Life has never been so easy. Today is sunny. Tomorrow is stormy.

And this process we called “life”


happens over and over again. But, do you know what is surprising? We can take a break! We can break this
process! Listed below are my proven and tested stress coping strategies:

It was in 2021 when I first read a book. I just found


that book while sorting out stocked papers and books
inside our house. I immediately liked the title and was
totally attached to it when I read the first chapter. Up until
today, I still read novels, and in some cases, essays and
poems. Not only do I believe that reading can elevate my
knowledge, I also found it relaxing since I got to
experience different scenarios in my head. It is also the
most convenient way to pass time since it does not
require internet connection and earphones, not to mention
that it reduces my exposure time to gadgets.

I’ve already mentioned it on my previous essays and


reflection papers that I am an antiquarian or traditionalist
or old-fashioned person, whatever it is called. That is the
ultimate reason why I’m very fond of old songs, and I
can’t contain my excitement whenever I hear familiar
tunes and melodies. Old music calms my inner soul. Just
imagine your favorites songs are playing consecutively. It
is like seeing the love of your life or the feeling of floating
on clouds. The sensation brought by music is
incomparable.

Singing is one of my favorite pastimes. I think it has


something to do with my love for music. Although I am
not so good at singing, I still do it because this is where I
am happy. And I am going to admit that it is much more
fun together with my family and friends. I always want to
feel that comfort, the feeling of doing what you love
without the judgement of others.
Since then, I am an avid viewer of any
documentaries program in the television. I remember
watching Rated K, i-Witness, Matanglawin, or even the
bloody SOCO and Imbestigador. Those mentioned
programs deliver so much knowledge and awareness for
the society to be used. Watching those programs indeed
opens my eyes of what is happening in our surroundings. I
know it’s very unusual for a teenage boy like me to put
interest on it but it satisfies my cravings.

The most relaxing of all is taking a walk, specifically


at night. I find it more beautiful when I am doing this
together with one of my family member, who is usually
my grandma. Around 15 minutes or so, we can be able to
walk an enough distance within our subdivision. We
usually do this after our dinner as part of our belief that it
will help our stomach in breaking down and absorbing the
food we eat. Aside from that, we also get to have quality
time for each other, talking about different stuffs while
simultaneously gazing at stars and to our neighbors’
house. What I am always praying is that: “Please, don’t
rain.”
