Life Updates

Wow, it's been almost a month since I have been able to sit down and write anything. I am happy to inform you, I have been busy for good reasons. I have successfully been able to finish my second professional certificate. I am interning right now with a marketing agency in Irvine. The people are really nice and welcoming. 

I have started the Keto Diet after much deliberation. It's been 2 weeks since I started and till now it has been on track. I am enjoying cooking and meal prepping. So, all in all, life seems fine. 

I want to write every night now and so I thought what better time to start than now. So, here is to taking one day at a time and seeing where this chapter of mine takes me. 

[I have been cooking a lot and want to share my recipes soon. Let's see how that goes, laziness coupled with work and tiredness gets to me so much that I have been horrible at maintaining my blog, but I need to buck up.]

Happy October everyone!

2017 Chapter VI Section 27

Good Start

Today was another day when I didn't really follow my To-Do list to the T. But, I did start a few things I have been meaning to. Rather re-start! 

First and foremost, I finally did my schedule for July and I love doing those. My brain feels so happy, scheduling and budgeting! :D

Then, the whole day I pampered myself a lot with a hair spa and sleeping a lot and then face masks! I think I needed those! They were homemade and now I am feeling so happy and extra clean! 

Then, I cleaned the house, clothes, everything! The fresh, clean smell gives my brain a feeling of content and happiness! I also started cooking at home. Though my hand does still pain after doing that, I have found easier and quicker recipes. (I will post them on the website soon.)

Also, going to the gym have made me so happy. I want to be more regular there. Going there, meeting people, the atmosphere there, the challenges makes me happier and definitely fitter. And, I love the fact that our instructor is understanding yet pushes us. 

Finally, I am now sitting and going through everything I want to do in the break or whatever is left of it. And, then I plan to sleep. Hopefully, I will be able to follow my schedule then I should be able to do everything I have been planning for me for the past few months! Let's do this! 

Tata!

2017 Chapter VI Section 18

Life & Budgeting 

Money is a strange thing, 
The runs the world, 
And, runs me too.

Somehow, it always runs away, 
From me, I don 't know why, 
Or, have no clue!

I am not Rich,
I am not Poor,  
I always seem to have enough, 
But, always seem to need more.  

Now, let me budget a little, 
To save for tomorrow, 
So, I can be a little more happy, 
And, have little less sorrow! 

Tata!

2017 Chapter III Section 23

Desperation breeds Mis-judgment 

Sometimes, it is best to let things be. 

Pushing hard, won't let it budge.

It will only let it push back harder. 

Patience is a virtue, they say. 

They are not wrong. 

Sometimes, you need to calm down, 

Judge a situation. 

The more desperate you get, 

The more mistakes you make. 

Sometimes, the issue is small, 

But, sometimes big things will be at stake!

My thought for the day! Tata!
