Count Your Blessings

I’ve never been a complainer. Or so I believe. All my life, I’ve been appreciating whatever little I have. Instead of complaining about the things I lack in, I try to count my blessings. Of course, I get insecure and intimidated every now and then, but I never let insecurity and intimidation eat me alive. Healthy levels lang dapat lagi. Haha.

Problems and challenges are a part of life. That’s why I try to live each day with a grateful heart. Sometimes it ain’t easy. But who says life is easy or fair? How you look at things can brighten or dampen your mood. I always choose the former. I always choose to be happy. And counting my blessings always does the trick.

My Form of Exercise

Losing weight is hard, getting fit and healthy is harder. But as they say, if there’s a will, there’s a way. Currently, I’m still 14 lbs. away to my ideal weight but I know I’ll get there soon. How soon? I don’t know. Haha.

I’ve been doing zumba with my officemates for several weeks now and so far, I’ve been enjoying it. I also want to do yoga (and get myself one of those sturdy yoga bolsters!) but I think I’m not yet prepared to do the various poses and I’m still lacking the discipline to do it on a regular basis.

Company Outing

I just realized tomorrow’s a legal holiday here in the Philippines, it being Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor). I just also realized that tomorrow’s our scheduled company outing over at my part-time job. I thought it’s on Wednesday; I was so wrong. Haha.

Speaking of company outing, this is gonna be my first summer adventure this year. I initially thought the one at work would happen first (the one I arranged for) but for some reason, it got moved to a later date. Hay, life is really full of surprises.

Another Work Week Ends

Thank God it’s Friday! As cliché as it sounds, I really like it when it’s Friday already. It means the work week ends at 5:00 pm (6:00 pm in my case!), the weekend is just several hours away, and a new adventure awaits me. The adventure could be a relaxing stay at home, a tiring but enjoyable mall trip or an impromptu road trip. Actually, it can be anything that creates happy memories and spells f-u-n.

On a different note, today is a special day in our office as it celebrates its founding anniversary. I heard there will be free packed lunch for everyone and a mass will be held this afternoon. Cool. This doesn’t happen every day so I better take advantage of it. Haha.

Webhosting Trouble

I just found out this morning that a part of this blog’s backup has been lost. I checked this blog’s content and learned that my previous posts starting March 9, 2013 up to yesterday have disappeared. I panicked because I didn’t have a backup of those.

I contacted my webhost provider and he said he did something wrong and was trying to correct it. I knew these things happen so I didn’t make a big deal out of it. I just rewrote everything from memory. Good thing I still have them inside my head, although just the short cut versions.

A Well-Spent Day

Don’t you wish all your days are well-spent? If that is the case, then maybe there are more reasons to be happy about. A well-spent day for me is one where I am not only productive but also doing meaningful things for myself and for the people I love. Or just a plain day spent doing crazy things with the people dearest to me.

Busy or not, the day should be well-spent in such a way that the overall experience becomes so enriching and unforgettable at the same time. Unfortunately, it’s not every day that we get to experience a well-spent day. There are days that are forgettable and there are days that are regrettable. When our attitude becomes sour or goes downhill, or the circumstances surrounding our day become uncontrollable or go for the worse, we are left with very limited options to make our day right.
