Suppose to

Who determine what we are 'Suppose To' do?
Is it God, ourselves, others, feelings, urgency, promises, or???
Well, I guess all of us hv used many other factors to determine 'Suppose To'.
Some factors are just subset of another... and they overlaps.

Well... that's not the point actually.
The point is, I am Suppose To be doing my assignment...
And apparently, I'm not. Cos I simply can't get myself started.
:( This is depressing.
I've wasted the whole morning.

Mental health is 123
(A mental health checklist)

Many people, when they hear of the term mental health think of mental illnesses.

Mental health is something all of us want for ourselves, whether we know it by name or not. When we speak of happiness, peace of mind, enjoyment, or satisfaction, we are usually talking about mental health.

Mental health has to do with everybody's everyday life. It means the overall way that people get along -with their families, at school, on the job, at play, with their peers, in their communities. It involves the way that each person harmonises his or her desires, ambition, abilities, ideals, feeling and conscience in order to meet the demands of life. It has to do with:

1. How you feel about yrself
2. How you feel about other people
3. how you are able to meet the demands of life.

There are some of the characteristics of people who are mentally healthy.

1. They feel good about themselves
~ They are not overwhelmed by their own emotions -fears, anger, love, jealousy, guilt or worries.
~ They can take life's disappointments in stride.
~ They have a tolerant, easy-going attitude toward themselves as well as others and they can laugh at themselves.
~ They neither underestimate nor overestimate their abilities.
~ They can accept their own shortcomings.
~ They have self-respect.
~ They feel able to deal with most situations.
~ They take pleasure in simple, everyday things.

2. They feel comfortable with other people
~ They are able to give love and to consider the interests of others.
~ They have personal relationships that are satisfying and lasting.
~ They like and trust others, and feel that others will like and trust them.
~ They respect the many differences they find in people.
~ They do not take advantages of others nor do they allow others to take advantage of them.
~ They can feel they are part of a group.
~ They feel a sense of responsibility to fellow human beings.

3. They are able to meet the demands of life
~ They do something about their problems as they arise.
~ They accept their responsibilities.
~ They shape their environment whenever possible; they adjust to it whenever necessary.
~ They plan ahead and do not fear the future.
~ They welcome new experiences and ideas.
~ They make use of their talents.
~ They set realistic goals for themselves.
~ They are able to make their own decisions.
~ They are satisfied with putting their effort into what they do.

Goodbye Holidays

My new semester started last Fri...
The thought of it is kind of depressing, but I don't feel depressed. Or should I say I think I should be feeling depressed, I ought to feel depressed, but when I ask myself if I'm really depressed, I realised I'm not.
Ah~ oh well, I'm juz thankful I'm not depressed.


My holidays were short but it seems long.
How shld I put it?
~It is a Short but TIME-CRAWLING holiday.
Sounds good?
Wat does it reflect, anyway?
My holidays were boring? No, definitely not.
I'm a workaholic? No, I'm pretty lazy.
I'm lacking in prog? No, I'd only been staying home for abt 3 days.
Com'on, it's easy!
I'm simply easily satisfied and pleased! haha
Juz give me Food and Sleep... I'll be grateful to u for the rest of my life! (Nah.. out of pt)
In fact, I think I wanted the sem to start early, so that It'll end earlier.
