i will do the scapegoat thing and blame the weather for my current mood. it HAS been getting dark way too quickly, and add the cold wind factor, you have a cooped-up girl in the house. i've read somewhere that mood can depend on neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly serotonin (wow, psychology classes kickin in!). depression has been known to be linked with serotonin -- when it's sunny and bright, serotonin levels go up; when it's dark, serotonin levels go down.
in short... my brain's messed up :P
this didn't make sense first since in the philippines, i liked the cold weather (maybe because my childhood associated it with christmas or possible no-school). but here in US, the day/night schedule changes. the philippines is kinda near the equator, so we have steady weather conditions (rain, no rain). here, we have 4 season, and since we're hitting winter already, the nights are getting longer. and when it's cold here, its really frickin cold. this tropical girl gives her unconditional surrender to it.
so there, i'll blame serotonin levels, US geography AND weather for my mood.
i'll make this a light-hearted post by putting this pic below. INNOCENT READERS BE WARNED! it can get scandalous!!!!!!!!
you, cover your eyes!!!!
aaah! i warned you not to look, dog! hahaha! anyway, this is actually a TRUE news story. apparently, you can now use your bra as a shopping bag (no more plastics!) and, look, you get to be eco-friendly at the same time! neat-o! LOL
sigh. just typing this brings happy tears to my eyes.
