I found this photo of a lovely foyer in an Italian mansion. There are houses Italian in style at a nearby subdivision. I don’t like all the designs but I do love the feel of the houses. It’s so old, elegant and rich in culture.

I am not an architect or an engineer. I don’t know the different architectural designs or the technicalities of looking at a structure. But I do know how to appreciate a beautiful architecture or simply a house. I do love looking at beautiful houses. I would often ask the cab driver to slow down a bit when passing rows of beautiful houses because I commit the design to mind.

You know, if and when I have enough money already to have a house built for me and the family…

I hate when I get angry. I really lose my shiz when I do. I get so mad and I would say things I normally wouldn’t say to the person. All because I get really so bummed up when I am angry.

And then I’d feel bad after.

I normally get angry real fast when I am nagged about something. If I say wait, let me and I will do things my way. Don’t nag me about doing things fast. I hate that! If I also say that I don’t want to be bothered, don’t. Or you’d end up with blistered ears! I really don’t like people around me nagging, whining, and bothersome.

We’re cool if you let me do my thing and then wait for me to acknowledge you.

I just got angry and now my head is aching real bad. I hate it!

If you have been reading this blog, you know that I am a big city girl. But this big city girl is also longing for some time away from the city. There are days when I feel like going somewhere, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Like the place in the photo. I want to be in a house with a veranda overlooking the sea. That would be really cool! Or a house near the beach where you can go out and walk on the sand.

Wishful thinking for now as I don’t have the budget to go outside the city.

When I was a little kid, my mom hired a piano teacher to teach me how to play the piano. I would go to my cousins’ house to meet my teacher there who was also their teacher. We didn’t have a piano at home so I had to share one with my cousins.

Back in those days, a piano at home was a status symbol. It meant that you are a rich family. I knew my mom was secretly dreaming of having one at home, too. But we couldn’t afford it so we had to content ourselves with the one at the cousin’s place.

Now that I can afford to buy a piano, my mom’s not here anymore. It just saddens me when I see something and it reminds me that my mom used to dream of that but I couldn’t buy her one.

I have been gathering ideas for my condo unit. I have plans of buying one this year. A condo unit where I can stay at with a sibling or two.

Lovely dining area, don’t you think? It is so fresh-looking and clean. Just the way I want my dining area to be. And the sunshine looks to be kissing the walls and furniture. Just the way I love it.

I love some peace and quiet. I want tranquility. I want a place where I can hear myself think. Don’t you just want to have a corner like this at home?

I certainly do!

I don’t know if it will push through, our plans of moving. But when we do, I will make sure that my corner at home will be a source of inspiration to me. And a place where thinking can be done easily.

A big city girl like me often craves for some time away from the city. A big place like the city can swallow up a person like me. I love to be away even for a while to reassert myself and to make sure I would not be lost in the fast pace of the city life.

A place like the photo above is a perfect getaway destination for me. What about yours?

This coming 2010, I will make sure that I work doubly hard, and party harder! I am more about a fun and healthy lifestyle for the year to come. I have resolved to stop being passive and lethargic all the time. I will do everything in my power to change the lifestyle I am used to.

More about being active and healthy!

I know I can do this as long as I focus. If I have to remind myself every single minute to be healthy, then I will! At the end of the day, I want it all to be fun, too.

It’s so hard to be sick while worrying about the tons of tasks you still have to do. I have been sick for weeks! I think the unhealthy lifestyle caught up with me and my body gave in. I haven’t been sick this long. I would like to think that this is a wake-up call for me to ditch the unhealthy food and adopt the healthy ones.

Yes, no more sugar for me! Rice will be limited. There will be more cut backs from my food intake. I need this lest I get the diabetes I am dreading. Or worse, cancer

Rushing to work daily can be exhausting. Especially when you have to ride the metro railway to work. It’s always jampacked and people rushing to work like you are sweating buckets.

Truth to tell, I hate rushing to work. Most times, you can’t help but do that like when you wake up late or you encountered a traffic jam along the way. If there’s only a way for me to stop rushing to work, I would’ve done that already. I am a nocturnal person. It is hard for me to sleep before 11 in the evening. So you can imagine how hard it is for me to wake up at 5 in the morning the next day. Most days, I even get my shuteye around 1 in the morning…

It’s just too hard to manage my time!

I know that there will come a time that I will be able to say thank you for the opportunity to rush to work. For now, let me just rant about it
