Happily whatever after

Lately I've been waking up earlier than the usual like 6 am I usually get cranky when I have to come to work early and wake up around that time but these days I'm thankful it gives me some time to pray and evaluate the past day - what I have I accomplished and my goals for today. Like I have just said my little prayer, how I am grateful for all the blessings, - the family and friends, my job and the likes. I prayed for my bestfriend when she's going thru some heartbreaks and some transitions in her life. I prayed for those who are sick and of course I pray for my health, my love life and career. I also said in my prayer that I am looking forward to whatever the days are in store for me and that these uncertainties excites me. I don't have some big new years resolution that becomes overwhelming like losing x lbs, dating Kelan Lutz or Bradley Cooper ( I kid) . Saving x amount . But I swore to be thankful everyday, pray some more, put on SPF, sleep early, give back and spend less time on the net so far I have difficulty doing because even my journal is online/ digital. ( I'm not good in writing cursive, that's an accepted fact) I have my own notes I make in a haste sometimes I have difficulty reading after. Let go of past hurts, let go of counter productive thoughts and toxic people and situations. I will still have to walk with my dog as usual as an exercise.

As I've said, if new years signify some new beginnings, a clean slate if you may, I'll just play it by ear, take everyday as it comes, get excited for what's in store. I'll go to work and serve our customers with a smile on my face and be of service to the community outside of work . I want to be able to find time for that. I will also try to be religious and not just spiritual. Finding a religion is not really all about going to church and believing in something . True religion ( not the brand) should be about goodness, I believe.

I do have some major goals I wish to accomplish in 2014 (and beyond) ( like in some contract there is the fine print or a disclaimer I have mine , in other words it's not really cast in stone in 2014 ) The biz venture with my bestfriend we are finally making it materialize. My workmate teased me that he has been hearing same thing from me every new year , like I'll save more, pay my credit card have a biz venture. Told him this time, fingers crossed . We have been putting it off the past years, it's high time. I mean we have all these ideas, we even have to meet up several,times like when she's based in Cebu and me in Iloilo we have to schedule a meeting in Manila and each time we just ended up partying, shopping and eating its actually long over due. Curiously, I have to be reminded of that entrepreneurial push January 1, I messaged my bestfriend about it ('enough bout me) and she was actually thinking the same. Then a few days after some situation happened to her like she has to cancel her plans of going to London to be with the boyfie not to mention she resigned from her fab job to pursue that plan which is now iffy and now she has all the time in the world to actually brainstorm and coordinate with suppliers and set meeting with me and our other friend for the said biz. As of this writing we have decided to call our biz Love ventures because its born out of love. How ironic when this biz was spawned out of the time she was breaking up with some guy. I guess its more of our inspired effort, our zest and love for life itself and how we want that biz to be able to give back to a community when it's able. The timing has never been perfect. That is thinking on the positive of course. I know its not as easy as it seems but she is a strong independent woman I believe that shell transcend all the trials she said she could even become a motivatioal speaker if she wants to. I told her she could becomea life coach she have a rich material after all her experiences. She could even join the Pbb which incidentally has their auditions now, if she wants to. We would always joke her that she could join the Big Brother and become a celebrity if she wants to. It could be a great exposure for our plannned biz if ever. She could become a stylist in case, after. going back to my plans, in 2014 ( and beyond) I want to travel to Europe and US, hopefully afford to go to all the music festivals, like coachella, wonderland, tommorow land . This is a life long dream after I do it , I can settle down, ( or not) have kids maybe Retire and travel all of the Philippines as well , but not necessarily in that order. ( the disclaimer). I want to get married, have a baby, if that's still possible (tick tock bio clock hello!) if that's still in the cards or if the stars align for that. ( I'm being ridiculous here) But I do pray for that along with finally making an online account in that dating site. Prayer should be paired with work as they say. I know I have become so jaded marriage has lost its appeal on me but I still have a little flicker of hope that I could still become a parent or a mother marriage or no marriage. Meantime, I have to check my email and see if here's someone interested in me and make it happen - as the tagline of that site goes....
