Let me see your own list!

this is the 2011 girl

Everything can be found on the net. Nothing, absolutely nothing, escapes it. Somewhere, even in a decrepit room in the darkest alley of an obscure city, someone is writing an article. And, together with all the others like me who think that their blog must contain a new year's entry, whatever comes out from a few clicks on the keyboard ends up on the screen of the rest of the world.

Everything can be found on the net. And if you cannot in your pretty life think of what resolutions you should tackle this year 2011, the web has the answers for you. There is even a ranking of resolutions and among the top ten, I hit five. Which are -

1. Learn Something New.
2. Get Organized.
3. Enjoy Life More.
4. Tame the Bulge.
5. Fit in Fitness.

That's why I have this fresh shot with the treadmill. Smile. It's the closest I could get to using it.


On how to fulfill those resolutions, the web will still have the answers. I'm sure.

list #01 of harry and hangers

Though I've never indulged in them yet, I love lists. Just like the way I love to make sure that the spaces on the left side and the right side of a book laid down on a table are equal.

The bedroom of Nika and Gela is the best way to start my list mania. They've left for school, and without argue, they also left a trail behind them. Scattered together with the sheets and pillows on the still unmade beds, sprawled on the floor carpet, under the side tables, in a jumble on top of these side tables, taped on the wall, and hanging from the cabinet handles.

What can I say -
this bedroom bedlam is a fantastic way to start a list series!

things i discovered i love doing

Alright, getting selected to be the Vice President in the running ticket and making speeches is the top thing that any woman could be doing, but for the past two months, I have discovered other interesting things that are also important little gems by themselves.

10. mixing together 1 part of milk powder and 1 part of white sugar and then eating it by scoops and in little servings

9. putting on working gloves and trimming grown plants.. just pruning and clipping away those branches..

8. stepping on the gas and rolling smoothly in that curve.. handling the brake with exact precision..

7. fluffing the pillows and folding the blankets.. aligning the bed covers that they will fall equally in both sides

6. serving vanilla ice cream ala Mom.. in a tall glass with strawberry syrup, marshmallow bits and cookies

5. taking a sip of hot Twinings' Passion Fruit, Mango & Orange Flavoured Black Tea before going to bed

4. visiting the Xavier University Museum.. reading their old books and smelling the patina of their old walls

3. starting to study photography.. wooing the elusive factors to make that magnificent shot worthy of display

2. waking up at least thrice a night to check on and apply baby powder on Gela, Nika, and of course, Mike

1. procrastinating those stuff that I really must be doing.. jogging and losing the flab, writing, and bringing in the bucks

But how much would I pay for the time my daughters would help me clean the car? It's a priceless noisy wet party I wouldn't miss!

the girl in the looking-glass

5. Divinely beautiful, dazzlingly clever, angelically good

Who am I when no one is watching?

4. A self-confessed schizophrenic
5. An insecure snob (this is an oxymoron at its best)
