Farewell 2010

2010 has been a good year for me. So many blessings. I have my share of problems too but I would rather think of the positive things than dwell on the negative things. As I bid goodbye the the year, these are what I am thankful for.

Good Health. I'm physically fit to be able to work, as my medical result turned out. Yippeee! Except for minor cuts and hello eye wear, I am good to go..

Bondings. With my family and relatives. With friends and acquaintances. With co-workers. My social network has grown and my social life has become active after years of dormancy. haha!

Travel and Adventure. Ive been to places I've never been before or re-visited places I went to when I was still a toddler. Surigao. Maramag. Pagadian. I have conquered the Zipzone challenge in Dahilayan, Bukidnon and conquered my fear of heights with the Skywalk and Edge Coaster in Cebu! Hip hip! Hooray!!! I have renewed my passport so *fingers crossed* for future escapades. Oh! I also get to have Andy, my trusted travel companion. tee hee!

Fashion. The caterpillar has turned into a cocoon and is now ready to free herself from bondage. Drama! I can never say I am a fashionista but there is still room for improvement in my sense of style. It is never too late. Bang! I'm loving my flat shoes this year!

Looking forward to what is in store for me in 2011. I have a feeling its gonna be a better year. Happy New Year, Everyone.

What were you thankful for in 2010?

Live Curious

"Live curious" is about exploration, pioneering and questioning, which captures National Geographic's shared spirit.

I read about this campaign in Daphne's Diary months ago and I was super duper interested to having the shirt and as a Christmas present, I bought my self one.


If only they have the "Everything deserves a why" statement, I would have bought that.

Giving into Temptation

Its been quite a while since I last purchased some books. I strayed away from NBS (that's National Bookstore, btw) and Book Sale due to financial constraints. Haha! Well, basically because I aimed to buy some stuff for myself.

Then, today, after work, I was supposed to meet up with bff K but plans got changed at the last minute so I went to the mall to kill some time. I came upon the sale stall of NBS and lo! and behold! There were books on sale! Although some were not in new condition but still in good reading condition.

my purchases

Gifts with my name on it

I posted my personal wishlist for 2010 and I'm happy to say I got two out of five. I bought myself a digital camera and a belle de jour power planner 2011. Yehey!!!

My barkada's been bugging me for my wishlist for our annual exchange gift. We usually do this to make it easier for our manita to think of something to give. heheh. Bff D posted her wishlist here. Although there's a slim chance that my barkada will get to read this (but I'm hoping they do) then the following are my choices:

In line with out theme: Something that starts with the letters from our first name or nickname. In my case, its BETHANIE MAE, BETH, or BEE.

B for BOB SHOES. Since I can't afford a pair of Toms now, a pair of locally manufactured Bob shoes would suffice. hehehe. I'm a size 8, by the way. *winks*

B for Bench Jeggings with back pocket. I'm surprising myself with this one. Never thought I would want to own a pair of jeggings considering how my thighs bloated. haha!

B for Boyfriend Polo Shirt. This would be nice to pair up with the jeggings... heheh

numbers, anyone?

Its one of those days again. Slept late woke up at dawn, scared and can't go back to sleep. What was there to do? I checked up on Numerology and I found this interesting site. Why the certain interest in numbers? Its something I can't explain. I liked the Da Vinci Code because it introduced me to Fibonacci sequence. I believe numbers in our life exists far more important that choosing the right combination for a lotto bet. In a personal note, I feel that the numbers that surrounds me are messages and/or signs from my Mom. Irony with this interest is that I struggle with math and computations. haha.

HERE ARE MY RESULTS

You entered: B******* M** C*****

There are 16 letters in your name.
Those 16 letters total to 67
There are 8 vowels and 8 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:

HebrewFemaleVariant of Bethany - a village near Jerusalem where Jesus visited Mary; Martha and Lazarus.

Your number is: 4

The characteristics of #4 are: A foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth.

The expression or destiny for #4:
Order, service, and management are the cornerstones of the number 4 Expression. Your destiny is to express wonderful organization skills with your ever practical, down-to-earth approach. You are the kind of person who is always willing to work those long, hard hours to push a project through to completion. A patience with detail allows you to become expert in fields such as building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. Your abilities to write and teach may lean toward the more technical and detailed. In the arts, music will likely be your choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields as horiculture and floral arrangement, as well. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Expression.

The positive attitudes of the 4 Expression yield responsibility; you are one who no doubt, fulfills obligations, and is highly systematic and orderly. You are serious and sincere, honest and faithful. It is your role to help and you are required to do a good job at everything you undertake.

If there is too much 4 energies present in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes of the number 4. The obligations that you face may tend to create frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. You may sometimes find yourself nursing negative attitudes in this regard and these can keep you in a rather low mood. Avoid becoming too rigid, stubborn, dogmatic, and fixed in your opinions. You may have a tendency to develop and hold very strong likes and dislikes, and some of these may border on the classification of prejudice. The negative side of 4 often produces dominant and bossy individuals who use disciplinarian to an excess. These tendencies must be avoided. Finally, like nearly all with 4 Expression, you must keep your eye on the big picture and not get overly wrapped up in detail and routine.

Your Soul Urge number is: 6

A Soul Urge number of 6 means:
With a number 6 Soul Urge, you would like to be appreciated for your ability to handle responsibility. Your home and family are likely to be a strong focus for you, perhaps the strongest focus of your life. Friendship, love, and affection are high on your list of priorities for a happy life. You have a lot of diplomatic tendencies in your makeup, as you a able to rectify and balance situations with an innate skill. You like working with people rather than by yourself. It is extremely important for you to have harmony in your environment at all times.

The positive side of the 6 Soul Urge produces a huge capacity for responsibility; you are always there and ready to assume more than your share of the load. If you possess positive 6 Soul Urges and express them, you are known for your generosity, understanding and deep sympathetic attitude. Strong 6 energy is very giving of love, affection, and emotional support. You may have the inclination to teach or serve your community in other idealistic ways. You have natural abilities to help people. You are also likely to have artistic and creative leanings.

If you have an over-supply of 6 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative traits common to this number. With such a strong sympathetic attitude, it is easy to become too emotional. Sometimes the desires to render help can be over done, and it can become interfering and an attitude that is too protective, rather than helpful. The person with too much 6 energy often finds that people tend to take advantage of this very giving spirit. You may tend to repress your own needs so that you can cater to the demands from others. At times, there may be a tendency in this, for becoming over-loaded with such demands, and as a result become resentful.

Your Inner Dream number is: 7

An Inner Dream number of 7 means:
You dream of having the opportunity to read, study, and shut yourself off from worldly distractions. You can see yourself as a teacher, mystic, or ecclesiastic, spending your life in the pursuit of knowledge and learning.
