Now note the title of this post. Yes, it's a ripped off a movie's title. No, i don't care of it as it is, as it clearly states the state of my mental state. I -> Stress
Now repeat after me, "I stress" yes yes, good work once more. Now now, no "!xo" infront of the word "I", yes yes. good job. I stress.
Now, being a psychology student, I have studied a number of cases of Stress disorder in my Abnormal Psychology class I suppose it's time to finally apply this knowledge into the current setting.
I shall not delve deep into the symptoms specific as recorded in DSM IV TR(or V in the near future), We shall simplify it using PPP model (Predisposing, Precipitating and Perpetual)
Let's start with it then
Predisposing Factor: Pre-existing Vulnerability. So this basically means that I have a vulnerability in certain areas/traits that will most likely causes me to be exposed to stress more than other people.... In this case? It's simply... Procrastination. Simple responses such as : "I am lazy", "I don't care"... -.-
Precipitating Factor: The recent triggering event. Now of this, it's a long story but this is one thing I could say. The triggering event build overtime. Just like how you collect water from a dripping well drop by drop, when the jar is filled and it overflows, BOOOOOM! This triggers my stress, in my case... the barring list -.-
Perpetual Factor: Perpetual literally means Eternal, Neverending, so what this means to a person having a stress is that there's something that is prolonging the stress, or prevent the person from solving the root of the problem leading to stress. Now i have not been able to identify this, however I know that I am currently under tremendous stress... I need to have a breather really bad.
Okay. Stop. Forget about stress. Refocus. Back to assignment.
Analysis discontinued.

Still alive, but barely breathing
The semester is picking its pace up... We're in the 6th week now and next week is the midterm. Things are piling up!! uik >< while more and more interesting new titles are coming out, animes, games and movies alike. Now I wish that we have 48 hours a day.
Anyhow, today's topic is the upcoming valentine.
Now as a little background. Valentine's day in a layman's term is practically a "romantic day" where one expresses his/her love... in this modern society, it occurs that men uses this day as an opportunity more than women. But nevermind with that, now what i want to point is that what's the difference between valentine's day and any other day to express your love/feelings?
A point to ponder. It's 6am now and im sleepy. I'll ponder about it while im sleeping. You ponder in whatever fashion u want, ok?
