On Monday migraine and a not so political point of view.

I got a very bad migraine yesterday. It sucks! Having said that, I think I need to learn how to control myself more and be truer to what my priorities are. I might have socialized too much after badminton last Sunday. Bad idea! My over eagerness to get back in shape quickly after my minor surgery is not doing me any good. My shoulders hurt. Again. I'm trying hard (too hard) to get back on my feet to the expense of my physical limitations. Not cool. But I wanna be better at badminton again. There is this innate need in me to move faster, quicker and anticipate more. Focus. Yes, that's the word I'm looking for. Badminton gives me focus. I need more right now.

On politics. Although distracted by my morning rituals, I heard on the news latest updates on the American base closure in Okinawa. It was supposed to have been resolved (read: planned completed) by March but for some reasons the plan was not agreed and successfully laid out yet. The talk continues and some people are frustrated with the progress or lack of it. I remember when the Americans vacated Subic, just several weeks before Mt. Pinatubo erupted. There are pluses and minuses but in the end, change is always hard to deal with and goodbyes, no matter how unattached or unaffected we think we are, there is no easy way to it...
