Soul Survival Strategy

At times when I stressed out, I grabbed my pan and some ingredients from my ingredients cabinet and baked cookies or cakes. The smell of the cakes is all over the house at around 2 or 3 am.

One time my boss made me so mad til I cried and the next thing I did was taking some flannels, a pair of scissors and some needles. I made a pencil case out of it for four hours. When I finished, I got no energy to feel a thing. I was too tired to get angry.

A rough week at work? You'll find me spending the next Sunday morning in the front yard with my plants, shovels, fertilizers, mud and soil packets, and sometimes some fermented animal p*** in packets. Besides cutting the rough, unused branches, I trim the leaves of my vines. Every six months, I take all plants out of the pots and change the soil with the freshly fertilized one. I'll be all sweaty and tired all over so I take a shower. The best thing after wards is my beauty sleep time.

Now I am learning to sew. Without any teacher because the schedule won't fit mine. No books as references because they are too complicated to understand. Or is it because I'm too lazy to think? Hihihi. I've got the main guideline of making the body patterns but I make all the modifications. I sew each part by feeling. Sometimes I make use of my logic, too. Hahaha. Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn. I just want to see how it would end up. So far? The sew lines I made are not so straight in many places. But then again, who cares about them? I know I will do better for the next project.

So, what's the morale of the posting?
Stressed out, bake cakes and cookies.
Mad at work, make a flannel pencil case.
Rough week, take fertilizers and soil and get dirty.
Sew a cloth when you heard a bad news. Sew some more when you're helpless.

People chose different methods to ease life's pressure. Me? If I still have enough time to do 'my thing', I think I can survive.
