i'm tired of being blue almost always...but as they say, when you're in the bottom, there's no way for you to go but up.
starting today, i will slowly pick up my pieces, and i will make a gigantic effort in putting myself back on track. my mantras for the rest of the year will be: a) i will be a "superstar phenomenon" (however you take that), and b) i will have a LIFE.
it's funny that an important, but nonetheless, a totally irrelevant-to-my-life event can put me in such a warrior/survival-like mode. in a few hours, i will be voting for the future leaders of my country, and making my list of candidates has motivated me to do a mental list of what i should do to get me out of the doldrums. my to-do list is daunting...and i can't help but cringe whenever i imagine myself undergoing my demon challenges. but i'm at a point right now where i desperately need change, and the only person who can do that for me is myself.
so cheers to a peaceful elections later on and to a better, stronger me in the near future...
change is good.

the list
as long as i can remember, i have loved making lists for almost everything. i have my to-do list, my christmas gift list, a book list (which is further divided into a to-read list and a must-buy list), a movie list, a travel list, and so on and so forth.
to prep myself up for the start of a looong series of regular work weeks, i have made the following forget-me-not list for the week ahead:
sometimes, i seriously think that my life would crumble if i were to be deprived of my lists. i can be spontaneous and go through a day without having anything planned at all, but that would have to be noted as an "anything goes" entry in my to-do list for the week. talk about being anal.
oh, i forgot to mention that updating this blog was also part of my to-do list for the day.
