I just noticed that I didn’t have any posts for the month of March yet. Well, I haven’t updated my blogs for quite some time. I don’t know. But, for the past few months, I became a studyholic. I’ve been focusing on my studies a lot, which I think is a good thing especially now that I’m a graduating student. I’m not yet completely done with my course requirements for the semester. But, I’m almost there. I just need to pass our Philosophy paper (group) and present my speech. By next week, I shall be free!
Since I got a lot of free time in my hands (well, not really), I decided to reread Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret. I have listened to the audiobook before but I didn’t pay much attention. In simple words, the law of attraction is the greatest secret.
I must admit that I worry about almost everything. Plus, I’m a bit pessimistic too. But I tell you, I’m trying my best to only think about positive thoughts and worry not about every little thing. So far, I think I’m doing well.
I live in a musical world. Of course, I’m kidding. But there are times when I worry and nervous about many things, I usually “sing” in my mind songs like “Everything’s Alright” (from Jesus Christ Superstar) or “Positive” (from Legally Blonde the Musical). I know, it’s weird!
I think I’m digressing too much. Back to the original topic.
One of the things I learned from reading The Secret is the power of visualization. If you want something, you need to visualize and believe that you have it. So, I turned my cork board into a “vision board” wherein I put up pictures of the things I want and I would look at them everyday and visualize as if I already have them.

Since one of my goals for this year is to save money, I told myself that I should become “OC” when it comes to financial matters so I could track where my money go—every single peso, that is. Before, I would often ask myself, “Saan napunta ang pera ko? (Where did my money go?)” It was only during the last quarter of 2009 that I have decided to use different tools to effectively track my finances.
Before I write about out my “concrete steps” in order to save money, I would like to share with you the five different tools I use to track my cash flow.

Happy New Year! Last 2008, I started this “blog tradition” of writing a list of my goals for the year. However, I’ve become a “professional procrastinator” after that so even though I’ve accomplished almost all my goals, I failed to write my goals for 2009. I don’t have a year-end post (because I was so drunk last night) and I guess this one would do.
- Finish my associate’s degree and graduate by May 8, 2010 – Just like last year, my first goal is about school and graduation! A few only know that I should be graduating by May 8, 2010 (if God permits). I’m currently taking the last few courses I need to finish my associate’s degree from UP Open University. Graduating on time has been one of my worries upon entering college so I’ve been working my ass off just to graduate on time by taking more academic units per semester and taking summer classes. I hope my efforts would pay off. Click to continue reading »
I love the Internet and I believe that e-mail is one of the great things that humans invented. We live in a fast-paced world and many things can happen in a click of an eye. And so, e-mail made the typical “snail mail” a thing of the past. Well, not really. Can I just say how much I love sending and receiving letters thru snail mail? Sending and receiving letters and postcards via snail mail gives me a warm and special feeling—It’s really different—from sealing an envelope up to pasting a postal stamp and then dropping it to the mailbox. Plus, nothing beats the thrill of excitement you feel while opening a letter. It’s simply AWESOME!
It’s actually a great thing that I still receive a couple of letters and postcards sent the usual way. Luckily, I usually receive a letter from the World Vision child I’m sponsoring. Although he’s still young and still developing his writing skills, he really replies to my letters. He actually sent me a Christmas card a couple of weeks ago. So cute!
A Plurk friend shared with me a very wonderful website that promotes the use of the “snail mail.” The site is Postcrossing. Postcrossing works pretty simple – you send a postcard and you receive a postcard in return from a random person somewhere in the world. I joined the site a couple of months back and I really love the experience of sending and receiving postcards from/to different countries around the world. I’ll be sending two postcards to USA and Finland tomorrow. I can’t wait to receive more postcards! I’m so excited!
Postcard I received from Seattle, WA! <3
Actually, my sisters Dianne and Roxanne joined Postcrossing just yesterday.
