To the one cradling a "sleep is for the weak"... →
I say tweak it a bit: sleep is for the week.
Try to take rest, re-energize; because sooner or later you’ll crash and burn, you’ll lose YOUR willpower.
Must-read for the extreme hardworker.

For the fourth time!
It’s that time of the year again.
Our family is among those who splurge on travel trips- whether local or abroad. My mom, compared with the rest of us in the family, is the most frugal. She’s very guarded when it comes to expenses- pretty much the opposite of my dad who is, for lack of a better word, “galante”. He’s the type who won’t even look at the price...

Desk space invasion.
This is what my desk currently looks like- or at least half of it.
I’ve been downing an espresso roast (which is incredibly cheap!) and reading this wire-bound reviewer altogether for a week now. The exam is drawing near and I thought I had to do some individual studying apart from the review classes, which nearly mirror the effect of a lullaby! I’m a visual learner but eventhough...

I’d almost always take notice of someone who incidentally blurts the word: BUNNY.
Meet my apparent twin, Bunny Paras. It’s quite funny how some strangers oddly stare at me and ask if I was her sister, if not her- her. And sometimes, I’d cut their attempt to recall and say.. YES, I LOOK LIKE BUNNY PARAS. It’s almost an automatic thing for me, ladies and gents.

There’s nowhere to go, there’s nothing left to say, and there’s no place to put this massive disappointment. It is what it is.
All there is, is the choice to be okay despite.
Exactly how i feeeeeel.

Empty
There’s nothing left in my small cup and source of inspiration and motivation. It dripped an unimaginable dose for about a month or two, but now..it feels like it’s drying out and I’m about to suck air instead. I might just be able to hold out a few months or so..then I’m out.
You know, I’ve tried my very best to find even the tiniest reason to go to work and while...

Dropped Immune System
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START MY WORK WEEK.
For the past days, I’ve been nursing a cold and it’s not the sneezing type of cold, its the constant-blowing-of-nose kind of cold that lasts for a quite long while and leaves your nose totally red and sore.
Grabbed this can of 0 fat Arizona Green Tea (available in Bo’s Coffee and select supermarkets) this morning from the fridge and...

Blabbing
What does one go through when he searches for and freely chooses to immerse himself in hardship?
Someone just recently opened up that he’s never ever had that down-in-the-dumps, stuck-in-a-rut, life-sucks-i-want-to-give up kind of situation. Iyong talagang life knocks you down. Teleserye level, kung baga. I mean, I believe whatever life brings, it’s one’s disposition...

Cy's best friend
It’s been a Matcha week for me. I’ve been craving for a warm cup for a while now and have bought from CBTL, Starbucks, and Chatime.
Yesterday afternoon, I tried Chatime’s matcha tea latte w/ (just) 70% sweetness. I thought it must be pretty promising ‘cos they had decent and addicting milktea’s to begin with. After skimming through the beverage menu, (and yes, it...

Nanny for Money?
http://www.aupair.com/
So i found this interesting site where one can apply as au pair in various countries like Czech Republic, Spain, Australia and the US for a month or so.
A ticket to freedom and cultural experience?
It’s so cool because some families, like the one in Australia, are willing to pay for travel costs and for a month you can earn as much as Php40,000!
Hahahaha Cy the...

Cool coincidence!
Guess who I’m literally rubbing elbows with? HAHAHA. Want a clue? Bellagio. Can’t guess yet?
I totally doubt, I think that’s a giveaway.
I attended another broker review session and our instructor, Mr.Duterte, suprisingly is the broker of JRC!!! Want me to spill the beans? Yesssss he has tons of prime properties purchased from various developers and since early last year, he...

Cheers to Firsts: The Cebu Highlights
For it was solely for a brokers briefing and investors party that I came to Cebu, I was at Marriott Hotel the entire full day. With me were Aiza and Carla helping out in our events. Good thing they were there; else, would’ve died in boredom.
Humba, Chicken Inasal, and Cebu Pancit
Food tripping in Cebu is a non-negotiable. These are some of my favorite dishes, which were served at...

Brash Shoegasm
Meet my new babies from Brash!
I was strolling last Sunday at Trinoma and saw this lovely, classic pair at Payless. I’m not so much a fan of patent leather, but this one’s an exception. The fit just swept me off my feet! Rhyming? Haha. You know when you try to shrug off the urge to buy something, telling yourself: ‘Go sleep on it first. Think before buying.”
I walked...

Sunday Pampering
If there’s anything else I’d be willing and happy to splurge on, it’s any form of pampering.
Be it a swedish massage, a foot/hand spa, or a simple haircut, I will never scrimp and be irritably stingy; but of course, I will always get my money’s worth. A sky-rocketing price of a thousand for a haircut would be too impossible for me to take! And so speaking of getting...
The Impractical Shopper
Bored to death?
I am not a fan of dangling earrings. I don’t use them at all but when I saw this feather pair at the thrift store, I just immediately got them.
Just realized that I am like that as a shopper. More often than not, I buy things not out of need. I always feel like i’ll be able to use them at one point but they end up taking every nook and cranny of my room,...

THIS IS JUST SO HEARTBREAKING.
This happens. You type your heart out for 30 freaking minutes and voila, your blogpost just vanishes into thin air.
WHAT A MOMENT.
Should I re-type? HUHUHUHU.

Cebu Teaser
Well, what do I obviously love about Cebu the most? The most hospitable people (by far) and the uber delish food!
Foodgasm, indeed.
More Cebu experience in my next blogpost! Meanwhile, I’m heading out to run!
