18 out of 21 days... How am i Doing?

18 out of my supposed 21 days.. how have i been with my goals?

*no rice diet :)

im gonna curse that Hainanese Chicken.. haha.. its my favorite Singapore food.. i can eat it almost every other day.. my staple food when i don't feel like i want other food.. aside from its cheap its really tasty.. so after our shopping date at Saizen, Mommy Cai asked to join her eat dinner.. i planned to just eat Corn Muffins, then when Mom arrived at our table, Hainanese chicken with the condiments nicely put together in the tray with that ginger-y chili smell.. Ais and I got really tempted.. :(

and then im gonna curse the weather too.. hehe.. i wasn't able to help myself from eating goto and champorado.. oohh they're such a treat during rainy days..

and then last night at North Park.. dinner with my college girls.. yes i did consumed a whole cup of rice.. baaaad..

though there are days i could really not eat rice naman.. i could still make pigil and choose non-rice meals.. cguro there are certain food lang.. and portion control..

i therefore conclude.. i can't get rice out of my system.. pero cguro i have to set a rice eating day lng.. or 2 cups a week max??

*stick with a budget of Php 200-250 for meals and transpo a day..

booo i wasn't able to do this too.. though we're doing tipid meals naman na.. its a progress that we're now ordering or planning our food budget carefully na.. but 200-250 is quite hard.. especially with transpo.. i really prefer FX coz of the counterflow during mornings.. and mainit talaga magjeep in the morning.. and i do my makeup sa FX :)

i will admit.. its the taxi when im late that ruins the budget.. 100 php from Medical City to Office to reach 9:15..

* asleep by 1230AM and reach the office by 845

most office nights im asleep by 1230PM.. except for Sat and Sunday nights.. im really making sulit my weekends.. i wasnt able to reach the office by 845 everyday.. there's something about Ortigas Ext traffic and transpo.. that even if i leave home earlier at a 1hr and 45 mins travel time allowance instead of 1 hr.. i still cant make it by 845.. I still arrive at the same time.. during the last 18 days, i still had one late hehe.. khit nagtaxi nko.. hay traffic tlga.. boooooooo... im just saying there are things na i dont have full control of.. i adjusted my alis from home naman na e..

* bawal umulit ng shoes.. :)

im proud coz this is something i was able to keep!! :) though madaya coz i bring slippers pauwi, its hard to commute kc in heels especially if ure sitting at the back of an Adventure/Crosswind na super baba ng seat..

i think im gonna keep on doing this.. keep rotating usage of my shoes..

* bawal mag impulse buy..

hmmm is Saizen shopping considered impulse buy? ndi naman cguro.. haha jinustify.. coz i only bought things i needed there.. and ngthink hard tlga ako why i need them..

I am a Work in Progress: Things that Compose ME - - Moods and Style

life

MOODS

Easy going and up-for-anything. I may not be the life of the party but I am kaladkarin, I could be easily asked to go out to so we could have a good time. If you need company, you're party would never be without a visitor i'm likely to be there.. Mahilig din magorganize at mag plan ng mga drawing na out of towns and get together and i don't stop until our drawings materialize.

Gala or let's just say in a better way - Street Smart. I love travelling. and im planning to explore and be wowed by PH. I love window shopping. I love malling. I love people and crowds. I know how to reach places even if i;ve been there once or twice. I could pass for a taxi driver in terms of roads and shortcuts even if I never had a car before.

Just like my favorite season - SUMMER! I am sunny and Optimistic. I feel like I'm sooo put together that my friends would probably be surprised if they find out that I have problems much like their own dramas.

Sweet and Loving. If I say I love or miss you, or I complemented you.. I MEAN IT! and once you gain my care and trust, i'll fight against the tide for you! that's how I am with friends, relatives and loved ones.

