New year is like a new blank book

Books for my beach holiday

As we are gonna spend four days and three nights in an island, I made sure I have books to read. So happy to have found these very cheap second hand books, 39.00 pesos each (less than a dollar). I find pleasure in reading - it transports me to another world, relaxes my mind and it is a relief from all the day's stress.

And my husband is happy because when I read, he can have the ipad all by himself :) 

I finished recently  the first book of Dave Pelzer's threelogy (A child called "It"- which is his story as an abused child). It was so beautful I finished it in one night. I'm currently looking for the next two. 

Also, just the other night, I finished "Man, Woman and Child" by Erich Segal and I cried a bucket of tears, I even woke up my husband in an ungodly hour and he was like "why are you crying?" hahaha!!

Oh well, books are love :) and I am so glad that despite the busyness of this season I still have time to read.

Christmas Countdown

Beach Holiday in December

Definitely on my list of to do this December. It's year end, it's the only calendar that  I can have the time to  go for a holiday and take that very much needed rest.

Unfortunately, I am still undecided where to go, but here are my top three choices. Pictures not mine but am  so looking forward to having my own picture of these beautiful Philippine beaches someday soon!

1. CALAGUAS ISLAND- located in Camarines Norte.

2. ROMBLON ISLANDS-

3. BANTAYAN ISLAND IN CEBU

I know you will all agree with me, that these beaches are beautiful right? Maybe this snoring pillow from cityofsleep.com will be of good use here as I can sleep and relax here all day long :)

Now, where to this December for me and hubs? For the three.. Romblon would be easiest and I'm leaning on that but let's wait and see.

Have a bright day ahead everyone!!

Thankful :)

Today I will choose to give thanks because it makes everything lighter and yes because it's thanksgiving month :D

I am grateful for:

1. the skype chat with our very dear friends in Florida last night, it was so heartwarming to be able to celebrate our friend's birthday together despite the distance. Thank you for the internet and skype!

2. A new set of make -up. I decided to buy one after a veeeery long time. Not expensive one but it's nice to have something when you need it.

3. Lastly, I am thankful for the weekend spent with my husband at home. Very seldom that we have the house for ourselves so I am grateful for that opportunity :)

So there!! I hope everyone will have a thankful heart and a may we all have a very good week!!

My birthmonth

according to this site which I picked up from facebook.

Not that I believe everything but I agree with some of it, specially being moody :)

Thanksgiving month

I know, November thanksgiving is only for the US of A but I want to do it here in my rocksdaily blog too. Being thankful makes a life a lot easier, sometimes I do tend to look at the negative sides, to things I don't have but when you start to give thanks and think of things that you enjoy, burdens become lighter.

So this month, I'll choose to give thanks, whether I do it daily, weekly or every other day or any day I want, it's up to me :) after all this is my blog..hehe!

Today, I am thankful that I am able to come to office way much earlier than my usual, meaning I AM NOT LATE for two days in a row now, that has some domino effect eh, because I came earlier, I was able to do more office work and most importantly I was able to go home early too :) I know it's not everyday that I can do this but I'm hoping this will be my new normal.

Are you thankful today? I hope you are, it makes a difference.

Happy Monday everyone and may you all have a wonderful week!
