Therapy for the soul

First of all, I don't know why my words are all in blue and there are lines under my sentences. I'm not exactly very technology-savvy so I'll just leave it and hope you guys don't mind. Heehee.


So ( Oh hey! The blue colour and lines are gone! Strange...) Anyway, as I was saying, when I'm stressed out, I usually go by a couple of rules.
I either the play my guitar, go to sleep, look for less-stressed people to hang out with, or just kick back and watch a movie. And when all else fails, I resort to the retail therapy: the best therapy for the soul.


So seeing as how I've been having a real crappy week. All the other rules failed. And I resorted to my last rule. Retail therapy. So after lunch with Elysia, I went off wandering in the city, looking for my de-stressors. For some reason, I thought it might be fun to get yet another piercing. So I got my 6th piercing. ( No, I did not get ALL those done in one day) Yes yes, I know mom said that 5 piercings is enough but at least if I change my mind about it, I can just take the earring out and let the hole close up on its own, no?

And then I was in Allans' Music and I bought myself a little ukulele!
I got a lot of blank looks when I told people I bought a ukulele. The next question I usually got was, "What's a ukulele?"
( Or in my mom's case when she saw it on webcam, " YOU BOUGHT A VIOLIN??????" No I didn't!! )
Well, a ukulele is a hawaiian guitar. Sort of. Its super tiny as you can see, and it only has 4 strings whereas the normal, bigger guitar has 6. It sounds different too, it sounds real tinny and high and cute. Basically it sounds like those ads you see on TV where the music is playing and the waves are rolling and girls in straw skirts and coconut bikinis sip cocktails and sway their hips. So i'm trying to learn how to play it now and it's pretty easy. So I think this should satisfy me for a while. Haha.

We all have our little outlets for stress I guess..
