Piano lessons
I used to take piano lessons when I was younger. It was not something I wanted to do but my mom wanted it so I had to follow. I enjoyed the early parts of my lessons. But then my teacher started with her wooden ruler punishments and it was no longer fun for me anymore. I don’t think any kid would find being slapped with the wooden stick on your hands fun!
One day, I couldn’t take it any longer, I went home crying. My mom was so angry with the teacher she made me stop taking up piano lessons. That’s the end of my piano playing days. My cousins, whom I was taking lessons with, continued with it. I was envious when they had to their recitals. But I was happy the painful punishments stopped.
Hopeless romantic
I think almost all women dream of fairy tale weddings and happily-ever-afters. Don’t you?
I say most because I am part of the minority who don’t dream of such. I am practical. I might be a hopeless romantic but when it comes to my own chances in romance, I would like to think that I am level-headed.
It would be great to have a fairy tale wedding and a happily-ever-after with someone I love and respect. But am I dreaming about it? Nope!
What about you?
The good(?) wife?!
This is bugging me a lot.
A cable tv show starring Julianna Margulies is called The Good Wife. As far as I know, it’s about the wife of a politician and how she stood by him through the tough times. How she is a good wife to her husband. I know it’s quite popular and because of that the show is now on its second season.
I caught a teaser of the premier episode of its season 2. I was surprised to see that the story is now centering on the good(?) wife having an affair with a man her husband knows! WTH?!?
It just bugs me that a show called The Good Wife is not really about a good wife! Duh!
Happy New Year!!!
Here’s hoping that 2011 will be a prosperous and bountiful one for all of us.
Happy New Year everyone!!!
Sucking up?
I hate sucking up to others! I know some situations warrant that much but I still hate it. It’s just too obvious. Plus, I am transparent. People can easily read my emotions through my facial expressions. That’s me. So when I am angry, I can’t hide it. If I am happy, it’s contagious!
Just imagine if I am just sucking up to someone…
I believe the person can easily see through me! I’d much rather be diplomatic, courteous, and cajoling. But to suck up, fawn over someone for a favor…
Never mind!
Made me think…
This quote, when I read it, made me pause and think of my life right now…
I’ve been meaning to be more focused. To pay attention to everything. To take absolutely nothing for granted. Dance more often. Celebrate something every day. Give back to the world what it has given to me.
- Oprah
You know, I have been drifting for a while now. No, it’s not what you think. I am not going astray but I also don’t have a clear path to where I am going. I realized that I need to be more active and not just let things pass me by. This coming 2011, I am going to be more focused and organized and attentive. I will not take anything for granted. Plus, I will value myself more!
Yeah, Monday!
Don’t you just love Mondays? I didn’t use to, back when I was a corporate slave. But now that I work at home, it made me appreciate Mondays more.
It’s a new week and a way to redeem the past week. It could be a start to a better days ahead, you know. And I love ways to redeem oneself.
How’s your Monday so far? For me, I just had my coffee and now about to start a marathon.
Happy Monday everyone!
What a sad birthday :(
One of my good friends is celebrating her birthday today. I was reading her birthday greetings on her Facebook wall when I was shocked to see a message from her mom directing her where to send the money for the electric bill and that her mom was predicting that this would be a sad day for them here in the country. My friend is working abroad.
I don’t know why I got mad. Maybe because I was thinking that she could have spared her daughter the whining since today is her birthday. Why not just send a private message and not post it on the wall? It surely made my friend doubly miserable. She’s having problems with her credit card bills and couldn’t send enough money to her extended family here.
I just feel so bad for her right now. I wish I can help. All I can offer are prayers.
Exhausted mind and body
Around two to three years ago, that’s before I turned 30, I can easily come up with so many ideas and think, formulate, plan about it all night long. The next day, I can execute it already, even without sleep.
These days, all I can think about is resting and sleeping and just lazing around the house. I think this is what you can “burnt out”. I’ve spread myself thin and now I am paying the price for it. I’ve exhausted my mind, abused my body (lack of sleep, unhealthy diet and lifestyle) and well, it’s giving up on me now.
Procrastinating once again
It’s a horrid habit of mine! I don’t know how I can get rid of it and I am really trying. I just find so many excuses not to do things right away.
