Transformation and New Beginnings

Posted under General

There is a reason am not blogging as much as I used to. Am too happy. And for no significant reason. I just choose to be and I am. I knew all along that living the life that you want is just a matter of perspective. My internet still sucks, my bills just keep on coming and my mortgage is good for the next 29 years. Instead of wallowing in despair and self pity, I indulge in good things, positive aspects and love. Yes, love. In the general sense of the word. I love myself more. I love my house more. I love my gadgets more. I love my friends more. I love my family more. I love Magnolia more. I love my life more.

It is a year of transformation for me. I will continue living the life that I want. And I decided not to care about the people that don’t really matter. So I will be back to my highly opinionated self. I kept my silence on certain issues for most part of last year hoping that it will just go away because I don’t want to hurt people even if they deserve it. This year, I wouldn’t do that anymore. If you want to piss me off, go ahead and try. I will deliver the truth to you in a silver platter, you would cry learning about it. So beware. If you can’t handle the truth, don’t ask for it.

My detractors will have a field day, in the sense that they will be on their toes scrambling for things to say or glass stories to tell. You can continue to lie, lie, lie. You’re good for nothing anyway. This is your chance to keep your silence or face the consequences. Some people want to learn their lessons the hard way. So I will be nice to you. You will.

Red Devil

Posted under General, Indulgence

My niece Tintin borrowed my nail polish set a couple of months ago for her slumber party. She’s 5. Yes, nail polish for five-year-old kids, ala Gossip Girl. Anyway, she didn’t bother to return it. Good thing I didn’t include the two sets of french manicure or else I would be left with NOTHING. Just the same, french manicure doesn’t appeal to me because I don’t grow my nails long and the color is too pale for my taste. I do all the household chores too so it’s inconvenient to do so.

When I went to the grocery last week, I checked out the beauty corner and saw this red nail polish called RED DEVIL. Normally I would check out what’s available before picking one but well this one appealed to me so much that I didn’t look around anymore. hahahaha.

How do you like the color?
