My heart goes out to those people who are struggling to make ends meet. I’ve been there so many times in the past, especially during that time when all my sisters were still in school. There were paydays when it felt like the money I earned for that pay period would just kiss my hand goodbye. There were even paydays when it wasn’t enough and I had to find a kind soul to lend me some money just to make ends meet. Those days I felt like a beggar groveling for a piece of bread.
I am really thankful that I have passed all that. Of course, there are days that I still feel unsure about the state of my finances. But it’s now manageable compared to the past.
I don’t want to ever go back to that situation where it’s always hand to mouth. I pray that whoever’s in that situation right now will find the will to continue on and surpass it. And will have a future free of worries financially.

Let me tell you my secret dream (which when I finally reveal here won’t be a secret no more)… I wanted (and still do want) to work for 105.1 Crossover. You know, that radio station that features smooth jazz and rhythm & blues music. I love that radio station! It’s located just a few blocks away. And I always see it when I was still working that side of the town.
I fancy myself being a disc jockey. No, not the likes that you hear at those local stations spewing nonsense daily. Or the better radio stations like RX, TM or Wave. If you listen to Crossover, you’d know DJs don’t really talk that much. I like that. I just want to work with all those songs that I love listening to over and over again.
There’s a longer version of this secret dream of mine. It’s tied to college life but I won’t bore you with the details. Suffice it to say that I harbored and still do actually a dream of becoming a Crossover DJ.
Do you find it weird that I only have a specific radio station in mind? Oh, I also want to meet Dave Koz and he’s somewhat tied to the station…

I feel so bad that all I want to do is sleep until the bad feeling goes away.

Yes! I am gaining momentum now. I have been struggling for days, not being able to finish anything because of this lethargy cloaked over me. Hirap labanan! Today, I was able to finish some tasks na.
This is the problem with me. If I want something, I can be paralyzed by the need to have it. I can’t focus on anything else because I am focused on that something I can’t have right away. Ganon ako talaga. Thank God I am able to fight this crazy longing for that something. Slowly but surely is the right away…
Okay, back to work muna!

Hazel will be a flower girl in my friend’s wedding by next week. She’s excited because her gown is really beautiful. She feels like a little princess when she tried it on. We even took some photos of her but I thought I will just post the photos on the wedding day.
She’s growing up so fast. She’s shy in front of other people at first but give her a few minutes to adjust and you will see a very active little girl who loves to sing, dance, and strike a pose!

I easily get enticed by anything looking edible and delicious. And there are a lot of edible-looking things around right now. So when we go to the mall, I make sure to stir away from restaurants and other food establishments. Or else I will be tempted to try one, eat a lot and spend unnecessarily.
Such is the story of my life these days. Food, FB and a lot of personal down time. Might be a preparation for next year, huh?!
I am hungry right this very minute. Thank goodness for my brother who caters to my food cravings early in the morning

One of my friends will be getting married by next week. A Honeymoon Getaway, that’s what they need. They already have a kid and my friend’s working nonstop for their wedding expenses. I know that they need some time alone, away from any distraction.
They can spend their honeymoon at the Karisma Hotels. They can choose from the different resorts under Karisma and spend a much needed alone time in stretches of white sand and blue waters, most conducive to romance. Perhaps for their daughter’s new brother or sister?
For a honeymoon destination or even wedding packages, go to KarismaHotels.com now and avail of the beautiful Mexican Riviera with your partner for life.

My brother is already a second year college student. He’s in his second semester for this year. He’s taking up Information Technology. I always pray that my brother will be guided all throughout. He easily gets into trouble. It won’t take much to provoke him or make him angry. He got it from our dad. Almost all the men in my dad’s side of the family are hotheads. And I always have this fear that my brother would get into trouble because of it.
I pray that he will learn to be patient and to control his emotions. And that he will graduate on time. And that he will live a successful life and find someone who can be his partner through thick and thin.

I get easily bored with my blog themes. Like this blog’s theme. I feel like changing it again. I just don’t know what theme I will be using this time around but I just might do some renovation here and there this coming weekend. Or I might not. Hmm…
The same goes with whatever I am doing. I just need several things going on at once to stay sane. I get distracted and to stay focused, I need something to divert my attention even for a few minutes. And then I can go back to whatever I am doing and finish it. Weird, ‘no? I’ve always been like this, even when I was still studying. I needed a diversion, like another book or another assignment on the side, so as to finish the one I was doing.
That’s me!

My aunt loves Cole Haan shoes. She has a dozen pairs of it, if I am not mistaken. She just loves the quality and the comfort the brand give her.
I bet for their coming wedding anniversary, she and her husband will go on a shopping spree again. Her husband is very generous to her and he indulges her passion for shoes. It doesn’t matter if it’s pricey or not, as long as my aunt wants it, her husband gives. I think I will have to talk to my aunt about getting some still unused shoes out of her walk-in closet. Hehehe

I love this app in Facebook where you can get quotes from Paulo Coelho. Today I got this quote from him…
The best way to serve God is by going in search of your own dreams. Only the happy can spread happiness.
I believe this. You see, how can you spread positive vibes and happiness to those around you when you are full of negative energy and is depressed or sad. I think it will come out as insincere and forced, don’t you think? I try to stay positive all the time because I easily get depressed. That’s why I don’t read tragic stories as much as possible because it depresses me a lot. And I get affected easily by things I see and hear.
I smile and think positive thoughts. I watch Mr. Bean with Hazel for the simple pleasure of laughing at his silly antics. I watch cooking and travel shows a lot because it gives me positive ideas. These are the things I do to make my day happy.
What about you?
