10 Things Women Do When They Get Depressed

I had a realization over the past few days that women do have a depression habit. Yes, it’s a UNIVERSAL habit. So, I’ve listed 10 common activities of sad, suicidal (kidding) women.

1. EAT A LOT.

It must be the comfort they get from eating, but I don’t know why these set of food has always been the depressing menu:

A. Ice cream

B. Junk food

C. Big fat fried chicken. HAHA (Or this is only me.)

2. CUT THEIR HAIRS, MAKE A STATEMENT.

This is one of the most stupid things we, women, do after a break-up or even just because we’re sad things didn’t go well.

Let’s admit it, our hair is our prized possession. So cutting it short, or going bald (if you’re going insane) is not the best way to handle heartaches. I’ve known a lot of friends who’ve done it, including me, and I regret it after a week or so. 

3. WATCH THIS-IS-TOO-CHEESY-BUT-IT’S-OKAY-COZ-I’M-DEALING-WITH-A-HEARTBREAK MAINSTREAM ROMANTIC FILMS.

Spend the whole day inside the room, lock yourself, lie down, watch romantic, I-wanna-die-now films, feel like a useless piece of scrap, then what? Women just end up having huge puffy bags under their eyes, look miserable, get fat because they prefer to be like a mummy living under their bedsheets, and feel worse because they never get over what just happened. Sad.

4. MAKE LITTLE JOHNNY THEIR BEST FRIEND, GET WASTED.

Let me introduce you to Little Johnny, Johnny Walker. He has a few more friends too, there’s Mr. Jose and Tinkerbell (Absinthe fairy). 

Nothing’s better than forgetting things for the night, well… Remember it the moment you wake up with puke all over your bed, and repeat it everyday. Haha.

5. DOWNLOAD THE SADDEST PLAYLIST AND CRY THEIR HEARTS OUT.

Is that you, Taylor Swift? HAHA! Just kidding, but seriously. There’s something about music that keeps us, girls too emotional. Perfect songs for the perfect heartbreaking moment.

Plastic Balloons

(I wanna write this post in Tagalog so that I could really show how happy this day was. I’ll try to be fluent, but if I can’t, pardon me. HAHA)

So ayun, naranasan niyo ba nung bata kayo na humihingi kayo parati ng dalawang piso sa parents niyo para lang makabili sa sari-sari store ng plastic balloons? Well, I did. As in naalala ko dati, tinitipid ko ung nag-iisang plastic balloon para lang makagawa ako ng three balloons out of it (since hindi naman ako binibilhan nila Mom and Dad ng marami. Huhu.). 

Last Friday (October 04, 2012), I went to Divisoria with my college friends to make a documentary for our Bonifacio trail. Ayoko na ikwento ‘yan kasi out of the main story. :)) Anyway, so went to 168 Shopping Mall to ahve lunch and roam around after. 

Nung nag-iikot kami, napunta kami sa isang floor na puro kiddie stuffs ung binebenta. There were stamps, stickers, balloons, and anything with cartoon characters na super mura lang. What caught our attention was the ever-famous plastic balloons, then we all had this are-you-thinking-what-I’m-thinking look. We planned on buying atleast three pieces each pero sabi nung ale, di daw pwede na tingi lang. Sooo, we ended up buying one “banig” of plastic balloons (which had 48 pieces). HAHA! My friend Bianca said, “Sige, ready na ko magka-beke mamaya.” :)))

So nung nakabili na kami, we went back to UP Manila since we had theater rehearsals from 4-7pm. We were earlier than the call time so nag-decide kami na magstart na with the plastic balloons. SOBRANG SAYA NAMIN, WITH MATCHING TEARS OF JOY. Haha! Parang blast to your childhood days ulit ung feeling, nakakawala ng stress. We can see the faces of people passing by, and making statements like, “Uy oh, plastic balloons! Kakainggit!” or “Aww. Bili nga din tayo mamaya nun!”

The art of making plastic balloons.

In short, naubos namin ung 48 pcs. of plastic balloons. HAHA. I repeat, 48 pieces. Tapos, gumawa kami ng balloon tower, out of kabaliwan lang. :)) Here are pictures. :p

With our giant balloon masterpiece. Haha!

Pictures with Yvette, Bianca and Angel. :-)

Sometimes, it is necessary to feed the kid in you.

Classic Final Four Aftermath

Devastating... But no, it was a great match between the rivals, De La Salle University Green Archers and the Ateneo De Manila University Blue Eagles. The mere fact that the Archers were able to enter the final four match was a big accomplishment for a team with mostly rookies.

Expectations weren't high for the Lasallians, but I must say, the Ateneans had tough grips on their seats during the intense game. With the Archers making an 11-pt lead on the 4th quarter, that was definitely the ONE BIG FIGHT the blue crowd was looking for.

Unfortunately, we had a great run but ADMU led by Kiefer Ravena had a better hold on the game. 69-66 was the final score. Despite that, Araneta Coliseum had a proud Lasallian community after. Something bright is on our future.
