The Little Wish

via etsy

If there's any age that I would like to stay in forever, it would have to be in my 20s. I get to be a semi-adult. This is the only stage where it is perfectly acceptable (and understandable) to act like a silly kid and be a grown up the next minute. Sans for the quarterlife crisis, I would have to say that this is the best time to discover and experience the highs and lows of life, and just be the person you want to be.

Like and Want

I Like
I really like Dove's Grapefuit and Lemongrass Bar. I love the smell. I feel clean and energized every time I use it. The soap also has tiny beads that makes it a bonus mini exfoliant. I like!


I Want

I want a Canon G10 or a Nikon P6000. Since Dolfo has the Nikon already, I'm opting for the Canon. I never bought a camera for myself. I was the type who would use cameras on special occasions only such as out of town trips or on big memorable events, not until recently when I became fond of Photoshop. I realized I need to start taking more pictures.



I want a Swatch watch, particularly these white watches above (and in large size please). I can say I was a Swatch kid. Fortunately, I was able to keep my old Swatches until now. I just don't know though if it's still working. Baka hindi na rin. Swatch is currently making a huge comeback with John Lloyd as its main endorser. Kaya gusto ko na rin! Hehe


Other random wants:
His and Hers bicycles
It's been awhile now since I rode a bicycle. My old bike has long been forgotten. And gone. I want a new one.

A Wallet
No brand in particular. I just need a good nice wallet. So far the perfect wallet has been eluding me. Hopefully there will be lots to choose from in Guam.

A Good Haircut
Ever since Alex Carbonell, I never really had a permanent hair stylist. I've been switching from one salon to another, and never really satisfied with the outcome. I'm tired of my hair style. I'm tempted to cut it really really short. But I'm scared it might not look good on me.

Random Thoughts on Life

I caught My Sister’s Keeper over the weekend. It’s a sad poignant movie, and significant too especially having learned about the sudden death of a friend’s aunt. It brought back memories not too long ago when my two cousins also suddenly passed away. You can’t help but wonder why things have to happen the way they do. No one can't say for sure. Even if there are answers, no one would be satisfied with it. We have to come to terms with reality--with how short and uncertain life can be, and how we should make the most out of it. Now. We shouldn’t postpone and regret not having said or done the things that we want to say and do. Here’s the list that I promise (and hopefully) will do:

1. Live life well. Stay healthy (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually).
2. Stop worrying. Pursue the things that you want to do.
3. Slow down, breathe, and enjoy the scenery.
4. Create meaningful relationships. Be with the people you want to be with and appreciate them.
5. Create meaningful things and share it.
6. Build happy memories together with your loved ones.
7. Love unconditionally.
8. Hold no resentment. Learn to forgive and forget.
9. Learn to accept, give, and let go. Stop chasing and fighting the tide.
10. Be thankful and grateful.

Rainy

It’s been a rainy week. The rainy months have now officially begun. Yey! I love when it rains, save for the brownouts and floods. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because of the cold cozy weather. It makes you want to stay in and sleep in. There’s also something about the sound of raindrops falling, minus the thunder that I can’t quite explain. As long as it’s not the scary kind of rain, I always get this comforting feeling every time it rains. Masarap lang sya. And then sometimes if I’m super lucky, I get to see a rainbow after. But then, experience tells me rainy weather also means not-so-good business for most. Wah! People coop up in their homes or offices (just like me), and thus spells for no benta which makes me not want to like rain days anymore. So now I’m hoping it stops raining already. Sun, please come out.

80/20 Rule


I'm a fan of this principle, "vital few and trivial many".

Focus 80 percent of your time and energy on the 20 percent of you work that is really important. Don't just "work smart", work smart on the right things.

Let Go First and Then Get

Photoshop is getting to be quite addictive...used another one of Ray Bradbury's quotes.

Rant

My sister and I got into a heated argument with another customer yesterday at Office Warehouse. I rarely get into fights, especially with strangers. But yesterday really tested my patience. I had to speak up because the girl was just plain mean.

I lined up at the cashier to pay. I told my sister who was at the other line to queue up with me. The girl behind me suddenly went irate. She accused my sister of cutting her in line. My sister explained to her that we were going to pay everything together. 2 liquid paper and a box of staple wires. 3 small items only, 1 transaction. That’s it. And guess what the girl said?

Girl (irritated): Well, hurry up! You’re taking my time!
Me: Did we take up your time? Did we let you wait for an hour already? Wala pang 1 minute!
Girl: Yes! I’ve things to do. My Dasma house is waiting.

Ummm…what did she say again? I got lost there for a minute. Did she really say 'My Dasma house is waiting' or am I just dreaming?

Me: I don’t care where you live! Who the hell cares?!

Then the girl goes on about why the Philippines isn’t progressing...blah blah blah. Typical right?

Sister (sarcastic tone): Sorry ah, Filipinos lang kami eh. Taga QC lang kami.

At this point, everyone was already snickering at the girl. Obviously, her comments did not earn her sympathy votes from the people at the store. She was just plain demeaning and too feeling. She probably did not expect us to speak up. I really hate people who feel they’re way above than the rest even if they aren’t. Just because you’re a “balikbayan” and speak English, it doesn’t warrant you to feel superior and act as if you own the place. You brag only when you really have the right to do so. Else, you’ll only end up looking like a fool.
