Panic Mode

I don't know what's happening to me these past few days.

I missed my 9:40am flight back to Manila today.
I learned never to assume because as my colleagues would say...ASSUME is making a** out of u and me.And yes, I assumed my flight was at 1pm...because that's my usual flight...but no...when I checked out of the hotel...I looked at my ticket...and saw that my flight was at 9:40am!!! What the f?!

Lesson learned...always check the ticket. I think that's one of my bad habits...I never look at my ticket thoroughly. This is actually the second time I missed a flight. Last year, my friends and I missed our domestic flight back to Manila. I hated the agony of waiting. I hated that panic mode I was in.

Luckily, someone out there saved me. I was able to get a flight.

No more next time please.

Finally

Finally I was able to sleep soundly last night and wake up late this morning. (Thank God today is a holiday for them!)
Finally I was able to buy the dark brown wedge sandals I like. (Found a shop with my size!)Finally I was able to listen to James Blunt's You're Beautiful the whole day. (Singapore's theme song...I think!)
Finally I was able to go to the gym for the 2nd time this week. (Bukas ulit!)
Finally my coughing spasms were lessened. (Pesteng ubo be gone!)

I am thankful for life's simple joys.
I just wish I can go home sooner.
I am counting the days...

Insomniac

I don't think I am an insomniac. I sometimes can't sleep at night because of too much caffeine in my bloodstream. Tonight (rather today), I can't sleep because of my cough (pesteng ubo). This has been dragging most of my energies since Jan 1. I will do anything to get rid of this. Save me!

For the meantime, let me post this SMS from my cousin - Haidee:

Everything that God allows to come our way is with a purpose. He uses even the greatest error and the deepest hurt to mold us into a person of worth and value.

How true...thanks for those words of wisdom.

This pesteng ubo has a purpose. Ok please let me sleep now.

Resolutions...resolutions

As always, I like to start the year right by jotting down my new year's resolutions. Others may think it's too cliche but this really works for me. I don't want to list down my last year's goals but I am proud to say that almost all have been accomplished! (Applause! Applause!) Yeah, yeah except for that one...that one big goal. My closest friends know what I'm talking about so no need to publish that. =P

So a few of my goals for this year are the following:

1. Exercise and keep myself healthy - no more fractures or dizzy spells please.
2. Learn and practice how to cook like mom.
3. De-clutter my room (shared with my sister) on a quarterly basis
4. Think positive - this will always be included in my yearly list. Yes it's one of my mantras.
5. Take risks - am I ready for this? Remember philo - lundagin mo beybe!
6. Secret resolution # 1 - to be revealed on Dec 31, 2006.
7. Secret resolution # 2 - to be revealed if I have accomplished it.
8. Help the ones who need help.
9. Thank Him for the blessings and share these blessings to others.
10. (I leave this blank as I am sure I will think of something new to add within the year. This will be null for now.)

Looking forward to the year of my Peachy.
