nationwide – the biggest debut ever in history. Dito lang yan sa Pilipinas ah! Nag hihirap nga ang pinoy. Kesehodang 60 pesos na ice cream hahanapan ng ipambibili maki-uso lang pati dito sa movie na ito.

I have nothing against sa mga fanatic ng Avengers o nagpipilit na fan nito para makiuso. I believe it is great movie! (di lang talaga ako mahilig sa mga bagay na malayo sa realidad #idontwatchfantasymovies).

Pero ito baka abangan ko pa..Tangkilikin natin ang gawang Pinoy! #LOLS

Wala na kong kilay..pero may Diploma na ko!

It's been seven long months since I visited this humble blog of mine, and I am so happy and proud to be back. Sa loob ng pitong buwan na pagkawala ko...ang pag susunog ng kilay ang pinagka-abalahan ko. Mahirap talaga ang maging graduating (I know a lot of you  can relate to that). Iyon na siguro ang isa sa mga critical stage ng buhay ko so far. I've been doing my thesis and on-the-job training all  at a same time.

From the past months, sobrang stress. Wala talagang pahinga, swerte ako kung magkaroon ako ng 6 hours of sleep. I did my training in the three branches of psychology: Industrial, Clinical, and School setting.

In my Industrial setting, I worked in a cargo and logistics company. Sa HR department ako naka-duty. Neurotic ang mga tao don (I swear). Hindi sila marunong nguminiti at snob sila.Karamihan pa sa staff bully. Pang katulong ang mga pina patrabaho nila,at yung pinakamalala ay ang pahanginan nila sa mga trainee ang mga balloon for their party! Can you imagine that? but I did it!

When I went to school settings di pa rin ako nakaligtas sa "horrible boss". Napunta ako as assistant na OC (obsessive compulsive) na bipolar pa na Guidance Counselor. Kung mag shift s'ya ng mood in a split second. Pero kahit mahirap sya spell-lengin okay lang kasi ine-expose nya ko sa mga couselling techniques, student cases saka psycological test. I learn a lot from him.

Lastly, sa clinical setting ang pinaka nag ubos ng kilay ko. Wala na mang horrible boss this time haha. Mga staff lang from other department na hindi nagpapa-gamit ng CR (who does that?tsk) When I trained there as an activity therapist akala ko kelangan ko ka lang maging mentally ready sa magiging trabaho ko. Kelangan din pala physically and emotionally ready ka din. Mahirap mag handle ng mga mentally challenge na clients (I can't share the details for confidentiality #Imsorry ) pero masaya dahil sa'min mga psychology student fullfillment ang makapasok ka sa mundo nila at maka survive!

Now that I graduated all I want to do is to stay at home blog and sleep forever.haha but kidding aside gusto ko muna mag pahinga at i-condition ang sarili ko before ako sumabak sa real world. Sana lang di ako mapunta sa horrible bosses but even kung meron okay lang di na bago sa'kin yan hahah.

Sa buhay, hindi lahat magiging mabait sa'yo, its up to you how to handle the situation and survive. Who agrees with me? :)

HBD!!!

Today is my blogs birthday!!!yey!!!

Miss Guided made around 108 post, 368 comments, 6,385 page views,58 followers,and has gain numerous readers in three amazing years.

This has been my place to talk about good and bad news, to learn about a ton of new things and has taken up so much of my time over the past year.

I want to thank Blogger, for you have been a great place for my rants, for my not-so-exciting stories, and for those things in my mind that people in real life won’t pay attention to. You have been a comfort zone to many people. You have been a perfect place for a variety of feelings and emotions needed to be vented out.

Also, I want to thank my followers and readers. I thank you all for though my posts are boring, and though the X button is tempting you to click it most of the time, you’re still there. I also thank those people I follow for inspiring me. Thank you for you have been a great motivation for me to share my thoughts and not just keep them to myself.

