Eat Pray Love

Watched Eat Pray Love in HBO. I must say I really love the move. Sad that I didn't watched it in the cinema. But hey, I don't usually watch movies in the cinema.

I should somehow do what Liz did. Travel, eat good food, meet new people, do some soul searching, find one's self and enjoy life.

Next year I'll do some things I don't usually do and try doing things I haven't yet tried. I'll start with meeting new people, eating good food and try to know myself even more.

Music do wonders...

Been editing my post several times. Anyway, the purpose of my post is about music.

I've been listening to Christina Perri's Jar of Hearts for a while now. It's really wonderful. You can feel her emotions flowing, the way she sings and the meaning of the song.

And just earlier, I got this link for one of Adele's performance of Someone like you. It was very emotional. Somehow, I'm liking Adele because of the way she sings and the meaning of the songs. Very emotional and you can really feelthe meaning of the song.

Personality issues...

Got irritated again as usual. It's a full moon today, am I just having the full moon syndrome or just being myself?

My psychiatrist told me that maybe its just my personality. I should try being myself, relax a bit, and try to be outgoing.  My psychiatrist doesn't want to give me some medications as maintenance.  He told me I might abuse and rely on it too much (which personally I might do). Instead he advised me to have some "me time"; watch movies, go shopping, and eat out to release my stress. Yes, I watch movies on my computer, shop online and my occasional eating out.

But the thing is, I really need to go out and get out of my comfort zone from time to time. I wish and hope that next year will be different from before. I'll try to start something new and be more better than before.

List of things I want to do...

You see, years ago (literally years) I have a small piece of paper with a list of things I wanted to do. And guess what, I burned that paper out of frustration, mood swings and a bit of anger. I told myself not to do a bucket list but out of self realization, I need to have a focus and well, make "another" a list. This time, I plan to accomplish all of this, it'll take years. As days, weeks, months and year/s pass by, I'll do my best to accomplish at least one at a time.

Here's the list after self realization and recuperate my interests:
(In no particular order of importance and urgency)

1. Have a master's degree

2. Be an educator (online English teacher to Asians, teach nihongo, be a college professor)

3. Travel alone (international or domestic)

4. Have my hair dyed

5. Have an ear piercing or body piercing (just one will be enough)

6. Write a song which a singer will sing, record and be part of an album

7. Write a story for a novel or a movie

8. Organize an event

9. Join a speed dating event

10. Release a collection of clothes

11. Move to my own place

12. Have work in the marketing department

13. Have my own company

14. Learn how to do sign language

15. Learn how to play the piano

16. Maintain an ideal weight for my height

17. Bungee jump

18. Learn how to bake from scratch

Might have some things to add...

First post...

Way back in college, I started blogging. Used Xanga, Multiply, Blogger and my current blog is livejournal. I'm still keeping my other accounts for the memories that I've put on it. The happy and sad moments in my life.

My livejournal account is focused on my fandom.I decided to make another public blog which I aim to keep and make an entry weekly or monthly. Daily posts might be too tiresome but I'll still try since I'm able to do that.

With regards to my first post, here's some random facts about me:

1. I'm sharing a big room with my 2 older brothers. My friend commented that it's like a boarding house.

2. I don't gain weight despite eating heavy meals. But now I'm trying to gain some weight. Still in the safe zone of being under weight and the ideal weight for my height.

3. I have a liking of eating nibble snacks like peanuts, green peas, water melon seed, squash seed, pistachio and a lot more.

4. I like eating dark chocolate and mint chocolate.

5. I really hate Math but I took up Engineering in college.

6. I'm a bit OCD myself. I have alcohol in an atomizer in my bag, wipe the spoon & fork and the plate before eating in a restaurant. I also fold the used up tissue instead of crumpling it.

7. I sleep with a blanket even if it's summer or hot.

8. I like eating blunt taste foods, hence my liking for Japanese foods. It doesn't have too much flavor.

10. I tired learning how to play the bamboo flute but my breathing is not that good.

11. I wrote several poems during high school but my creative writing lessen during college. Maybe because of technical writing skills took over my creative writing.

12. I tried writing a "novel" or a long story but due to my decreased creative writing skills, I'm having a hard time doing it.

13. I can stay inside the house for the whole day and not going out not even in our backyard or the garage.

14. My moodiness sometimes just kicks in making me annoyed most of the time.

16. I'm a quiet person. I'm not the type who is a conversation starter but I  can cruise thru with the conversation smoothly.

17. I have a habit of saving a file twice. I'm keeping the original then saving it again with another file name, that's why my documents folder is flooding.

18. I don't watch TV that much. I spend most of the time in front of the computer.

19. I'm a person who is hard to please. It's hard for me to like singers and actors.

20. I used to have acrophobia but riding a roller coaster make it disappeared.
