Things to remind myself as I live my days....

I've admit I haven't been a good blogger. Only write an entry whenever I feel like it. But hey, there are no rules to blogging, so forgive me to those who were patient to wait for my entries and do take the time to read it. And thank you for your concern to check by once a while. :)

I just started my Fall semester. It is my last 2 semesters as an undergraduate. I need to treasure my time in school while I can before I face the question of, WHAT NOW?

Just a few things that I realized I have to focus in life:

1) Be careful with my expenditure and always know where my money is and where they are going. 2 trips to DBS in Singapore and reading a book on investing made me more aware of the importance of $$$$$$.

2) Read editorials - newspapers, magazines, online blogs on a regular basis in order to be well informed. Sometimes, it is a bless to be living as an ignorant, but other times.....NOT!

3) Hand write letters if possible and develop the habit of pinning down thoughts....it will help me grow as an articulate and confident writer.

4) Never procrastinate. Plan things ahead of time. Procrastinating waste energy and time. and I have limited resources on both of them...

5) Be present. I live once and it will be well-lived if I lived it in the moment. It helps me to be appreciative of the things and people around me.

6) Always view consequences ahead of actions. A great example would be me wiping out my sister's hard-drive when she told me specifically not to click on "that button". both her and I had to go through emotional turmoil. Finally, we spent a bomb, technically, I am going to spend the bomb ($$$$$$$) and managed to retrieve 100%. I want to thank Kiran and Dean for their input in getting information on places and software that could help. Therefore, before i do anything..."press that button" i need to reconsider the consequences.

7) Eat healthly and exercise 3-4 times, 1-1/2 hours each per week.

8) Be humble and talk less. Listen more. I'll gain more that way.

Penny of your thoughts?

long awaited entry.....

I was prompted by Peter to start blogging again. Blogging requires discipline, just like everything else - managing my accounts/finance, starting projects, educating myself.....touching base with friends...:)

I just finish my final exam - Mythology class. One of the final lectures was talking about conquering one's inner shadow. All of us have bad habits that we disown and hide it deep within us. It takes courage and strength to tap into it and challenge it. I have a pile of such on my dark side. I can't do this journey on my own, i need somebody to be with me, just in case i go too deep into the abyss and can't get out. Who will help?

I was at the chiropractor yesterday and was reading an article on how to handle stress. The number 1 way to cope with stress is to EXERCISE. I've been swimming 1-2 times a week, spinning classes once a week (though i miss this week due to final exam)...and hardly work out at the gym at all. I need to be more strict about getting an hour worth of adrenaline every day.
Number 2, journaling. The physical action of writing down one's emotions and thoughts helps to drain the bad "qi" out of one's body. I thought it made sense, i prefer writing than "talking to somebody". But i'm not about elevating my mood by blogging it here in public. I can be quite private with my own feelings.
