Life Past 30

I change this blog's title a few days ago. From Mix, Mix to Life Past 30. Let me tell you why...

I turned 32 last August. Almost everything that I want to share in this blog is about me and my life right now. That's why I thought I might as well change the title to something that will reflect what my blog would really be all about.

Thus, the new title.

Life Past 30.

Haircut, friends and massage...

I apologize for the lack of updates. I've been really busy and updating was out of the question. Anyway, here are some of the things that happened to me since my last update...

I had a haircut. I'm the wash-and-wear type of person so a long hair is tedious to me.

I was trying to grow my hair longer because my friends were telling me to do so. They said that it suits me more than the short haircuts I've been sporting. BUT. I grew tired of tying my hair. I grew tired of taking too long in the shower to clean my hair. So I had my hair cut the way I want it and now I feel much better!

I saw my 'stressbuster' girl friends last Friday night. I wasn't feeling well but I thought I might as well go and see the girls who can make me laugh like crazy. And I made the right decision! A few hours after I went home, I felt so much better. Laughter really is the best medicine!

I see these three girls regularly, at least once a month. We've been friends for the past 18 years already and I am proud to say that we're still as close as ever!

Finally, I had a whole body massage this afternoon. I've been complaining about this pain on my right shoulder for the past three days and I knew it was brought on by bad posture while in front of the computer.

My sister probably wanted me to shut up so she treated me to a relaxing massage. That's not me in the photo but that's how I felt like this afternoon. No more shoulder pain, thank God! And I had a really wonderful time during and after the massage. Had a good hour and a half nap when I got home.

So what's new with you, guys?

Rank updates

So the big G of the internet updated the ranking...

This blog hasn't been blessed with even a zero. I was actually wondering why. And I got a surprise 2 for a blog I am about to give up. And still ZEROES for the rest.

Darn!

I was hoping I'd get at least 1 for some that I kept updating regularly.

Oh well.

What can we really expect from a system that can easily be manipulated by those who knew how?

And after all these years I still get disappointed whenever there's an update. Double darn!

Waiting on the world to change...

Why wait when we can start on ourselves?



I am having a John Mayer hour right now. And this song is playing at this very minute. Waiting On The World To Change. It just reminded me of the excuses we make. We want to make the world a better place. But we are waiting for the world to change by itself. Why wait when we can start with ourselves? One person at a time and the change can start with us!

Happy Friday everyone! Let's make this day a good one for you and me, okay?

Talking to myself

I talk to myself. I do this to release pent-up emotions and stress. I don't know if you do this, too, but I tell you, it's therapeutic! I don't talk to myself out loud. I sometimes do it in my head. Other times, I murmur a little. Not so much as people will think I have gone crazy but, you know, just a little.

I also talk to God a lot. Whenever I feel burdened or I just need to say thanks, I talk to Him. The same way I do when I talk to myself. Murmur a little, conversations in my head.

And you know what? You may find it weird but it actually works! It makes you feel less burdened. It makes you feel like you just had a session with a shrink.

If you are burdened right now, try it. Talk to yourself. Tell yourself it will be okay. Ask yourself what it plans to do about tomorrow. Scold yourself for the mistakes you did but console yourself as well. And then talk to God. Tell Him everything. Ask Him for help and then let Him do it. Say thanks.

Then tell me if you don't feel light after.
