Jump Start

Thursday, January 14, 2010

I don't want to do a repeat of 2009. I don't want another year of nothing. It's never easy to jump start change most especially if we've been stuck in a state of inertia for the longest time already. I've decided that 2010 is my make or break year. This is it. I'm going for gold. Haha olympics?!

Funny thing happened to me at Starbucks this morning...

The barista didn't want to give me a sticker for my drink because she already punched my order. Apparently, you have to show your card first before ordering. I didn't want to make a fuss about it and it was too early in the morning for me to be a bitch about it; although in fairness to me, I really am not the bitchy type. Anyways, I don't think I'd be able to complete all those Christmas drinks.  

And so, there I was quietly waiting for my drink when the barista called me again. The stranger next in line is going to give me her stickers for the 5 drinks she ordered.  

So in a span of minutes, I went from 1 to 0 to 5!  

Moral lesson of the story: When a door closes, there's always a window open. Just gotta open our eyes, mind and most importantly, our hearts. Patience is always a virtue. :)

Day 2: Back to the Daily Grind

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

 Today's horoscope is so accurate. I feel tired today despite my two cups of caffeine. I've decided to take the night off and cool down from all the stress. Phew! 

On a separate note, I've been doing good on one of my new year resolutions - that is, no more stalking. I want to free my mind from senseless thinking, worrying and possible heartaches. Stalking doesn't help much on that end. 

2010!

Last day of the year...

Like always, life is filled with hellos and goodbyes...

Say goodbye to...

old grudges,

sad memories,

bad habits,

painful heartaches,

bitterness and anger...

THROW ALL THAT AWAY.

Let go. Keep on moving forward.

Forgive and forget. 

Live and learn.

Say hello and make space for...

new beginnings,

new friends,

new hope,

new loves,

and second chances!

Keep the good things in your life close to you. Let go of those that make you sad. Life's too short to be angry, bitter or sad. Laugh more, love lots and open your heart to new possibilities and surprises. 

Finally, it's the last day of the year. I'm so over 2009. Nonetheless, I thank God for all of 2009's lessons. I've learned tremendously. And so, I'm now leaving 2009 behind - all of it in its entirety; walang labis, walang kulang, no more, no less. I'm hoping that 2010 will be kinder to me and that it's going to be a better, if not one of the best years for me. It's time to start making things happen.

Happy New Year to Everyone! Here's to a funtabulous year ahead for all of us. Cheers. :)

Self Indulgence

Sunday, December 20, 2009

Ayayay I splurged on shoes today. Well I'd like to think of it as more of an investment, hehe. Before anything else, can I just say that a good pair of pumps is a rare find these days. See me and my sister made a deal - I'll buy my Stella Luna only if she buys her Steve Madden. Oh well it's not as if we self indulge all the time. Minsan lang naman and I think I've worked hard for it. What with a whole year's worth of sweat and high blood?! I think I've earned it and that's even an understatement. Yeees. Yun yun eh. Haha. It's actually my first time to do Christmas shopping for myself. Buti nalang my horoscope kinda agrees with me. Lol.

'09 Christmas Wish

Dear Santa, 

I want an Edward Cullen too. Please prioritize. Thanks.

P.S. For your consideration, I've been nice. I think. Does that help my case? 

Love, Candice

2009.

Monday, December 14, 2009

Today is officially my last working day for the year. Wow whatever happened to 2009? Pffft. Needless to say, 2009 hasn't been exactly good to me. Even so, I look back still with much gratitude for the year that was because I know in spite of everything, I am still blessed. And so, I am looking forward to 2010 with much faith, hope and positivity. No more expectations, steady vibes lang all the way and maybe then life starts coming together and things will start falling into place.

As a takeaway to 2009...

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
