October and beyond

i like this habit of making list of the things i would do or buy in the near future because i have this tendency to forget them and i'm blaming it to my short-term memory -- (read: i'm a scatterbrain). my problem is i don't jot them down in my planner (next year i'm contemplating whether to buy another planner or just a little notepad for my everyday thoughts), instead i would have this little notebook in my bag and just place it there. but if i'm too lazy to get it, i rely on my phone's draft message. believe me, i have like several reminders and to-do lists there.

anyway, by the month of october, i hope to be free again. and by that i meant not messing all my time by bumming around the house and parking my ass in front of the computer all day (really? my mom just bought me HIMYM seasons 1-5! aaacccck!).

you see i'm planning to study again. maybe an MA in business ad or take up a short course in culinary. i wish i have enough moolah's to cover for these. well, i have a job but my career is stagnant. i don't know why i feel this way but it seems like i'm getting nowhere. it's like i'm direction-less, still far, far away from becoming successful. i want to do and experience a lot of things but unfortunately, i don't have the means just yet. whenever my friends and i get together and talk about life i most of the time couldn’t think of anything remarkable to talk about. And that was depressing, because that only means I haven’t really lived. and that's sad at 23.

so until i take off for Lord knows where, i have to keep myself occupied, and this is what i've got planned so far:

1. exercise at least thrice a week even if just at home. i would love to enroll myself to a gym and have my personal trainer but i'd do that when i'm gonna be financially stable. haha. for the mean time, simple cardio routines at home will do.

2. detoxify myself for at least 5-10 days. hopefully i'll start the 2nd week of october. i've been hearing positive reviews from this so i might as well give it a try. HELP. ME. LORD. :)

3. give bikram yoga a try. sooooon! i'll have to recruit my cousin a.k.a the-person-to-pursue-me-when-i'm-about-to-quit. haha.

4. write and read books more!!! :)

5. save more! i swear, if ever my meeting with someone pushes through next week and the renting of my license goes smoothly, i'll save up the paycheck he'll give me.

6. take a picture every day for the rest of the year. and this reminds me of my project 365. whew.

7. basically, get hot! Haha!


it’s not sounding like much yet, but I just want to always be learning and improving myself so that the free time doesn’t feel so wasted. i needed to write this all down so that I would stick to it. after all, it’s out there now. :)

i’m not a fan of uncertainty and i hate that my life is up in the air right now, but i feel like this is the right thing to do at this point in time.

really, I just want an adventure.
