fire-breathing

Nah. Kidding. I'm no pyromaniac nor an arsonist. I have no talent. My mom calls me a "jack of all trades" and a "master of none" for the fact that I know how to play some instruments yet I'm no master of any. True. I easily get bored with stuff.

Just Like A Star
by Corinne Bailey Rae

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honor to love you

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Of...
Your love,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Now I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

AHHH. Too lazy to blog about it.

• I learned a lot of things in Hong Kong and Macau.
• I shouldn't be dependent on my friends anymore.
• Daydreaming is a sign of unhappiness.
• How to hold chopsticks the right way.

Day 27 - A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

December 2009

October 2010

Nowadays, people tell me I've changed but I think I'm no different last year. However, if I compare myself to me 2 years ago, then I can say, YEAH I've changed a lot. Of course, I've met new people, I have had new experiences and new things as well so probably those would change me.

• I wear more make-up now. Okay to be specific, I'm better at putting cosmetics now. (Thanks Michelle Phan)
• I have a boyfriend now.
• I don't ask money from my mother that much anymore. I'm earning more compared last year.
• My attitude went from bad to worse. I've become arrogant actually.

Day 26 - Why are you doing this 30 day challenge?

To make a new blogsite. Thus, a "SERIES of Blog Challenges" was born.

Day 25 - Places you want to visit before you die.

Maldives

Paris

Japan

Egypt

Day 24 - Share a story about your past that you are ashamed of.

I'm not gonna share the details since the story is REALLY disturbing.

When I was 8 years old, my cousins and I did something upsetting. I think they might have repressed it in their memories already...

Day 23 - What is something you crave.

Oishi Manju

Day 22 - What makes you different from everyone else.

I don't know. I have this attitude of being competitive in a discreet manner. But I guess there are many people who are also like that. 

I am unique---just like everyone else.

Day 21 - Share a picture from your day.

A parcel

I finally claimed my parcel at PhilPost yesterday.
It went into a lot of trouble just to get this. ><

Day 20 - If you had 3 wishes, what would they be.

True Happiness

True Love

A high paying stable job

Day 19 - Nicknames you have & how or why you have them.

Eya

When I was born, my mom didn't think of any nickname for me. So if it weren't for my cousin, I wouldn't have Eya as a nickname. You see, my cousin has Down Syndrome and he couldn't pronounce my real name right -ARTRIA. He would say "Eya, Eya" (pronounced like "See Yah!). And that's how I got Eya.

Master

My friend RayRay was amazed by my tattoo so he called me "Master". ROFL. Not a lot of people call me Master. I think only 4 people do.

Day 18 - Plans/dreams/goals you have.

1. Graduate this March 2011.
2. Enroll in graduate school or in a computer-related vocational course.
3. Travel abroad
4. Try my luck at culinary
5. Have twins as children
6. Get my own pad
7. Pearly whites
8. Get an HD video camera.
9. Have a perfect family (not just a perfect husband)
10. Give my mom a comfortable life after retirement.

Day 17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why.

I want to switch lives with the richest man on Earth. If you're thinking Bill Gates, then you're wrong. Warren Buffet? Nope. Say hello to...

Carlos Slim Helú

Need I explain why I want to switch lives with him for a day? DUUUHH To spend money without worrying of course!

Day 16 - Something you could live without.

The first thing that came to my mind was a cellphone. LOL

Naaaaah. I chose a flashlight instead...

Day 15 - Put your iPod on shuffle & share the first 10 songs that play.

1. Gravity                             - Urbandub

Day 14 - A picture of something you ate and 10 confessions.

Yoppi Frozen Yogurt in HongKong ( I look fucking ugly in the photo BTW)

10 confessions

1. I wasn't alone in my Hong Kong trip.
2. I lied to my mom about who I was with in my trip.
3. I've kissed girls.

5. I start shouting when I panic.
6. I've tried illegal drugs.

8. When I get depressed, it's either I shop, or I drink.
9. I've shoplifted once - when I was 11.
10. I despise people who don't pay their debt. That's why I always pay mine on time.

Day 13 - Write a letter telling someone something you could never tell them.

