Note to my 23-year-old-self



I started this post through narrating the crap I put into my life. I was about to finish the 2nd paragraph when I realized... Here I am again, recounting my downfall. It's as if I cry for sympathy. Lol! Hence, I raped backspace key for revision. Haha!

Since I just turned 23 last month, I want to collect more good vibes. Also, I realized that frequent discussion of your misfortune and mistakes may plunge you deeper into the hole. Thus, I need to do some decluttering in my life.

I made a list of things I need to do so as to gain life betterment. Here they are:

1.) Nuff with virtual drama
A bit of explanation is stated above. I've been posting about my bitterness on twitter, IG, plurk, and blogspot. I should minimize doing such. I will not completely stop this virtual sharing, especially on this page you are currently at. As you may know, blogging gives me relief. I think, if I were to share, it should be something that could inspire others. If I were to express, it should be something that would not hurt others.

2.) Productive
When I was still jobless, I was just staying at home and was doing chores. Proud to say I had been doing laundry and ironing. T'was tough, you know! Haha! Presently, I work at the office from 9 am to 6 pm. I am unable to help my mom with it. When I get home, it is either I take a nap or play Clash of Clans. Lol! I need to lessen the time I spend on unnecessary naps and mobile games. Do the chores and run errands as soon as possible. Also, I must bake and juice again.

3.) Healthy lifestyle
Juicing, exercising, and consuming healthy food have been ditched by yours truly. Body toning becomes harder as one gets older. I am planning to be fit again. Reduce munching too much sweets and fries, plus perform some exercises. However, I doubt that I will be consistent with this, especially when mom loaded a basin with packs of M&M's

4.) Negative people
People with a bucketful of negativity are pervasive and contagious. I, being a prophet of doom, easily gets influenced by them. Some of them wear very charming masks but their hearts have bad intention towards you. Some appear to be extending their hands, but their unconscious minds want to prove something on your face. Moreover, people who do not want me in their lives must be out of mine too. Giving them freedom will set me free.

5.) Frugality
Since I am now employed, I should be mindful of the future in spending moolah. No more binge shopping. If I am to indulge myself, imma make it grand but has to be done once a year only.

6.) Groom yourself
Onlookers think I am beauty-conscious, but my family and close friends know how simple I could be. Seldom do I groom myself. Comb the hair, apply powder and wear pink lipstick - my oh-so-quick routine before going out. I swear, I do not know how to put on my make up. I always end up caking my face with it. Being presentable is a must for a 23-year-old lady. Thus, I shall exert more effort in learning of make up application.

7.) Stay Connected
For the past months, I've been busy with random stuffs. I ignored my FB messages. I forgot to say hi to my college and high school friends, nor did I even bother to visit their FB wall to get updates. I will try to read all my unopened messages and respond. I will try collecting my super friends' mobile numbers again. Hihi!

8.) Optimism
One thing I hate about myself is being a pessimist, to the point where my self-esteem reaches the ground. I've been battling with pessimism. I hope I can win in the battlefield.

9.) Pursue my dream
I posted on my other blog before that I have one last dream. My life has been a roller coaster lately. I want some changes. I want improvement. I may not be successful in achieving my dream, but I know I could obtain the changes and improvement I want during the whole process.

10.) Pray More
I do not forget God. He is always in my mind and heart. I just want to talk to him more.

So, these are the 10 things... or I should say my 10 goals after turning 23. I am praying and hoping that I won't need to celebrate another birthday to accomplish them. Lazim!
