Oprah Oprah Oprah

A few nights back we were watching Oprah Moments at Maria's place, Djahanne and I. The flat was empty except for the three of us because (Maria) Yvette's boyfriend and his colleagues are out of the country for like a month now.

We have planned to meet at Book Gallery and we did. We were supposed to have coffee at Starbucks but the line was too long and I told Yvette to ditch it so we can go to her place as she promised to make us adobo. So we decided to meet there as Djah brought Neo and I have Silverine. We went to coop on the way because I needed to buy cat sand (yes, Lewis's poo corner is so stinky now!) but since Silverine was parked way far from the coop so I said I will buy the sand at another time from Carrefour.

So now, we sat and watched Oprah. Oprah is indeed an inspiration as well as an icon (I actually wanted to write inspirational icon) and she must have moved millions of lives all over the world with her generosity and her show.

Yvette is doing the gratitude thingy which I might have to do too soon. (Like, hello? Oprah has got a million things to thank for her in life. She earns billions just doing the show.)It's been bugging me for days thinking about Oprah. Well, I am such a cynic and skeptic and the irony of it all is I want to believe really. But maybe I will be better soon. Or at least feel better soon.

I am way out of myself these past few months. Yes I miss the time when I was alone in that one room where my neighbors were always fighting. I could easily gather my thoughts then. But yes, I have to be thankful for so many things in my life. I will open a gratitude blog here soon okay?

These days, everytime I wake up, it seems like a drag. Like its a sensation that is so awful I want to get rid of it. I know I have told myself to do something unusual each day so that I would be able to take each day differently. But things just seem to slip out of my head.

Well, yes I admit, Oprah is a very good source of motivation, there I said it.

Cat Sand

Since the flat has been emptied with a few items, I decided to get a sofa bed and more shelves as well as a new cabinet. I got them all from Ikea on their AS IS or bargain items. They were well worth the price as they were discounted like 50-70% off their original prices. My sofa bed has maroon covers, 2 big cushions and 4 huge pillows and the mattress was just wonderful.

I wanted to get Lewis some cat sand but Carrefour ran out of it. So weird. They now have this silvery stuff which I didn't get because they were five times more expensive than the last one I usually buy. And who would have thought Marina Mall would be so busy at 1 o'clock noon? What were the people thinking? Well, they probably thought it was gonna be empty, so there we were, all with the same thoughts, cramping the parking space and the roads.

There are few things that I need to do.

I MUST:

1. stop swearing so much.
2. save a lot more.
3. stop buying more shoes.
4. stop shopping for more clothes.
5. stop my obsession with Burjois make up stuff.
6. write more.
7. write again some more.
8. read my books.
9. finish my HS course with PennFoster.
10. be more happy.

The list would go on and on and on....
