Random Thoughts

1) I am on a new routine -- sleep early, get at least 6 hours of sleep, wake up early, go backto doing yoga, get to work on time, less coffee, more water, less chicken, more variety... People keep wondering what brought about the change. I just smile. No special reason. This is just me improving me.

2) No matter how nice guys seem, at some point in time, they do "jerk"y things. 'Nuff said.

3) Some people are engery suckers. It is exhausting to be around them as the kill the positive vibe altogether. They talk about themselves ALL the time and won't take less than 100% of your attention...even if they know that you are busy. They play games and grovel when their games backfire. Thinking that the world revolves around them, they twist every situation to their advantage without thought of how it affects people. I know a few of these "vampires"... and I've learned to stay away from them.

4) Jeng texted me the other day while she was watching the Ateneo-UE game. We used to trek to Araneta, specifically for the Ateneo-La Salle games, with our blue shirts, blue paint and the cheers we memorized by heart. Ateneo actually lost in probably around 70% of the games I watched. Hehe. But it doesn't matter. Win or lose, it's the school we choose... I miss watching those games...

5) Felicity just gave me this brilliant idea. Jeng is leaving for Barcelona real soon. Sigh. She won't be a 3 hour, 300 SGD plane ride away. Instead of sending her snail mail, I will be sending her voice tapes. It will just be like talking to her. How cool (or weird) is that?!

6) It is always great to start or end the day connecting with friends - whether they are miles away, on a different timezone or ya, the next room... Rocky fills my day with laughter. Marian updates me with the latest Manila news. And Trish and I have this Saturday morning lazy-to-get-out-of-bed-lets-chat-on-yahoo-with-webcam routine...To whoever invented instant messaging, I love you :)

7) Trust and honesty are very important. It feels good when someone says "You have my trust".

8) I saw a super cute baby over lunch. Mom was Chinese, and Dad was Caucasian. This proves my long standing conviction that products of inter-racial marriages are physically stunning. The mix is just perfect. I wonder how the baby will look like if its an Asian mom and an African-american dad. Hahaha.

9) I don't particuarly love the beach, but I'm looking forward to this weekend. Rhea and I will be going on our first out of Singapore trip! Wohoo! Snorkeling, Kayaking and the spa --- it will be extremely chill.

10) Prayers really work. I've asked St. Michael to help me with today's work and it hasn't been so stressful thus far. St. Anthony keeps helping me find stuff I've misplaced (which happens often)... Now, now, if only St. Joseph will give me what I have been praying for :)
