Buying a townhouse


2010
04.29

Ella wants to know her credit score. She is thinking of buying a townhouse for her and her two sisters. They are orphans and she is her two sisters’ guardian. Both are still underage and still in school. She found one near her office so she’s thinking of getting a loan for that. But she wants to know if she will qualify because she had a problem with a credit card in the past.

I want to know my credit score, too. Not because I am taking out a loan but because I want to make sure that I don’t have any negative score to deal with.

At the park…

At the park

I saw a woman frantically writing something on her journal. I was at the park then, enjoying a leisurely Sunday. It reminded me of the days you could also see me always frantically writing on my notebooks. I wrote mini-novels back then. Romance novels. I wrote on cheap notebooks. Those were the ones I could afford when I was still in school. But those notebooks were filled with writings.

I can afford to buy expensive quality notebooks now. I even buy those cute little notebooks I see in novelty stores and book shops. But I don’t write that much anymore. I mean on notebooks. I write more on my notebook computer. It’s easier to me. I still keep my old notebooks and I plan on having them bound.

Still, seeing that woman made me want to write pen on paper again…

Skin breakout

Acneticin is available for those suffering from acne, especially these past few weeks. The constant perspiration from the heat of the summer is really causing skin breakouts in a lot of people. My sister is one of those people. We’re actually planning on going to our favorite derm clinic for a much-needed facial.

Hopefully, a more tolerable weather will usher in. I don’t like the rainy season but with this unbearable heat, I welcome rain with open arms!

Person looking back

overweight

I don’t look at the mirror that much anymore. That’s because the person I see looking back at me makes me cringe. She’s overweight and not at all determined to lose the excess pounds in her body. She easily adapts in any given environment. That’s one of her strengths. That’s also one of the reasons she’s comfortable with her weight. It’s really sad.

I was reading lipofuze reviews while talking to my friend over the phone. She was telling me about her dramatic weight loss. She told me that all I need is a firm resolve to lose weight and it’ll start from there.

I wish to have a firm resolve, I swear. I just need to be blindfolded to avoid the tempting food around me.

A big brat!


2010

I feel glad when a schoolmate I hardly ever talk to back in high school would say hi and hello to me. There are several of them in my Facebook account. There’s even one who calls me by my second name. And surprisingly, I don’t mind at all. Maybe this is really a sign of maturity. What do you think? Ha! Ha! Ha!

Back in the day, I was a snob. I wasn’t friends with the people I deemed a no-no in school. I talked only with my circle of friends. Even in our own classroom, I chose people I talked to. I was that of a brat! Thank goodness I outgrew that attitude of mine. I really changed a lot in college.

How about you, were you a brat back when you were younger?

Little blue bag

My sister got one of the promotional bags from a local bank where she has a savings account. It was a very useful bag. Just a little blue bag where you can put a lot of things. In my case, a lot of books!

I asked it from her and she already gave it to me. I used it when I went out of town once and I will use it again for another trip. Very handy. I really love it!

My own TV

I am saving up for a Samsung HDTV. I want one in our living room! I also want a smaller one, probably a 21 inch colored TV in my own bedroom. I watch tv shows at night, most of the time until 3 in the morning. Therefore, it is good to have my own tv in my room because that way I wouldn’t worry about disturbing anybody.

Top employees

The company is giving away three entertainment centers for the top three employees of the year 2009! Wow! It’s a bit late but they explained that they still have to allot funds and all that. It’s cool with me. What matters is that they went out of their way to appreciate their top employees.

I love companies who take care of their employees. A company won’t run smoothly without the personnel and these people will work harder when they know that they are being appreciated. I should know.

Big move

A search for Philadelphia jobs turned out to be a blessing in disguise for my friend. She is working in Boston and couldn’t stand her boss anymore. She just tried to search for a job in Philly because some of her cousins live there. And she found one that fits her to a T!

She told me that she will make the big move before the end of the month. I wished her luck. I know she can do it. I am praying that she finds a boss who will treat her well and appreciate her hard work.

Lose it!

I was short of breath when we went to the mountains. Gravity. Altitude. A mixture of both. I wish I took diet pills weeks before the trip but I didn’t. I wish I was able to build my stamina before the climb.

It’s hard to be overweight. A few steps and you get short of breath. A few climbs and you feel light headed. Yes, it is time to lose the fat! And I need to do it… now!

Happy then sad

Two women in the coffee shop were talking about mesothelioma survival rate. I was happy when I entered the coffee shop but after hearing what they were talking about, it made me sad.

I don’t like hearing about sickness and death. It really depresses me. It reminds me of my brother and how young he was when his life was taken away by cancer. It’s been years but there’s still an ache when I am reminded of him and those months that he was sick.

Take a risk and find happiness


2010

I want to share this quote I got from my inbox…

Sometimes you have to let everything go—purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything—whatever is bringing you down—get rid of it. Because you will find that when you are free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.
- Tina Turner

I did this a couple of years ago. I got rid of what’s stressing me the most. And you know what? I achieved so much happiness when I did it. It was a risky move on my part. I am the breadwinner after all. But I took the plunge and look where it led me.

I know that most of you out there are afraid of taking risks, afraid of leaving your comfort zone. But calculate everything, plan, seek advice from people you trust, plan some more. And pray a lot! Harder and more frequently than normal. Ask for a sign from above.

If you think you are confident already, take a risk. Take that risk! It might be the thing you are praying for. It might be the only way to achieve that elusive happiness you are seeking for so long.

Little Story

RubyTuesday

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized Everybody wouldn’t do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Hahahaha

It’s really funny!
