when i was in the car with mom, she often lectures me about humility:to be humble of my achievements , to set my foot planted on the ground and not to allow my head to get big. she insists being humble harvest rewards in the end because karma is evident. it can hit you when you least expected it. so, you reap what you sow. when you're nice, you reap kindness and respect from other people. what mom does not know is thatshe taught me that lesson long time ago. i remained humble. i am still the same person: that little girl who grew up near the market in the philippines and mingled with the poor, the girl who witnessed her hard work along with papa's effort, too, just to give us the best education, and i'm still the little girl who still discovering herself and attaining her goals humbly.

i've been trying to incorporate one to two hours daily walks with ariel every day. i also attempted to perform light exercises as i can't exert too much pressure on my left foot and ankle and right shoulder yet. i have also switched to vegetarian meals now for about two months and as difficult as it is, i hardly eat rice now a days. i only drink water or 100% natural juices. i also gave up coffee and soda, mind you. well, all my pants are getting loose now. when i wear my body hugging clothes, my evident curves are showing. and now, i get comments like "vavavoom" or "DDG" (stands for drop dead gorgeous) from my friends. it's such a inspiringly flattery gesture.

and the herd of men are flocking in. some caught my choosy interest. but i am no longer the lady who dated every men she met or got hooked up with. my god, have i grown picky with my choices of men?! no more gangsters, no more ghetto, slang talking guys, no more guys who can't spell a word, no more guys who does not love their family, no more men who are not close to the Lord ...well yeah, you might have pictured my list. my strict list of standards now have sclaed up on a higher level now. that explains why i am still single. but it is perfectly okay as it is my task to choose who i think is right for me. he he he.

these strange journey of transformation came by surprise. but one that i am embracing with open arms. i know there are many more to come. and i do welcome the little steps but obviosuly drastic change.

who knows? i'll just shock everybody else later on. i'll keep you posted. =)
