Sometimes You Need A Starbucks To Save Your Life

I am beginning to change my lifestyle bit by bit. From the food that i eat to minimizing my use of the internet. I am now almost stress-free (except for my zits!)!!!

So since i've changed my activities, now i can stare at the wall without blinking. Now i watch TLC all the time! Now i eat like Jamie Oliver prepared the dish for me. Now i'm fatter.

But what's sad is I can't get myself to read because i've no good books to read inside my room. What i do sometimes is pick up a book scattered inside my mom's jurassic office. When i like it, i bring it to my room and i start reading. And more than once did i like these scattered books. The latest that i got my hands on was this book by Michael Gates Gill.


I remember reading Pour Your Heart Into It by Howard Schultz. It's not like this book by Michael Gates Gill. This is not another business/inspirational book. Gill's book is beautifully written, it's as if you're reading a light novel when actually, you're not. If you're interested in the life of a JWT-executive-turned-Starbucks-partner, then you should read this autobiography.

Because i loved this book, i suggested that my manager-colleagues read it. But since i only have one copy (which is my mom's copy), i plan to give these as Christmas presents.

Zit World

I woke up with another zit this morning, grrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I missed Muji's first day but i'm okay. I'll wait till my zits are gone. bye.

Dear Dear,

Hi there dearest friend, how have you been?

I know i promised i would write you a letter just so i could practice writing. I know it's not a good reason to bother you with my nonsense but i would appreciate if you spare me a few minutes reading my shit.

You know, people have been noticing my zits lately. They're gigantic. Have you had these before? They bothered me for a while so i went to my skin doctor (dermatologists they call themselves). My doctor wasn't at all alarmed. She said it's normal; stress-related she said. She gave me medicine. Now they're all black spots on my face. It's normal, i keep telling myself. I just wish the marks would go away soon.

Hmmm.. did i tell you i lost 2 pounds already? 3 more!!

This might be a bit rude but i'm kinda getting sleepy. I've to read a book we've a quiz tomorrow. So bye for now.

Oh, wait, did i tell you i just told God today, "I'm all Yours"?

Dear Dear,

I miss writing to someone. I remember, back in high school, i used to write a lot. I wrote to my friends using my Sanrio stationery. I miss those days. Now, when i try to write to someone, it feels weird. My letters don't feel real at all. Eeeeeeeek.

So last night i decided i will practice writing to someone through this blog. I will try, instead of simple narration, to pretend that i'm writing to someone. Let's see where this will take me. Hope i'll improve in time.

This thought actually came to me when i learned that my brother Joshua received a letter from his cousin Ading May. She wrote to him in Tagalog, beginning her letter with "Mahal Kong Joshua,"... and ending it with "Ang Iyong Pinsan, May." Her letter was about how she survived her critical condition inside the hospital when she got ill. She told him stories about how often she threw up whenever her mom tries to feed her; stories about how painful everything was. Basta yun, kaka-inspire. I feel this girl will be a writer someday.

In a while i will start with my first letter. I'm excited!
