Sometimes the best way to take care of the world is to be sure you are taking care of yourself. You are an environmental hazard walking around as a stressed-out time bomb. Learn to recognize your own signs of being overly stressed, and do something about it before it seeps out while driving, at work, or at home. Although it’s great to care for others, it is essential that you make yourself a priority.

FUCK I LOVE THIS SONG, AS MUCH AS SKID ROW'S WASTED TIME!

HOORAY FOR HIGH SCHOOL, CIRCA 1993-1994.
WAHAHA SHET LOLA ALERT.

Lately I can tell that something ain't right
I don't see the fire when I look in your eyes
One time up, and the next time down
This may be the last time that you see me around

Well it sure seems to me nothing matters tonight
And all those things we worked out, they got lost in the fight
It's not enough, girl, that I gave you my soul
I just want to know if we've got anything left at all, and I say

Hold on now, baby,
This could be the last time we stand
This could be the last time that we say good-bye
The picture shatters
I can't find the words to save it
Tell me what to do, how can I make it right
We will always be fire and ice

Well promises made in the heat of the night
You could sure spit them out, girl, but they've long passed me by
Nobody knows about the show you put me through
This could be the last time that I get through to you

Well I can't stand to see no more damage done
But you'll never understand until you suffer some, and I said...

Hold on now, baby,
This could be the last time we stand
This could be the last time that we say good-bye
The picture shatters
I can't find the words to save it
Tell me what to do, how can I make it right
We will always be Fire and Ice.

Since I missed out on my tai chi & kickboxing classes last Saturday morning due to aching knees & puyat, then on my yoga & kickboxing classes last night because of the rain, I'm going to catch up on kickboxing & maybe cosmic cycling later this evening. Hopefully I can keep up with the group schedules from now on, pero mukhang nakakabaliw eh. Pero OK lang din, matagal na pala akong baliw LOL. So...

MONDAY

6:30 PM kickboxing
8:40 PM yoga

TUESDAY

5:25 PM kickboxing

I can also opt for a 6PM kickboxing class but I'm avoiding my trainer like the plague for now HAHA especially after what she did to me last week tangina.

WEDNESDAY

6:00 PM body balance (yoga + pilates + tai chi)

I can go iceskating or step on ellipticals beforehand.

THURSDAY

7:40 PM kickboxing

or,

5:25 PM aero

SATURDAY

8:00 AM tai chi
10:00 AM kickboxing

12:00 NN Nike Rockstar
3:15 PM aero (ahaha)
4:15 PM kickboxing (I could skip this naman)

Fridays are, of course, major rest days, especially this coming 28th. ♥

Please note na for entertainment purposes lang ang kickboxing chuva ko; mukhang di ko pa kayang mangjombag ng tao haha. Daganan ko lang naman siguro kalaban ko eh matetepok agad yon. Remind me to get PowerBars today before proceeding. Oh, & a massage, too. Hooray for gift certificates! Maybe ipagpapabukas ko na lang meetup ko with my trainer, pero pwede rin akong magpakamatay ulit this Saturday.

Dear abbee,
Here is your horoscope
for Sunday, July 23:


You already are a fully lovable being -- you don't have to improve yourself to get the affection you deserve! Remind yourself of that, especially when you start to hear those critical voices in your head.

NGE. But I looked like shit yesterday! Acted like a big (but happy despite missing my tai-chi class that morning) retard as well. I love my yoga pants, though, kahit nababasa ang laylayan sa ulan.

& yeah, I totally own the Fast & the Furious! :D

Just when I thought last Saturday was going to be a huge disaster with all the rain & the lack of confirmation from potential tarot workshoppers — to think I arrived pretty early at our assembly place, hehe — I had fun having too much caffeine in my bloodstream (what else do you expect from hanging out at Starbucks ALONE for 3 hours?) then spiking it all up with a bottle of light beer & a few laughs with some of The Doll House kids (Rai, Diane, Kimberly, Flor, Jeng, Synth) at a cheap videoke joint before hanging out with Deric, Faith, & AJ again at SM Mall of Asia for Superman Returns (when I vowed to myself that I won't be watching that anytime soon, haha, thanks D!) & a bit of window-shopping (since most of the stuff I was looking for wasn't available, how about that?! SA LAKI NG LUGAR AKALAIN MONG WALA NI ISA? haha) & a fantastic dreamy display of fireworks up close (tanginang Tadhana talaga, mapaglaro, eh kasasabi ko lang last week na Life is like a pyrotechnical show at times: better admired & studied from afar). Buti na lang tumila ang ulan kinagabihan.

