Failing and Succeeding

Finally had the courage to ride in jeepneys again. I somewhat developed a sudden fear of jeepneys after that encounter with the perv guy. But now, I guess, I'm finally trying to face my fears. Hooray to me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really suck at fulfilling my resolutions. I just had my third cup of Starbucks coffee and it's only march 10! (*read Resolutions ) I saw this coming. Ever since the first time I tried on these resolutions thing, I never ended up fulfilling any one of them. I should have known better. But, I guess, it's still too early to say. Maybe next month I will be able to hold back my coffee addiction… just maybe…

It's the weekend again and I'm looking forward to going back to elbi. I miss my friends there!
