Stress pak!

January has really taken its toll on me. Physical stress and emotional stress and other kinds of stress have occupied most my days, from work and from personal reasons.

I don't react well to stress, usually I turn to food to comfort me. But as I learned in college and 60lbs later, that junk food ain't the best comfort food. Now I am over-overweight (obese 2, I think is the medical category I fit into right now). So if you are planning to pig out, do it on something that has less fat and less salt :)

I think i should really get back to my weight loss routine because my fat is starting to put pressure on my arteries.

Its been almost a month now since i have started taking my maintenance medication for my high blood - and i don't want to think about the expenses related to purchasing it.

That commercial tagline was correct, "mahal mag kasakit" (its expensive to get sick)

So it would just be easier on my body and on my wallet if i just lost weight :)

Goodluck to me!

Feeling disconnected...

I feel disconnected from the world around me..

In my old job I could read my RSS feeds when I need to take a breather from work. In my old job I can converse with my friends using web mail or even IMs at times. In my old job I could blog about whatever pops into my head at that moment. In my old job I could search and research about things that interest me or at times about things that are related to my job.

In my new job, my access to the internet is very limited. No web mail, no IMs, no RSS feed reader, no blogs to read.. I understand that web mail and IMs drop productivity, but to deny my account access to sites relevant to my new job? In the past weeks, I've been reading Business World online to add to my knowledge on the finance sector, and just last week as I visited the site again, voila! access denied!!

May porn ata sa Business world online, kaya na-block nila.. hehe!

But seriously, this limit on my internet access has disconnected me from my usual mediums of communication and information..

Does internet really play a big role in communication? and has the concept of communication evolved to 'oral, written, and electronic'?

What behavioral effects have internet usage/ reliance brought about? or am I just "addicted" to the internet? am I the only one? hehe!
