my current hectic life..

i am taking a little break now while waiting for the printer to fully work. so i get back to my blog, upload some pictures and write something..

this morning, i managed to chant and pray in front of the buddha shrine. i do this every tuesday or thursday every week. some weeks i missed it bc i didn't go out to buy the flowers a day before.. but today i managed to do it and i am grateful for it. since new year, i've tried to pray and chant every morning before i start my day.. i used to do it for 2 months last year and when i started to miss it, i missed it more and i stopped doing it.. so this year, i intend to do it every single day.. just 5 minutes a day, i keep telling myself..

i am reading this book. it's light-hearted. but it gives me something to think while reading it. it's about friendship among friends. i know it's a chiclit with lofty love story but the relationship between friends in the book gives me a second thought about my relationship with my old friends. if i am not aware of it, i might loose some good friends and some might fade away from my life, for goods..

this is just one page of my big fat dairy which i use for morning page, to-do-lists, scrapbook, dairy and food journal. i like to paste photos from magazine in it. anything, i feel inspired. and the reason of this page is simple. this guy is kind of hot and cute so i cut and pasted the picture here.. pretend that he is mine!! awww!!

i am still keeping up with my running goal. i've moved up from running 100 days to 365 days. some days i added weight training and pushups into the schedule. some days if i didn't feel like running, i do it just 10 min-jog or run up and down the stairs...

this is my running log since new year..
