cher’s scribbles

You should see my bookshelf. It’s stuffed with books I haven’t read yet. Most of them are in a series. I love collecting them, I just can’t find the time to read them. I usually read on my bed but because sometimes I’m so tired, I get to read only a page and then go right to sleep. I want to buy more books but now I have to restrain myself. I promise that I’ll not buy a new book unless I’ve gone through the ones I already own, and boy I know that’s going to be a long time.

Being an interior designer, I would love to have the chance to be able to design a place that I call my own. As of now, I’m still living with my parents. It’s usually the practice here that the kids leave home when they marry. Well, I think I’m still not going to get married. Hahaha sadly I’m still single. But I do want to get my own place though. I don’t need a big place yet because it will be just me and my dog. I still have financial assessments to do but hopefully when I get enough budget, I’ll be able to rent my own place and be able to furnish it. This goal isn’t going to be easy because I’m still paying off my car. But who knows, a big project might come my way and I’ll be able to afford paying the rent. That would be really nice.

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
-Steve Jobs

Lately my life has been in the dumps. I feel like I’m losing control. Mainly because I have been faced with bad decisions and things haven’t really been going the way I’ve planned. But that’s life right? I have to be prepared for whatever it wants to throw at me. When I stumble, I need to get back up again. Whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. Well I want to be able to live my life not because of resentment or just because I want to prove something to myself and to everyone else. I want to live my life because it’s worth living. Whatever I do, I affect everyone else I come in contact with and I want that to be good. I want be able to express passion in my life and in everything that I do so that I may continually inspire people around me. First thing I’ll do is retain some optimism.

I’ve already inquired about guitar lessons last week. I have yet to ask around for yoga classes. I’m trying to choose between the two or if my schedule permits I’ll be able to enroll in both. I’ve been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for a long time now. The classic guitar here at home is just gathering dust behind the door. I’ve been told it’s a good guitar. So I figured why let it go to waste.
Me wanting to enroll in yoga is backed up by the desire to feel at peace with myself and to be able to do something for my body of course. I have tried yoga before but I want to advance to another type, one that would increase my body’s flexibility more.
Well, I hope I’ll be able to squeeze in these classes during the weekends or after work. I really have a tight work schedule after all but it would be great to be doing something extra as well.
