The Un-Me
I jogged (aka brisk walked) today! Now this is a feat for me. I think I’m slowly shedding off the Barbie of years past and emerging into a new, rejuvenated version - meet Barbara. Funny, when one client chose to call me this way. Now I think I’m gonna stick with it. Sounding more respectable, more universal woman. I like it.
So this is the un-me presenting itself. Voluntarily. So naturally, this is me now. Whether you all believe it or not. No MAJOR physical manifestation so far okay? I’m not getting my sexy back, YET. But there are pretty noticeable signs that geez, I AM GROWING UP!
Hear me out here.
1) I rarely go out to drink no more, once a wk tops. Or even 2 weeks without a drop of alcohol…(DIBA HELLOW??)
2) I used to blab a lot to people, strangers and be the life of the party. NOW i don’t always like to talk, I get tired of entertaining people ! (woah?) Sometimes I’d rather listen to the younger set make a fool of themselves as I stay amused watching them. (doesn’t mean i’ve turned into a big bore, BUT let’s just say I give the floor to somebody else when I can. My conversational skills are still exceptional, no doubt about that …hmm walang kokontra hehe)
3) I am showing my thoughtfulness MORE now, to people who mean a lot to me. Before I’d never be too mushy nor expressive to friends or family. Must be Jeanina’s presence and her brand of thoughtfulness that can be contagious.
4) I can stay home, 4 days straight. I have proven that and it doesn’t make me go crazy ANYMORE! Partly, thanks to technology.
5) I am watching my budget so much, I had to excel everything. Every peso counts!
I’m sure there are lots more, but these would have to do for now. And having a regular weekly “Fitness” routine is one of them! 
I just have to enjoy this ride, and wherever this will take me!
