I was tagged by Mae to count my blessings. I used to count but I stopped. When was the last time? I could no longer remember. I was so preoccupied and busy worrying that I fail to realize that there are more good things in this world.

Hookay, so let’s start counting… I am thankful that I am blessed with:

• Broad and open mind. It helps me cope with the existing realities and understand individual differences as well.
• People who understands. Those who are still willing to share, listen, accept, talk and love inspite and despite of my shortcomings, insecurities & bratness (minsan haha…)
• The gift of birthday.
• Skills and talent. Which aids me to work and earn for a living.
• Family, lovers, friends and fans (as if). They are my source of love, hope, strength and inspiration.
• The love of God. I may not know His reasons and purpose but I know I’ll be fine in the end.

There you go. Now, I’m tagging Alwell, Jedi and Apple.

There’s something about 15th of the month that I don’t like. And it spells p-a-y-a-b-l-e-s. Hoowwell, I guess I just have to bear in mind that — at least I am capable to pay, right?

Life is tough if you are a breadwinner. You have to consider the rental fees, electric bills, water bills, mineral water bills, and all the bills in the world before you decide to buy the shoes that you have dreamed of.

This domain is about to expire and yes it’s another bill again. Good thing, I earned a lil from Blog to Profit. It’s enough to cover the domain’s renewal and Newmaria’s hosting fees as well.

Unlike last year, 2007 is kinda unlucky for some freelance stuff. Though, I must admit I chose to bum around lately hehe…having all the QLC and whatnots makes me just want to sleep and sleep. And yes, there’s no money in sleeping.

The fact that the half of my income goes to tax pains a lot. It sucks big time. Where does tax go? Aah, yeah ok it’s in the expressways, overpass, city halls, government budgets (?), etc. Yada, yada. Which reminds me of what had happened awhile ago. I went to Pasig post office to claim a parcel (a Moleskine sketchpad from Pinoycentric.com). I decided to use my 1 hour lunch break just to find the government empoyees having their long looong break. I was so pissed. The sign says: 8:00 AM to 11:00AM, and 1:00PM-3:00PM. They already have the 2 hours break and yet they’re still goin home early? Whathe! While waiting, I can see the employees inside walking, bummin around, laughing… Hah. I need ice cream for this. Stress, stress – go away! (I consumed a pint of ice cream afterwards, shhh…)

And, I’m overjoyed.
