Because I can't sleep. Yet.

I won't even try to deny the amount of vanity I hold within me.

Also, Mother has decided to put up that thick, pink curtain in my room again. So all photos taken within the day in my bedroom will turn out that ^ way. I think it's pretty cool. I love the colour pink after all. Anyway, Bitok told me the other night that I am gaining weight again; that my face is becoming round once more. Sometimes I don't know whether to continue stuffing my face with all sorts of junk (unhealthy) or to stick with veggines, tofu, chicken, and fish (healthy). But I know I also need to continue exercising. It's so hard to keep up with my exercises, but so far I have been walking in the mornings at SM at least once a week. (My goal is still thrice a week. Gah.) Being and staying healthy is serious business. I do think I'm getting fat again, though. What with the amount of junk I've been eating lately. I'm comfort-eating again, when I know I shouldn't be. Eat for energy, not for comfort. #NoteToSelf  Sometimes it cannot be helped.

Also, I take photos of myself when I am alone in the elevator. So I can do that. Meh.

10 March: Nature Trip

Everyone knows how much my family loves nature. And nature trips of sorts. The fresh air, great simple food, animals, trees, plants, blue skies -- all to be found in the countryside. I think this particular day was one of the most fun this month; granted, March isn't over yet. But this was just amazing. Being in the car (as a passenger, yay!) is one thing, but being out there, in the midst of beauty in its most raw sense is one for the books. Anyway, I was totally enamored with the particular farm we visited (which belongs to a general). The house was just so quaint and lovely and the land surrounding it was already so vast, at just three hectares. It really got me thinking to possibly purchase my very own "big land" in the future. I know my parents are seriously considering buying a farmland in the futuuuuurrrreeee, and now I can say I totally support the idea. <3 (At least, a few hectares is much, much cheaper than my very own island. Bahaha.)

I really, really, really have a strong dislike for money. It doesn't help that I reside in a third world country either. I don't like the fact that money controls your lifestyle. And that no matter how much money you have, it is never really enough. It's sad and pathetic, but it is how it is. Money is so difficult to earn yet so easy to spend. I also really dislike this time of the year; the months of March, April, and May are what I consider to be the months of financial lameness (lack of better term) because it just so happens that my premiums all come in during these months: car insurance and life insurance (which is paid semi-annually; I really out to change it to quarterly or monthly or something). Then there's also le credit card bill. It's not so much, but I hate having to pile them up because they grow so so so big what with all the interest and stuff. I usually pay everything off before the due date, but because of the insurance, car, and phone bills, paying my credit card bill all at once is not such a good idea. Otherwise, I'd be extremely cash poor. And no, I do not intend to touch my savings account. 

Tuesday Night

Wednesday Night

I swear once I've checked  all the flavours off my list, I'm done with McDonald's. I don't even remember the last time I've had McDonald's before Tuesday night. I mean, when I am at McDonald's I usually just order hot chocolate, an apple pie or anything from McCafe. Fries, every now and then. But goodness gracious, look at the floats they have on their menu. Gahhh. McDonald's food + float = best comfort food.

I have been writing a lot in my journals lately, which is why I don't blog as often. But the act of filling empty pages with words from the ink of my pen just brings me such great pleasure. I'm happy to be in a very good relationship with my journals once more. ♥
