yevka’s blog

I’ve spent loads of time in blogger, but when Richard offered to host my own domain for a very minimal fee (TY na, diba Chard?), I said, why not. And within two days, this site was up.

And not only up. This site had everything I loved up blogger, including my chatterbox! I asked Chard about it, and he said kaya daw nya. But I haven’t seen any other WP with a cbox (I even checked most of the websites under Chie’s link – WP Filipino bloggers), so I was doubtful, esp. since Maeyo said she’s tried everything as well. Oh, but lo and behold – how, I don’t know – but he did it. – with the other widgets (which for a certain time I couldn’t manipulate for whatever reason).

Anyway, I still think I’ve been a happy blogger user, but I had to admit that I had problems with its layouting. Plus I didn’t like the fact that I didn’t have any *pages*, like how they did it here. I’m still excited to see what other things WP has to offer. I’m still learning. Chard not only hosted my site, but literally put in everything (gosh, feeling ko I have a personal web developer, hehehe! Peace ) So that basically meant that I don’t know how to manipulate this blog fully yet. Any tips and tricks out there?

While bloghopping, chanced upon this site that had me “reconnect with my inner Goddess”. Can you believe that? I have an inner Goddess! It even has a name. Hathor.

Anyway, here’s a self-love “To Do” which I invite all my friends to join.

It’s a Self-Love Affair!

By: Anita Ryan-Revel

When my single girlfriends wail that “there are no good men out there,” I suggest that before they think about serious relationships and marriage, they first marry themselves in order to find true love.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You’ll Need

* Open heart
* Self love
* A willingness to throw out old habits and self loathing

Steps

1. Set Your Intention. Work out what you want to achieve by marrying yourself. For example, “a lifelong commitment from a partner in a relationship that exudes happiness at every turn.” Before you can expect this commitment from someone else, you must first promise that you will do everything in your power to give this to yourself, every day.

2. Throw Out Self Loathing. Looking in the mirror and criticizing your imperfections? Laughing off compliments and dismissing nods to your brilliance? Flying under the radar so your super-stardom goes unnoticed? These are classic signs that you have a degree of self-loathing. Self-loathing only serves to block you from finding happiness within. When you radiate unhappiness, you attract unhappy people. Unhappy people are generally commitment-phobes. So get over yourself girl, and repeat after me: “Self-loathing is for suckers.”

3. See Yourself As a Goddess. Begin to notice your perfections when you look in the mirror. Receive compliments as graciously and copiously as you give them. Say “yes, yes, YES” a lot, with revellious and delightful energy. Practice shameless acts of joy and master joyous acts of shame. Affirm yourself daily with delicious words including “magical, mystical, sparkling, juicy, ethereal, beauty, intuitive, divine.” When you see yourself as Goddess, this is the gorgeous energy you radiate and hence, you begin to attract similarly gorgeous people into your life.

4. Be Your Own Best Friend. Tell yourself jokes. Spoil yourself rotten. Keep yourself entertained by doing what YOU want to do. Write down a promise to self that you will “never put baby in the corner.” Flick “friends” that dare to support habits of self-loathing. Become a magnet to new friends that are a reflection of your perfection.

5. Create Your Day. Now that you are your own little solar system and the brightest little star at the center of your own cosmos, it is time to invite family and friends who love you as much as you love yourself, and to help you celebrate your rocking divinity. Picture your perfect ceremony in your head, see the smiling faces of your friends as they witness your joy, play with wedding vows until you have the perfect expression of your perfect self.

6. Let the Party Begin. Set the date, find your venue, send out invitations, and let the party of self-love begin.

Tips and Warnings

* Go overboard with fun and self-love.

* Do not marry yourself if you hear voices in your head that serve to sabotage your intentions for true, everlasting, undying, fulfilling, rip-roaring LOVE.

=================

I’m excited to proceed to #6. But one thing at a time. Let me do Step #1 first.

Not only am I in love with the looks of the Apple MacBook Pro and the Apple iPhone, I’ve now fallen in love with the Apple Store! The one in 5th Avenue! OMG! It’s a Property Consultant’s (not to mention architects and interior designers) dream to be a part of something this grand, this monumental.

It’s the 21st century architecture at its finest.

The Apple Cube

All I can say is… Wow.

=================

On a side note, my friend Richard gave his review on the iPhone that I’ve been salivating over. With his and Maeyo’s comments, I must agree that this phone is not for me.

But I still can’t help go ga-ga over such beautiful things. Wonder how many more asses I need to kiss to make a sale before I can get myself a MacBook Pro.

***want, want, want***

… priorities, priorities, priorities …

Who now will feed my addiction? Does that mean I’d need to go back to the real world and stop fantasizing about McDoctors and Superheroes? What happens to us entertainment consumers out there?

My Lakbayan grade is D! That’s practically a failing grade.

This year, I was able to travel to Davao and Cebu, and was extremely happy with the plane rides. But aside from that, I’m not much of a traveler, which is a total waste, if you ask me. I mean, I’ve been living in the Philippines for 12 years already, and yet my Indian and Chinese clients have seen more of the place than me. Not good. Not good at all.So I need a resolution that I should go visit at least one or two more Philippine island before the end of the year.

PAL and Cebu Pacific, what’ve you got for me?

================

How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan! Created by Eugene Villar.

I posted it more than a week ago. But since then, there has been no feedback. No reply. Not a peep. I’m wondering where you are and if you’ve seen it. I’m waiting and I’m very bad at waiting because in my head, I’ve been wanting to share with the rest of the world what’s been going on, but I don’t want to… not yet. Not until I know what you’ve got to say. I wanted you to be the first to know.

Maybe you’ve been very busy. Or internet connection’s been bad. But if you’re reading this, then surely you’ve read my message to you.

So here’s my pent-up-waiting-to-burst feelings…

Please tell me what’s on your mind.

Waiting pa rin….
