Migraine induced

If symptoms persists, consult your doctor. I have this migraine for days now but so far i only consulted myself. The whole week is a "pressure cooker'. Weekly report, monthly report, year end report and forecast for next year report. Im trying to kill myself thru lack of sleep but still I'm alive. Blogging here allows me to unwind, like trying to put air again on my deflated tyres.So, im here again starting to have a conversation with my computer monitor(which made me ask, is blogging healthy?). Sometimes, i think too much, mostly telepathic type of thing. My job demands lots of physical stamina. Imagine driving the whole day in the field everyday. i've been doing same routine for more than 3,000 days now. And im still counting. I actually hate it but thats my job. If i'll not do it, "para na rin akong nagtampo sa bigas'..translation..' like saying no to rice..lol. Month ending also the time to pay bills..house bill, electricity bill, phone bills, sister's tuition bill, etc. About my sister in college, comes end of the month and she will start sending unsolicited text messages."For today and beyond,may god bless you more with braver spirit,kinder heart, keener mind, healthier body, and true wealth.Good day!'. just her sweet way of saying "where's my allowance".. Actually, my family is a bit weird. I had a dysfunctional family pretending to be functional.. my mother, the most stoical person i knew, just swallow the pain of having a breast cancer with a bottle of coca cola. Doesn't want to talk about it. Everybody will die it seems. But she could be sometimes emotional or sentimental. She cried, the day she heard Fernando Poe Jr. had died. my father is a "point-of-no-return" alcoholic. Ethanol might have decimated his brain cells and what is left is pure gas. The LPG type. They're both a member of Couples For Christ. It was ironic actually. As for me, luckily i didn't got my father's devotion for drinks and maybe,maybe, my mothers belief in God. I believe in organized religion but i'm not really religious. Most of the time I wanted to be alone but if i'm with friends I will be the most talkative. I play tennis using my both hands. call it ambidextrous, some people call it weird. Put me anywhere and I can adjust to it. flexible but sometimes very impatient. Confident but sometimes doubtful. I often speak before I think. I slowly believe that things are really "relative". That perception varies to every individual and that we have to disagree but we have to respect. feel im floating if I got the chance to talk about life,death,universe,chaos, except crop circles and UFO's or don't tell me that the world is flat. All my life I struggle but I firmly believe that life is a struggle and life is difficult. I'm not cursing life. I believe in the "nature" of things. Scorpions bite, dogs f___k on the road, people lie, which is bad for me because I am too trusting of people. We can't change that. A monkey is a monkey is a monkey. Maybe genetic engineering will do in the future. Imagine Saddam Hussein with a Mother Theresa heart. Blissful. I think I already spilled my guts here. I wish that one day I can make a summary of all my beliefs, a credo of some sort so as to cherish my own company. maybe this is the beginning.
