Day 13 – Something you’ve been putting off

I can already envision writing this entry to be hard-hitting, at the same time therapeutic, I guess, but it’s the type that I’m quite ashamed to tackle. The double F’s: finance & future. I’ve been meaning to be really good with money this year, yet I’m still failing at it. My goal for 2014 was supposed to get an insurance plan for myself and invest.. but 8 months in and that hasn’t happened yet. I have a few more months left to fulfill that goal and I hope and pray to the heavens that I get it started. It’s not easy being in your 20s and have cash flow. I work hard but I spend hard. I do admit I have shopaholic tendencies but I need to remind myself that I am no Rebecca Bloomwood and no finance honcho/hottie is going to save me out of my money woes should that time come (GOD FORBID). The only good thing from all this is that, I spend my money and no one else’s (cue “I don’t …

Day 12 – Share: Your bucket list

I don’t have a particular bucket list yet. What I know is that I want to travel Greece, Italy, Hawaii the most and I want to see John Mayer and Kanye West (don’t judge) and Justin Timberlake perform live the most. I would like to try bungee jumping and skydiving but if you asked me which one I prefer I think I’d go with bungee jumping as long as my legs aren’t the the ones that are being tied together! Of course, I’d like to travel the Philippines as much as I can. I think there is so much to discover still.

Day 9 – What’s in your purse/bag?

It took me a while to do this entry because I wanted to use my SLR to take this photo, but I find out that someone inserted the battery the other way around (WOW) and now it’s stuck and won’t turn on. Jeez. How do I get that fixed? I’ve tried a few things but I don’t want to force it out because the camera might break, so I used my iPhone instead. Anyway, to the point!

Day 8 – Tell me: Currently reading anything?

In terms of a book, I’m not reading anything right now. I’m waiting for Haruki Murakami’s new book that comes out this month, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, so I’m reading articles/early reviews about it on Slate, NY Times, Newsweek and The Guardian. I think I’m ready for some bind boggling outlook on life and everything that surrounds it, not to mention quirky characters that Murakami seems to be fond of creating in his stories. I’m also reading, wait, catching up on Hollywood news because it seems like I’ve been so off the wagon this year. I didn’t even know Nikki Reed is now with Ian Somerhalder, I seriously thought she was still with her American Idol husband and Ariana Grande broke up with that The Wanted guy. I thought I knew these things. Shows how much my priorities have changed and shifted. I used to be all over this shit. Quiz me before, and I’d know the menial things about these peoples’ (celebrities’ as a whole) lives. It was so irrelevant …
