Actually, it's not like I do not know what to write, it's more of I know what to write but I don't think it's proper to write. Especially in this public blog.
Gone are the days where I write with zero f*cks. Must be the thirties. I sometimes go read some youngsters who bare all online and thank God I wasn't an entirely what they call a "digital native". Thank you God my old blog in multiply site was already deleted because, oh Gosh, que horror! I search blogs to read and now I get a little bit frustrated that they are now more of outfit posts. Few years ago, I get embarrassed when one calls me a "blogger" because bloggers now are tagged as "fashion blogger"and there's no fasyon in me.
I search and look for unsponsored posts, personal blogs about thoughts, life learning and winning internal battles, and end up learning more from selected mommy bloggers. I like how moms write, they are honest and feisty (at least those I frequently read), but only certain topics I can relate to.
Anyhoo, this is me blabbing again. I actually have an article that I am editing since last year but I've been waiting for my mojo and ended up doing something else. Like type this post right now.
I know new year's resolutions are so year 2000, but in an attempt to jolt me back in reality, I am writing this down... well at least 5 of them I want to share in this blog.
1. Listen more. - I learn a lot when I listen.
2. Avoid Book sales and make time to read. - I have a ton of chicklit books that I have accumulated through the years and it would be a waste to not get to read them.
3. Avoid waste. - (For sample, see #2) For starters, I have started giving away unused make ups that were given to me as a gift.
4. Hold your tongue. - Sometimes, I get into trouble for telling the truth, and I still tell the truth because it shows on my face,anyway. But this year, I'm going to hold my tongue. You can assume, reflect, study every movement of my facial muscle but it's not going to come out of my mouth. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
5. Make more moves and less announcements. - I got this from the instagram post of one of my favorite Editor in Chief of Cosmopolitan Magazine in the Philippines. My sister and I actually started this since last year. It is true that when you are sooo busy being productive, you have less time minding other people's business.