Dear You,

I want you to know that I have loved you so much before. I was so helplessly in love with you. I've had nights crying and thinking about you. Thinking what I should do to make you like me or even notice me. I already imagined my future with you. Me making coffee for you every morning, me welcoming you back home from work and other stuff like that. You were who I wanted to be THE ONE. I've put your picture in my vision board. I wanted to have a family with you. You've inspired me to work harder in school and in my job. I was starting to make myself more noticeable by being active in community services and meetings... but it never paid off. I guess you will never look at a girl like me. I told myself I will never grow tired of loving you but I'm afraid the feeling waned. I'm sad that my love has gone to waste. This letter has no meaning to you but it means a lot to me. I was starting to change into a more mature person because of loving you... but now I'm back my old childish self.

Day 12 - A picture of your room & don’t cheat by cleaning it. Share a secret.

My room isn't great and cute. And it's messy too! ><

Secret about what? My room? Well, in my cabinet, there's this secret compartment which my mom doesn't know. Inside that compartment lies my other secrets as well.

Day 11 - A picture of something you dislike.

Gangsters

My GAAAAAAAAAAD Why do they even exist?

Day 10 - A story about a past relationship.

Well, I've only had one boyfriend, and we are still in a relationship now, so basically I can't say any story about a past relationship. However, I've had this kind of obscure relationship with someone about 5 years ago. I guess we really didn't move on to the next stage...

So we met via my close friend. My friend was using my phone to play a prank on him. And after some time, we exchanged text messages. I first saw him when he acted as my friend's cousin in our 4th year HighSchool Family Day. So yeah, we really didn't go out much, we were more of plain friends but not CLOSE friends. We used to text each other almost everyday like normal friends would do. And after some time.. we kind of had this strange feeling already.. like, we LIKED each other. I forgot why but we suddenly stopped sending messages. And my feelings waned for him. Moreover, he seemed to like another girl (which was my acquaintance). He later confessed that he still had feelings for me and he didn't like LIKE the girl. After that idle time between us, we talked and he somehow courted. Not really sure if he courted, but yeah.. I guess he did? But that was bad timing coz I also liked his close friend that time who also liked me too (I totally didn't know they were close). So yeah, it was kind of complicated, so I chose not to be in a relationship with either of them.
The End.

Day 09 - Something/someone you’re proud of.

I'm proud of my school - University of San Carlos. They say that job interviewers and companies would prefer college graduates of USC. It's just a rumor anyway.

I've been a proud Carolinian since I was in Grade 1.

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why.

1. I'm suspended from work for 5 days so I have to compensate and work harder.
2. Speaking of work, I have to save more money to pay my debt to my boyfriend.
3. Get whiter skin. Why? Because I'm a woman. LOL
4. Plan on my next vacation with my boyfriend.

Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you.

The Law of Attraction changed my life.

Ask, Believe and Receive The Secret

The Secret lists three required steps — "ask, believe, receive" — as the essence of the Law of Attraction.

1. We all work with one infinite power

2. The Secret is the Law of Attraction

3. Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting

4. We are like magnets - like attract like. You become AND attract what you think

5. Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy

6. People think about what they don't want and attract more of the same

7. Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation

8. You attract your dominant thoughts

9. Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it..etc..

10. It's not "wishful" thinking.

11. You can't have a universe without the mind entering into it

12. Choose your thoughts carefully .. you are a masterpiece of your life

13. It's OK that thoughts don't manifest into reality immediately (if we saw a picture of an elephant and it instantly appeared, that would be too soon)

14. EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted .. accept that fact .. it's true.

15. Your thoughts cause your feelings

16. We don't need to complicate all the "reasons" behind our emotions. It's much simpler than that. Two categories .. good feelings, bad feelings.

17. Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track.

18. Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming

19. You get exactly what you are FEELING

20. Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances

21. You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it's not there).. the universe will correspond to the nature of your song

22. What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience

23. What you think and what you feel and what actually manifests is ALWAYS a match - no exception

24. Shift your awareness

25. "You create your own universe as you go along" Winston Churchill

26. It's important to feel good

27. You can change your emotion immediately .. by thinking of something joyful, or singing a song, or remembering a happy experience

28. When you get the hang of this, before you know it you will KNOW you are the creator

29. Life can and should be phenomenal .. and it will be when you consciously apply the Law of Attraction

30. Universe will re-arrange itself accordingly

31. Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: "I'm so happy and grateful now that.... "

