My Horoscope for today: There are so many things you'd make happen in a perfect world. But in case you hadn't noticed, life on this planet is far from perfect. Pure as your heart may be, good intentions don't necessarily equal good strategy. Dreaming of your destination is a lot like torture when you're mired down in traffic or stuck in the mud. There's a better way if you look directly in front of you. Your mood improves dramatically once you lower your short-term expectations. If step by step feels redundant, remember that this is how everyone learns to walk.

503 HITS for the Dailybread journal.

Spent my afternoon at the mall with my 5-year old cousin. Bought her a belated birthday gift. For myself, I got 3 books from NBS. [Purpose Driven Life and two hardbound fiction books that were on sale for Php89/each...good deal if you ask me]; JANE December 2003 ish & an EW back-ish with Nick and Jessica on the cover; Three pairs of socks; A shirt; two atomizers and a cologne.

Just for FUN: My US name is June Meyer; My Wu name is Bitter Mastermind. [What did you get?]

Yay and not-so yay.

Yay Moments:

Had dinner with the EBC Ladies last Saturday. Followed by the weekly Absolut Vodka sessions of them Absolut Ladies. I was part of the session for that week. I had 4 glasses of Absolut juice. [just a bit of vodka]. Didn't get drunk. Felt really sleepy and warn inside though. I don't think I can hack it on a weekly basis. But I could join them and just be the sober one. I think.

278 HITS as of April 6, midnight, for the DailyBread journal. Yay.

New FRIENDS background. I'll keep it for a while in honor of my all-time fave show.

Work was light yesterday.

Had my hair cut, more like, had it trimmed. I'm not that brave when it comes to my hair.

No work starting Wednesday.

Not-So-Yay Moments:

Two of my friends are having a hard time deciding what they want concerning their respective SOs. I pray to God he guide my friends to whatever decisions they may come up with. Like ALWAYS, I didn't say much. We all have respective problems, be it with a family member or a significant other. The things they've said about life in general, I take it to heart. I too, am not getting any younger. I ALWAYS keep in mind that, God will not give us something that we can't bear. I pray to God that this will all be phases in our lives that we can learn from. Faith in HIM will get us through these dark times.

My Mother texted me last night and put me in a bad mood, she knows our situation in here and still she sends this guilt-ful [is that even a word?] messages. It's not like we're not trying to come up with some extra cash. Just frustrating. I didn't bother to reply to her message coz I might send something that I just might regret later. God help me be more patient and be more calm regarding this matter. I know you will not leave me in the dark.

Alrighty...

It's a brand new month. Hope you weren't fooled last April 1st. Second quarter of the year begins. So fast.

My cousin Nadine turned 5 yesterday. Five. Man. She grew up so fast. I remember when she came into our lives, she was this very fragile and dehydrated 2-week old baby. She's healthy nowadays [thank God]. She just graduated from Nursery school. She likes to sing. She's makulit at times. She loves popcorn and cotton candy. She knows how to ride a bike. She likes playing badminton. She's VERY [very] inquisitive. She puts a smile on our faces, just the thought of her makes me smile.

1800 hits on the Daily Bread for the month of March. Whew. Who are these people? It feels great knowing a lot of people check the site. Yay.

Why is it that one of the people that can truly hurt me is related to me? Darn. It's my Mother. She knows our financial situation right now. And yet, it seems like she doesn't understand our situation. It's just frustrating sometimes. I want to tell her how I feel about it but I know she's got a lot on her mind right now. [Her greedy relatives who want to get my Lola's property in the province, my Lola's passing, my hard-headed Father's smoking ... I just don't wanna add up to it. Oh well...] I'll just continue being the old silent me. That's not hard to do. When you complain you have to explain. I'm not good at explaining.

Love Actually, I like. Go and see it when you can.

I so wanna see The Passion Of The Christ, I know I'm gonna cry when I watch it. Knowing [from various movies and stories] how HE died for us is one thing but seeing it is another.

I only noticed last night that the first two discs of my CSI: Season 1 DVDs are not here. I asked my sisters, father, cousin and my brother if they lent it to someone or if someone borrowed it. Negative. Darn. Weird. Why just the two discs? There are 6 discs in one season. I still can't get over my CSI missing discs. It puts me in a not-so-good mood. Now, I'm thinking, should I buy them again or just wait awhile. Any of my friends borrowed it from me? I really would have remembered though. Aaarrggghhhh.

American Idol is fun to watch. My faves are Jasmine Trias, Diana De Garmo, Camile Velasco, Jon Peter Lewis. I don't have to mention Fantasia because she's just it. She's already a winner in her own right.

Alanis will release a new CD, So-Called Chaos, next month. Yay. I'm a fan, can't change that.

MUST arrange and organize my clearbooks soon.

Had a headstart with laundry last night, finished one load. Yeah. My weekend starts with laundrying. You can never have too many hangers. [hehe]

Haven't played badminton for a week, my cousin wasn't feeling it. Oh well. Hopefully next week we'll play again. My highschool friends kept on saying, let's play badminton again, but no one is initiating. It's all talk. Darn.

Get back to reading...
