Sink or Swim

…until seven more months.

Diet plans, weight loss pills and strict exercise regimen.

Skinny jeans, stilettos and very tight tops that won’t let you breathe.

Waking up early or leaving the house if I don’t feel like it.

Play nice with clients from hell.

Taking care of everyone. Now they take care of me

1. Speak a foreign language. Choosing between French or Spanish.

I love Math. So much that I used to tutor my brother when he needs some Algebra help. That experience showed me how hard to teach someone if you don’t have the right teaching skills. If you’re a student who is struggling with Math problems, I recommend this site called Tutorvista.com. Tutor Vista offers all kinds of tutoring packages that you can do from the comforts of your home. Connect with a tutor using your computer and you can get personalized one-on-one tutoring at a fraction of what learning centres usually cost.

Learn the answers to all your Algebra word problems in a fun and interactive way. If you will look at the photo below, you’ll see the virtual whiteboard workspace that you and your tutor can draw and write to as your tutoring session progresses.

about …

Travels – where to go, how much the packages are, where to eat

Losing weight – the right diet, diet pills, exercise program, hip-hop routines, pilates, yoga.

Movies – top 10, 50, 100; great movie dialogues, from books to big screen

Hollywood gossip – just can’t get enough of this. It has been my guilty pleasure for so long.

Food / restaurant reviews – not just the hottest place but also the most hidden and not-so-popular ones. I also like those restaurants that can accommodate a few people at the same time. Then there’s also food festivals and wine/alcohol events.

Design / art – I want to surround myself with all types of art. I’m not one of those artsy-fartsy types. I just want to be consistently amazed by art whether it’s good or bad.

Not exactly a Friday but what the heck:

1. Sweet dreams is something that rarely happens to me. I’m not complaining because a dreamless sleep means I’m fully rested.
2. I heard the unmistakable sound of a delivery van and I wonder if there’s something especially for me.
3. Silliness makes everyday interesting.
4. I’m dressing up as a Korean High School girl this Halloween. I wish! haha. I don’t have the thighs to pull it off.
5. Outstanding or not I won’t buy anything that is ridiculously expensive. Or so I say …  haha. We’ll see.
6. A 12-hour uninterrupted sleep is what I want right now!

The theme/prompt for THIS week, September 22, is:

HEADS – “Book”
Use any form of the word “Book” in any kind of post.

Let me try this one before I do another research on the best weight loss pills for my cousin.

I can’t live in a world without books. Whether it’s a paperback or an ebook, which is always the case these days, it never fails to take me away to places I can only dream of. I escape through books, travel with interesting characters, immerse myself in a stream of complicated and dangerous happenings without having harm come to me in real life.  Of course, it’s the same with movies but with a book, I can have my own version of clothes, a different take on the place and all kinds of looks for the characters.
