Back to Reading

It's been a while since I last held a book and read. If I'm not mistaken the last book I read was The Fault in Our Stars which I read before I gave birth to my daughter. She's turning three this August, so I guess, that has really been a long time. 

When I was younger, I really liked reading books. I was always in different bookstores looking for new books to read and sometimes, my whole day can just be allotted to reading inside my room. That was fun for me. Aside from reading books, I also like watching movies and yes, I was once that book fan who gets so disappointed with the different movie adaptations. :) 

I was never really a fan of e-books. I tried downloading two books online and I just ended up deleting it because I don't up reading it and it eats a lot of space in my phone or iPad. I really don't know why? I guess I find it less interesting since most of the time, it's either I'm holding my phone or I'm in front of my laptop and that's way less exciting than turning a book page. 

My life got really busy right after I turned 18. I was studies and I worked at the same time so I really had no time to read because I'd rather catch up on my Zs than read. I got really lazy; And of course when I got married and had a baby (not really in that order) I became more busy and any working mother can attest to the difficulties of finding your own quiet time. LOL. 

I'm not sure what led me to think about reading again? Well, I wanted my blog to have more sense? I want it to contain not just rants but meaningful thoughts too. So I've decided that maybe it's time for me to go back to reading and really allot time to read again. It might help me get away from Facebook or Instagram for a while - I need to widen my vocabularies again and widen my knowledge even more. I'm not getting any younger and my toddler is growing up really fast too. I want her to love books as well despite the awesome technology that we have now. 

So today, I am making a promise that instead of buying lipsticks and clothes, I will buy a book every payday and will try my very best to finish it before the next payday comes in; that's approximately 10 days. Yay! Can't wait! 

Day One

After weeks of contemplating if whether I should create a new blog, it finally happened. 

I have actually created two blogs in Wordpress but I found it really difficult to adjust and customise their themes so I'm settling here instead. I guess, this is home for me & I'm quite happy about it. 

It's been a while since I last wrote an entry in my other blog and I've decided to do this whole thing again because I feel like this would really be helpful for me in terms of dealing with life in general.  

People know me for being spontaneous and outspoken maybe because I'm also bound by my duty to be like that given that I'm  a Human Resources Practitioner. I definitely do not have issues with dealing with other people's feelings and most of the time I help them through it but as for myself, I may have problems dealing with mine, hence, the title of this blog. 

There are days wherein it seems like there's chaos in my head & there are days wherein it's just quiet and calm. I have a lot in my mind and most of the time, it's really difficult for people to see because I just show them what I want them to see. They think they know but they really don't. Crazy, huh?

When I created my first blog, my main goal was to inspire others in taking a leap of faith. I wanted my readers to believe that taking risks were worth it. I wanted to share information that can help new moms and wives to deal with the beginning of these new stages in their lives. I want my readers to realise that they should never settle and instead, always aim to be a better version of themselves. 

This time around, my only goal is to just simply write, write my heart out; And hopefully, continue to inspire others by sharing my life experiences.
