LIGHT OF THE EYELIDS

nice . just watched mushishi episode 2 , Light of the Eyelids . great episode .

damnit .. dling episode 3 and 4 on mirc at an AVERAGE 2 kb/s . stupid slow AF-F xdcc bots T.T

oh well ill watch through the episodes slowly then . one every few days . since i take a few days just to complete dling one episode >_>

anyway before watching i had to write the dialogue for BI oral ... im teaming with julian and malcolm . me voluntarily decided to pick a topic and to write the script because i trust myself more than i trust mal and jul put together .

here's the result . not so good but i was in a hurry to watch mushishi , and i was too lazy to go find information ... got the idea to do anger management while reading thru the thread `ways to control ur temper when ur hot-tempered` .

WP : hey hi man , havent saw you in a while . what've you been up to recently ?

Mal : nahh , same old shit ... nothing big , really . though i do have a problem that i cant seem to solve recently and its really troubling to have it by my side .

WP : what problem does thou art possess ? care to share it for the love of god ?

Jul : yeah , i'd like to hear it as well . you know , maybe we could be of some help to you . we haven't been studying in psychology course for nothing , y'kno ?

Mal : okay . lately , i've been unable to control my temper and i often have terrible mood swings . small matters easily annoy me and get me on my nerves and i can't seem to control myself from yelling or trashing somebody up .

Jul : whoa whoa whoa ... that's a dangerous thing , to be unable to control one's own mind . you could end up losing your cool one day and going insane . who knows , ten years later we might even see you in an assylum when we become psychologists .

WP : actually , having short temper is a common issue among youngsters aged below thirty . it is all about your anger management . for starters , you can try out some basic steps everytime you think you're losing your cool , such as deep breathing .

Mal : deep breathing ? care to elaborate more on that ?
Jul : deep breathing means inhaling slow and long , deep breaths while keeping your eyes closed and your muscles relaxed , and then holding it in your lungs for a short while before exhaling it back to the atmostphere .

WP : it also helps a lot to think through your problems optimistically while you're in the process of deep breathing , because at this point your mind will be clear and calm , allowing for you to be able to assess your situation and take total control over your mind .

Mal : really ? usually i would go to the Bukit Jalil gym and channel my anger into energy to do some heavy exercise . it kinda helps me forget about my anger , but on the other hand it strains me physically at times . therefore , this method can only be used once in a while so its not all that reliable .

Jul : channeling your extra energy into other forms of work is a damn good method to prevent prolonging anger . some other methods that can help reduce your stress include eating , gaming ,watching comedy movies , listening to music , singing , and even yelling at the top of your lungs . yelling may seem like a ridiculous suggestion and a little bit too good to be true , but it helps released the pent up anger within .

WP : finally , you could increase your overall rest time . lack of sleep also results in short temper , due to the brain sustaining too much of your emotional strain . an average 8 hours of continuous sleep a day refreshes and recharges your brain to be able to function normally and effectively .

Mal : ohh ... that's true . i have been keeping myself awake as much as i could for the past few weeks due to overload of assignments and pressure to study . actually , sharing my problems with friends also makes me feel better . to know that i'm not alone gives me a strong sense of security .
Jul : mm-hmm , that's also exactly what you're doing right now . you're sharing your problems with us now aren't ya ?

WP : yup yup ...

Jul : eh shit . i gtg lar !!

WP : wth , so sudden ? ok lar i also siam lar then .

Mal : fine . u 2 dump me . i also leave lar .
