Quick Update (Yet again!)

Blogger friends if you decide to push me off a cliff and feed me to the wolves, I won't blame you. I'm sorry for not updating for so long, you'd have worried I'd gone on NASA's last expedition to the moon. Anyway, life has been great so far. I've got school, a job, church activities and lots of tea parties that kept me preoccupied most of the time. I hate seeing this blog unupdated but in the battle of priorities, this blog drowns to the 7th spot (I actually counted MUAHAHAH) Anyway, I've been hooked with Minion Rush (yeah, I'm such a kid) and Compact System Cameras recently.

Anyway, this is just a short update. I'll keep posting this week and we all can make up for lost time. Also, I started on my web portfolio but am on the midst of making minor adjustments, I'll post it soon so you can all see what kind of noob I am and what noobish services I offer. Also, I opened up a Cagayan de Oro (where I'm from) niche blog and hope you can visit it here ; collaborated with my sister Deb on a Fashion / Beauty blog ; and with my fat food buddy Jonathan on a Food blog.

Yeah, FACE TIME!

Weekend Shenanigans

Yay! I'm joining a new meme! Okay, so here I am. Hmm. Basically, I did what I always do on a weekend. Saturday, I went to church early (like 6am) for Prayer Breakfast and stayed there until the sun dimmed and Mr. Moon arrived from his excursions around the world. Was supposed to go to the mall and blog about this event but hesitated because ministry always goes first! I'm in the band so we practiced and practiced and practiced and even when we couldn't get it right, we still practiced. It turned out okay the next day, glory to God. There really are days when you just have to let go and let God.

Great service the next day. I was so blessed! The students I've been holding bible study with came to the youth service and it just made me very happy, like ecstatic. After that, my friends and I just went to the only milktea place open on Sundays (except those that are at the mall). It was really only then that I was able to take pictures. It's also worth mentioning that I wore the denim top I'd prepared for Saturday, because July is denim month! WOOT WOOT! Okay, so here are some crazy pictures at Sweat Leaf.

Tea with The BMF and BFF

The 8th of June is the International Day of Best Friendship and since I only found out about it yesterday, then I thought I should pay tribute to my best friends today (a month later).

For clarification purposes, you must know that (a) BFF - Best Female Friend ; (b) BMF - Best Male Friend

How To Sleep Better at Night

(Drafted this in the wee hours of the morning but decided to delay publication until in right mind-as if 11pm the next night is any improvement)

Hey, guys! I'm writing this post at the break of dawn because I've been up since 10 pm and haven't gotten an inch of sleep in there. So I decided to write this post to help those hardly-insomniacs like myself. Tiny laser beams are piercing the tree's leaves and soon enough, it would be time for a morning jog. Meanwhile, here are my unsolicited tips to sleeping better.

 > Develop a Stress Free (or Reduced) Life

 > Develop proper bed and wake up time. Studies say that people who have a functional body clock have more active mind throughout the day, which allows relaxation and dormancy during the night.

 > Don't take an afternoon 'nap' that lasts for seven hours. Sure enough if you took a nap 3 in the afternoon and woke up eons later, it's going to keep you up better than any strong form of caffeine can.

 > 8pm don't make for lovely evening strolls. Now, it might be nice to jog at night but jogging 2hrs before you go to sleep will result to you being wide awake for at least a couple of hours more and wondering what on earth you did wrong.

 > Do not drink water, urinate, brush your teeth excessively. Hello, Activity = Active-ty. If you wanna go to sleep, you do nothing, think nothing. Boredom sends you ZZzing.

 > This is no time to synthesize or making unspoken hypotheses for the statistical probability of love at first sight! There's a time for everything but now's just not the time! Counting rarely helps too (that's thinking and utilizes alot of mental energy! which genius thought of that?)

 > Don't risk reading a book, the next time you look up, you've gone from Twilight to The Break of Dawn (I hope you see what I did there ;D)

Well, these are the things I'd advise myself. You'd think from all these sleepless nights, I'd have learned my lesson by now. But you know what they say, there's always room for more ;D