Whenever I really think about it, I know that the root cause of this bad procrastination habit of mine is my weight problems. You see, I’ve become lethargic and just too darn lazy at times. That’s because I am overweight and you know how people like are. Plus, I am used to just sitting in front of my pc or lying down on my bed. That’s it.
I’m not sure where I can get the determination and focus I need to get off my lazy ass but I will find a way to. I already started something… bought a running shoes already!
Confused
I don’t know if I should be angry or what but my mind is just full of so many thoughts about a lot of things that it is sending mixed signals to my heart.
I feel confused and I think it’s because I tend to want to tackle everything at once, even though I know I almost always end up not accomplishing anything. I think I need to sort things out first.
All decked out
27 more days before Christmas! Wow! Don’t you just feel like time is flying by so fast?! Before we all know it, Christmas is already here and then the new year comes rushing in!
Is your house already decked out with the usual Christmas decor? Ours has been up since the first day of November. My dad is a little over enthusiastic about putting up the decorations newly bought. Anyway, we all love it!
Cherry blossoms
I love cherry blossoms! I am just so drawn to it that whenever I see a photo of it, I stare. I wish I can see it up close. Too bad I cannot afford Japan right now. Perhaps in the future when I have enough money for a trip, I will make sure to see a cherry blossom up close. And take lots of pictures of it!
Baffles the mind
I actually can’t understand what happened to us. I mean when I was younger, our house was smaller but it was much more organized. Now that we have a bigger house, we can’t seem to organize it properly. Even my organization powers is not enough to make the house better.
It really baffles the mind.
And it makes me want to just sell this house of ours, get a new one and make that one work! I know, it’s the way of the lazy like me…
Hahaha!
Overwhelming urge
Whenever I see our bedroom, I get this overwhelming urge to overturn the whole place, replace everything and make it a better room for all of us. We’ve been using the room for the past four years and let’s just say that with five people using the same room, things can get totally messy.
There’s junk in the corners! There’s dirt that you can’t scrub anymore. There’s too much dust around it amazes me that we don’t have asthma yet.
Soon it will all happen. I will have the room renovated. In fact, I will have the whole house renovated as soon as I have the money!
The Lovely Bones
Finally! I was able to watch The Lovely Bones two weeks ago. I forgot to write about it right away. I watched it and it actually disturbed me. The inaction of the police on the case. The obvious misjudgment on the bachelor living alone in a house across the street. The many things that went wrong in the case of the missing teen. It’s just so bothering to me.
Or possibly, I just couldn’t imagine being the father, mother, sister or the grandma of that missing girl. Not knowing what happened. Not being able to make the abductor/killer pay for what he did. Not getting the closure the family needed.
This is funny!
I’ve joined the cast of a popular tv show in an effort to try & attract a new generation of possible Death Eaters. See you soon, Sue Sylvester. – Lord Voldemort
I am following Lord Voldemort in Twitter and he dishes out one hilarious sarcastic tweet after another! If you like to read something funny daily, go follow one of the most famous villains in history!
Hahaha!
Patrick McDreamy
Patrick Dempsey is the ultimate leading man in romantic comedies these days. I love him in Made of Honor! I believe he has mastered the dreamy look that’s why he’s called McDreamy. He’s one of the reasons why I stuck with Grey’s Anatomy. Seeing him there just makes my day.
I do wish he’ll be given more roles in other rom-coms and that soon enough he’ll follow the footsteps of my original McDreamy… George Clooney!
Blessings do come in droves
It does and I am thankful.
I was a nutcase a few days ago. I am thinking about a lot of things and stressing myself out. As usual. I was also driving my sister crazy with the things in my mind. I kept telling her about it and she got annoyed with me because all the solutions she suggested to me were rebuffed.
I have always been this way. Stressing myself out with worries and then driving everyone around me crazy because of it.
And then the blessings would come. That’s the time my mind would shut up. That’s the time the worries would cease. I wish I could just be patient enough to wait for the good things to come instead of stressing myself out for the lack of it.
And here I thought…

Your Attention Span is Medium |
 Your attention span is just about average. You may think that you have a short attention span… But being distracted is something most people struggle with. The most important thing is that you’re aware that your mind wanders. |
