As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts.

Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Happy weekend everyone!

Two of my cousins are designers. They have so many cad drawing supplies at home that they use in their work. Unfortunately, a miscommunication made my aunt throw away some of the supplies. One of my cousins left a note telling their mom that the supplies in their room will have to be thrown away already. They didn’t exactly specify what supplies so my aunt assumed that the first plastic bag of supplies she found was the one that needs to be thrown away.

Those were newly bought supplies actually. Tsk tsk tsk

Moral of the story: specify exactly which one you are talking about. Put a sticky note. Or better yet, throw the garbage yourself!

Joint pain is common in old people. There are exceptions, though. For example, in our family, as early as the age of 25, some of us feel aches and pains in our joints already. They say it might be hereditary. I have not really went to the doctor to ask for an opinion but there are days when I feel it already. The aches and pains.

There’s glucosamine cream that one of my relatives use. It works for her. I have not tried it obviously. I don’t think I need anything at this point. When I feel the aches and pains, I just rest my legs and it will be gone in a few minutes. If in the future the frequency increases, then I will go consult a doctor. If not, since I don’t like going for check-ups, I’ll just let it be.

Anyway, I am aiming for a healthy living starting this year and hopefully, it will take away all those creaks in the joints.

Do not let yourself be idle. Seek employment. Do something constructive. Make it a habit to learn one new thing each day. I know someone who just sits idle at home each and every day. I think that’s the reason why she feels sick when there’s clearly nothing wrong with her. It’s most likely why her brain is full of doubts about the people around her. You know what they say an idle mind is the devil’s workshop.

Don’t let the devil play inside your mind. Get up and help yourself learn. Live life. Do something positive! Trust me, it will be to your benefit that you do these things.

My sister needs a quick trim. She is attending a class reunion today and she feels like she should have tried harder to lose weight even a bit. We bought something for her to wear today and she was annoyed to find that the one she likes did not fit her. She didn’t eat dinner because of it.

She is more focused now on losing those excess pounds more than ever. Her best friend is getting married by December. She doesn’t want to feel the same way she did yesterday when the time comes for her to try on her maid of honor gown.

I was looking in the mirror for almost an hour now thinking I need blackhead extractors. I haven’t been to my dermatologist for months! I am too busy with work and if not, too lazy to go out of the house. The blackheads have accumulated, especially since we traveled a few times over the past several months.

Lucky for me, I don’t get too much pimples anymore. One or two from time to time but rarely do I get the big ones anymore. I have to thank my mom for inheriting this skin. I do have a problem more worrisome than blackheads, though. Warts! I see so many! Now, I do have to go see my dermatologist!

I want one!

My cousins are online a few hours a day. I make sure I give them links to web sites where they can learn or benefit from. Like the LSAT prep site I found. You can get to know about the LSAT Prep Courses and try it for free. One of my cousins might be needing an LSAT prep. At least I already gave them the link and all they have to do is explore it some more.

In my case, I am online more than 12 hours a day. So I can get to surf a lot daily and I find great sites that I share with family and friends.

The blinds were drawn when we came to visit our friend. She’s heart sick. Broken from the betrayal done to her by her long-time boyfriend. They were engaged to be married already for a year when she found out that he got married to someone else. She wouldn’t have found out about it if it weren’t for the wedding announcement that a common friend of theirs got accidentally. Naturally, our friend was devastated when she found out about it.

They haven’t talked yet. We don’t know what the man’s plans are. Marry both women? Carry on with the engagement while married to someone else? Dump her?

I don’t think we’ll ever know. He’s hiding already.

I am craving for a Manhattan Meatlovers Pizza from Yellow Cab. I want one! I will order an 18″ pizza in a while to share with the fam.

Yum!

A woman I know is pining for her husband who’s working abroad. She always gets sick. When she goes for a medical check-up, the doctors sees nothing, the laboratory results comes back negative for any sickness. She’s been in and out of the hospital for check-ups at least five or six times already. And nothing! The last doctor they went to advised a vacation to the woman. She’s stressed out and homesick for her husband, that’s all.

So her husband went home and he promised to take her to Mexico for a vacation. They are now checking out riviera maya hotels where they can stay at. It will probably cure whatever’s ailing the woman now her husband’s with her.

My sister just shopped for home items. There’s a mall-wide sale at our favorite mall last weekend. Because the prices were really slashed up to 70% off, she bought some items that she thought we might need at home. Pillows, pillow cases, blankets, bedsheets, throw pillows, socks, hankies, towels, and other items for the bathroom and bedroom. She also went to the kitchen section and bought pots and pans to replace the old ones we have. And there’s the hardware store where she got Grohe faucets, garage tools for my dad, a new bidet, and a shower curtain.

I swear you’d think she just did some panic-buying!

Do you like an office like this?

I do! I think there’s so much inspiration in this office. What do you think? I love the red and white theme, plus the fact that it’s so organized. I just organized my stuff at my small home-office corner. It took me a couple of hours but after it, I was so inspired to write. When you see an organized room, you’d either get down to business or run scared. I’m for the former.

What about you? Do you like an organized and squeaky clean office or do you like the chaotic/messy one?

I have volunteered to shoulder the expenses for my cousin’s graduation invitations. It was out of sheer pride for the achievements of my cousin that’s why I volunteered. There’s just too much stacked against her graduating but she did it and we are all proud of her!

My cousin takes care of her younger siblings, having lost their mom almost a year ago. She does all the tasks that her mom normally did. In spite of the loss and the added tasks, she still studied harder than ever. Look where it got her! If you know her, you’d really be proud of her. Graduating on top of her class… wow!

A local store is giving out promotional products to their first and last 10 customers for the day. This will go on for the next 5 days as a way to lure in customers. It is also their way of saying thanks to their customers for patronizing the store for the past 15 years.

I think it’s a good way to attract more customers without resorting to cheap tricks. For businesses out there, I suggest giving out items that can be used right away, daily. Like ballpens with the company information on it. Or notepads. Or a kitchen item. Something that can be used often. That way, the brand recall will be there.

Remember I told you about how much I love coin purses? Well, it turned out that a blogger-friend of mine read it and thought of giving me a coin purse to make me smile.

She did! She gave it to me last holiday season and I love it!

Thanks, my friend! I am using it for a month already and I love squeezing the purse’s legs hehehe

I am confused by the days. I thought it’s just Wednesday! I was listening to Wave 89.1 and I was wondering why Battlefield is being played right now. Wednesdays are for old music… Wave Back Wednesday. When I checked the calendar, that’s when I realized it’s Thursday!

Sigh. Last week, the lack of sleep confused me. Now, the over-sleeping is causing me confusion, too! Hahaha
