I know that I can sleep soundly at night if I finally complete all the pending items on my list. One of the items is to get a life insurance. I’ve been postponing this item because I haven’t gotten a satisfactory offer yet. But I am going to force my agent to get me good quotes already. Otherwise, I will just postpone this one again and again.

I am not good in following through. I admit that. But I do my best to finish something I started as soon as possible. Now, if only I can get hold of my agent who is really busy at the moment.

I saw photos of a former schoolmate. She and her kids were in a hotel and were swimming in the hotel pool. They were all wearing bathing suits. I felt like buying boxes of slimming pills when I saw their pictures. I also want to go swimming wearing a bathing suit! And I don’t want to look like a whale while wearing one.

I’ve been telling myself to lose weight. Walk, exercise, stop eating like there’s no tomorrow. But the temptation around me, plus my weak determination… I don’t know if I can still wear a bathing suit. Probably when I am wrinkled and gray and no one will bother to look my way.

My friend’s SD card got corrupted during the last day of our weekend out of town trip. All the pictures saved to it were lost. I told my friend that it doesn’t matter because the memories will stay. But of course it is still good to have an evidence of the trip.

My sisters and I are going back there. As a precaution, we will be bringing with us two digital cameras as well as my sister’s phone which has a really clear camera as well.

I am not hiding the fact that I am short in funds most of the time. Despite the fact that I am earning above average income per month, I still find myself short of funds from time to time, especially during months when there are birthday celebrations of family members.

Most of my dream travel destinations stay just that. As a dream. I’ve been vocal about my wish to go to the beach. But I can’t do that yet because of lack of funds. I can probably go there myself but where’s the fun in that? I want to go to the beach with the family or even with friends. But then it will all go back to the lack of funds.

I know that there will come a time when I will have more than enough funds to finance my travel plans. Soon.

She is crazy in love. She can’t stop talking about her man. In her stories, the man is like a hero, a prince charming, and a demigod rolled into one. I know the truth, though. He isn’t.

It’s a chronic thing, this way of worshiping the man of the day. She’s been like that for years. And when the novelty fades, she realizes what a fool she was for even saying the man’s name with a lilt in her voice. It’s a chronic love problem, in my opinion. It’s a cycle. Like right now, she’s in love once again. And the guy can do no wrong once again.

She once called me up asking if I think the guy is not just taking her for a ride. I asked her why she suddenly thought of it but she just ignored me. I told her that she thought of that because there’s something disturbing her. She just ignored me again. Fine. I do think that the guy might be a player. Another friend of ours thinks so, too. I do pray we’re both wrong. That the guy is also in love with her. She deserves to be happy. She deserves to be loved by a man who will take care of her and respect her for who she is.

But the craziness of worshiping a man needs to stop. I just don’t know how to tell her to.

A neighbor is selling their brand new car that includes a cheap auto insurance for a bargain. The reason they are doing so is because they just got their long-awaited visa grant already. The whole family will be migrating abroad in a few weeks and they are disposing of their properties now. They want to make a clean break and start their new life abroad.

If I only have enough funds with me, I would have bought some of the properties they are disposing of, including the car. I know how the family took care of everything they own so the buyers are really lucky should they be wise enough to take advantage of the bargain the family is offering. Too bad I don’t have enough with me right now.
