Liberate Yourself, Liberate Others

Image
You need this dose of inspiration, from Marianne Williamson, lovely readers.  Stumbled upon it in my fb wall. Worth reading. Will pump you up. Today, I have lots of things to be thankful for. I vow to count my blessings instead of ranting out things that I need not even overthink about. ☂  free movie pass from our company (planning to use it for Spiderman next week!) ☂  gift of friends ;) ☂  to the one who invented karaoke (had a blast singing with my crew! got 100 several times. haha. broken scoring algorithm) ☂  gift of new found friends ☂  strength of leaving out the extra baggage that makes our everyday heavier ☂  happy feeling of cheering up someone ☂ realizing that you can control yourself and emotions  ☂  knowing, that in some ways, you have influenced people in doing something that could have a positive effect on them ☂ Marisa de los Santos of Love Walked In {book} ☂  Opening up and compromises with housemates ...

Striped Straws and Happiness

Image
Home, I missed you. I've been sleeping in the wee hours of the morning since Monday. Bad. Now, I had to get home by commuting, no matter what it takes. I have to blog. =D Anyway, I had a judging stint earlier. It was nothing serious, kinda informal, but I did enjoy it. A different department was having their Wellness Program and they wanted me to judge the cheering yadda and the Miss Fitness. Lasted for like twenty minutes only, but it was kinda fun. Told ya, I'm taking Chuck Bass's Rule to Happiness: Just Say Yes. I'm up for anything this year. :) Let's drink to that. via And, I have something to tell you. I'm kinda infatuated with my work again. You know, the new department. Well, it's a refreshing start of the year. New department. New teammates. New project. New challenges. New cube. New cubemates. Yes, everything's new, except for my laptop. *sob I am just kind of inspired/worried/pressured/excited/scared with my new work because of t...

Throw a Boomerang

*Hug* You scrolled down! I know the header is kind of spacey. I was afraid that you may have clicked on the x button by now, thinking that this page just holds a picture (my header, which I'm going to manipulate soon). Nope, you're not lost. I got bored again and changed mi layout. Yes, I wasted the entire afternoon fixing my blog instead of my messy room. Boo. But, it's worth it. I so love my new layout! I still have your links, just scroll down. :) Everything is down there. *wink* Change . It's something that we all need. My life, for instance, has drastically changed since the magical 11.11.11 . For the better and  worse, or so I thought. Now, I believe it's all for the better. I mean, I learned to let go. I have liberated myself in the process and though, I may have then lost what I supposed was the love of my life, I have gained sincere happiness in exchange. I became better . I explored. I chased my own superficiality. I gained back my self-worth...

That Bachelor Girl

Image
The woman of a certain age is a very charming concept in French. In just about every other language it is a euphemism for having lost, through age, whatever charmant thing it was the made you charming. And for a woman who never married, there are no euphemisms. The "losing" in her case is a condition, a pathology. It is about as far removed from a charming concept as a brain tumor. - Dorian, 38, National Public Radio Producer, 2001 This is taken from Betsy Israel's Bachelor Girl. More about this on my next post.  My thought during this wee hour of the morning: I believe women who have just walked away from a once bewitching kinship out of their own will, in the hope of finding happiness, emit an ardent aura that draws in the assiduity of many a men. And I wish I'm not one of them. Spare me the burden of popping man egos.  Pardon me for being so abstracted, intriguing and scheming. I just have to let this out, without giving the entire though...

I bid melancholia and compelled smiles a hearty hello

It's 11.11.11. And it's memorable. And special. And sad. *Faint smile.* I asked for a wish earlier this morning (11:11 AM) just for the heck of making a wish. Hey, I'm not nuts like that. It was just some sort of a joke -- a fake wish. But this evening, as I remembered that moment, I hurriedly looked at my clock, and seriously wished with all my might. It's something that I am hoping for, something that I need maybe, or something that I don't. Maybe that wish was meant to be because I still got to make my second wish before all that make-believe magic (11.11.11; 11:11 PM) was over. I asked for something special to happen today so as to break the boring, monotonous activity that my life has. The day started great. I was wearing my bright red shirt. And everything was going great. Yadda yadda yadda until somebody started to bombard me with questions that I cannot answer. Questions that everybody has been asking me about. Why does everybody seem to care when I d...

Lately, I got hooked with this

Okay, I remembered my younger self saying that giveaway blogs are a waste of time. But, earlier this month, I began eating my words. I created a giveaway/coupon/deal blog inspired by Metrodeal, Ensogo and CashCashPinoy and urged by financial shortcomings. See. Christmas is fast approaching and my bank accounts are well, not that stuffed, close to empty. But, I am happy to know that me (and mom) have paid all our debts (that I knew of. I think she is still keeping some secrets.) Believe me, borrowing will not get you anywhere. I don't want to elaborate the drama of my life. But, if you are watching Pretty Little Liars, then you can say that I can totally relate to Hanna and her mom. :} It's something that we tackle together and though it's something that I detest, it's something that shapes up your character and stretches out your patience. Anyway, so I am happy because so far, I have won several things which could really help me in some of my endeavors. Here, ...

Pep Talking Myself

Image
I am kind of feeling down (again) today. I don't know. I am distracted at work. I don't have the interest in things that I do except blogging. Everything just feels so... wrong. Melancholy gets me these days. Tsk. And though I love the word -- the way the letters are arranged next to each other and the way they sound, I never want to be in that state. So, I hit Pinterest to gather some inspiration to perk me up because I believe That's what I am trying to do. I always overthink and my mind always speed up to the future when things aren't the way I know they should be. So, another note to self on this: These lady rules are so right. One of their rules became my motto when it comes to men, my man, actually. But when I think about {love}, I don't know if I should be happy or sad or moving on or holding on.  If this is true, then why did he left me here. But this doesn't bug me like it used to bug me before. I was a crazy freak before, and I ha...