32. You don't need to know HOW the universe is going to rearrange itself

33. LOA is simply figuring out for yourself what will generate the positive feelings of having it NOW

34. You might get an inspired thought or idea to help you move towards what you want faster

35. The universe likes SPEED. Don't delay, don't second-guess, don't doubt..

36. When the opportunity or impulse is there .. ACT

37. You will attract everything you require - money, people, connections.. PAY ATTENTION to what's being set in front of you

38. You can start with nothing .. and out of nothing or no way - a WAY will be provided.

39. HOW LONG??? No rules on time .. the more aligned you are with positive feelings the quicker things happen

40. Size is nothing to the universe (unlimited abundance if that's what you wish) We make the rules on size and time

41. No rules according to the universe .. you provide the feelings of having it now and the universe will respond

42. Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what they are observing (bills in the mail, being late, having bad luck...etc..)

43. You have to find a different approach to what is through a different vantage point

44. "All that we are is a result of what we have thought" - Buddha

45. What can you do right now to turn your life around?? Gratitude

46. Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately

47. What we think about and THANK about is what we bring about

48. What are the things you are grateful for?? Feel the gratitude.. focus on what you have right now that you are grateful for

49. Play the picture in your mind - focus on the end result

50. VISUALIZE!!! Rehearse your future

51. VISUALIZE!!! See it, feel it! This is where action begins

52. Feel the joy .. feel the happiness :o)

53. An affirmative thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative one

54. "What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists." Alexander Graham Bell

55. Our job is not to worry about the "How". The "How" will show up out of the commitment and belief in the "what"

56. The Hows are the domain of the universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream

57. If you turn it over to the universe, you will be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered .. this is where magic and miracles happen

58. Turn it over to the universe daily.. but it should never be a chore.

59. Feel exhilarated by the whole process .. high, happy, in tune

60. The only difference between people who are really living this way is they have habituated ways of being.

61. They remember to do it all the time

62. Create a Vision Board .. pictures of what you want to attract .. every day look at it and get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants

63. "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." Albert Einstein

64. Decide what you want .. believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it's possible for you

65. Close your eyes and visualize having what you already want - and the feeling of having it already.

66. Focus on being grateful for what you have already .. enjoy it!! Then release into the universe. The universe will manifest it.

67. "Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve" W. Clement Stone

68. Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind.

69. When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it and act on it.

70. How can you become more prosperous?? INTEND IT!!

71. 'Checks are coming in the mail regularly'... or change your bank statement to whatever balance you want in there... and get behind the feeling of having it.

72. Life is meant to be abundant in ALL areas...

73. Go for the sense of inner joy and peace then all outside things appear

74. We are the creators of our universe

75. Relationships: Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others .. love yourself and you will be loved

76. Healthy respect for yourself

77. For those you work with or interact with regularly .. get a notebook and write down positive aspects of each of those people.

78. Write down the things you like most about them (don't expect change from them). Law of attraction will not put you in the same space together if you frequencies don't match

79. When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be different in order for you to feel good.

80. You will free yourself from the cumbersome impossibilities of needing to control the world, your friends, your mate, your children....

81. You are the only one that creates your reality

82. No one else can think or feel for you .. its YOU .. ONLY YOU.

83. Health: thank the universe for your own healing. Laugh, stress free happiness will keep you healthy.

84. Immune system will heal itself

85. Parts of our bodies are replace every day, every week..etc... Within a few years we have a brand new body

86. See yourself living in a new body. Hopeful = recovery. Happy = happier biochemistry. Stress degrades the bod.

87. Remove stress from the body and the body regenerates itself. You can heal yourself

88. Learn to become still .. and take your attention away from what you don't want, and place your attention on what you wish to experience

89. When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound and clear than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life

90. You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose.

91. And allow the world as others choose to see it, exist as well

92. People think that if everyone knows the power of the LOA there won't be enough to go around .. This is a lie that's been ingrained in us and makes so many greedy.

93. The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around.

94. All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of it's own infinite nature. There's enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. it will show up for you.

95. So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you want.. get behind the good feelings of all your wants.

96. Write your script. When you see things you don't want, don't think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on the don't wants... remove your attention from don't wants.. and place them on do wants

97. We are mass energy. Everything is energy. EVERYTHING.

98. Don't define yourself by your body .. it's the infinite being that's connected to everything in the universe.

99. One energy field. Our bodies have distracted us from our energy. We are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities. The creative force.

100. Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not - NOW is the time to change them. You can begin right were you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.

When you begin using The Secret you will begin to change your live.
