Eat, Pray, Love

March 18th, 2010

…and so work keeps coming, they’re flooding and overwhelming me, I am not complaining in fact, I love it! But, when you work at home, managing chores in between very demanding little boy, you cannot help but complain. These are the days when you need to back track, get hold of what matters most and slow down. But then again, you cannot, you must not, you have no choice. You are tired, you miss your old life back but you must go on, keep moving forward right Ms. Robinsons? Oh well, these low moments are probably hormonal and the lack of retail therapy. I might need to re-evaluate myself again and seriously need to watch this film. I wish it would be that easy to be away from everyone else in 1 year and rediscover the true YOU. Nevertheless, remember these 3 words: EAT, PRAY, LOVE.

White Horse.

March 14th, 2010

Charlie Brown is so right when he said this quotable quote, happened to me several times. I just had to tear pieces of paper (a pamahiin) to somewhat protect me from the sadness that might come along when I laughed too hard and when I’m at my happiest state. This is something that my girlfriends, M and C believe, because like I said it happened to us several times already. Like today…it snapped like that, fast. I was at my highest moment and then dang, poof, down!

W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G.

March 5th, 2010

I am the type of person who has not pretentions. Albeit a few times where I have to show a smiling face despite the hurdles I have been encountering for that particular moment. So yes, I am a WYSIWYG gal, what-you-see-is-what-you-get. Blogging-wise, I am inspired and will open up a lot in my entries when I am happy and when I’m not, it’s either my posts are full of rants or I am simply uninterested, hence meaningless entries. For the past weeks, I lost my blogging mojo, sleep has been very elusive and I was on my lowest point. Thanks to our Samsung HDTV for the constant entertainment I got from watching my favorite TV shows. At least for a few moment, I was entertained and was in a different world.

After a series of long convo with DH, DM, and DB, I am back to my senses . I was quick to be back to reality and that despite reality being hurtful and biting me from time to time, I should keep moving forward and keep blogging. After all, this is one of the things I love doing.

WAKE UP!

February 18th, 2010

Wowowee to a better 2010.
There may be hurdles and bumps and big rocks I have been meeting for the past weeks, but I won’t hit the downfall. I just won’t, that I promise! I will keep striving to be a better version of me.

For the longest time, I have been battling with my sleeping hours, nope I do not really oversleep because I end up sleeping late doing well err sometimes productive things such as online tasks. But, who wants to wake up late right? Especially when you are a Work-At-Home mom with so many house chores and online jobs waiting for you for the rest of the day. DH told me to sleep early for at least 6 weeks and so my body clock will be changed and I will start waking up early. True to his word, I sleep in when I can and for the past 2 days I have been waking up extremely early with 6:39 and 5:31 clock-in, consecutively. I am alert when I wake maybe because my body is used to the 6-7 hour sleep.

So yes, waking up early changes my mood, my perceptions, my decisions and my choices.
I hope to be more consistent for the next 5 weeks.

And yes, coming entry will be what I will sacrifice this Lenten Season. I have yet to make a commitment. Have a cheerful Thursday y’all!

Before the weekend…

February 6th, 2010

** got this wonderful piece from Robert Alejandro. So nice I had to share it here. **

When I was a kid, my mom like to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work….

On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey, I love burned biscuits.”

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides – a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!”

Life is full of imperfect things……and imperfect people. I’m not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults – and choosing to celebrate each others differences -is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

And that’s my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly
parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He’s the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn’t a deal-breaker!

We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!

“Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket – keep it in your own.”

God Bless You….. Now, and Always……

So please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine! And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life… I just did.

Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections.

“Lord, catch me off guard today. surprise me with some moment of beauty and pain so that at least for the moment I may be startled into seeing that your are here in all your splendor, always and everywhere, barely hidden, beneath, beyond, within this life I breathe” – Frederick Buechner

10 New Year’s Resolution.

January 5th, 2010

Every year, I always make it a point to write my resolution but it is only this New Year’s that I am taking my resolution VERY SERIOUSLY. I need to change and rediscover the BETTER Version of ME.

Briefly, here are my top 10 New Year’s Resolution:

Lifestyle change that would lead to shredded weight and healthier lifestyle. No dieting this time just eating right and regular exercise. Discipline, motivation and self-control is the key. Just a little junkfood and chocolates won’t hurt. Target weight 110-115 .
Patience, patience, patience. Listen more, talk less. Give more, receive less, get nothing.
Saying NO to Procrastination, thus proper time management and change of priorities.
Turn into a Sensible Shopper. Stop buying junk, quality over quantity, less is more and investment shopping is my motto in 2010.
Being more careful with my “association”, thus, less exposure in the internet and online circle. Only family and my core group deserve my confidence and privies.
Gucci, LV, Burberry, Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga are the only bags that deserve my “purse fund”, if I can’t afford any yet, I won’t buy a 2nd choice, I will keep saving to aim for these brands. Hee hee.
More quality time with DH, I mean quality time.
Focus on DS academic growth, no freaking out on his mischievousness, and prepare only healthy meals, same goes with DH.
LOVE The ROLES in life that HE Gives me.
Lastly, more time in prayers and church.

Oh and more time for myself, a short vacation with my girlfriends at resort hotels oregon would be very much welcome in 2010.

Accepting Yourself in 2010.

January 5th, 2010

Stop enviously comparing yourself to other people. Accept yourself for who you are and be the best you that you can be. Embrace yourself and gain confidence. Confidence is the sexiest thing you’ll ever wear.
Accentuate your positives. Work on your negatives.
Let love in. Follow your dreams. Be who you are.
Let your voice be heard. Stand up for what you believe in.
Let go of anyone who makes you feel bad about yourself.
Life is short. Enjoy your youth.
Don’t let fear or pain run your life.
