Free

Soon, Away. Faaar faaar away.

Withdrawal

It is day 3 of no Facebook, Twitter or whatsoever. I am itching to click on the F app on my iPhone, but instead I choose to blog about this frustration.

I suddenly thought of all the time I have saved, all the time I have used instead of browsing. Earlier and yesterday, I was able to play with my dog, we are already inseperable. I was able to bond with my cousin, my sister and watch tv without any distraction.

So, I still have to fight the urge to check the timeline. I have to fight this curiousity. I am about to gain my focus back, hopefully. I am enjoying every moment with the people I am currently with. I wish not to waste it with me browsing.

Wish me luck. Cheerio!

Trespasser!

How am I supposed to sleep now?

Errrr... This is my big dog, Odin, by the way, at 5 mos. He's biiiiiig! And he's taking over my life and my things. Bummer.

But.. I love him. Soo much. Merry 1st Christmas Odin chan!

Disconnect

When was the last time I wasn't connected?

I was always on the "know" on facebook. And this is drowning my head, information overload on people's business. It distracts me, I easily lose focus. I would like to disconnect it, but I would like to stay in touch. So, I will try my very, VERY best to not login and check my timeline.

I will be doing this on ALL social sites, this is perfect timing because of the long weekends. I need to declutter myself and I need to not be attached to it. Before the year ends, I have to prove that I can be unattached to these social sites.

I know I have to maximize this internet plan, but I can always blog use the Nike + Running app etc. I just need to detach myself from seeing other people's business. I don't need to be a part of it.

Wish me luck!

Bookstores and Me

Whenever I am about to meet someone in a mall, the first place I am bound to go, is really not the most common place for people to go but I love it. It's the bookstore.

Eversince I was in elementary, I have always been fascinated with books and office stuff. Yeah, you read that right OFFICE STUFF, like stationaries, notebooks, ballpens, etc. I can just spend my entire time, waiting for people, around it, I can do and wander around the beautiful things inside it.

This is probably a product of my obssession with office stuffs. When I was younger, I would always save money for art stuffs. I draw as a hobby before and I love having new things under my artsy box/bag so that I can improve. I still have it until today but I haven't been using it lately. I will draw you one art, once I have the time.

I also love books! I love being immersed in it. I already miss reading one, the ones I've been reading lately doesn't captivate my attention long enough to finish the whole thing. I wish for more good books. Well, I know i can find it there.

Anyway, I just couldn't help writing about this idea on a Christmas day. I remember having sooo many people inside on this time of the year, and I still love it. I hate it on school openings though, I hate the cheap notebooks stacked in the middle of the bookstore! haha. Mean me.

Until here, Happy holidays everyone!

Mourning for Virlicia, prayers for her family

Today I mourn for your loss, you've always been someone who has sunshine on her bag and a smile on her face even if your life isn't as bright as it may seem. I will certainly miss your presence, your frantic calls to my sister, and most definitely your laugh, that infectious laugh of yours.

I pray for your family, your husband, your kids and your mom, their lives will never be the same without you and I hope God will guide them. I regret not having a picture of you. Rest in peace Virlicia.

Eating Alone

I usually eat alone. I remember a friend telling me that I look kawawa when nobody is there to eat with me. I look on the other side of the coin and said to her, "I don't think so".

I am a person who, whenever compelled to eat with someone, doesn't want to shut up while eating. Sometimes though, I talk too much, I become a blabbermouth telling every drama every minute detail of my boring life. I sometimes hate it, it makes me goe home feeling robbed of some my deepest, darkest, secret information. I just can't help but to talk! If I'm not the one talking, I would listen to the other person on the other side of the table talking. I hate in-between-silences. I find it too awkward. In eating alone though, I don't have to go through that. I don't have to stress myself in thinking what to say and I can go home with the thoughts in my head safe and sound.

Also, I would like to do things as quickly as possible. In choosing the food that I would like to have, I already have something in mind. I would just have to look for it, hello saved time. When you eat with someone/with a group, it will take you forever just to decide where to eat. Hello impatient me. Nowadays, whenever I am in a group, I would usually decide so that we could all save time.

Of course there is peace in eating alone, you get to think clearly, plan ahead and enjoy your food without having anyone waiting for you to finish. And no, I eat faster than you think, I just thought this one while writing this. Gah!

It's not that I don't enjoy the company of other people. I definitely do, as I said to one of my friends, it's different when you eat with someone. It's just that I enjoy random times like these to eat alone and write a blog post just to keep me occupied (haha now you know why I am writing this).

Anyhoo, it's liberating also to eat alone. I feel invisible in the middle of this mall food court even though inside of my head, you know I have so much more to say. Oh well, I have to finish my munggo and head back home. Tootles!
