Simple Joys in my Rocky Road Days

Rocky roads, I swear, will never bring me down. I'll think of them as ice cream sundaes instead.

Quick recap of my day(s):
  • I just received a notification in my inbox that Blogging for Books (a site which gives out free books, yes, e-books only) is now accepting bloggers outside of US. Yay! I left my email with them so they can notify me when this miracle will happen. And now is that brilliant day. I am receiving free ebooks. And I am once again adding review to my Barnes and Noble account. Woho! :)
  • Adobe Digital Edition is a sweet creation. It allows you to download and read in elegant style the e-book that you were given. These permissions are granted so you can't read a copy on an Adobe 8. It looks great and I have seen a thumbnail of a chick flick on the bottom. Free download? Yay! Next time.
  • Now, I still have two books up for review. One for BookSneeze, one for Blogging for Books. Good luck to me. They're both inspirational and they suit my present days.
  • A close friend, S, texted me. Said she was with our high school friends. :( And I am missing out. They're off in Rockwell while I am stuck in my company shuttle. Tsk. I should get a life, eh? Mister D is going to Spain to study. Wow, talk about an amazing, exciting, culture rich life. A part of me want to be a lost girl in a new city. Sounds fun.
  • Work is a foreign word in my apartment. Enough said. I was about to rant. 
  • A bunch of friends were planning on this little something that could change our lives forever. Well, the move is quite interesting. Educational. An improvement. Self-discovery. An opportunity. A would be life saver, if ever. A future back up. The Plan B. Sorry, I'm being vague again. xD
  • I haven't watched MonteCarlo. Or Transformers 3. I'll make sure I can watch HP! I am such a loser. Loser. I hate being busy.
  • I am engrossed with the mantra, "Know your passion and make a living out of it." And for once in my life, the practical Jane wants to be bold and adventurous, spontaneous, free and effing happy. I am out to find a life that I want to live. (Thanks to the internet, inspiration books/stories, StumbleUpon and success stories.) I am starting to realize that my months are going away with me doing nothing, but a bunch of pointless blog posts, some articles, my project, and work. Families? Haven't seen them for a while? Boyfriend? Texted him once a day. Dogs? Never played with them for like forever. Going out? Not one. 
  • The most positive thing that have happened to me because of these busy bee days: I lost some weight! And my pants aren't that tight and my cheekbones are showing up again. But my hair? Stressed. My room? A mess.
  • The writing sites are being *effed* up. Triond is giving low payouts and Factoidz seem to be a scam. I don't know if I want to continue writing with them anymore. Next move? Build my blogs? Instead of writing for them and having the Google Adsense earnings split, I can build my own empire, right? Uh, wrong. 
  • Another saying to live by: Don't catch the eggs before they hatch. And wait, we had this conversation weeks ago (with officemates) on how chickens multiply. Do they mate? Because they said all you have to do is feed the chicken with this certain kind of feed and they'll produce eggs. Eh? Haven't seen chickens make love. Lol.
  • I just want to chill, even for a while. Ugh. I want to extend my nights on the apartment. Haven't got my alone time for a loong time. And mom sent me a horoscope again. Weird, but my horoscopes actually do have some connections with what is really going on in my life. Here it is and I don't know what it means. It must be the vague thing that I was talking about some bullets ago. 
Don't let feelings get in the way of a good decision. Your productivity will falter if you take on too much or overreact to what's going on around. Charm and diplomacy will be your saving grace.

T_T It's about my career. I don't know what good decision this is. There's two that I can think of. I don't know which. And I do falter with my work now. I think too much and gets discouraged. Maybe because I'm really not into what I'm doing. I often daydream when attending seminars. And I had a hard time going back. Tsk. Charm? Just like what a friend said about me, I'm like a damsel attracting help, even when I'm not asking for it or even if I don't need it. Not that I don't like it.

Me, telling myself everything will turn out right soon. And that He'll help me. 


So, I'm off. I can't sleep. I will just read. The ebooks, remember? Nite. Wish the stardust fall down your eyelids and make you dream of a sweet one.

The Magic of Falling in Love with A Reader

So, I was torn between doing my critical article review for my Economics class, working online and blogging earlier. School assignment triumphed, blogging won the second place. Side hustling is for later. Congralute me, loves? Tumblr photo credit But before that, this sneaky article entitled,  Why Readers, Scientifically, Are The Best People To Fall In Love With caught my attention and while reading, I can't help but feel kilig for my boyfriend because he got a reader as a girlfriend. Haha. See, I like reading. I love reading way back in elementary. Dad got me a basket-full of books when he goes home (from working over the sea). The only thing that I have regretted is reading Sweet Valley Kids because it has poisoned my mind in finding true love and first kisses when I was just ten or eleven freaking years old. When I have kids, love story books should be out of their shelves. Real novels only, soon-to-be-babies. I am not claiming that I am this notorious r

In Case of Housemate Disputes, Smile

Happy isn't really a word to describe my day today. Today is like one of those bad hair days, made heavier by bitter longings and ended by irritating conversations. Back then, having a bad day in school is tolerable since I know total peace and quiet is waiting for me when I go home. My home scenario: Play with my dogs. Hug my mom. And eat a home-cooked dinner. Now that I am older and working, I have nothing to pour my days’ negativities on to but the internet. I am lucky if everything is smooth-sailing in the apartment. However, apartment life with fellow young professionals isn’t glam. It isn’t about house parties and beer anymore. You saw unwashed dishes on the sink this morning. You have gone home from work, yet they’re still there. Tomorrow morning, those unclean utensils are the first ones to greet you good morning while you brush your teeth. Nevertheless, smile. It’s a Saturday and your sleeping hours are extended. Finally, a 12-hour sleep, but, knock knock. Oh,

Weekly Wishes { Week 4 | May 2014 }

I am such a sucker for lists and goals that my brain does the forward trick, making me think of soooo many things at one time, making my body dead tired to do anything. Lol. Or maybe that is just my slacker excuse for being such a lazy ass. Now, I am going to tell you all about my failed goal tracker systems.  FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 1 - Wordpress Daily Tracker Blog Anyway, I did a temporary blog on my goals. I called it, "How Did The Dame Do Today?" . I was only active for three months there. Hah. I had a following though. Wordpress can really get you readers. Makes me think of migrating my personal blog in there. But again, I am toooo lazy to do it and I am quite afraid I might lose some posts. It's an abandoned blog now. Oh, well. FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 2 - Monthly Goals Last month , I started this monthly goals. Complete with typography if I may say. It went well for... a day? Yeah, just with the goal-setting part. What a shame. The poster
