loving, praying, reading, dancing, shopping. in that order.

been thinking abt my weaknesses. and i think one major fault of mine is not knowing how to say no. it's really tiring trying to please everyone; thinking up ways to broach subjects without hurting feelings, being afraid to offend. i suppose some of you can't imagine me this way. cos i know how to put my foot down when displeased and i damn well make sure i'm heard. but it's more along the lines of people i care about. i don't believe in horoscope, but apparently it is a common libran trait to love harmony. and perhaps this is why i always try to please. and i'm also overtly sensitive abt people hurting my loved ones. i take it upon myself to always try to make them feel better. hmmm. at times i admire straight-forward people. i think: just how do they do it? but then again. i feel abit taken aback when they exhibit their directness. haha see! there's no escaping this!! anyway i'm gg to try and liberate myself. just to say no and not feel guilty abt it. let you know how i fare =)

been CRAZY shopping the past week. trying to squeeze in time when not in sch/reading Jane Eyre to hit town. been buying every possible thing under the sun in the name of Chinese New Year. my friends like to tell me everyday is CNY/Christmas cos i always have new clothes. eh hey. this time, i'm really hoarding everything i can. not just clothes ok. new sheets, dresses, bags, lingerie, accessories.. well. you know my resolution. and i'm proud to say life's much more balanced now. shopping= spending time with mom. and dg my readings everyday= less guilt when splurging. dancing over the weekend = even less guilt. AHAHA. i am so pleased. i am a champion shopper. a new week dawns tmr; more opportunities to hit the shops!

FINALLY FINALLY i am gg for a mani/pedi on thurs with mel. i have been un-manicured since Christmas cos i got back to dancing and i feel very unpresentable with my nails that i refuse to cut myself. i have completely sold myself to having my talons pampered regularly. this week taking some time out from dance to catch up on MORE readings so i booked in immediately. you have NO idea how much i look forward to the appt. just sitting there and being attended to. it's a habit alr. and i don't see it as extravagant. manicures and pedicures complete every girl. if you haven't, GET STARTED.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
