on diet

Im on diet. I know I've been in this road too many times before and I always find myself failing.

I'm doing the morning banana diet although I also eat just banana and milk in the evening.

On Being Thrifty

About 2 years ago, a friend would usually admire me for being such a "thrifty" folk. I usually keep track of my finances and keep most of it for my savings. But just lately, I realized that most of my money is spent on things I really don't need. Like, I find a good BB cream review and before you know it, I am itching to go to the mall to grab one, etc. Worse, after I've withdrawn an amount, the next day I find myself having the urge to withdraw again because I've spent everything already. I don't understand where these "urges" came from.

So now, I promise not to go out every afternoon to prevent unnecessary spending. Also, I won't be carrying my wallet any longer :P I just need a purse to bring the amount I need. I'll start working on my finances again so wish me luck!

On Setting Priorities

Working at home means a continuous test of discipline. I need to juggle the life of a mom, a writer, a student, a daughter, and a HUMAN. Just thinking about the tasks greeting me as soon as I wake up in the morning could actually be enough to crack my head in halves. But boy do I hate this? Of course not.

Being a person who can't decide whether she's born under the year of a Tiger or an Ox, I am hell proud to say that I am used to hard and backbreaking works. You can try and make me hate the fact that I got a mountain of dishes to wash or a pile of articles to make, but you'll fail. You see, I love testing my strengths. Weird, I know.

So what's bothering me right now to the point that I have to deactivate my FB account?

Well, you see, I often get distracted with loads of things. Call it a short attention span or anything you like but this is one of my main worries in life. Setting priorities is where I mess up big time. So I constantly embrace different "organizers" to make me go through the right road. Here are some of what I am thankful of:

1. A Planner- This year, I got a blue one. It was given to my mom as a gift but since she thinks she doesn't need one, she handed it down to be with glee. Well, I was happy to have it because it could save me a few hundreds from getting a new one. Interestingly, I put the planner under my bed so I could write my plans for the next day before hitting the sack.

2. MS Excel- Do you know I have the habit of continuously computing my finances? Well I think I really need to do such thing or else, I'll be damn broke for 365 days a year!

3. Task Manager Website- I'm keeping one right now to keep up with my daily freelance works.

4. My Cellphone- I am no texter. In fact, friends usually complain that I do not answer their texts. :P Anyway, if you find me scribbling something on my cellphone then it must be probably the tasks I need to keep track on. I use my cellphone as an alarm clock, an accessible organizer, a secret keeper, and a lot more.

after the birthday

i have a new hair color, copper blonde.

a Timex watch from mother, money from my father, necklace and earrings from friends from Tifa's school, and chocolates from HS friends. :)

was able to do the whole pursuit to HAPPINESS, LOVE, and PEACE. had lunch with my family and the mommies, went to church to attend a mass and reflect during afternoon and bar hopping with HS friends in the evening.

Birthday

I'm turning 25 on Wednesday (can't believe I actually wrote that!)

I want to focus on three important things in life: HAPPINESS, LOVE, and PEACE. I'll make sure to catch these things on my day.

For PEACE, I'll be at peace with myself. Perhaps do a massage, meditation, visit the church, help, and give.

For LOVE, I'll hold a party with my family and friends. I'll cook for them. I want pink and silver balloons. :P

For HAPPINESS, I'll forget troubles and be with friends in HS. Just a booze night as we reminisce the good old past. We'll drink, sip, and throw-- well, losing control is sometimes a part of chasing happiness.

1. Get a new

color

I've been wanting to have this for the longest time but because my hair is always treated to keep it straight, I find it too damaging to even put another chemical on it. But tomorrow, I'm taking the move.

2. A new dress.

No, not like that. I just wanted something good to we

ar for the booze night.

3. A new watch.

It was not a love at first sight but I am falling in love with a Stamp Watch . Hope mom will buy me one as a present :P

shoutbox!

Ok, I admit I'm afraid to add Shoutbox to this blog because previous blog was deleted because SOMEBODY mess it up. But I think that "somebody" is happy somewhere to even read this blog. So here, I have one!

Being Organize

I want to start the year by organizing my stuffs. I need loads of things inside my room. But I'll be prioritizing these:

A new bed.

A cabinet for bags.
