Thinking Out Loud

I am doing ab workouts to prepare for our Caribbean cruise. I plan to wear my red bikini there. Can you feel my excitement?

Of course there will be other persons there and I want to look my best. It’s a singles cruise and who knows, I might meet the man of my dreams in that cruise. So looking good is a must. I plan to enjoy that trip and come out of it a changed woman.

Jessie is getting his sister the best prenatal vitamins. Jessie’s sister is a single mom. She mistakenly trusted a close friend and thought that he would be the right man for her. He got her pregnant and then left her after. So Jessie is now left to help her sister through her pregnancy. Who else will help her when they have been orphans since they were in their teens?

Trust is volatile. It can be easily broken. In Jessie’s sister’s case, it can’t be repaired anymore. She’s given one trust too many already and she’s wary of the broken trusts she feels she’s not going to give it to anyone for a long, long time.

I can’t remember saying that I will shoulder the condo group’s polo boots but their leader, who’s a good friend, said that I mentioned it one time and now they’re asking if I can already make good my promise.

So I shelled out some of my paycheck money to finance the group’s boots. I was told that my money won’t go to waste because they are the champion last year and they plan to be the champion again this year. Plus, the boots will be used for as long as it’s serviceable.

I actually am happy to help. Especially I am helping out of school youths get back their lives and start anew.

I have so many plans I need to put into action. Some are easily doable, the others are harder to accomplish.

My best friend has this 5-year plan mapped out. Every year he evaluates where he is already in his plans and he would re-work his plan in such a way that it is still applicable to his situation. Then he will continue working to achieve it. About a year ago, we talked about his plan of getting a condo unit for him and his wife. It was just a plan back then, he is now living in one. He also has his own car already.

I don’t envy him his work and his title. I don’t envy him his loans he’s paying right now. I just envy his plans and his ways to achieve it.

I don’t map out the next five years of my life. I don’t have a concrete plan of achieving my goals for the year. I just go with the flow. I do believe that sometimes when you plan everything accordingly, the elements conspire against you so you won’t achieve your goals. But hey, that’s just me! Look where my friend is now. He doesn’t believe in my belief

I was teasing one of the staff in the office about putting up massage tables in the office. She’s really good! Whenever she sees someone in our department stressed out and their back’s aching, she would ask if he/she wants a massage. And boy do it eases back pains! Some people in the office would ask her to massage them and they would give her food or some other thing because she doesn’t accept the money given to her.

She told me that she started massaging her parents and grandparents when she’s just seven. It was just a joke back then that turned out real because she has a natural talent in massaging people. I told her she’d get rich if she focused on that. I think she’s seriously considering it.

Dani has this funny way of coping with stress: she eats chocolates while reading hydroxycut reviews. She’s been obsessing over her weight but instead of doing something about it, she does the opposite. She eats more!

I know others who do that. I eat a lot when I am stressed out or angry. My cousin eats a lot when she feels so tired. My best friend devours food when he is pressured at work. Dani does the same thing. She eats a lot to combat stress, depression and insecurity. It’s bad and she feels she need to talk to a professional about it.

I saw this blog theme where the woman is writing on a journal. It made me want to purchase it right then and there for this blog! Too bad I don’t have enough in my Paypal account to buy it. I wonder why some blog themes are just so darn expensive when the header is so simple and the template used was taken from some other theme.

If I only know how to code a theme, I would have been in that business. I know how to design one. I know what looks good and what suits a blog based on the overall theme of it. I just don’t know how to code and to draw a vector or do that scrap thing.

Oh well, I think I’ll stick to writing on my journals. Hehe

Jennifer is getting laptop insurance as soon as possible. That’s because laptops are getting lost in their office. Since she uses a laptop, too, she is scared it would get lost like the others. The thing is their office is being renovated and security is lax at the moment. The laptops that got lost the last time were taken during lunch break.

Insurance is really important. Some things happen even if we thought we are in control. It is better to have something to fall back on should anything happen, right?

With the kind of weather we have today, eating breakfast or lunch outdoors is a bliss. Just imagine yourself sitting in this patio sipping your favorite drink while waiting for the meal to be served…

I love music from the ’50s and ’70s. When I was in college, my friend and I would spend hours and hours talking on the phone while listening to the oldies. It was a happy time and one where my taste in music really expanded. I was introduced to funky music, alternative, soul and acid jazz. I even had a CD of fusion music.

But the oldies are the ones which still brings me so much nostalgia. It reminds me of those times when life was simpler and problems were down to a minimum.

After those years, it was chaos.

The radio show my friend and I would listen to all those years no longer exist. Even the radio deejay who took requests for music even from the ’20s was no longer with the radio station. I miss those days. I miss the music. I miss everything about it.

Mary is finding it hard to go up and down the stairs in the office. Their company’s office is not located in a building like others. They have their own two-storey office located in another city from where Mary lives. Since it’s only a two-storey office, they only have stairs that they use. She is finding it hard to use it and would often find herself short of breath. She figured out that it has to do with her weight. It is time to really try those weight loss pills that her friends are telling her about.

No need to say that she has to go on a diet, too. She doesn’t go on a workout anymore and she’s always sitting in front of her computer for 8-10 hours a day. Can you imagine how slow her metabolism has become?
