How I did it
How to control my teeth grinding
It took me
10 years
It made me
relieved

How I did it: I already visited a doctor and he recommended me to take Vitamin B supplements (since this is a nerve disease).  I tried the supplements but it didn't seem to work.  Maybe it worked because I got more than 8 hours of sleep. I can't say also that I am free from stress (it's like the mirror I face everyday)... but getting enough rest seems to work out the problem. Read how I did it…

How to learn how to drive
It took me
7 days
It made me
More skilled

How I did it: I took a total of 15 hours driving classes.  Regular practice is imperative.                                                             … Read how I did it…

How to watch more art films
It made me
cultured

How I did it: I'd go to Quiapo to buy those pirated copies (sorry!). I would also ask my friends about their recommendations, look in the net, and watch them in film festivals whenever I can. Read how I did it…

Daily: Reflect on at least 5 things for which I'm grateful (Happiness Manifesto #2) (read all 35 entries…)
Grateful on a Monday 5 days ago
  • A new day to reflect on how things have been for Piggy and me (we were not ok for weeks). A clearer mind is what I need to make me focused for the day.
  • That Marie complimented my complexion. She thought that I looked younger (I told her my beauty secret: Shiseido sunblock cream)
  • That I was able to climb again after several months
  • That work has become more forgiving today
  • For my weird dreams for the past 3 days: 1. I saw the sun set on the horizon and it went up; 2. I courageously dived into a pool of water even though I don’t know how to swim; 3. I was dangling on a vine full of grapes.
  • For all the love my furkid, Alfie, has given me.

Getting back to climbing with Mae 5 days ago

She just invited me casually yesterday and I said yes! It’s been months since I’ve climbed.

Even though my performance was not as good as before (actually very bad), I am happy that I was able to get back into climbing and got in touch with my friend, Mae.

Bonding with friends: Rachel 5 days ago

Last Monday I obliged to meet my climbing buddy, Rachel. She poured all her heart to me: She broke up with her long-time boyfriend, that she is entertaining new suitors, that she went beyond that “safe distance”, etc. We agreed that life has full of imperfections. All goodness, no matter how ephemeral they are, they serve a purpose.

I was happy that I was there for her. We decided to keep this bond longer.
