optimism

It's not like me to anticipate a lucky year ahead, but somehow I think I've changed over the past few weeks.

Happy new year to everyone!

end of days

Yeah, the end of life didn't come... in fact, mine actually just got started.

A world that I once knew ended on the supposedly "end of days" because something better came along and replaced it. And I lol'ed at the emo-ness of my previous statement. Haha...

Anyway, Woot! on these new shirts from Japan! Alright! Yeah! Best gift I've gotten so far. I may not know what the prints say but I like them a lot. I believe these were really meant to be mine. Woot!

Cool shirts! They smell nice too.

i'm on a roll

I can't stress it enough. This is my lucky month.

I just won an iPad mini at our team's Christmas party event. It wasn't easy though because when there were only two of us battling for the prize, they made us sing to determine who gets it. The person who gets the higher score through the videoke machine wins. I sang my lungs out to Pearl Jam's Daughter so hello, iPad Mini!

Not only that, I almost won two iPads. There were two to be given away and I lost the other one on the coin toss. Haha... I guess I'd be greedy if I took both iPads home. This is more than enough already.

Keep 'em coming December, please keep 'em coming. I guess renewing my faith, getting rid of the people who have caused me pain, and accepting new inspiring friends led to all these new-found luck.

It all started last 12.12.12. To the person who I think brought me luck, once you get to read this, I know you'll realize that it all started with that handshake that you have been laughing at.

I hope this winning streak gets to last forever. Hehe....

just in time

The past three days have been crazy. I never had this much fun in years. 12.12.12 gave me something that I really wanted and I can't be thankful enough.

Yes, I know it doesn't sound like me but from time to time, I also post happy thoughts. By doing this, I'll remember the exact dates when they happened.

Yep, this is serendipity at its finest. Sorry for the spam... I just needed to mark these dates.

crappy dime

The Internet is full of trolls. Haha....


Cram-pappy dime.

12.12.12

Who would have thought that December 12, 2012 would bring me so much good news.

December is indeed my favorite month.

I know it's not right too feel good whenever I hear bad things happening to the people I don't like, but sorry, I'm only human. I felt good when:

1. I overheard people backstabbing someone who caused me problems for years. That made me smile because it means that there really is something wrong with him and that people are slowly noticing.

2. A notorious villain who abuses her powers got what she deserves. I heard she was crying over what fate has brought upon her.

But not only that - I also felt good after one of the risks that I've taken produced positive results. Yeah! Alright!

Keep 'em coming, December, keep 'em coming. Hehe.

publicity is publicity

Crap! I am notoriously popular for all the wrong reasons. Haha.

Don't worry, I don't really mind.

lol wtf

I heard a rather juicy gossip about someone who brought me problems years ago.

If you could only hear what other people are saying about you behind your back, you'd think twice about who your true friends really are.

And, it has been validated that with all your excess baggage, identity crisis, and other effing insecurities, you are a cancer to whoever you're with.

Now, to the other visitors who came here looking for more information, I'm sorry to dissappoint you. We had the same reaction when I heard the news. LOL, WTF! Haha...

Now go on, move along... nothing to do here.

commitments

I honestly don't feel like attending an event that I've committed myself to. I only chose to go because I value the friendship that I have with the person who invited me and I was really bored when I got the invitation. Other than that, there are no other reasons. In fact, I may have more reasons not to go - the venue is too far, only a few of my friends are going, and I don't like the event itself.

Crap. What have I gotten myself into now. A part of me wants to honor the commitment I made while another part just wants me to do whatever it is that would make me happy.

Being the selfish person that I am, I think I know what I'll be choosing. But for now, I think it is best if I just sleep on it first.

the ultimate friday

Yes, it's December again. It's the time of the year when my favorite malls are open until 11pm; when the nights are cold and lit in bright festive colors; when gadgets are enticingly affordable; and when I age for yet another year.

Yes, I have plans on buying a gift for myself. I just haven't decided what yet. Despite all the financial challenges I had this year, I still managed to save some money for myself. We all need to spend on ourselves from time to time to keep us motivated and, at the least, sane.

Yes, it's my birthday month so I'm just a little bit extra generous. I've been keeping an eye out for good deals on gifts for my friends and family. I've also sorted the stuff that I'll be donating to charity to score some major positive karma points. Haha. Yeah, I know, we shouldn't be expecting anything in return. Technically, positive karma isn't really retribution. But still, we need to remember that this is the season of giving.

Yes, I haven't said it enough. I love December. It is the Friday of months.
Happy December to everyone!

r and r

We were supposed to go to Batangas for a quick get-together with some friends, however, it got cancelled so I was stuck at home the whole day. With nothing planned and nowhere to go, I just decided to start Part 37 (of 100 installments) of my room-cleanup initiative, tie-dye old clothes that I'm no longer using, and practice plucking some guitar strings.

It's a good thing that our upcoming company-sponsored Christmas party's theme for this year is "retro" so I can just wear the shirts I've dyed and come in as a hippie. Hopefully the shirts turn out okay after I wash them.

I also wanted to have a PT session today for my perpetually aching back but I got tired after dying my shirts and just watched Captain America, which was showing on TV, instead.

Afterwards, while cleaning up my room, I dug up some old shoes that I haven't worn in years - I guess I can just have them donated since they are still pretty much usable. I don't like hoarding stuff so if I've forgotten that something exists, they're either going to the rubbish bin or somewhere else where they are actually wanted.

It hasn't really been a very productive day but it's okay since it wasn't wasted either. But despite the cancelled plans, I'm still happy with the day's outcome. Plus, I have my feel-good soundtrack up most of the time.

Sweet Thing - Change of Seasons

Where I'm going, I don't know. I'm not worrying. I'll just let it go.

Happy weekend, everyone!
