One paper-full day

I tried to organize my things today only to find out what I value most in the past year.

My stuff comprised of papers … papers … and more papers …arrgh!

I opened a drawer - paper.

I opened a box – paper.

I opened a bag – paper.

Everywhere there’s paper in varied forms. Magazines, flight bookings, tour guides, museum info, concert tickets, lessons, quizzes, bills, letters, notes, cards, envelopes, photos and books. All paper products. You name it I have it except for paper roses.

I can’t believe I’ve accumulated a lot of them in such a short time! Err, okay months and months and months.

Now is the time to get rid of them. Well, some.

There are some papers I still want to keep for future reference while some are for review in the next few days. Others are for recycling. The rest are now in the trash. I’ve already used two overflowing regular-sized trash bins.

I wonder if I do the same thing with my email accounts and My Documents in the computers – for both desktop and laptop. I am sure I’ll be amused of what I’ll discover, too.

But one day isn’t enough to review all those stuff. Just like now, I’m taking my break from the clutter before going back to paper sorting again.

Nevertheless, I promised myself that I will really have to do away with some of the unnecessary paper products, and next will be my emails and other doc files.

What’s my goal? A spick and span sight with an uncluttered mind.

Hey, how are you? Still filled with paperworks? Don't throw away your papers, compile them for future references. You can never tell when they might be useful to you again.

One Mini-Series Film

I have never imagined myself to be so enamored by a TV mini-series until watching Seeking Persephone. I came across SP through a platform which has been showing snippets from the film in my social media reels. Out of curiosity, I told myself I might just watch it to give myself a break.  At first, I thought it was just a one-time movie but after realizing it was a mini-series, I convinced myself to give its first episode a try. Well, as it turned out, I watched the entire movie in one sitting to finish all four episodes in less than four hours! And the truth is, I still can't get over it after binge watching it. Since then, I've been hooked! I've rewatched it over and over again for the nth time --- yes, nth because I've lost count on the number of times I've seen it considering that I just recently joined the bandwagon almost three weeks ago, to be exact. After rewatching it, I could see more nuances and have been connecting the dots to unfold the hidden emotions ...

One April month

It was a one-of-a-kind trip cycle , if there’s such a phrase as that as my good-natured Filipina friend and I flew down to South Florida from the Northeast. We went around the place by land. Then we crossed the sea on board a cruise ship to Bahamas. We went back to Florida on cruise, toured the city by land again before heading back home by plane. It all happened in three different places for seven nights and eight days. One nature tripping day Our trip to Ft. Lauderdale, FL last April 14-17 was mostly spent on nature tripping. My friend and I went to a fishing port somewhere in Palm Beach Shore; we had a chance to see different kinds and sizes of fishes in the open sea aquarium while looking at them from the boardwalk. The experience was like snorkeling without getting wet or seeing them in a glass bottom boat minus the boat ride. There were fishing boats for rent and a lot of yachts on deck. There was even a family of four who went out fishing and came back with different sizes of k...

New York City

Image
When I think of NYC, it reminds me of soaring skyscrapers, the musicals in Broadway, the solid Statue of Liberty, the historic Ellis Island, the verdant Central Park, the blinking lights at Time Square, the memorable Empire State, the American heritage Hudson River, the financial districts of Wall Street, the diversed people hustling and bustling in broad day light, the blowing of horns in busy streets, the colorful and dancing lights at night, to name a few. There seems to be endless activities going on 24/7! No wonder it is well-known as the City that Never Sleeps.
