OMG So Exciting!

I visited Ms. Cassandra Clare's website and found the cover for City of Lost Souls! And gosh I'm so excited... I cannot wait to read it, I know it's gonna be AWESOME! It's going to be released on the 8th of May, 5 months from now (patience patience patience).

The guy on the cover posing for Jace's gorgeous. And does this mean Clary and Jace are finally gonna get back together *crossing fingers hoping for the best* I mean because the ending of City of Fallen Angels is such a cliffy, made me "WHOA-WHAAAAAAAAAAAT-WAIIIIIIIT-DON'T END YET-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" so I'm really really really really really looking forward to the next installment in this super wonderful awesomest favorite of mine :) And yay!!! 5 months to go!! :D

Me super excited

Annoyed

I really couldn't understand why some people just wouldn't ask you properly if it's all right for you to wait for them until such time... I have stuffs to do you know? I have a life of my own. I wouldn't be this annoyed if you'd just ask before you assume.

Geez...

Considering Keyboard

Made a partial draft of first chapter of the story I'm working last night. Typing on the computer's pretty nice, but I think I might have gotten too used to my workplace keyboard. When I did the typing at home my fingers got a little stiff... Perhaps there is a need to purchase a new keyboard. Preferrably something similar to the one I'm using at work, but I quite like my keyboard at home...

Hmm...

My New Years' Resolution

1. Money Control - Make a proper budget (with label envelopes) for my expenses

e.g. one envelope for daily allowance, one for phone bill, another for book allowance, one for my savings and so forth (like if I wish to items like let's say a new computer, I'd make another envelope and label it "New Computer Fund").

This way, I will be able to properly check on my expenses.

STATUS: Started - it's up to me to continue the practice

2. Healthy Eating - I shall do my best to avoid eating junk food or fast food. Also, I shall strive to eat on time and drink lots of water (I used to do this before and it helped me lose weight, I just got sidetracked and you know... just ate whatever came to mind) so yeah... another NYR :)

3. Jog and Walk - Again I've been doing this a lot before. Like I walk home instead of using the public transpo, then I got into the habbit of using the public transpo often. So I'm hoping to go back to my fantastic walking hobby from before.

4. Do a lot of blogging - I've been keeping this blog for a while, I haven't updated it as often as I did before, so I'm going to go back to blogging again. I enjoy it a lot and I think it can really help me with coping up with stress and stuffs, plus it's an awesome pastime (me thinks). So my plans: I want to keep a book review blog for my book reviews, and a food and places blog (since I love to explore and to check out foodstuffs from different places - note: Not really overeating, just exploring different cuisines, and it's not all fast food so I'll still be keeping up with my number 2.

5. Go business go! - In relation to number 1, I shall have to find more means of earning. :) And I think going back to my usual ways (selling stuffs) could really help me here.

So basically, I have to think back to the times where I was able to do positive stuffs and gain positive results and then do those positive stuffs this year for positive results this year. It seems that I've forgotten the things I've been doing before which were actually beneficial to me. I'll do my best to be better this 2012.

Ja ne~~ :)

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I know it's already the second day of the new year, but I wasn't able to post anything during the New Year (January 1) as I was preoccupied with cooking stuffs for our Noche Buena. I decided to cook since I haven't really done a lot of it since last new year. I only made simple stuffs though, like Cookies and Cream layered cake, I cooked the ham so it must count for something as well, and chili con carne. My mom made the pasta and other stuffs. Then the rest we ordered ^_^ It's so much easier.

So we still have the New Year's eve basic stuffs, like greens (letuce) in the form of the fresh lumpia since it symbolizes cash (green veggies look like crumpled cash or something), malagkit so it's sapin2x bought from my brother's friend :), oranges on the table, the cotton, rice, water stuff also for the table, and the sweets, lots of sweets for those with a sweet tooth, like me :D

It's been wonderful. Then during the day, we ate and ate and I cooked again and ate, an addition to the pounds (but that's all right, it's a celebration after all!). Then I opened a book I've recently purchased, it's called Switched by Amanda Hocking at it was awesome. I just love it. And now, I'm digging in the second book. Another great read to add to my favorites list.

Anyway, it's a wonderful start to a new year. Thank you Lord for helping us in 2011 and we ask for Your guidance in 2012.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
