Sick... And Tired... And Other Brouhahas

I am on my bed but not really on my bed, but near to me is my bed. Gets? I was sick since yesterday because I guess I got so excited to come back to work. And part of excitement is to have so much fun with my dear colleagues and students. As a result, sore throat-turned-colds-turned-flu, and now I'm on my bed because I am not really feeling well.

It's payback time! For a couple of weeks, I never written anything here in my blog. Due to the fact that I was excessively busy during the last heydays of 2012. And I even unfinished some of my posts which was due last year. Anyways, it doesn't matter anymore. Let those things be left unfinished. Here I am again, flourishing my sleepy writing skills and bringing you back my top brouhahas for the past weeks.

CELEBRATING NEW YEAR - As usual we started our 2013 with a bang, and I truly mean it. We chose to celebrate aside from luscious foods are firecrackers, which the government are still trying to pursue their dream of zero-firecrackers in some areas of the Philippines. Well, we can never pull it out to our culture because it has become a tradition for us, thanks to the Chinese. Numerous accounts of injuries due to mishandling firecrackers were being reported from some hospitals and I may say, goodness! It will not lead to that if they were too responsible enough with their doings, right? On YouTube, I again watched some videos in other places in the world and liking the way they celebrate New Year. Three places have been my so-called "dream destination" in celebrating New Year. One is Taipei because of their Taipei 101 building. It seems that it has full of fireworks display and by looking at it, it's like it's burning. Next will be Dubai, and also because of another building, the world's tallest building Burj Khalifa. I imagine myself looking up above the skies with the building and feeling the magic of it. And of course, nothing will be so spectacular with New York's Time Square. How I wish to celebrate there. As what I have said to my friend, soon.

THREE MONTHS TO GO - Barely three months to go and we will say goodbye to this 2012-2013 school year. I can't wait to smother myself with SPF lotions as I will have a good time at the beach. My family are planning for a summer beach reunion and I can't wait for it. This would be the best time to experience summer away from home. Good luck to my mom as for her, the sun is her antagonist. And good luck to my nephews and nieces as they will be under the sun, literally. And another thing, my good friends are also cooking up with something very special and that is also our summer outing. I'm wishing of going to the beach because finally, I can experience how to become a person walking along the shore. Hehehe!

FRUGALISTA IS ME - 2013 shall be the year when I told myself I should be frugal. I have so many plans to do, and one of them is to study. So instead of going somewhere doing nothing with my money, I shall be more responsible with it. If I don't need it, don't buy it. Think of other things that may lead to another attention and not by dealing with money. If I'm hungry, I'll just go to a nearby store or shop and buy cheap thrills. It may be cheap but it is really good. And yes, 10% of my salary will be going to my chosen charity, myself. I've been hearing so many people who are good in their lives because they know how to save. And because of saving, they've been buying things that they wanted as their gift to themselves. That's good! And for 2013, I will be doing that for sure! And I truly mean it.

STILL THE SAME ME, I GUESS? - Remember my title, I am sick and tired. Sick and tired of having this kind of very argumentative, impatient behavior to my family and friends. I wanted to be a new one. I just wanted to mellow down, to contemplate and to always have in peace in mind. Well, I'm still starting for it so I guess there are still chances of being too hotheaded but to stay away from danger and other stuff, I need not a little bit but a full of peace and tranquility in mind, soul and body. Besides, if I still continue that no one will dare to be with me as their lifetime partner, right?

WHAT I NEED TO DO AND NEED NOT TO DO - To change my act: (1) I need to finish what I started. Even thought it's a mess or not I need to finish it right away. (2) Pursue my dreams. Enough of just this and just that. It's time for me to move up for my betterment. (3) Read more books. I noticed that whenever I teach, I am stuttering and probably my vocabulary skills need to get a revamp. I have so many books but I didn't dare to open it. (4) Find somebody to become an inspiration. Well, no-holds-barred, I already found someone and this person is not a new person for me. So every time I go out, I am in my all smiles. (5) Find time to have fun time. Spa is I think the best time to have fun for me. I am wishing to have one because I need to think about myself. So yes, I need that one! That would be fun! And also, I will indulge myself with watching movies. In that way, I would surely what they say about film-viewing, "relax, see a movie!" (6) Study. That's what I wanted to do, study. My dude tells me that it's different to teach in tertiary level than in basic education level. Don't worry, that's my target. In two years or even shorter than I expected, I am in line with the academe. (7) Tone down my body. And I wish to have a good runner buddy to come with me at BGC to run. Last Christmas, it was a total smackdown between the food and myself and I was the loser. I gain more than 20 pounds and I'm on my few pounds away to 200. (8) Stop bickering to other people. I just wanted to be happy and it is by means of telling jokes around. But I guess there are some jokes that are too hitting and it might lead to where else but fights. If I wanted to say something, in which it could turn to laughing stock, I shall not say it. (9) Write, write, write! I thank those who are still reading my blog posts which may be too interesting to you. Because of you guys, I will surely write. And yes, this might lead to my other prospect career which is writing. And (10) Stop being in love with the idea of love. If it happens to you, it will happen. If it's not for me, then fine. If it's really for me but with another person, bring it back to me. If it's already with me but turns out it's not really for me, screw you! Love will come. It might go but surely the next one will be the best!

I'm still sick but hey, I made it. I finished my very first blog post for 2013 in a matter of an hour. I can't wait what's in store for me this year. 2013 sounds pretty good for me so please, BE GOOD TO ME!

Toodles!!!
