Brightside Entry | The List!

Hi, everyone! :) Today was a pretty good day--I attended my review for Organic Chemistry and have a lot less studying to do than I originally figured; about two hours a day this weekend will do so yay! I have room for a life! :)

When times get busy, one of the things I like to do is make lists to help get organized. My friend Trish (not Trizh, Trish--yes, it can be confusing if you don't know them) is an expert at this so I'm really just taking notes (see what I did there) from her. :)

But, yeah! I thought I'd share a couple of the items on this list with ya'll, so as to give you a heads up about what to expect on this blog. I've come up with quite a couple of these lists, and I'm going to start accomplishing them ASAP! I had lunch with a good friend of mine and we were talking about the phenomena of self-employment and how the most difficult thing about it is keeping motivated and making a schedule for yourself (whereas regular work would have it all spelled out for you) and so I'm really trying to get myself geared up for the coming weeks. June's just flown by and before we know it, it'll be July! Time is of the essence indeed!

Things To DEFINITELY Do:

Throw A Girly Get-Together At Least Once A Month

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you'll know that four of my closest girl friends and I (Marz, Joy, Trish, Me) hardly see each other these days, whereas we used to be inseparable. We used to get together every week; we'd spend the night drinking lots of wine (or brandy, depending on how much money we had), eating quesadillas and (on one occassion) preparing for a possible crisis of the Zombie type (we took turns climbing in and out of our friend Mitch's old Kia Pride). But upon the advent of this blog, Joy's fluctuating schedule, Trish's job hunting, Marz's career turn-around and well, adult life in general, these gatherings have dwindled to once a month if we're lucky. But yeah! I am solemnly swearing to have one of these things at least once a month. :) I've really been amping up my cocktail-making abilities, so I'm definitely going to do a lot of How Tos on that (especially now that my stomach's better heehee).

Amp Up the DIY Posts

I should do more How To posts--because I realize, I DIY things more often than I should. I'm always faux-fixing things and cutting up old sweaters and that type of thing but I always get lazy to share these endeavors. 

Organize My Closet

Self-explanatory

Go On More Adventures

I haven't been out thrifting in ages. I haven't gone out to a gig and seen my favorite bands play in almost a year, either. While this makes me sad, I suppose that part of growing up is being more responsible and while I can't do that type of stuff twice a week anymore, I'm going to try and go to something--an exhibit, a book launch, a gig--at least once a month. :)

Be More Organized

I realize that a lot of the time I'll come home and post up the first thing on my mind--I suppose that's great for spontaneity but it can also be extremely counter-productive. Sometimes most of my posts are bulked toward one day in the week and there isn't a lot of traffic on here on a couple of days. So yeah, I'm going to probably be doing 2-3 posts a day from now on, of different varieties.

Celebrate!

There's always something to celebrate, and while I suppose these Brightside Entries sort of do the trick already, I definitely want to celebrate something--a birthday, an anniversary, what have you--on here every month. :) For the month of June, I'm going to do a post on Marz & I's 10-year bestfriendsary! We're having breakfast tomorrow at McDonald's (because that is where your friendships are forged at 11 years of age, yes) and doing some catching up. :) I'll definitely post about that. And yeah, more things to come soon!

Organize Giveaways!

As my winners know, I sent the parcels for the past giveaways very late, and I do apologize for that. It was partly the weather and partly my terrible health to blame--I'd been in and out of Doctor's offices and wasn't able to get it to the courier sooner and when I did, there were some problems because of the weather and the branch of the courier near my place (Alabang). But yeah, I'm going to be more organized about these things and will be prompt going about things, definitely. :) I'm going to post up a new giveaway with Price Tag tomorrow as well, so watch out for that. ;)

And that's it for now! :D Have a happy weekend, everyone! TGIF!

P.S. I've decided to move most of my Day In The Life Challenge entries to YouTube so as to get more organized. :D Kindly subscribe to my channel here, if you're interested.
