Let small problems remain small.

Note to self:

Question: How do you react to problems?  Try to think of a current problem now and then look at the bigger picture of life.  Ask yourself: Will this problem matter twenty years from now?

Let small problems remain small.

-Bo Sanchez

Oh the memories. I remember hanging out at the STC grade school library and reading this book out loud with a friend, giggling over every page. Tongue twisters are the best. :)

The Five Laws of Money

Watched a video of a Suze Orman talk during class yesterday and she really inspired me to take control of my finances. Oh, the world of adulthood. =/ Sharing below the notes that I took with my new phone (finally got a new one! my old phone was dying...) It all makes better sense when she explains it, so if you're curious, do yourself a favor and look her up on YouTube:)

How Long Will I Love You

In the history of my life, THIS, I think, is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It's on the soundtrack of the Richard Curtis movie "About Time" (now in my unwritten list of favorite movies). A Thousand Years what?!? hahaha I found the perfect wedding song. *tears*

How long will I love you
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan

How long will I be with you
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash up on the sand

How long will I want you
As long as you want me to
And longer by far
How long will I hold you
As long as your father told you
As long as you can

How long will I give to you
As long as I live through you
However long you say

How long will I love you
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may

[Spoken:]
We're all traveling through time together
Every day of our lives
All we can do is do our best
To relish this remarkable ride

Dream Diary: The Yarn-furred, Two-headed, Koala Cat

Strange dream last night.

1. There's this English teacher I don't like. Somewhat snotty but chic and pretty. With really short hair.
2. She knows my brother and noted he does well in her class.
3. My friend Karla told me she bought the "cat" I took a photo with at some bookstore. Oh wait, before that... She complained that we weren't doing anything substantial in class (we were playing some memory game on the big computer screen) and walked out, leaving a message about how horribly the teacher was conducting the class. She came back bringing food. We ate. She gave me a pack just for myself. It was some sort of baked product. In my pack of little caramel bars in extra small cubes, there was a huge slice of some cake. I got it. I offered my teacher some, she took the whole pack and said she needed it because she was going grocery shopping. I don't know, she's gonna eat it while doing her groceries? I was so mad.I really liked those caramel thingies.
4. Back to the cat story... Karla told me she brought the cat and would I like to see it? I said yes.
5. Cat was in a shoe box, looking a bit scary. It looked more like a koala, not a cat. And the surprise was... It had two heads. the koala-like head split into 2. Cool. Its fur was something like yarn. Seriously.
5. I was so jealous of the yarn-furred, double headed, koala-like cat.
6. Went to eat at a carinderia. We wanted to check out something so we left our bags. Stupid me left my wallet and phone as well.
7. I panicked when I realized I left my phone. It's brand new and I haven't paid for it in full yet!
8. Saw a little girl holding my phone and wallet. I grabbed it from her, with a bit of difficulty, and hit her head (gently, I swear).
9. So happy I didn't lose my phone. I really love it.
10. Teachers saw what I did. I worried about my reputation. Lol

That's it. Highlight was definitely the cat. I woke up to relief that my phone was okay.hehe

P.S. The cat thing might be an effect of reading Murakami.
