I am

starting over.

turkish coffee

I had Turkish coffee for the first time and loved it. Little did I know you can have your fortune read by the residue of coffee grinds left in the cup. The woman who read mine was surprisingly very accurate to the point where I was pretty floored with her reading. Looking forward to bigger and better things in the future!!!

birth control

I had the best form of birth control ever this month...baby shower parties!

one of those days

Among many. The man had a mandate so I was at home preparing for the baby shower for Saturday. No, not my own, my cousin's. Sometimes I wonder how I would do it all. My wedding, my baby shower, my...life. I'm not one for making it a show, especially because I'm somewhat of a frugal person. I don't need the excess, if you catch my drift.

Disappointed in myself because I didn't go to Singapore like I promised my cousin. Now I think the visit with a free place to stay is gone. They say live with no regrets, but this is definitely one. Perhaps I'll see her in Paris? I really wanted to see her in Singapore. I should've put that $727 RT flight on my credit card when I had the chance. It would have been worth every penny.

Really wished they had midnight Bikram Yoga classes.

knit and purl

I've finally learned the cable knit. And it's not even hard. I don't know what took me so long. Story of my life.

pillow talk

Drinking coffee. The only thing I crave in the mornings. Besides pillow talk. Begun to listen to music; search for soul in this medium of expression; like I used to. Since fifth grade when I started listening to my brother's RHCP tape. It made me feel like myself, like I was in "tune" with the world. I've neglected this art-form for a long time (other things slash people have distracted me temporarily), and finally I feel like I love it more. It makes me calm and happy.

Lately I've been having feelings of independence. Perhaps it's due to the subject discussed above. I think it has a strong affect on me. I've reconnected with old friends and am open to making new ones. I don't have that pathetic yearning anymore. I can pinpoint it to the very day at my darkest hour. Do you understand?

new year's resolutions

Yes I know everyone has one or two. Who cares right? Well here's mine:

1. Keep music fresh in my mind.
2. Appreciate friends more.
3. Bikram. Weekly.
4. Ride. Semi-weekly.
5. Focus.
6. Medicate accordingly.
7. Control.
8. Thoughts must manifest actions.
9. Leave earlier.
