excerpts from my life

Day-to-day

Hello 2011!

Spent the new year with my family, watching people jumping and flying around in the National China Acrobatic Circus. I now have secret fantasies of joining the circus and being flung around like I weigh a pound. Haha.

It feels weird to welcome the new year now, it really does seem so soon. 2010 went by so fast that I barely noticed it ending. I should start setting my goals for this year before time gets ahead of me again.

Hoping not just for an awesome year, but an awesome decade ahead. 🙂


Thank you, and Happy Holidays!

Some of the gifts I got this Christmas:

Best Christmas gift for 2010? Perseus (my iTouch!) of course. Although it’s also the earliest Christmas(/birthday) gift I received this year because of the excitement of the giver. Haha. Oh, and also the purple folding bike I won in the raffle of our company Christmas party. Will post pics of that soon. 😀

Less than 12 hours ’til the 25th and I still can’t believe the yuletide season is here. Gah, time is moving too fast.


Good Morning

I have always believed in the importance of starting your day right.

It’s 9 am on a Monday and:

1. I have an intense headache coupled with neck and back pains.
2. I was 6 minutes late to the office because of my brother.
3. I am uninspired and unmotivated to work, and really not looking forward to the week ahead.
4. I am emotionally down and my eyes are still a bit swollen from last night.

Happy thoughts, please come as soon as you can.


Define VL

11 days of complete nothingness. 11 days of bumming around. 11 days of freedom. 11 days of thinking. 11 days of happiness.

Where did you go? Into the depths of my mind and to the house of the squishy boy.

What did you do? I played. Played with my thoughts, played with things I’ve wanted to do, played with new things and experiences.

How was it? Did you feel it was too short? Definitely. But this one was enough for affirmations and realizations.

Here are the things I did, in no particular order. All of these I consider highlights of my VL:

1. Another check-up and ultrasound—then was prescribed the Pill
2. Mooncake dice game with the Locos at Somerset, where I won first prize (yeay!)
3. Brought Buttercup to be repaired
4. Applied for a Globe plan
5. Cleaned up Linus
6. Attended a seminar on stock investing
7. Marathon-ed Modern Family and other series
8. First time at Club Manila East
9. 2-hour ML
10. Celebrated Halloween for the first time (Saturday win)

And now, it’s time to do the optimism dance for work. Hope it lasts me the whole week. 😉
