Fierce

Third day with the bug but I'm in the office, working like nothing's changed. 

As giddy as ever. Fierce kung fierce. 

I will be relentless. 

You won't bug me, bug. Pun intended. 

Bugged

I knew it. 

I was feeling under the weather last Monday. True enough, I caught the flu bug. Since I had my flu shots this year, my system's been trying to fight it off.  I did panic, though, because I had a lot of mosquito bites last Friday when we had cocktails at Bugsys.

I took the day off yesterday.  To rest. Re-channel. Realign. Re-center. 
All I did was eat, sleep, read, eat sleep. It definitely helped in my recovery. 

I'm back in the office, although I'm not in my best form yet. Just to be sure, I scheduled a doctor's appointment in the afternoon to also validate if I need to be tested for dengue. 

Crossing finges that it's not so that I can go back to my TRX classes. 

It feels good to slow down, though. I shouldn't be stubborn next time, to have to wait to get sick before I slow down.

Yes, yes. I'm listening, beloved Universe. 

Slowing down, slowing down. 

Cheaper than a shrink

Today, I just decided to take it easy on myself. 

To be more forgiving of myself. 

To just be. 

When anger and hate come knocking on my door

In a moment when anger is justified, let me have compassion and empathy instead. I may not be able to change what is inside another person's heart, but change mine.

And amidst a frenzy when I want to pull my hair out because things are not going according to plan, remind me of my mantra that works all the time: 

Grace under pressure, my love. Grace under pressure. 

Bawal ang ubos-ganda moves.
