Mayo

Hello y'all!! It's that time of the year again. :) Don't you just love this month? I mean seriously! Flowers, new life, good vibes, beginnings. Those are just some of the words associated with the month of May. But it's more than that for me. It's my....okay drum rolls please....BIRTH MONTH! :) Yes, yours truly is turning 23 this month. You see, this month will always be special for me. While some people have admittedly stopped celebrating their birthdays on 20s, I will always always always always remember and celebrate my birthday.

Sooooo, here's some things I'd like to have on my special day:

1. Shi Tzu

I really want to have my own dog. I will name it '_______'. Oh, I still haven't thought of a name for it. I guess it's okay cuz' I still haven't gotten a dog too. For my 23rd birthday, I want a best friend. Something I can hug when I'm  feeling so stressed and something that will reciprocate my love.. Something that will not hurt me. #Hugot. Only problem is that getting a dog also means more responsibility.  That's why I'm having second thoughts. With everything that's going on with my life and with everything that is about to happen, I'm not so sure If I can deal with the extra burden. The dog itself is cute and great to have...but I should also think about the obligations that come with it. :) Anyway, buying a shi tzu is not on my budget for this month so, I guess I'll only be able to have one when someone gives it to me for free. Wahaha. Okay, accepting donations here. :)

2. Visit Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur

Now, there is only 20% chance that this will happen. I'm saving for my tuition fee next sem because as you know….or not, I will be transferring to another school next sem. Tuition Fee there is double the TF in my previous school so I really need to save a lot of money. Since I get to travel in two great places this month for FREE (Thank you Lord, I guess he scheduled Company outings this month so I wouldn't get to spend for my birthday), I gave this trip minimum priority. Technically, it's not a priority at all because this is also NOT included in my budget anymore. #Sobs. There's 20% chance though that I will be able to have this travel PROVIDED that for some miraculous reasons, I will be able to get my referral incentive early and by early, I mean on the 15th. No offense but based on my previous experience, our HR is sooo slow in processing this kinds of things that it takes nearly 3 months before an employee  gets his/her incentive. Ohhhh fudge. Anyway, I'll sure do my part and follow-up. Who knows. God moves in mysterious ways. He might get me to Ilocos on my precious day. <3

3. Change My Ways

I really want to re-create myself. Since I'm going to start a new life in another school, I want to be whole, compact, prepared and great when the semester begins. That's why I'm saying goodbye to my old habits and I'm saying hello to the "new and improved" me. It's not like I suddenly wanna be a new person...it's just that I have come to the realization that the old me is self-destructive. I'm killing myself slowly with all the habits and mindset that I have. If I don't change, I'll surely be dead in no time. The real me doesn't like that. The real me wants a healthy, career-oriented, positive, hopeful and successful life. That's why I decided to change my ways as a gift to myself. This month, I am going to jump start my transformation. No more smoking, no more whining, no more negative thoughts, no more disrespect, no more carelessness, no more indecisiveness, no more craziness. Well okay, let's cross out "craziness" on the list cuz' that's just the way I am wahahaha and I like being crazy. Cheers to being crazy! Another thing, I need to be consistent. Consistency is the key to change. Please pray for me and pray that I find  sense in what I'm about to do. :) This will be a perfect gift to myself.

I'm not expecting a lot on my birthday. Honestly, If I get #3, I'll be the happiest 23 year-old woman. Hokeyyy! That's about all for tonight.
