I should be sleeping now.

But, please. Just one entry.

During weekends, I make it a point to steer clear from anything work-related. I used to take the time to review reports or prepare ahead of time for coaching sessions, but I need to get a grip and let loose. So for the past who-knows-how-many weekends, I've been living like a true bum that I ought to be on Saturdays and Sundays: sleep a lot, eat a lot, sit in front of the computer a lot (not doing work, of course), read a lot, and watch a lot (series and/or random movies and films). It's been very good so far and I am always delighted for weekends to come now. I especially love the sleeping part, most definitely.

Photos. The thoughts in my head aren't as coherent as I wished them to be at this hour (the hour of think-a-lots), so I think I shall fill this post with photos instead. Oui? Oui!

How October looks like (so far).

So I have finally decided to buy a little whiteboard. I like to think I'm helping save the trees by minimizing my use of sticky notes. Hehe.

We obviously (still!) love Tous Les Jours very much. :">

Sometimes my parents take me wherever they go. It's tons of fun for me as long as I get to sit pretty at the backseat (whoooo, all the space to myself). Last Sunday, Pops had an auction at the Manila Post Office. Didn't exactly want to sit through all the bidding, so Mother and I went to Divisoria. WHOOT. Bought my wings and a bunch of unnecessary things. Got tired; came home and collapsed on my bed at 6pm. I did not get up until 10am on Monday. I love Manila and I love sleeping.

Come to think of it, I took the bus with ze parents last Oct 5 to Divi. On a rainy day. And on the bus I sat with a thick roll of bubble wrap. I did my best not to pop 'em all.

Every now and then, I go next door to Lola's house to visit her and exchange stories. Whilst my parents talk to her, I sometimes play the piano. I'm still working on Ballade Pour Adeline and I'm just extremely thankful that I can still read music notes on my own. Sometimes I wish we had a piano in our home, just as it was when we were still in Hawaii. I've definitely rekindled my love for the piano, but I don't play/practice often enough.

Twenty days ago today, I received my first two orders from The Book Depository (UK)! You wouldn't know the happiness I felt. So happy that a few days later I decided to order another book from the same store. The wonders of online shopping! =)

I guess it's inevitable: I am (pseudo best) friends with this fella again. One of the biggest douchebags I know on the planet, but meh. We get each other, for the most part and that's that. (Also, I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate this person once again, soon. Always happens.)

Sometimes you have to do what you can to make life in the office a lot more fun than it usually is. Sometimes, you can rely on your friends to cheer you up. :)

Sometimes work is actually fun! Especially when you get involved in these kinds of projects that you actually like. That I actually think is fun. (Thank you, Isabel, for the group shots.)

October is a rather busy month; honestly, I think I've been really productive. I don't even have much time to go through Tumblr in the office anymore! (HAHA! Not that I should be doing that in the first place, anyway.) But yeah. The items on that calendar are incomplete. I have notes...everywhere!

I don't know if I've become extra vain lately, but I present to the world: my bare essentials. Of course I carry three other shades of lipstick in my purse plus a lip balm (not in the photo). But anyway, I don't know what's become of me. I'm just really annoyed, I suppose, with all the spots on my face because I keep popping my pimples, which is such a terrible habit. UGH. Mineral face powder + concealer is a daily must until my face clears. :( Also, I love Human Nature's sunflower oil. =)

These were taken just literally two hours ago. The wonders of light makeup. And proper lighting and angle and neat hair. (I really hate it when my hair's really nice at home, but is a full blown mess when I'm somewhere else.) The last photo (bottom right), of course, is my face after it has been washed. Which means I am ready to sleep now.

There's still a week left in the month. And there's still tons of things to do, especially at work. But anyway, I need to prioritize my shizzle fo' dizzle, especially now that Christmas is fast-approaching. Life gets crazy every now and then, but really, I don't think I'd have it any other way.

I just have a lot of internal conflicts and battles and such. But that's for another entry.

Whoot. It's hump day Wednesday!