I know this past months I've been invisible to the blogger community. I seldom blog hop and post. I'm really busy that even my twitter account I forgot to update.But I will never forget the day I gave birth to my blog. (proud mama!!*tears)

I will be a blue blooded blogger again when I get my diploma hopefully next year!!! :)

Heart to Art

A man Paints with his brain not with his hands
-Michelangelo

Last week I have a very busy week. I have to prepare for a report, research and a thesis problem. Being a graduating student is very exhausting. The good part is you learn how to be more productive and responsible. But the sad part is you become neurotic and insensitive caused by stressed from all the task you need to accomplish.And that give birth to conflict between me and people around me.

I know I'm not the only person who is experiencing this 'burn out" thing. Actually most of us is dealing with this , and some have bigger burden and complicated task compare to mine. But they'd handle it pretty well.And I was very thankful to my professor for introducing Art Therapy.It helped me to clear my mind and acknowledge my problem.

This art therapy is part of our lesson in the class. She let us experience how art therapy works. For some who's not familiar with art therapy, Art therapy is psychotherapeutic transference process where in symbolic self-expression is visible as communicated in the art. There are different kind of art therapies, and some of those interprets if someone is depressed, experiencing trauma and developing psychological disorder.

In our therapy session, we express our emotions through art. Everything that we desire and our hopes was put into a paper. It helped us to more motivated in spite a busy schedules and it helped us to release our stress and burdens.



When you are having a bad day. And you feel like screaming because of stress, hatred, burnout. I suggest, you go to a quite room. Get a pencil and a paper. And put all your negative feelings into art. I tell you it works!

24 Hours isn't Enough!

Naalala ko no'ng summer...halos gumulong at magpiko lang ako sa little haven ko dahil sa wala akong magawa kundi tumunganga. Nabilang ko na kung ilang beses magpakita ang mga ipis, ilang minuto bago mag lakad ang butiki at gaano kadami ang langgam sa kusina. Nag paka inutil ako in short. Kasabay ng pag mamasid sa mga insekto na nagpa-party party dito sa bahay. Nabuhay ko ang isa ko pang blog na si En (opo akin yan! huwaaat!!).

Sa kalagitanaan ng summer nagkaroon ako ng Part time job! At akalain mong naisingit ko pa yan kahit alam kong kailangan ng full time attention ang pagmamasid ko sa mga friendly insects dito sa amin. Ang trabaho na kahit paano nag pabilis ng napakahabang bente kwatro oras ko ay pagiging Part time labandera/ frustatedcook/ hardinera /personal assistant by day at blogger by night.

Pero ngayon, full time student na ulit ako. Kung gaano kabagal ang oras ng summer ganon din naman kabilis ngayon. I'm taking up my thesis and some major subjects na sadyang napaka hirap. Kung tutuusin di naman ganon kahirap, kaso nga lang ang sisipag ng mga "Profeshor" ko ngayon. Kung ano anik anik na research, presentation at case study ang pinapagawa. Harooo!!

Hindi naman sa nag rereklamo ako. Gusto ko nga yung ganito. Yung feeling na productive talaga compare nong summer. Ang problema lang so many things to do, so little time!! Kulang ang 24 hours sa kin!! Paano ko pag kakasayahin ang mga ss:

• Research ng anik anik na theorya ni pareng Freud,Horney,Adler.
• (time consuming) Case study
• Seminar presentation (time management pa ang topic ko hahahha)
• THESIS!!!
  
• DVD marathon ng smallville, desperate housewives, Grey'z Anatomy (ito talaga ang pinaka importante sa lahat hahah)

Isama mo pa yung pag update sa blog. I'm doomed!!

Little things that makes me smile

They say it's hard to make a flower bloom. You should have knowledge about the art and the science of a flower. I don't know how to cut their stems or what should I put in the soil so it won't dry. But one day when I woke up I saw this red pinkish rose in my terrace.

All I ever did is refresh them with water!When I look at them. They seem like smiling back at me.
Yes! I do have a golden hands *LOL

When your morning starts and you are ready to go to your work or school. And when you realized that your day would be a hard day because of stress brought by your deadline for paperwork and a terror teacher. Start your day with thinking of the little things that you have accomplished the day before. Giving coffee to your office mate, giving seat to a pregnant woman is counted. Every person that you put smile in their faces is a great accomplishment. So start your day with a smile :)
