My coffee

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Someone asked: How do you like your coffee?

I like it steaming hot with a teaspoon of sugar and two teaspoons of milk. I don’t like creamer. I like fresh milk with my coffee. Is that weird?

Of course, if there is latte, I’d rather have that :)

Recurring dream

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

What do you think your recurring dreams mean?

I have this recurring dream where zombies and other surreal characters are chasing me away. It is set in my neighborhood. And I am always around 11 or 12 in my dreams.

A friend who studies dreams told me that it really meant that my desire to get away is always in my subconscious. Get away from this neighborhood that was once peaceful but when I turned around 12, become a neighborhood I don’t really know anymore.

My friend was right on the money. I felt this way ever since. I did not tell her any of those feelings before I told her my recurring dream. So I believe her interpretation of my dream is true.

Do you have a recurring dream?

Accept who you are

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

In all honesty, I am the person who have accepted who I am (bad cholesterol and all) even way in the past, when puberty would have made me insecure. Maybe, because I have a rather large and extended family who accepted me for who I am. I know my capacity. I know my limits. I know my physical attributes.

Of course there are days when I feel down and a wee bit insecure. But it all boils down to being true to oneself. And accepting ALL of you, mistakes and all. I am fairly happy with the imperfect me :)

Do you know who you are and have you accepted yourself already? Are you happy with the person you see looking back at you in the mirror?

I want to believe…

I remember when I was in college, I was hooked on two popular American tv shows of that time: Friends and X-Files. Both shows were introduced to me by my college friends. I remember Elsa kept telling us about Mulder and Scully and how the tv show kept her awake after it thinking about the episode. I love shows like that, makes you think afterwards. It won’t spoon feed you everything about it and will make you use your brains afterwards. That’s the most interesting shows for me, now and then. So I started watching the show and I got hooked!

I watched every show and discussed it with friends the next day. I have a friend who were so addicted to the show like me and we would discuss the show until the next one, often speculating about what will happen and who really Krycek was. We fancied ourselves in love with Fox Mulder and awed by the strength and intelligence of Dana Scully. We also fancied ourselves followers of The Lone Gunmen. And we were really updated on the characters of the tv show. Geeky stuff hehe… Of course, we also kept waiting for the two to finally fall in love and be a couple. Good thing that didn’t happen. Looking back, it will become a big disappoint for sure.

I watched the first movie and will surely watch the movie tomorrow, on its opening day here in Manila. I read some disappointing reviews but what the heck! It’s been 10 years since the last movie, who would not be curious as to what this one will be about, right?

Tomorrow, I’m off to watch X-Files, I Want to Believe. And I will tell you about it :)

What time of day are you?

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

I took this interesting quiz that I found elsewhere. I am a night person so I was curious what I will turn out to be when I answer a few questions. And here is the result…

You are 10:02 a.m.

You are breakfasty, like a pile of pancakes on a Sunday morning that have just the right amount of syrup, so every bite is sweet perfection and not a soppy mess. You are a glass of orange juice that’s cool, refreshing, and not overly pulpy. You are the time of day that’s just right for turning the pages of a newspaper, flipping through channels, or clicking around online to get a sense of how the world changed during the night. You don’t want to stumble sleepily through life, so you make a real effort to wake your brain up and get it thinking. You feel inspired to accomplish things (whether it’s checking something off your to-do list or changing the world), but there’s plenty of time for making things happen later in the day. First, pancakes.

*13% of the people who took this quiz got the same evaluation.

Laptop’s rest day

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

My laptop got his much needed rest last Sunday. I went online for a few hours only, just checking my email. Normally, my laptop is open from 8am to 1am. Used too much! But on weekends, birthday or no birthday, it gets its much needed rest. Also, I am reading a couple of books right now including the much awaited Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I will write a separate entry for that one. But I stopped reading it right now because I am overwhelmingly disappointed with the way the story is evolving. Plus, I am into too much mushiness right now. I am reading a series of seven books by Julia Quinn. This is good news for my laptop as he will be ’sleeping’ earlier than usual, while I will go to my happy place to read until 3am.

What are you up to now, guys?

Discipline and determination

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Seeing Raquel’s post really made my resolve stronger than ever. I need to go on a serious diet now. A strict one where soda will not be allowed. And regular exercise will be prominent on the list. I know deep down I can do it. I just don’t have the discipline and even if I can summon it, I always make excuses for my lapses. I am well aware of it, which makes it worse. Bleh.

I believe I need to do this with someone. Plus I need to resolve with myself that I want this done, I need to lose weight. I cannot continue to read diet pill reviews and other ways to lose weight without doing anything. Yes, I will do it! Discipline and determination are just two things I need.

Waking up

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Are you a morning person? What time do you typically get up in the morning? Walk us through your morning routine (what do you normally have for breakfast, how long does it take you to get ready to leave the house in the morning, etc.) Do you wake up cheery, or does it take you a little while to wake up and function normally?

No, I am not a morning person. I am cranky in the morning. There are days when I wake up smiling but those are rare days. I usually wake up around 8 or 9am. After I take care of my human needs (call of nature and all), I will boot my laptop and load the EC blogs I haven’t drop on. Then I will make a cup of very hot coffee before I will proceed to check my emails. That’s my daily routine.

How about you?
