    please be gentle.
    please be kind.
    please be better.
    please make me a better person.
    AND please mark the last month of 2013′s 1st quarter with good memories.

    In the meantime, I have to work and make sure to research on nice cigars as gifts to TGL’s friend.

    Yesterday, I was being a Debbie Downer and not understanding l clamps.
    Every little thing annoys me. Then, I checked my calendar, boom!
    A week before the ‘time of the month’ and I am always like this, emotions misplaced. Blame it on my hormonal imbalance but really, I shouldn’t. At this point in my life, I should be matured enough to be able to control my emotions, or at least my reactions.

    Then, a ‘colleague’ was trying to pick on me, read: insensitive.
    Instead of lashing out and retaliating whatever he was trying to say, I went out, closed my eyes, breathed, then finally opened my eyes. This I saw:

    What a beautiful day to be ruined by just the most petty things.
    Then I checked my Facebook account, God was speaking to me:

    Today, Ms. Kitty, we believe God wants you to know that …
    if you feel yourself floundering in the sea of life, try leaning back and floating.
    Let yourself be supported. Gaze into the beautiful sky and allow time for your spirit to be refreshed. Then when you are feeling stronger, simply choose a direction and start swimming.

    I guess more than the hormones acting up, it’s the fact that I am getting burned out with work, life’s routines and this city. But I can’t complain, I know this is all a part of our journey and a preparation for God’s biggest reward.

    I lack sleep and so far I’m not being productive today at work.
    Dear TGL and I have been glued to the tube until wee hours in the morning. Never mind the fact that we have a DVR, we could have opted to record and watch the speech the next day but we stayed up all night and watched the re-elected President’s speech which was full of conviction and speaking only THE TRUTH. It was all worth it and I am praying that our country is in better hands for the next 4 years, more so, MLS’ future.

    Cheers #MrPresident  #GOBama #Elections2012

    Along the trail of this presidential campaign period, I have discovered that I have a friend who used to have a liberal mind turned out to be a Republican, a die-hard one. The type who is not open to listening to what the Democrats stand for. No matter how much I wanted to share my insights and somehow educate her of Obama’s plan (like how I did when I told her about home solar power and she immediately applied the renewable energy concept on their home), I decided not to, all for the sake of our life-long friendship. I still could not exercise my right to vote in this country but I could honestly say that I researched and have watched every single Presidential debate. My stand to support the Democrats was based on factual reasons, it was not like “I have a good feeling about Barack Obama”. However, I realized that there are 2 issues you can choose NOT to discuss or argue with friends or relatives, and that include Religion and Political views.

    Obama: “We are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation…”

    For some reason, or perhaps because of the looming weather (thanks but no thanks to Frankenstorm, Hurricane Sandy), I’ve been very down the past weekend. The retail therapy we did last night at the nearby thrift store did a little bit of help and then after a series of Zumba workout, I felt better. Now, I am back to my A-Ok mode and my usual happy self with some wisdom gained from this sad episode, which is quite normal and happens to most of us. Here are 2 Pinterest photos that could sum up the wisdom I have learned from this weekend’s sadness bout.

    …and so the 1st Q of 2012 is almost done and looking back on my 2012 goals, looks like I need some boosting and pushing. This March, I am challenging myself to 21 days of NO Junkfood and that begins today:

    It’s so funny when 2 of my foodie friends saw this and thought it was an easy challenge. I guess because their the healthy-kind of foodies but to me, this looks like h_ _ l on Earth :P . But I will try and let you know what happened after 21 days. After all, this mid-30s body of mine needs some sort of detoxification. Also, here are other 30 challenges/things I plan to do every single day of this month.
    *30 Challenges for 30 Days of Growth
    *30 Things to Start Doing for Yourself
    *30 Things to Stop Doing for Yourself

    What are your plans this month?
    Off to check this POS Hardware, tata!

    I have become wiser beyond my years.
    Thanks to my detractors :) .

    That’s just a shoutout before I check on these Acid cigars that I need to research for a friend. TGL and I are planning on adding a few cigars on his growing collection. I bet he will be surprised with our gesture and I hope that we will be able to choose the right cigars for a collector like him.
