Random.

Thoughts thoughts...


Probably 45 years from now, I’ll be sure to keep in mind – don’t act in haste.

So that all will be thoroughly evaluated – be it a career, a husband, or a lifestyle
so that I will not have heavy regrets burdening my heart, and my spirit will still be youthfully running free, even if I'm already old and gray.

Wow talk about random thoughts. Haha.

Reblogged from my multiply site :)

Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves; they will always haveentertainment.


Blessed are those who can
distinguish between a mountain and a molehill; they will save themselves a lot of trouble.


Blessed are those who can
rest and sleep without looking for excuses; they will become wise.


Blessed are those who are intelligent enough
not to take themselves too seriously; they will be appreciated.


Blessed are you if you can
look seriously at small things and peacefully at serious things; you will go far in life.


Blessed are you if you can
admire a smile and forget a scowl; your path will be sunlit.


Blessed are you if you can always
interpret the attitudes of others with good will, even when appearances are to the contrary; you may seem naive, but that is the price of charity.


Blessed are those who
think before acting and who laugh before thinking;they will avoid foolish mistakes.


Blessed are you if you know how to be
silent and smile, even when you are interrupted, contradicted or walked on; the gospel is beginning to take root in your heart.


Blessed are you especially if you know how to recognize the Lord in all those you meet; you have found the true light, true wisdom.

Craazzyyy


Lack of sleep induces insanity.
I feel like i have a hangover, even though I didn't drink.
I feel.. brainless.
Like it's just NOT there. :/
WAAH.

I can complain all I want but fine. I admit I kind of find being stressed and busy an addictive drug. SHUCKS, bad.
Maybe because a sense of achievement gives me a natural high? It gets me going. and my PLANNER is the ultimate drug paraphernalia.
And what's more, the stillness of not having to do anything right after makes me feel suspended in mid-air: like i can see everything from where i am, letting everything fall into place, simply watching, sitting back and enjoying the moment.
(..and then going for a couple of drinks? :) hehehehe)

ANYWAY. My thoughts are coming back to me. Now i feel more sane, THANK GOD :)

Will get my coffee, have a well-deserved yo break, probably dance for a couple of minutes in the garage to get my endorphins in check HAHA, or Yoga? Hmm. Pwede, pwede.

Oh, surprise me please. It would be nice.

Summer!

Things to look forward to this coming summer:

1. Will teach Geometry through Yoga for kids! A summer program which will use yoga principles to teach children ages 3-4 years old about basic geometry concepts :) So happy i can combine things i like and GET MONEY FROM IT! Hahaha. I get to do yoga (which i love) + be with children (who i absolutely adore) + and teach (which i am passionate about) = time well spent, with money in return. Perfect!

2. Will teach in the yearly UPCAT review of young einstein learning center (www.yeinstein.com summer UPCAT review :) call +632-6924980 or +63917-835-7636). This will be like around once a week or something only for me. Nevertheless, saktong balance lang. I get to teach OLDER children haha. High school students always entertain me - their excitement for college, curiosity, and the way they listen at the same time contradict you is a welcome change from the energy level of preschoolers. Haha.

3. Phil fashion week (?) Details coming soon. Haha

4. Spending more time with family and friends!!
  • -Anawangin with Erin Kat Gogo and friends
  • -My niece's 3rd (GRAND) birthday party
  • -Lorenzana cousins BEACH BEACH BEACH OUTING!
  • -Batangas outing with FLCD friends (hep--dapat mag push through ha)
  • -Boracay :))
  • My birthday yehey YEAR OF THE TIGER RAWR HAHAHAHA

5. Secret. The last one is... basta. something I AM DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO. :)
(he he he). Bawal usisera, bawal chismosa. HAHAHA.

Re: Benzene from aircon

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.



Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

Here's why:

According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin(carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.

Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.

Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver... What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.

Thought:

'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'

5 Things I'm Thankful For :)

I thought about the bits and pieces of acts, favors, and things i have been receiving from different sources. Maybe because i've been feeling too stressed lately, i tend to get bitter with the smallest things - malfunctioning laptop, the heat, basta. A sense of restlessness overpowers me!
so i'm bringing back the 5 things I'm grateful For list.

1. I'm thankful for my Kuya. Who drives me around when i ask! He drops me off to coffeeshops when i meet friends, offers to pick me up in malls or wherever, and when he sees me on my way out, he asks who will pick me up and how i'll go home. AWW. Ayan tuloy I've become lazy to get a drivers license haha.

2. For my mom. Her endless chatter is always a welcome escape! And she never gets tired with my endless stories to tell. AND she is the best audience ever - she laughs at the punchlines, and reacts at the most perfect moments. I LOVE IT! HAha. She's a stage mother, so to speak. And i couldn't be anymore thankful.

3. I'm thankful for the laptop. I WOULD BE UTTERLY USELESS AND LOST WITHOUT IT. Just imagine when typewriters were the in thing, shucks! Mag kamali ka lang, liquid paper na to! Hassle. Thank you for the laptop! And the endless list of tools to tinker with- of course a big thanks to the internet! (i can get new sudoku puzzles everyday! haha).

4. I'm thankful for my friends. Special mention to those I frequently and regularly I have coffee with- Erin, Tina, and Ten. :) Talking about EVERYTHING. Our goals and dreams for the future, dream careers and how to make it work, words of support, and "Love" issues hahaha, and simply just about anything. They provide the constant reassessment of my life, like i do for them. having friends are the best :) Simply the best. And i could not ask for more.

5. This one i dont know how to put. Let's just say I am not in a hurry. Not at all. I am taking my sweet time. But regardless, can i just say that this kind of connection is just making me so happy? :) Talking about whatever, laughing like crazy fools, singing at the top of our lungs for 2 straight hours in the car, walking together barefoot, blah blah blah. It feels so.. fresh. And nice. to be able to connect this way. Without pressure. Simply because the company's good. No worries, no hurry, and I am on the best place i can ever be.

THANK YOU GOD.
For the wonderful things that just keep on coming my way. :)

Thank You

Wonderful.
Just wonderful!! :))
