Hello October! {Update + Goals} — October Blogging Challenge Day 1

October is my favorite month, and that makes today a happy day. What's not to love really— the beautiful weather, the fall colors, delicious food, hot beverages, cozy clothes, three paydays, Pumpkin bread, Halloween, and also my birthday. So, as this beautiful month begins, here's a little update on this day:

Feeling: sleepy and tired.. Where's the weekend?

Loving: the progress I am making with my fitness goals— it's still slow but it's something.

Reading: nothing— too swamped these days; gotta change that— any suggestions?

Wanting: the new iPhone— 'coz Live photos!

Dreaming: that I am sleeping and dreaming.. it's like inception

Having: Banana blueberry oatmeal

Waiting: for the weekend so I can sleep.

Also, for this month, I have also joined the October Blogging Challenge, where I'll be writing something every day of the month! I am kinda scared because my schedule is busy and also there's a weekend away so I'm not sure how I'll manage that, but I want to do it so starting it today.

Check it out here: October Blogging Challenge. And Day 1 is my October Goals:

1. Blogging: My goal for this month is to keep up with this challenge, and also take my Facebook page to 1000+ followers. Share some love here: Here I scribble

2. Work: I want to stop slacking in the mornings and getting to work late. I want to be more disciplined and perform better.

3. Fitness: I want to stick to my diet, and be consistent with my workouts with a minimal number of cheat days. Birthdays are exception, right?

How about you scribblers?
What are your goals?

I am thankful for

1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back. 2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others. 3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch. 4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...

Transient Tuesdays: Don’t Be Afraid of Change

There are two types of people: those who fear change and those who actively pursue. I have always been an active pursuer of change, while my brother was not. I was the kid who changed my after school activity until I found what I really loved, with no fear at all. I was the one who changed my hair in middle school, who became a leader in a club during my freshmen year of high school, and who insisted on touring the country at 17. Change is a choice, and is an active endeavor. And so is not changing. We decide the direction our lives take, and we can either do so with fear or with confidence. Making changes keeps life the way you want it, on the track you wish to take, and is completely you’re choice what to do, or not do. Change shouldn't scare you, because it’s a tool to help you make your life just the way you want. Although staying where you are is comforting, change can make you grow and improve your situation. So go change your hair, your job, your city, or w...

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked. Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...
