After “ages” of working inside the office, I experienced outdoor coverage again recently and there were a lot of moments when having one of these netbooks could have come in real handy.
Add to that a high-speed mobile internet connection and I would have been on a roll writing stories.
I just realized how cool it [...]

I’m feeling better and stronger everyday. I know my body is doing its best to heal itself. I know I’ll feel good as new when the week ends.
I’ve been reciting this mantra to myself for the past days, just a little something to shift my mood and attention away from pain.

Whoah… that guy’s gorgeous. I wonder if he’s single.

Wonder what I’ll have for dinner.

I’d love to fly to Hawaii.

What if I had said no, would it have made a difference?

What are you thinking right now?

It is estimated that each person thinks 50,000 – 60,000 thoughts a day. There have been no concrete studies yet to quantify this but some say the figure could be higher.

Three things that made my week

My new moleskine

1. My new moleskine
I finally caved in. But this time, of course, I’ve already used up my two old idea notebooks which gives me “reason” to get this new one. I just decided to have one idea notebook this time since my achy back requires that I bring a lighter bag every day. Does it [...]

Can you tell your (motherhood) story in 6 words?

Six word momoirs

Pop on over at Smith Magazine’s Six Word Momoirs and give it a try.
I think writing a 1,000 word memoir is relatively easier than summing up everything you want to say in just 6 words. You have to think harder for words that will really capture the essence of what you mean.

Making my first visual journal entry and self-discovery

Visual journal

Remember how I wanted to make a visual journal?
Well, I finally got myself a box of colored pencils and made my first visual journal entry.
It reminded me of kindergarten art class when I was just learning how to use colored pencils and other art materials.
Even when I was a kid, I was intimidated by art. [...]
