:: DREAM OF A STRESSED TWENTY-SIX ::

I've been working for almost six years. I haven't taken a loooong break in years. Geez, I'm burned-out at twenty-six. I'm even contemplating on taking Stresstabs despite the fact that I'm currently a bum and without a work. Yep, I am THAT weak lately! Stress for me comes in many forms and working non-stop is just one of them. Two friends said that I have to 'schedule' a much-needed rest. They said that I need to detox, destress and shut my mind to the rest of the world. I wish it's that easy. My trip to Anilao last weekend was an awakening. It's a validation of how really tired and stressed I am. If I only have the luxury, I will pack my bags (with books and mags), take him with me, and disappear for a while to take that superrrr needed break.

I need to breathe. The world is too suffocating right now.

A travel article from the February issue of Cosmopolitan prompted me to make a list of places and destinations that I want to explore (or re-visit) this year (reality speaking, in the next years or so). I can dream, right? Heck, I can even apply to be a Travel Writer! Haha! Hmmm, that would be good.

Baguio! Baguio! Baguio!
Sagada, Mt. Province (who cares if it's cold there? i'm getting used to it anyway)
