Stress

The culprit behind the few pounds I gained over the weekend. The explanation for my bloated feet and the extra wing on my right calf. The reason for my periodic craving for chocolate. Note to everyone: Be it known when Claudine gets stressed for she eats and sleeps like a pig and develops tiny but disturbing bil-bils on her neck...haha

Armpit curbuncles

A group of hellbound boils developed on my right armpit. One particularly nasty one shocked my friends who then urged me to seek medical help. This big one doesn't hurt anymore but the green pus is still there, wide awake and kicking. Renren said it was hardened flesh and bacteria, one of the worst infections in history. But instead of going to the doctor this afternoon, I slept like a baby and didn't even work at the kiosk - another one of those lazy modes caused by stress, which, I repeat, is making me fat these days.

Midterm

I haven't paid my midterm dues and time is ticking fast. Money is running like precious gasoline but I don't think I'm exerting enough effort to save some for tuition, monthly consumption, field trip, and if the need arise, boil operation bills. I don't have a job or any source of cash for that matter except for my tWS honorarium and kiosk profit (which I won't get until the end of the semester) but I'm spending like a king. I haven't studied for any of my subjects which kinda scares me into thinking I'm becoming dull. I can put up with getting fat but becoming stupid?... I might consider running off to the kingdom of far far away, or simply dying of shame.

National Bookstore

Here I am whining about the injustices of it all, about my cashless plight, and my inability to spend wisely. My beloved bookstore is having a clearance sale and I could only cry, more like lament maybe. Gabriel Garcia Marquez at 119 pesos? That's wicked man! I've been wanting to buy one of his works but 335 pesos for a paperback is just too much to consider if you'd been eating too much and buying clothes (which is equally important). Oh well, the sale's until September and as bankrupt as I will be by the end of August, a fresh financial start awaits on the 9th month.
