The art of procrastinating

Procrastination is an art. Yes it is. It is the art of not boring yourself when you're at work. It is the art of not stressing yourself out over something really important and due soon. Like right now, I am procrastinating and it's a masterpiece. 

Been a while since I updated my blog and I feel like the last time I updated it was last year. Oh well. I am so annoyed that I don’t put pictures in my blog entry, it looks dead and boring. My Blackberry is not really a device that takes good picture and there’s no point in uploading ugly pictures. I want and Iphone4S and I really do hope that my application does not get rejected.

Anyway, have you ever felt that you have so many things to do, deadlines to meet, and at the end of the day you weren’t able to anything because you were contemplating on how you’re going to do all those things? So at the end of the day, you end up doing nothing, and your work just keeps on piling up. I’ve been in that situation since last week. I have 8 industries to study, 2 weeks to do it, and I haven’t really started yet.

To cheer me up, I am making a birthday wish list even if my birthday is 3 months from now. It doesn’t even belong the 1st quarter of the year.

Wish list:

Savings

Engagement Ring (because I want to be a fiancee) 

LV NeverFull PM (because every woman needs a big and signature bag)

Iphone 4S (The perfect gadget. Plus it's the last product that Steve Jobs laid his hands on)

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea

Estee Lauder Pleasures (My favorite scent)

Sephora Deluxe Anti-Bacterial Brush Set

Ok. This wish list is not yet final. I might add something but it is also likely that this is the priority list. 

Oh well, I need to get back to work now. 

Till next post :)

To a better year :)

I am sure that I started the year right. I welcomed 2012 with Paulo, then after that we went to Leigh’s place with Allan and welcomed the first sunrise of the year. We did the traditional predictions activity and I think this time we got confused between predictions and goals. Hahaha. I and my friends shared our first meal of the year together at Pancake House.

The barkada goals for 2012 are kinda expensive. Here’s a list:
Ø  Go to the following places:
o   Anawangin, Boracay, Palawan, or Cebu
o   Bangkok or HongKong
o   Hangout with the rest of the friends that we haven’t communicated for a while
o   Do sports activities (competitive badminton, competitive Frisbee, etc.)
o   Join a fun run
o   Re-instate the rotating monthly restaurant thing

There are also individual predictions. I will edit the stuff that I will be listing because some of it are inside jokes and it’s not meant to be seen by others. Hahaha

Predictions 2012:

Allan:
Ø  Pass the CFA
Ø  Will go clubbing once a month
Ø  Will be drunk on his sister’s wedding
Ø  Win in the casino
Ø  Buy stocks in mining (Philex or Lepanto)

Leigh:
Ø  Will be a guest in Showtime
Ø  Will have a full time work by February
Ø  Will achieve her weight loss goal by April (150lbs)
Ø  Will have significant savings by the end of 2012. (50K)

Paulo:
Ø  Will propose by 2012
Ø  Will have a car by 2012
Ø  Will continue studies
Ø  Will gain muscles
Ø  Will hug Leo while drunk
Ø  Get drunk and dance bad romance or hairspray

Marianne:
Ø  Invest in the stock market
Ø  Stay in First Philec
Ø  Participate in a CosPlay
Ø  Start planning for a wedding

I find it quite funny that all our individual predictions/goals consist of us investing or saving up while our barkada goal is kinda costly. Haha.

Let us see what 2012 has in store for all of us.

It is all about perspective.

Happy New Year everyone!
