all heart
I'm pretty sure no one visits this blog anymore and that makes me want to revive it. Plus, I found some cool blog templates.
Sheesh. Only 4 more months before the year ends. Therefore.
Before this year ends, I should...
Sheesh. Only 4 more months before the year ends. Therefore.
Before this year ends, I should...
- have gotten my driver's license and should be able to drive by myself.
- know how to cook adobo, sinigang, and caldereta. without assistance from anyone.
- have saved at least P25,000.
This time, I'm being realistic. And this is not anymore some half-hearted attempt to try to achieve something. I'm all heart, baby!

To those who still visit my blog
I'm alive!!! =b
For the 4th time, I'll be transferring blogs again. Ehehehe. I've signed up on both Xanga and LiveJournal but I'm still trying to decide which one to use. Wala lang, just wanted to try something new.
Jep: No, I have not gotten tired of writing but I just haven't been in the mood to blog the past few months.
To those who still visit this blog, this'll be my last post but I'll be updating you soon with the address of my new blog.
I may have be come an inactive blogger but I'll always be a bloghopper so keep those posts flowin'. =)

Some updates
Red Corner is still pending. The plan was September. September came but we suddenly find ourselves poor. Neyz and I have been so looking forward to this but we're gonna have to put it off again 'til the next payday...
I don't know what has gotten into me the past few weeks but it's almost like I've transformed into this shopaholic freak. I've always been proud of being able to regulate my credit card expenses but lately...well, let's just say I got to that point of having to hide my credit cards at home. I still bring 1 with me, but only because I may need it in case of emergency (defensive!). Yesterday, I was so bored at work that I decided to make an Excel file of my bills. I was fretting and sighing that everyone here at work found out what my problem is. Good thing for me because Nao brought up the idea of applying for a loan from the company. I know it's like I'm solving a problem with another problem but it's actually the best solution because I'll pay it through salary deduction with just a measly interest of 0.98%! Compare that with credit card interest of 3.25%. How cool is that? :)
I'm into UAAP again. Still hoping for Ateneo to make it to the finals. *cross fingers* I watched the game against UP and we won! I finally proved that I ain't that malas. :b
I was able to check out my possible future phones and I liked the Samsung E730s better. But then I saw Lani's K750i and I suddenly wanted a Sony Ericsson phone...But I still want a flip phone.
There are times when I'm so convinced that I wanna get married and have kids really really soon. (If Nikko reads this, he'll freak out. Haha.) There's this longing...Wala lang.

'future' woes
It's getting harder and harder having to put off dealing with the future. It's bad enough that it's always at the back of my mind, a silent but constant nag, but what makes it worse is that the topic always comes up when chatting with friends (not that I take it against them). And I know that it's bad only because I still don't have an answer whenever someone asks me what I plan to do. And I'd love to strangle myself because I've been uselessly angsting about this for years.
Just now, almost everyone here in the office just can't stop talking about working abroad. Someone already has an application to Australia. Another plans to try New Zealand. And they're all talking about it, everyone's interested, everyone has something to share. And here I am, not even wanting to listen. And it bothers the hell out of me. It bothers me because it seems like the only way to earn big bucks and save up for the future is by working abroad which I don't want to. It bothers me because everyone seems to have a plan already, everyone except me. I am not feeling sorry for myself. But the pressure mounts as each day speeds by with me still stuck on a call center-ish job with no concrete plans of going somewhere else.
The only thing that I'm sure of is that I'd like to get married and have a family someday. And I'm scared that I won't be able to fulfill this simple dream just because I can't afford to. I try to comfort myself with the thought that things always have a way of working out, that things will just sort itself out eventually. I know it's a crappy way of thinking because it still doesn't answer the crucial questions of: What the f**k do I want do with my life? How can I support a family with a meager salary? When will I start to really plan my future?
This is really getting old. All I do is rant, angst, and whine. It's high-time I really really do something about my issues. Let me list down some of the more obvious options...
Save, save, save then start a business. This, I just got from Sienna. She has realized that she never wants to be a corporate slave all her life that's why she has been religiously saving up her money to someday start a business of her own. Of course, we can be business partners. Ü
Work abroad. Everyone knows I don't want to. But I have to keep an open mind about this. After all, there is always that possibility of my sister petitioning us to live in the US. Or maybe another country. It's my chance to get out of my comfort zone, for once in my life. Just a few days ago, my mom took on a new approach which goes like this: "Madali daw magprocess sa Canada...bakit di kayo mag-apply ni Nikko...?" Of course, my family thinks that the only reason I don't entertain ideas of working abroad is because I don't want to be separated from the boyfriend. They're not entirely right...
Study. I am not too keen on this idea since further studies usually means that I'd want to beef up my resume in the hopes of climbing up the corporate ladder. And I just don't see myself being a boss. (I can go on and on about this so I'd rather just do it on a different entry.)
Gawd, can't think of any other option. But I didn't even bother to think out of the box. Sigh.
I feel so lost. I am lost. Maybe if I seek Him, I'll find myself. He'll probably be the only one who can guide me to the right path.
But I'm still thankful because inspite of the constant worries about the future, I'm happy with what I have right now. I'm happy that I have a nice family to go home to every weekend, I'm happy that I still have a lola that I'm very close with, I'm happy that I have a wonderful boyfriend whom I love so much, I'm happy that I have friends who remain friends inspite of, I'm happy that my colleagues are fun to be with, and I'm happy that an officemate helped me figure out a way of paying up my credit card bills. :D
