Challenging Day

This day isn't one of the best days. Things have gone wrong one after the other. In spite of the day's many challenges, I really really am tested to keep a positive outlook, if only to keep my sanity.

So far though, things have calmed down and I am so ever grateful. Finally some peace and quiet.

Things are returning back to normal and progressing as they should.

Things should get better throughout the day. I am specially looking forward to a nice evening with my husband.

Life is Good

I've been dreaming about getting a condo near our place of work. Looks like it may come true sooner than we anticipated. I just got an offer from somebody willing to help us with the deposits :-)

My husband woke me up with a kiss.

No traffic today. I got to work in just 30 minutes.

Happiness in my own words

Happiness is an ever evolving definition. It could be a thing, a place or a person. It greatly varies from one person to the next. What is it, really? I like to simplify it in tiny little events that make my day bearable.

Amidst life's many trials, it is often a challenge to look at all things bright and beautiful but we must be vigilant in looking at the positive side of things no matter how impossible the situation may be or no matter how negatively people perceive us. After all, our most loyal companion throughout our lifetime is only ourselves. Friends and family come and go and lead their own busy lives and may not always have the time for us, but we always have ourselves to rely on. We are our own best friend.

Many many things make me happy. People who love me make me the happiest. But the people that make us the happiest may also be the cause of our greatest sorrow and disappointment. It takes a herculean effort to look beyond their imperfections and shortcomings during trying times but we must, in order to stay sane. I've been through a lot of disappointments in my life, almost all reduced me to tears, praying and begging on my knees for the pain to cease. Hardening my heart at closing my mind only turned me into a bitter and miserable person.

I don't want to be that person anymore. I want to be happy.

I want to lead a happy, blessed and abundant life.

The power of positive thinking

Here's my dream :-)

1. Win big in a LOTTO draw!

2. Be rich and retired by 40.

3. Own five condominiums in the Greenbelt area.

4. Travel the world with my husband.

5. Live in a 3-bedroom condo in the Greenbelt area.

6. My husband would also like a red Jeep Commander.

7. To give birth to intelligent, healthy, cute, normal twin boys.

8. Own a commercial building along Aguirre Avenue in BF Homes.

9. Meet Daniel Radcliffe in person. I'm a fan :-)

10. Me and my husband to be healthy and happily married to each each other until we're 80.

If I dream it, it will come. (please please please)

Turn lemons into lemonades...drink up!

Our bathroom sink fell from its bracket. We replaced that cruddy old sink with a new one, Yey!

My one and only black heeled shoes have faded, husband's buying me a new one, Yey again!

Can't wait to shop.

I wore this black dress that I love but got some bad news one time wearing it. But I decided not to tie bad news with a particular dress. Life's too short to hold grudges. Anyway, it's not the dress' fault that I was wearing it when I got the news. After all, I always get nice compliments when I'm wearing it :-)

Lunch bliss

What a satisfying lunch. I've been craving for a mocha birthday cake for two days and what do you know? We have some at the office, what great luck!

I took a walk and it was sunny, I was able to wear my funky red shades. I felt like a movie star :-) 

My boss went out for lunch, ahhh stress-free for a few hours.

I saw my favorite cousin yesterday. 

A new day!

I feel pretty today. 

I'm in a good mood. My boss is in a good mood and hasn't snapped at me yet :-)

A co-worker said I looked better without glasses.

Got to work on time, despite the horrendous traffic.
