Forgive my absence, I have to admit that its been a while since I last posted. Aside from being caught up (and a tad behind) school work etc., the year has been kicking start pretty well. I am really the type of people that don't believe in new year resolutions because, c'mon they always end up getting abandoned. Although my resolution wasn't really official, my main goal is to be fit & try to be healthier in terms of eating habits (goodbye midnight junk food cravings...). Surprisingly, I've felt more active and 'healthy' (is that a feeling?) than ever before. Honestly, I was never that super active kid throughout the elementary years, and as I grew up, I was dragged into playing volleyball & badminton with my some friends. One of the main reason that kept me from being active back in the days, was because I absolutely HATED being sweaty & stinky after training. And as much as I hate to admit it, I did stink (just a teeny bit), but the problem was once I sweat, it meant that I had to automatically say bye-bye to my white school blouses (UGH.) It just bugged me so much that I would always be wearing something over my whites - despite the hot weather - to cover up possible sweat stains. Being active was definitely a no-no for me. Recently I've been back to playing weekly recreational badminton with a small group of friends, not only am I back on the 'fit' track, I no longer have sweat stains & those nasty wax marks on my shirts. And I'll tell you why in jussst a sec !
I don't think I've mentioned that I am now an official Bzzagent! What that means is, I am an 'agent' a part of a word-of-mouth company. I am invited into campaigns to try products (for free) and to share my experience amongst my friends, family, etc. So here, I am sharing with you my near life changing experience with regards to my no longer sweaty pits (excuse my TMI). Some of you may feel uncomfortable talking about this topic, but hey ! it's an issue that we deal with everyday & its should be resolved ! My recent experience with the Secret Outlast Clear Gel deodorant has been amazing ! Although its a gel deodorant, which tends to last for a shorter period of time, it's definitely worth the money to buy more ! I got the ooh-la-la lavender scented one for free via Bzzagent, and loved everything about it (except the lavender scent haha). As soon as I finished it, I went to the store to buy a non-scented one, and bam ! LOVED IT ! Not only does it last throughout the day, I've come to realize that the white marks that wax deodorants usually leave aren't even there ! This is definitely one of the biggest benefits of using Secret Outlast as I am no longer afraid of exercising in white shirts ! This my friend, is really a #gamechanger moment.

Its been hmm...quite a few days since I last posted (whoops). I would've literally forgotten all about blogging if I hadn't just stop, and think of what I've been up to lately. I mean, I have quite the 'to do' list beside me right now, but hey, taking time to reflect is really a key part of life. Whether it is reminiscing the past, or thinking about the future (perhaps, even tomorrow), is like meditating - its...forgive my word choice, but its calming, enjoyable, and even relaxing. Hint of the day, I would recommend you whomever you are (if there is anyone who actually reads my blog), to STOP, stop whatever you're doing, and think, just sit down, and think. Think of what you did today, embarrassing moments? happy moments? regretful moments? anything ! Clear your mind, lift of the stress, and when you're done, proceed to what you were doing, feel the difference and have a fabulous day !

As I wash the pan that I made breakfast with today, a sudden thought, or quote of the day, popped up in my mind in light of my recent struggles.
"those who don't care, will never get hurt"
This is true, is it not? Yes, and no, but for the most part, it is undoubtably a debatable subject. Well there goes my little blurb about my morning thoughts. Aside from that, it is the second day of school, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, but am still barely caught up everything. Wish me luck as I start to power through tonight's whomping thirty page light reading !

It's the day before school officially starts (JOY) well, not really, but it doesn't bother me as much nowadays, I kind of think I'm actually getting old. Reality is, I love what I'm currently studying in, and is quite ecstatic to finish my degree, and move on to my future endeavours. So... life goals, here we go with the list:
#leave home. This one, this one's a bit more special to me. I've literally been wishing since I was probably sixteen to move out once I turned eighteen, clearly, I am still living in my parent's house (which is quite normal at this age) but more feasibly, it'll most likely happen within two years of uni graduation. There's more behind this story, but let's stay on point shall we?
#europe trip. More precisely, museum hunting, but I mean, isn't that everyone's life goal?
#dream car. Everybody has a dream car(s), mine happens to be within the hipster range - it's along the lines of an Austin Mini Cooper, Nissan Pao, or a Nissan Figaro. Look 'em up, agree within me here, they're gorgeous.
Well, the list stops here (for now), but I'll definitely be back. As for the story to dream number one, guess that'll have to wait till next time.
I wish you all (whomever you may be), a great start to the new semester. ta-ta !

Welcome to the (maybe) fabulous year of 2015.
I realized that this is officially the third blog that I have started (and yet to abandon) with Blogger, shame really. But heres the story to that, every new years, I don't exactly make precise 'New Years resolutions' but somehow, I always end up starting a blog to:
a. share my travel stories (but I don't travel much, and is too lazy to import pics)
b. rant about my whole life story - trust me, I don't even want to look back at it
c. well here I am again, trying just to run an everyday blog about... well me !
Honestly, I live quite the boring life. I mean, nothing big (or super exciting) really happens around me. I'll actually clarify that I'm quiet, but not antisocial, and like to chill with los padres (minus the sibling), I mean, family time above amigo time right? At this point, I'm not sure, thats why I decided to startup this blog (that no one will really read). Anyways, it really just space for me to express myself whether it's happy or sad moments in life. I guess keeping this blog up and running has become my New Years resolution (once again).
p.s. don't expect a load of pictures up here (i'm bloody lazy, sorry)
Cheers to 2015,
S.
