it's probably not the first time that i mentioned that in the past few months, the issue of growing old alone is getting to me. it enters my mind every so often that sometimes i convince myself that it will be scary. however, i know too, that even if i end up growing old alone, i know that i can handle it and still be happy. sure, there'd be moments that the silence of my pet house will get to me. perhaps it's this knowledge that prompted me to surround myself with trinkets and gifts from very special people. these gifts remind me that i may be the only soul in my pet house, but i'm sure as hell am loved by no less than beautiful beings. well, it took me a while to provide decors to my pet house. perhaps it's why line bought me all these. i hope i have thanked you for them. if i haven't, know that i'm very grateful and you're still the most thoughtful person i've had the honor of knowing. hehe, chin's had enough of me complaining about the lack ...

in the past months, i can't stop thinking about the future. while i don't know what will become of me in the next few days, years, I know for sure that i need to save for it. unfortunately, my fate in the love department is not quite promising. so, tally is still in favor of me being sinfully single. though a bit scary, i know i can deal with being old and alone. the key to dealing with that is to have money. yep, i need to have enough [or more] to pay for my needs and i'm projecting for salary of a help. my family is very nuclear. i don't have cousins that are really, really close to me. both my sister and brother don't have relationships [that i know of]. thus, i can't see nieces or nephews in the picture as well. so it's imperative that i begin to save for my future so i will have something to help me get by when real old age and frailty come knocking at my door. now, the problems that i see in me saving for the future are these: 1) carpe diem - i've ...

it's easter sunday and what did i do? nothing special as usual. woke up past nine in the morning. ate leftover pasta with del monte's carbonara sauce while i watched a few episodes of burn notice. then the rest of the day was all housework. cleaned my pet house and finally tackled my fresh laundry. i'd say it's a big accomplishment as i'm usually lazy and i managed to iron 30+ shirts, four jeans, and a few house clothes. like i said, nothing interesting. just wanted to note it down here so i'd be reminded that i can NOW actually do household work on my own. i used to just eat, sleep, and do nothing else when i lived with my parents. now that i'm living solo, i get to do these things. although not as good as my mother, i think still deserve a pat on the back.

Four days of no work. Yay, right? Only to a certain extent yay, unfortunately! I'm really grateful for the break, but what I'm not grateful for is the time it gives me to have so much thoughts. Knowing me, having the time to think isn't really healthy for my well-being. Primarily because I have the tendency to dwell on the negative more than the positive things in life. Anyhow, just to kill the lethargic and bored feeling i'll just humor myself by listing some of the thoughts running in my head at the moment. Well, really they're my way of avoiding the month-worth of fresh laundry waiting for me to iron them. Argh, i've been putting off doing the ironing of clothes, but looks like I've to do them today as I no longer have pressed clothes to wear come Monday, or even today or tomorrow, in case I've the urge to get out of Mactan. to travel or to save unlike other people, i don't have many things that get me excited except traveling. lately, however i...
