I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t admit to being conscious about my weight. Give me a break will ya, I need to look and feel great. And lately I don’t on both accounts at all.

I eat enough (but my mom says I eat too much, ugh), running around and trying to keep up with a baby queen is starving work. Trying to make a living online is brain tiring, trying to fit my usual routine in one day is exhausting. Want to hear more excuses?

I am such a homebody and a bedroom girl at that. If only I could stay in bed for the whole day, I would.

Even before I got pregnant, I’m the narcoleptic insomiac in the family. WTF? What I mean is whenever I get too comfortable in a chair or bed, I fall asleep quick (The insomiac part is very evident, I don’t sleep on the usual time) who doesn’t love sleep anyway?

Working from home has its ups and downs. The advantage is I can work whenever I want and I don’t worry about slacking off because everyone knows I’m a workaholic and I stress when there’s work to be done. The downside is I don’t get the workout I need, even with a 1 year old daughter to attend to, it just doesn’t feel like a workout.

Yesterday morning around 9 AM until yesterday night 7 PM, a bus filled with kindergarten children, supposed to head for Tagaytay for a daycare excursion, detoured and was hostaged in front of the Bonifacio shrine in Manila. The hostage taker, Jun Ducat, had two grenades without pins, an uzi and god knows what else. Guess who Jun Ducat was… the owner of the daycare center.

A couple of senatoriables took turns on-site to negotiate with Ducat. And what did he want? He want to be heard by the government. I know in this society, the government would seem and might really be deaf to the needs of the people. If he didn’t take this violent method, how else would the government know what he wants or what most people want? But in my opinion, this kind of actions should not be tolerated.

The end doesn’t justify the means.

Asking for education and housing projects for the mass are very beautiful aims and I would like to believe everyone in our nation has hopes of everyone being granted education and proper shelter. But by endangering the lives of 32 innocent children for this aim is a lot of crap.

My apologies for the Shakesperean.

I have been contemplating whether to continue using my .be or not. Apparently, as of press time, my joiz.be is still the most popular joiz according to Google, not that I keep track or anything but for some weird reason I get clicks from that search so I notice it (must be my relatives and friends). I’m also the fifth most popular angel’s lair in google (talk about luck).

It seems joiz.be is still the domain most noticed by the search engines and it seems most people still remember joiz.be than joiz.org. I have still to get use to typing .org on the address bar whenever I visit my own site. But I’ve asked a few friends to change my domain address to the .org and if I move back to .be, I would probably have to ask them to change it back and I’d be just annoying won’t I? See my dilemma here? So what do you think? Should I continue on with .org, put the 301 redirect on .be and don’t look back, or do I move back my blog to .be… Ooooh I’d feel bad for the .org though, it was like a christmas present.

I am not a big fan of the sun. I used to be. I used to stay under the sun while hanging out in the beach until I’m scorched black. But ever since I’ve developed a nocturnal characteristic and lost time to be athletic and such, the sun just doesn’t seem to like me anymore.

Today, for the first time after a long time, I went out at high noon! Bad bad bad idea to go out without an umbrella, even with sunblock I can feel my skin sizzle… ick. I will never set foot outside again at high noon, even if you offer me a million bucks…

wait a million bucks? hmmm on second thought…

Tell me, what’s the difference between BPI bank accounts and BPI family accounts? Aside from having the title “family”. I don’t seem to get it, I went to the bank today, a BPI family bank branch and they rejected my deposit request because the account I was depositing to was a BPI account. I was like WTF? It’s almost 3PM, the sun is scorching hot and I went to your bank for nothing? Arrrghhhh

I read somewhere that there are only two greatest days in a person’s life. The first would be the day you were born, and the other one would be the day you find out why.

Inspiring isn’t it? Everyone has been unconsciously looking for the answer to their existence and yet have we found the answer? What about me? Have I even tried to look for the ‘why’?

I think I may have but due to my immaturity and youth, I may have lost interest along the way and have drowned in the temptations. I was blinded by gluttony, pleasure, power, freedom… ‘Too much and too little is bad for you’ they say. I had too much in my past and now I think I have too little. But I know these are the consequences of my actions and looking back, all throughout the journey in life, I know I took so many wrong turns.

And here I am yet again, trying to grasp the meaning of my life. Trying to understand why things happen in all of my 22 years of breathing. I’m only 22… Would I even know where to look? And if I found the answers, would I even be able to grasp the truth or worse, accept it?
