I’m hitting two birds with one stone. Since I can’t possibly do 1000 Awesome Things because I’m not that patient and my attention span can only handle so much, I’m listing down awesome things the 30-day blog challenge way instead. ;)

30 Days of Awesome

I don’t know if you noticed it, but I’ve been practicing for the past 5 days (July 16-20), just to see if I can really post one blog a day. That’s how sigurista I can be sometimes. I want to make sure I won’t fail again, the way I dropped Project 365.

Oh you don’t have to point out that I wasn’t really successful in my 5-day trial, in case you checked, I know I missed a day. So maybe I can’t do it, maybe I’m a real failure when it comes to being consistent. However, the apprehensions only make me want to prove to myself even more that I can. Of course this is just 30 days, not 365. Besides, I managed to post one photo a day for 60 consecutive days anyway, so my hopes are high. I’ll do my utmost and breeze through these 30 days, the way she did.

“It takes 30 days to create a habit,” she keeps on saying. I think I’d like to see that for myself.

So I’m taking off my pessimist coat and putting on my happy, sunshiney self. For the next 30 days, I’ll be blogging and taking photos of (what I think are) awesome things. Wish me luck! :)

You don’t have to graduate from Seth Godin’s informal MBA Program to get the gist: “Go, make something happen.”

Today’s dose of inspiration is all in these four words by Seth Godin. Which reminds me, I gotta start making something happen, quick.

Also, some link love to end the week:

• Pretty printable freebie | Creature Comforts (I love freebies!)
• World spins madly on | Des <3 (You are sooo NOT inspirationless, girl!)
• Do what you love, love what you do | Miss B (Thanks for pointing me to this month-old post!)
• Less dreaming, more action | Meemae (My thoughts, exactly!)
• Sheila’s vintage clothes, Romantic Series | Inthefishbowl (Opens on Monday, 9PM!)

Lastly, that photograph above was a crappy shot I took with my point&shoot last week on the way to Tagaytay. Scrapbooking does wonders to photos, indeed. I really should start scrapbooking again. Thanks, Paislee Press, for the freebie.

Le sigh. So many things to do, so little time. I wish there’s a way to buy time.

Oh well, happy weekend, everyone! :)

Hi, I’m responding to this mini contest by Mariel not to win a Sharpie — because I want ALL OF THEM and Mariel only gives away one per person and it looks like I’ve already missed the cut anyway. I’m responding because I want to get her attention so she can answer my question: where did you buy all those Sharpies? :)

I looked around Office Warehouse and National Bookstore and did not find any. :-s

Anyway, to answer Mariel’s question, mine is post its. These are my most favorite office supplies, tied with Pilot G-techs. I’d die without these two. I used to fill my journal with post its, which is stupid, I know, I mean, why would you paste post-its on your journal when you can write directly on its pages anyway, right? I guess I really just like putting colors together. I’d collect them, enough to last me a lifetime, just because I like looking at them stacked up on my desk or arranged into a collage in my notebook.

I think I’ve gotten over that phase already, so now, I just mostly like how I can use them for practically anything! Grocery lists, to-do lists, love notes, gift tags, reminders, quotable quotes, recipes, bookmarks, etc. They’re something I’d like to have in my pocket or in my purse everywhere I go, I mean, you’ll never know when you’ll need something to get married with, right? (Yes, I still haven’t recovered from Meredith and Derek’s post-it wedding, deal with it.) Also, I think post its are really photogenic. :)

On a different note, this is my third post in, more or less, 24 hours. I wonder if I’m ready for a 30-day blog challenge too, like her. *thinks really hard*
