I break away from those chains that bind me to an unhappy situation in my life. I use the tools of desire and imagination to provide me with freedom from the prison of limited and habitual negative thinking. I am pulling up stakes and moving on to a better life and a more joy-filled situation.

We all have a choice with the way we live our lives. We may be experiencing difficulties at the moment, it may be hard for us to even smile with the burden we are carrying. But we can still choose to be hopeful, to be positive somehow.

It’s hard. But I believe we can!

I wish we would be needing moving services soon. I would love for the whole family to transfer to another residential area. God willing, in the place we are eyeing for quite some time now. But if we are not yet meant to move, I know that when my brother graduates, we’ll have enough money to pool so we can transfer somewhere more quiet and peaceful. I just hope we need not wait until then.

I am totally in awe of mothers out there. Some are career women at the same time a hands-on mom. I have a former co-worker who even brings her kid to school everyday before she goes to work. Picks her up in the afternoon and then comes back to the office to finish her job. She’d also be doing some errands during lunch time like shopping for discount shower faucets or picking up clothes freshly laundered by a woman she pays to do the job for her. Juggling work and being a mom is something I know is hard work. And I salute the women who do this every day of their lives.

It just popped in my head, this thing about life…

We are all tangled in the cobwebs of our lives. We either get stuck or we get freed. It is all up to us. We can let life pass us by or we can actively participate in it.

I choose to balance everything. Some days I just let life pass me by. But most days I actively participate. I don’t get contented with the cobweb that I got stuck in but rather, I make my own little cobwebs along the way.

Oh the perks of some jobs! A friend of mine gets a free hotel night whenever she renders over eight hours of overtime work in a week! This is on top of the overtime pay that she gets. Now tell me what do you think of this unusual perk of her job? Do you also want the same perk? I do! If my job entails doing overtime work but I get to have a free overnight stay at a hotel, I would gladly take on the job!

I love keeping things simple. I go out of the house in the simplest clothes I can wear, without seeming under-dressed. I love jewelry but if I can forgo it’s use, I do it. With the state of the economy these days, it is more prudent to go out of the house without anything fancy that will catch the eyes of the robbers.

How about you?

A weekend spent with love ones. Catching up. Talking about the future. Worrying about the current state of the economy and the jobs that will be hard to get of newly graduates. Ranting and raving about celebrities. Humming favorite tunes in between.

This is my cozy Sunday afternoon.

Weekends are meant for sleeping in. After a week of working/studying hard, we are all entitled to sleep a bit late, wake up later than usual and just laze around the house. Stay snuggled in your sleep number bed for as long as you want. You know you want to. Read a good book, stare at the ceiling and daydream.

Or go to the mall and stroll around. Do whatever you want to. You deserve it!

I have a lucky charm I always keep in front of my home-office desk. It’s a little bead dog that I call Ursula. She’s been with me for 3 years now. She was a gift from a co-worker, a cellphone chain, actually. It’s not so much a lucky charm as a cute token I can always look at to remind me of the times I was a somewhat happy corporate rat.

I don’t like seeing little kids bullying their parents into buying them something their parents can ill afford. I know some parents who are worried on how they can afford the little luxuries their kids want. Fortunately, I see my little cousins who are satisfied with what their parents have. If their parents can’t afford a PS3 now and are told to wait until Christmas, they would. That’s how it should be. Not the other way around.

My life is a gift of God given, not years but a day at a time.
Today is the day the Lord has made for me, and he planned it to be the most important day of my life.
Yesterday is gone, never to return. I must not worry about it, but leave it in the hands of God.
Tomorrow and all that it holds is God’s secret and its coming is not assured.
Only today is mine.
Each day, arranged by God with infinite wisdom and goodness is his gift,
his act of love for me.

In thanksgiving I will offer him every day the gift of myself my prayers, works, joys and sufferings.

Please God, receive them graciously.

Amen.

Admittedly, I am overweight. My weight has been my constant problem since I was a teenager. Now that I am 30, it’s still the same. I dabbled with some weight loss programs before. One worked but I never sticked to it. Too costly for me. Others, slow results. I am actually looking for diet pills that work now. My aunt is telling me about one but I’d rather keep the name of the brand for the moment. It might have worked for her but I am not sure if it will work the same way with me.

There is a list of the best diet pills at BestDietPills-1.com and I know two out of the 13 listed and I have read about it at local health and fitness magazines even. Acai Berry Weight Loss Pills and Proactol. And the one that worked for my aunt was actually listed in the Diet Pills that Work 2009 at the homepage of the web site. With the statistics showing that so many women like me are struggling with weight issues as we grow older, we really need a solution that works.

But of course, as I’ve mentioned, if one worked for someone, it might not have the same effect on you. So read diet pill reviews first before you go and buy one.
