Ides of March!

Year 1988 - Beware the Ides of March, for a chinky-eyed baby girl shall be born...
...and that was ME!


In 3 days, I'd be turning 24. I don't wish to receive fancy things because I've had enough of them. I'm actually throwing a lot of trash now because they clutter my limited space. I used to be a hoarder...sentimentalist, I'd say. Not that I've become calloused, but it's now easy to unload the excess baggage. Same goes with people. Let go of the dragging people around and focus on the important ones who value YOU! Not because they can bask under your reflected glory and get something from you but because they just love to be with you much as you love to be with them.  Shove off all the negatively charged creatures lurking around without being bitter. Life's just a tad short to live in bitterness.


I'm thanking all those who made my 24 years on earth one hell of a ride!
And I thank God for guiding me every step of the way! ^____^

Counting My Blessings!

I'm supposed to write my year end report before January like how I used to do way back when Friendster blog was still kickin but failed to do so because I was preoccupied with other stuff. Like cleaning up the mess in my room, everything's scattered til now...for the record...it took me more than a day to clean this filthy, mice-infested dungeon! Despite these odd things in life, I have so much to thank God for...

2011 was my year, I must say! Though astrologically, 2012, year of the Dragon, is my year! I don't normally look forward because I don't treat such act with whopping optimism. There's something in "looking back" that's mysterious and magical...even if events already happened, fortunes were claimed, a year had passed and life was never the same...I don't count golden chicks before the white eggs are hatched so here I am...counting my blessings this 2011! 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Bought a netbook for myself! Thanks to my Sister Julie! She paid half of it.
2) Passed the board exam! I'm now a licensed teacher!
3) Got a new and exciting job! 
4) First international travel...to the land of the Merlion!
5) Dared to wear 2-pc in Boracay! (Call me loser! But yeah, that should be my first & last defiance against conservatism!)
6) Spent Christmas with Mom's relatives from the other side of the planet! 
7) Made a random act of kindness to a stranger. Feels good to be secretly altruistic in the most unexpected circumstance!
8) My siblings are precious pieces of me! We are still intact despite the grueling family issues.
9) My bf, never gave up on me? That should make me one lucky girl!
10) I'm still youthful, dainty, and lovely as ever! (Beauty is a choice!)

I couldn't be happier, healthier and wealthier...with LOVE and intangible gifts!
