Aren’t we all a little crazy on the inside? Random musings, it’s late and still in the office. I wonder if this will be the ending trend of 2011 or the beginning of 2012.
My Strong Opinion
Starlight
So lately, I’ve been pretty much plagued with this song. I think I heard this song from 99.5 RT (been listening to it a lot lately, and Imma liking them!). Since then, the song has been stuck in my head.
If you’ve known me for a while now, you’ll notice I’m quite reserved when it comes to pop songs, especially when they’re too cheerful. I think this song caught me at a time when I was really really sad and it just perked me up. Hahahaha. I wish I can say much to my dismay, but it really is impossible to listen to this song and not be the tiniest bit happier.
Sadly, their record label dropped them last August. It didn’t take them long to disband altogether.
Awww. I guess I wasn’t meant to be a fan of pop? And maybe just the song? Hahahaha. Either way, this picks up my mood. :)
Secrets: The Blog That Changed My Life
Exaggerated? Not really. I mean it when I say PostSecret saved my life.
PostSecret was founded in 2005 by Frank Warren. He encouraged everyone to send a postcard — stylized, of course — and reveal a secret that you have never ever ever ever spoken of before. He uploads these postcards in his website, and soon enough, it has created an anonymous community of acceptance.
A few years after its launching, PostSecret teamed up with 1-800-suicide to help out the anonymous cries for help he usually receives in the mail.
I love this site. I completely, absolutely, love everything about this site. I also downloaded the app, and although there are quite a few non-secrets revealed there, I still love it.
This site made me feel that I am never alone in whatever I am going through. More than a couple of times, I have been able to relate to some of the secrets revealed there. The sharing is therapeutic; it’s almost like a breath of fresh air, just letting it out. I love this site for the fresh air.
Head over there and I guarantee, if you just let yourself feel and open up for a while, you’ll feel exactly like this.

What about you? What blog changed your life?
Do not worry
Update on the physical fitness challenge: I managed to go to the gym 3 days in a row. Yesterday, I did four rounds in the circuit. Man, it felt good. Today, I didn’t even notice it was the fourth one. :) I would like to think I am doing very very well. I am keeping it up by matching the workout with more health conscious choices in food. Let’s all pray that this works.
I just love this quote that I found on Pinterest. Lately, Dylan has been worrying a lot and I am hoping that he looks at my blog somehow. So Dy, this is for you, my love. :)
And for the rest of you who worries too much, this is for you too. :)
Workout and Line Cutters
I wanted to kick off the week to a good start. Thankfully, work cooperated with my goal as much as it possibly can. I do not expect the same results tomorrow — a girl cannot possibly be that lucky — so I said to myself, I’ll go to 360 Fitness four times this week.
Is it a death sentence? I’ll let you know.
I was supposed to do four/five rounds, but I started to feel pain along my right shin. Then between pushups and Kettlebells, I felt the strong urge to pee. Hahahaha. I just laughed my ass off. I ended up doing the usual three rounds. Maybe tomorrow would be a better day.
I am aiming to hold a raised plank next time. I still do the usual one, with the bent elbows, but I’ve been eating right and been moving right for the past two weeks. I’m hoping that shows a little bit of improvement.

Line cutters, on the other hand, annoy me. After a workout, I usually grab the shuttle near Ayala MRT station. The line was unbelievably long, and it took a while before it was our turn. Right before boarding, this couple paid for their fare. Just when we were about to board, they just went ahead of everyone! Mind you there were about 50 people waiting in line!
I don’t know where my guts went. I so wanted to freak out and call them out for cutting the line. I didn’t say anything. I felt so responsible for the two seats stolen from the two people behind me. Damn it.
I hate people who have a wrong sense of entitlement. Really. Why is it so hard for people to wait in line? Whatever happened to eliminating the wang wang mentality? Ugh, that’s a completely separate discussion already.
Next time, I intend to bring my balls. *bow*
