I feel guilty for un-following two blogger friends in Twitter. My reason is that I don’t like their duplicate tweets! It doesn’t matter so much if I like what they’re tweeting about. But they tweet links to their blog posts and would retweet it again and again. I just don’t like it at all.
I prefer those who really tweet about what’s happening to them. Even if you bombard me with a blow-by-blow of the event you are in. That’s fine. But to bombard me with links from your blog of the same entries… now, that’s irritating!

When you get into a disagreement or a debate with someone how likely are you fight fair? Do you tend to get emotional and the words just fly? Or do you stay calm and collected, sticking to the main situation?
Truth be told, I tend to get emotional and I say hurtful things when I am angry. That’s the reason I don’t usually join a debate or get into an argument with a love one. I don’t fight fair. But then after a tirade, when I calm down, I would feel guilty for being angry and saying those hurtful things. I won’t say sorry right out but I will find a way to make peace.

Can’t wait for the movie to be shown locally!
George Clooney is a swoon-worthy man. And he’s a great actor, too. That’s why I make it a point to watch his movies. I have been awaiting Up In The Air since I read about it in one entertainment blog. Then I saw Anna Kendrick in Ellen and it got me even more excited. The trailer shown was great!
It is rated R for some nudity and explicit language so that means I will have to watch this one in Trinoma with either Tim or Shen. Haha

Sometimes, I feel guilty for being happy.
I just feel like there are so many things to think of, worry about, and there I was laughing my heart out. Like last night. Now, I am bothered because I will be going out tonight again to meet up with two former staff of mine. But this was planned way before and has been postponed a number of times already. I feel like I want to back out but I already said yes and I don’t want to disappoint them. Sigh.
Now I envy those people who only think of themselves.

It’s Day 7 of my quest to a Coke ZERO 2010. That means no Coca-cola or any other softdrink products for me this year! I am a Coke fan. I drink it a lot! Before, not anymore. Hopefully. I am really praying I won’t succumb to temptation and free myself from the spirit of Coke. As I told everyone around me, it’s hard but doable.
Here’s to a healthy 2010!

I am really struggling to lose weight. But I am sticking to this goal of mine. I need help and motivation. My sister and my friends have been telling me that it’s hard for the first two weeks. When I surpass that timeline, it would be easier for me to follow through with my diet regimen.
I do hope so because it is really hard!
It became firm in my mind when the whole family went to Tagaytay. We went to Picnic Grove and if you’ve been there, you know there’s an Eco Trail, right? I thought I’d suffer a heart attack from the heat! I was perspiring like there’s no tomorrow and I was short of breath with just a few steps! Hingal na hingal talaga! Lawit dila na ako sobra! I thought I’d have to really do it, lose weight, or I will die young!
I am starting with softdrinks. I was a big soda fan but I cut it off already. No more sugar as well for me. I am taking it slow with rice because I suffer from dizziness from lack of it. But I have already cut my rice intake by half. I was able to stop eating rice at night before so I know I can do it again. We have a stepper equipment for exercise here at home and I am using it starting tomorrow. It’s like walking, albeit slower than a treadmill. Better to have that than nothing. Then I am also doing some alternative to crunches.
I weighed myself this afternoon. I gained 10 pounds over the holidays! I told Tim about it and she gave me a tip on how to lose the holiday pounds I gained. I will do that.
2010 is a year to a healthy lifestyle. I will do my best to give birth to the healthier me this year. I vow to do that and more!

I am looking forward to a brand new year. I am making sure this year will be a fruitful one for me and my family. I will be working doubly hard. My goal is to earn triple the income I made in 2009 and save up 2/3 of it. I am not getting any younger. My dad’s not getting any younger. It’s time to start building something I can fall back on.
I am also throwing out the window all the negative things in me. Laziness, especially. Losing weight is a must! Lethargy often comes from being overweight and I think I posted so many entries last year about being lethargic. No more of that for me!
Every day, when I wake up, I will exercise. I started it today. 15 minutes. I talked to Tita Liza about this several weeks ago and I halfheartedly committed that time. Starting today, I am giving it my 100%. I will start slow and hopefully, I can follow through. I will be ticking the calendar I specifically bought for losing weight activities. My specific goal is to at least lose 30-50 pounds this year. Yes, I am THAT overweight!
Less clutter for me this year, too. I am already thinking of ways on how to minimize the clutter in my drawers. I will give away dozens of novels for sure. Books are my number one clutter. Followed by magazines (Reader’s Digest, Cosmo, Good Housekeeping), papers, post-its, notebooks, and pens. I will find a way to minimize all these in 2010.
I will throw away the mañana habit! I will do everything TODAY instead of tomorrow. I was guilty of this habit in 2009. No more of that!
AND…
I will manage my time properly. I am guilty of mismanaging my time. ALWAYS. I will be mapping out my whole month now. I will do this every end of the month and will make sure I improve month after month. Until every thing becomes a routine and I wouldn’t have to remind myself about it anymore.
I am really praying for a bigger and better 2010 for me and my family and for all of you my dear friends. I will be going back to the corporate world. Honestly, I am dreading it. I’ve been working at home for the past three years and a half. I am so used to this kind of set up already. But since I have to, I am psyching myself to be excited about it. So far, I am 30% successful.
Goodbye 2009! Welcome 2010! Here’s to good health, more opportunities/money, and a better life for all of us!

I’m in my in-between books mode once more. I was supposed to read Smash Cut by Sandra Brown right after Hush, Hush but I am not over Patch yet so I have to stop. I still have a lot of unread books waiting for me. I feel like there’s not enough time for reading. I also just bought Twisted Travels by Jessica Zafra.
Twisted Travels
My friends know that I am a big fan of hers. She’s witty and sharp and really good in what she does. Read one of her articles and you’ll want to read more of her work. I think I have all her Twisted books.
My first Twisted book.
Anyway, I hope to be able to read more books by next year. Obsessed talaga ako sa pagbabasa at pagkokolekta ng books. If I have my own house, sigurado I have a library instead of an entertainment room. Hehe! Buying lots of books lang naman ang indulgence ko aside from eating out

In our house, there are a lot of magazines and books lying around. We are a family of readers. Lately, I’ve been seeing my brother reading newspapers already. It’s a start. I remember when my dad even borrowed my Jessica Zafra books, curious why I was laughing my ass off while reading her books.
Reading is important for me. It takes my mind off so many worries. It widens my vocabulary. It takes me places I’ve never been to. It calms me and enhances my knowledge of so many things.
Right now, I have a couple of books I am reading (a third of it I’m re-reading) that are on the top right portion of my pc tower. For easy access…
I am hooked this much. I need to have a book on hand always. Hehe

Nothing scares me more than being sick, really sick. On both sides of our family, there’s history of people dying of cancer. Leukemia, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, even cancer of the bones. It scares the hell out of me when I think that one of us might have it in a few years.
This might sound morbid for some but I do believe I won’t grow really old. Might be lucky for me to reach 60. With my unhealthy lifestyle and the history of sickness on both sides of the family… plus, there’s just this premonition, if you must, that I have. I just know.
And that scares the hell out of me. Can’t help but think about it from time to time. When I feel aches and pains. But when it goes away, then I’m back to being positive and thinking of a long life ahead.
