Yay! Finally! The theme is already what I wanted it to be

Thank you, Anne of PinkFab.info!

It was so easy to deal with her. You just tell her what you want done and she’ll do it. So if you are thinking of getting a custom theme for your blog, go to Anne and she can do it for sure.

I had a custom theme made for this blog. It was done already but I didn’t like the sidebar so I am having it changed a bit. I am hoping to get it before the weekend so I can unveil the new theme by November 1st. Hoping…

Anyway, I am not yet decided as to revamping the whole blog. I just might. I am not yet done thinking about the blog topics but I want it solid by the time I put up the new theme.

For now, I apologize for the sporadic updates. I am really not in my “fighting” mood for weeks. I hope I will be when I put up the new theme soon.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Life is pretty unpredictable. There are times when you are up, or down. There are even times when you feel like you are always on the downside of things, when you can’t catch a lucky break. I speak from experience. I’ve been in a period of my life where things were always looking down. But it’s like there are toggle switches in our lives. A couple of years ago, things were looking up for me. There were unlucky breaks here and there but I would like to think that life is okay so far.

How about you? How’s life so far? Are you enjoying it?

I love Sheryl Crow. She is a breast cancer survivor and have emerged as a fighter when she became an advocate against the dreaded disease. Here’s The First Cut is the Deepest which is just one of her songs that I like listening to.

Happy Monday!

I don’t know how some of my countrymen will start their lives anew after what happened with Ondoy and Pepeng. In schools alone, so many students can’t go back to normalcy because the schools are covered with mud, classrooms and classroom chairs are left broken, papers and textbooks are washed away. Some are even still submerged in flood waters.

According to weather reports, there is a typhoon coming in within the week again. I pray that it will not happen because I don’t think my countrymen can take another hit right now. Or even in the months to come.

I was a really good student. You could rely on me to take notes, listen to the teacher/professor attentively, study the lecture ahead of time. A GMAT prep is easy to me. A normal quiz was something I looked forward to, just to test my listening skills. I loved being in school.

Not all kids feel the same way. And not all kids are given the privilege to go to school. In our neighborhood alone, there are kids that are not sent to school but would rather stay at home to take care of their younger siblings, or to help their parents earn a living for the family. It’s horrible for the kid, not to get the education he/she needs. This is a problem not only in the country but also in other 3rd world countries as well.

I hope that in 5, 10, 15 years from now, the problem with education will be presented a solution. It’s sad to realize that other kids won’t feel the love I had for everything school-related.

If you really think about it, there are various ways to lose weight. Naturally, some are effective on you, some won’t be as much. But then, before any of those weight loss products and weight loss schemes, make sure you have the resolve to follow through. Because it is very easy to get the product, go to the gym, eat the food that will cut down your fat, carbo or calorie intake. Keeping on the right track is the hardest. Sooner or later, there will be hundreds of tempting treats lining up your way and it is truly hard to say no to each one of it.

That’s how I lost the battle two years ago.

I am looking forward to this weekend because I will be seeing a number of people I’ve missed over the past few months. I am hoping it will be a great weekend for me. With lots of sleep time and reading time, too!

Enjoy your weekend!
