In The Spirit of Dance

Last two days, my boyfriend and I stayed at my sister’s house after I got home from work. My sister asked a favor from us if we can take charge of her kids first because they are going to church and have their groceries after.

We waited for them for a couple of hours and fortunately, the kids were so behave so we didn’t have a hard time taking care of them. We were even able to talk about something that we rarely talked about.

He just came up with the topic that talks about our future. So you see, as early as now, we are both looking forward to end up forever and that’s why he was so eager to ask me things like, what kind of wedding we want, what is my dream house and stuffs which regards to a married life.

Of course, the finances won’t be out of the topic. He said that currently, he is saving money because he wants to buy gold bullion as part of our future investment so that we won’t only depend on our jobs to secure our finances.

And so our discussion ended up when my nephew cried as he woke up. We then took care of him and after a while, my sister and her husband came.

It's exactly 4:26 in my clock the moment I started writing here in my blog. I know that I should be off to dreamland by now, but honestly, I just got home.

I was with my friends and boyfriend a while ago. We met up at around 8:30 in the evening and we decided to stay at one of our friends' house instead of having coffee at Starbucks just like we always do once a week.

As usual, we have a lot of catching ups to do so we talked until the wee hours. We started talking about gossips and of course the plan for our Christmas party which is the exactly the main reason why we met up. We were supposed to finalize the plan so we can finally book the accommodations since our plan is just few days to go.

We can’t actually wait for our party/Christmas getaway. But before anything else, I nee to sleep already because I am scheduled to go shopping later.

I can't believe how time flies for it's only 14 days to go before Christmas. I bet everyone is excited. Perhaps some are preparing for the foods to eat, clothes to wear or maybe, some are packing their things up for a short Christmas travel.

As for me, I'm still on shopping mode. My bad, I'm still not yet done with my shopping list and it's all because I'm too busy at work that I don't have time to visit the mall. But this coming Sunday, I'm scheduled to go to Rockwell with my boyfriend to buy my clothes since aside from the gift items that I need to buy, I also have to buy new clothes. I guess I have to be ready next month for my credit card bill for I'm so sure that I'll have a lot of shopping to do.

I'm excited for tomorrow and of course for Christmas.

For the past weeks, I'm really thinking of getting myself an SLR camera. I really want to own one ever since it was released for I am a camera addict and I enjoy capturing every moments of my life and even other people's lives.

But then I though that I also want a camcorder for Christmas. I've been actually planning to study film making so I guess it will be a great step to start practicing my skills. And because of this, I'm starting to look for a good deal with camcorders and I'm actually reading some digital camcorder reviews so I will be more oriented with the different models, specs and features.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for now, hoping that I will be able to have enough money for it.

On this day of your life, Vien, we believe God wants you to know ... that it's time you stopped hiding from life, and said yes to the adventure of being alive.

Enough of the routine already. Go on, have an adventure, - do what you always wanted deep within your heart. Do what brings you alive, and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.

Is this a sign? I think God is making a way to make me realize that I should not be afraid to follow what I want and fulfill my dream.

I know that I've worked hard enough to finish my studies but little by little, I’m starting to realize that I'm just not better with my career now. As you all know, I've always wanted to be in the fashion industry and honestly, I can't see myself in the I.T. industry for the next years.

I just hope and pray that this coming 2011 will be a great start for me to finally be in the place where I really want to be.

In just a few weeks from now, another year is about to start. I know everyone is looking forward to it for we have another year to celebrate, cherish and be thankful for.

And as the year 2011 comes, slowly, my goals are becoming clear to me and somehow, I'm discovering which path I should go and follow. Not all dreams can come true as others may say but for me, if you are really motivated to reach a certain goal, then nothing is impossible.

This is why I'm switching plans for I believe that I'll be better there. Securing my future is not that easy. And that's why one of my plans is to get a cheap term life insurance. Second, I'll try my best to be in the career that I really want. I know it could be hard for me but I'm very motivated and I believe in myself that I can do it.

As years go by, I can see that I'm becoming more and more mature. As early as now, I really want to make sure that I'll have an assurance that whatever happens, my life would be secured.

This coming year can make or break us. It is just up to us on how we are going to make 2011 a better one.

Last November 28, my boyfriend and I had a free time and we both decided to go shopping. The initial plan was to go to Greenhills since that's where I usually shop, but then we heard about the Noel bazaar so we agreed to check it out.

I was on the look out that day for a dress since I have an event to attend to the following week. When we arrived there, we saw that there were lots of people so we thought that it would be hard to shop since the place is too crowded already. But when we entered, we found out that the place is big enough to accommodate many people.

There were, I think almost 500 boutiques there and that include the food stalls. We were like going crazy shopping because we saw so many things that we want to buy.

It took us 2 hours before we were able to visit almost every stall. In the end, I was able to buy a cute dress, blouse, pants and gift items for my friends and family. Likewise, my boyfriend was able to buy shorts and tees.

Before we went home, we tried some of the foods there because we were really starving.

It was a tiring day for the both us yet we enjoyed. In fact, we are planning to go back there for the next schedule of bazaar.

I read an article before that says; the feeling of wearing flat shoes is just tantamount to the feeling of wearing high heels.

They said that when you are wearing flats, your balance and muscles are not functioning well resulting to back pain, hip, muscle, joint pain, stress and the like.

Then I suddenly realized that it is true because whenever I go shopping wearing my flip-flops, I always end up having a back pain after the long hours of walking.

Now that there are alternatives to avoid this like the mbt shoes, I'm actually thinking of buying one since I've learned that this can really reduce stress and it is more relaxing to wear as this is designed to help the body move in a more natural way and to lessen the pain accumulated when working or even just walking or standing still. Likewise, this will also help you get into shape, which will surely be a great help to those who are working out and trying to lose weight.

For now, I'm still looking for a great deal for this shoes and I think, this can also be a nice idea for a gift to my relatives.

Christmas shopping is definitely a very tiring job for all of us, plus the fact that we have to deal with lots of expenses. It's inevitable for some since Christmas is somehow associated with gifts and other kinds of token of gratitude.

Likewise, when Christmas is about to come, most people buy new clothes and lots of food to share within the family and friends.

As for me, I've been a bit busy lately for I always visit the mall because I'm looking for new clothes to wear on Christmas. I'm actually searching from online stores as well since it can be cheaper and less hassle because I don't have to line up at the cashier. In fact, I saw one at apple bottoms and I'm on the look out for chic shoes that I can wear with any style.

It's absolutely fun to shop but of course, we also have to consider our limitations especially our budget. After all, shopping is not the real thought of Christmas, it's sharing love and celebrating the birth of Jesus in the most peaceful way.