STYLE

Eclectic. I don't limit myself to just one particular look. It jumps from time to time depending on my mood - flirty, feminine, casual, boho, edgy. I'm playful with colors, fabrics and prints.. I love sundresses, florals, ruffles.. There's not a day without me accessorizing.. I'd feel better overdressed that underdressed :) and i want to be always camera-ready or meet-up-ready..
Bargain shopper. I can shop anywhere and everywhere! If i see a new trend, or see a look from another girl, or from a particular brand, I try to put together the same look but search for it in bazaars, dept.stores, thrift stores, and clothing lines that are not hardly advertised yet.

Goin' Designer on Shoes and Bags for Durability. As for shoes, I want style, comfort, durability and affordability. I am currently pleased with Charles and Keith. As for bags, my bags are always full and heavy so it should be durable, I trust Longchamp and Goyard the most! Most of them are with me for more than 4 years already.. isn't that durability?
Style Inspiration. Everywhere! People I see everyday, fashion magazines, online fashion blogs and communities. I used to be very manang when it comes to fashion. Singapore street-style inspires me to start and continue playing with fashion.
Closet Palette. A little bit of everything with a lot of blacks, browns, purples and whites.
Basic Get-up. Dress/long shirts, leggings, heels and CONFIDENCE.

why did I write this.. wala lang.. i still feel lost in terms of my personality haha.. and i want to get to know myself better.. from my own Point of View.. and other people's..

Defining Chemistry.. But it would be complicated..

So your personalities jive.. and then there's chemistry.. but wait how do you define Chemistry? and then i stopped... so I searched all over the net and got these excerpts as I've been trying not to entertain my thoughts and feelings.. and not again will I confuse deep friendship with potential love..

When you think about the qualities found in a true "soul mate" relationship, what one word comes up most often on the top of your list?Is it CHEMISTRY? Probably. Just the mention of this term conjures up powerful feelings and images for anyone who has ever been in or seeking a love relationship. It is often described as a feeling that leaves you breathless, excited and weak in the knees. Palms sweat, the heart races and the body tingles with nervous anticipation. Right? Maybe not. For this definition of chemistry is limited to one's physical response to another person. It lacks an entire dimension that resides in our values, beliefs, personalities and worldview.

How do you define chemistry? I think of it as a strong attraction that includes love, lust, infatuation, and a desire to be involved intimately with someone. Chemistry is emotional desire for relationship.

Kahlil Gibran defines it as "spiritual affinity". It's the hidden element of chemistry. It's when two beings meet and connect on a deeper level. It can only be felt in the heart and soul. It's about friendship, respect, humor and the feelings of warmth and contentment that come when you are in his/her presence.

Physical attraction generally begins during our first contact with someone. It can DEVELOP into something more over time, yet some pull is there from the beginning. The chemical that results from this attraction (and intensifies it) is phenyl ethylamine - or PEA. It is a naturally occurring substance in the brain. Essentially, it is a natural amphetamine. It stimulates us and increases both physical and emotional energy. The attraction causes us to produce more PEA, which results in those dizzying feelings associated with romantic love. Another substance that is released by PEA is dopamine. This chemical increases a desire to be physically close and intimately connected.

When these chemicals are being secreted in larger doses, they send signals from the brain to the other organs of the body. If you wonder why you or someone is attracted to the "wrong" person, it may be because you are high on the physical response to these substances, which overwhelm your ability to use your head and exercise "good judgment and common sense".

"Spiritual affinity" develops over time and repeated contact. When these feelings begin to emerge, the brain produces endorphins. These are more like morphine and result in an increased sense of calm that reduces anxiety and helps to build attachment. As relationships move into this phase they are characterized by more comfort, commitment and friendship.

despite your differences, you know your personalities jive.. it wasn't the same as the other guy friends you had.. there's chemistry.. oh wait maybe not chemistry but its more of spiritual affinity.. I think Kahlil Gibran defined it well.. but you feel mature enough to think this is not yet it.. and its not right as there are lots of factors that would make things very complicated.. so just enjoy the friendship, the smile that comes across when he jokes around, hangs around and talks to you, and the calmness and spiritual healing his presence brings in you..