So I got to talk to Wynzyl for a bit while I was waiting for everyone that afternoon, & I'm happy for Berlynn who managed to see me despite her sprain & fever (thanks for all the videoke tokens LOL), but I wish I could've dropped by this Park Square salon first to get my nails, brows, & my hair done so I wouldn't feel like crap that much especially with the horrible weather earlier that day. Maybe — finally — later today. I also met up with Lexi right after we realized we were kinda freezing in Starbucks LOL. Yeah, so much for surprises. We're definitely under the influence of a Mercury retrograde this season.

So the little things I were looking for weren't available at MoA, like my staple Aqua Mirabilis bars, yellow Stabilo highlighters, & black Uni Pin 0.5 drawing pens (what a dork, I know). BUT I did find an awesome pink knee-length skirt than I can wonderfully pair with my flip-flops & plain tops (preferably black). Too bad I couldn't buy it just yet. :( But maybe I should. HAH. Asa pa. The selections at Fully Booked weren't so hot, but I don't mind. I just went along with Faith who had to look for work/casual clothes + shoes & Cetaphil — shopping with company sometimes makes the hunt easier, but I really have not much patience for it, even if I'm looking for neat finds of my own. I'm a man like that. I always have to decide quick, with a specific thing in mind. I have very little leeway for alternatives. Faith also knows what she wants, but it's frustrating when we just can't fit into the things we fancy.

It's been a while since I've visited my kid sister Candy's grave. I miss her all over again, & I found myself crying while re-reading her last birthday card to me (3 months before she left) & the roses portrait in craypas & felt paper she made especially for yours truly a few years back. I think I should visit her today before making more stupid time for myself. Fuck the rain. I'm always S.A.D.-stricken, ergo miserable in July.

I should remember to get more scented candles, too, & get my health assessment + workout guide this week. If all else fails, there's always tai-chi to look forward to next Saturday. Will I be able to stick to the program, though?

Las Piñas isn't the same anymore. I used to love that place like crazy, & it'd always feel as if I have to anticipate for something (or maybe someone?) there. My parents used to eat a lot at the old Max's down the main road, then kids from my high school would all troop to the old Ever Gotesco mall (before Southmall was put up), & my kid sibs would go with me to iceskate at SM Southmall (with all them cute hockey boys gearing up for practice), if my high school best friends don't drag me there first for a movie or anything. I hate the traffic, though, just about everytime. I'm lucky if I get to Alabang within an hour while commuting through the main road instead of taking the cumbersome shortcut along Imus. I went to Times with my org secretary Lynne when she decided to transfer schools in my 2nd year in college, & I was devastated back then because she was leaving me so soon, thus she wasn't there to share my success with my other endeavors. I remember getting my heart broken first at McDo near RFC, then in the Shell Select convenience store parking lot — all in just one night, & making out like crazy a year after (first time, actually LOL) in some residential area only to be cut short because I got hungry & wanted coffee all of a sudden, haha. I fell for a tall half-Japanese geek guy near that place whom I thought didn't like me back so I tried having a 'girlfriend' for a week. WTF. LOL. (Nominal lang po!) I'd stay up late & drive around with my guy friends there just because — probably to clear our heads. It's safer that way, anyway, than to get piss-drunk & be devoid of any will to continue existing like what I used to do in the late 90's. I miss my kid sister. We loved Alabang just as much, especially the old Gameworx & Italian ice cream booth in Festival Mall. But nothing beats the old days, despite the wonderful combination of the Starbucks & Yellow Cab branches now fronting RFC (my kid sis & I used to match fraps with greasy pizza, & we'd have a whole 10" pan/box each to gobble up LOL), the cleaner Southmall interiors & updated stores, & more reasons to trek all the way to Parañaque. Why do I always have to brood over what's been long gone?
