I have been keeping a journal since I was in high school. When I reached college, I wrote more or let me say, I made more that in later years. I had a hard time which place should I stock those piles. I don’t like the thought anyone going through my journals while I am still alive.

Someone asked me, what’s in your journal? I told her, oh well, they are personal experiences, mostly what my day was or a weekend like or my aspirations. I also recorded some love moments and even the fights and confused moments. I think keeping journal is a healthy habit. It may look weird for some because it makes an introvert person more introvert, but to me, it’s kind of healthy because if there is no one near you, or if one is not comfortable sharing her deepest thoughts, she has the journal to pour out her feelings.

Keeping a journal is not just for girls. There are men who kept one, too. Even great men have journals. Examples of men who kept a journal or diary are Ralph Waldo Emerson, Kurt Cobain, Ronald Reagan, and Captain Cook. These are just some of them. There are or course a lot of women who can add up to this list.

So, if you want to end up like any of them, keep writing! It does not matter if it’s only for your eyes, the important thing is you write about the moments of your life. :-)

I love collecting postcards! That's one hobby of mine. Well, I may not be one to share their enthusiasm but it does bring a delightful feeling getting letters from the mail. And I bet these people spend countless of hours waiting by their mailboxes to check whether a new postcard from Ethiopia or the Philippines has arrived. Maybe they would even consider updating their good old wooden mailbox to one of those Classic Mailboxes or their Gaines Mailboxes, just so they can have a better thing to look at as they expect a mail. Maybe one of them will opt for any of those Keystone Mailboxes available online, it will be a fitting thank you gift for all the goodies their mailboxes are spewing.

I know quite a good number of people who are into swapping postcards with people from different parts of the globe. They are such postcard enthusiasts that they can go on and on about their collection and their rather famous hobby. They would swap with people from as obscure as a little town in India or a very well-distinguished state in America. They also collect different sort of postcards and regard them as their most precious possession.

Obviously I am talking of my mood, "mood swing" as some called this. Seems like I have my monthly visitor, but then how can a pregnant woman have a menstruation? Ha! Okay, I am trying to comfort myself but I am not really in mood of writing. I like writing you know, daily grinds, random thoughts that is worth to share or just want to voice-out. :-) What about you, do you have hobby like what I am doing too? Blogging? Do you like writing what you have in mind? Your daily journey? Your likes and wants. The experiences and about to experience. Your steps into something, this and that? If so, then we share the same area when it comes to that. :-) Are we having fun yet? Of course we are. :-) Even if in times of we want to write something but our mood or our body don't, still that is considered fun. *wink* Don't you think? Well, that is a part of this journey. Sometimes it can be a chore because I also set goals. But then, that's it. I won't force myself if I don't like to, though sometimes I do. :-) Ooh well, as I said it is part of the package. I don't like missing something. This also serves as my source of documenting and a note. For now, I have to sign-off. Will have to see you on the next post. You can also share what are you feeling right now if you feel that makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel good. Go ahead. :-) Have a great day everyone!

I love shoes and I buy them in different styles and color.  Unknown to many, when I buy shoes I make sure that I fall in love with it first.  It is important for me to like and love what shoes I am buying because I will wear it for a long time.  My shoe collection ranges from those stringy sandals, running/walking shoes, formal shoes and even boots!  I am a typical woman after all, who likes different styles and likes to accentuate any outfit with a wonderful and beautiful shoes.

I also learned to love collecting dress shoes.  I used not to wear those pumps but as I see it, I see more people that are drawn to wearing those kind.  I can't blame them as pumps are really eye catching and they can be worn even if you are in a dress or pants.  Needless to say, I got a few pairs of that too.

Being a Filipina, it seems like it is normal for us to collect shoes and purses.  I guess that goes back to being influenced by Imelda Marcos who owns the greatest shoe collection.  Now, if you want to be a shoe collector then, check out Zappos.com.  You can shop at their website and look for shoes on sale.  They have quite a wide collection of shoes that I am sure you will love.

I am dying to wish and hope to get an exercise stuff inside our house. Why such it become my wish? Because it's somewhat like difficult for me to acquire and the explanation is secret as for now.. :-) Okay, I don't want that stuff before since I work my body off mostly everyday but nowadays I am mostly here in the PC doing something, some studying and reading and also some assignments to do and looking forward on going up. I mean you know.. I am mostly on sitting because of stuffs here and there that acquainted more on PC. I don't exercise often, usually I do some brisk walking going downtown (three to five minutes away to where DH and me live) and have some window and little shopping (a great therapy on boredom too at the same you have the exercise). I tell you it also have more on walking part on the store chasing and getting the best on my taste :-). I just hope that I can have one of those ellipticals exercising stuff. For now, it's just a wish but when the plan will move on to move to another house to which we will do after I can have my permanent GC (that we're working these days that will make my mood "no good" everytime there's something going on). I (and my dear behalf) anxious and excited to move in but we will just have to wait. Hopefully with God's permit.

I love receiving postcards. Who doesn't? :-) ... perhaps some just don't but mostly loves receiving it and am one of those. It's pretty nice to receive especially when it comes from different countries or just from friends, families, and some from business partners in the neighborhood. For me, postcards are cool. It creates an idea of good communication and thought of both the receiver and the giver. It is different when you receive a creative unique idea of what the message is all about. Most businesses find a cool way of pleasing their customers, they will send out some postcard. Like if you have a dental appointment or some, they will remind you of either through phone call or sending out one so you won't forget the time and date. It's somewhat like customary already to many of them. You will sometimes surprise that there are advertisements and invitation on your mailbox through such. It's a pretty way of communicating. Well for me, I love it when friends and families send me such and I even becoming it as a hobby like stamp collection, exchanging post cards or buying ones to satisfy my collection stuff. What about you, do you love collecting postcards?

Waaaah! -- is a famous expression when somebody is experiencing frustration, pain, desire, and disturbance. Now, it's just not only expression because I saw that your Waaaah could be expressed not only in words but through art as well. It could be into drawing, printing, painting, and any kind of stuffs which will turn into memorable one. I heard that a website has a lot of choices. It could be into fun, silly, truthful, and insightful idea. All in all it can be located at Waaaah store. So if you have something that you like to print onto your shirt, or just anything you would like to do with waaaah on shoppingm. Lots of choices it has.

Are you a person who enjoys reading books? Then you must be a bookworm. Great authors provides great books, surely it contains a lot of information that is helpful in our daily living. Some readers tends to find author first then the title(or vice versa)before other info when shopping books, somewhat like a movie that watchers tends to know the leading actor/actress first then the the title(count me one of those for the movie watchers who usually wants to know who the leading actor/actress are). Though I like to read books but not most of the time(I guess am not a bookworm). I view bookworm as reading books is ones hobby and it's on their top(number one) hobby. Okay, enjoy reading (~_~) and thanks a bunch for reading in here, hugs!

Piano is one instrument that I would really like to know about. I remember way back last semester(Spring 2009) that I have a cool classmate(we got along much with each other), a piano teacher that offered me to study it, with discount. Though I like it so much but my mind didn't pursue yet to study about it. There were just many tasks to attend to that's why haven't yet enrolled with it. Well that's already a good deal from my classmate but sad to know not yet so far.


Ooh how I wish! There will be a time to study piano lessons especially now that there's a Website that is free and will makes you busy when no work. Remember, it's free so take a look with it for yourself. Read along and sign-up if something you like. Have fun all.. (~_~)
