Newness...
There are a lot of things in my life that are new since the last time I posted here... I suppose it's about time that I shared some of them with you.
I've been spending a lot of time with a new group of friends this semester. I'm really trying to be more outgoing and friendly and open to new people and new experiences because I feel like if I try to play it safe all the time, I turn into a really boring person, and who wants to be friends with someone boring anyway? In addition to that, I've stopped hanging out with the people who brought nothing but drama to my life and started chilling with people who bring a little more healthy fun.
As for more personal changes, I suppose the most obvious change is in the external. I've got really long hair now (longer than I've ever had it before) and I've got heavy bangs (in the style of Anne Curtis for the Filipino readers ... or Nelly Furtado for anyone else hahaha!) Without further ado, I give you a photo:
I've definitely also undergone a style change in the last little while... while I'm still wearing the jeans and the polos and looking like a prep and all that, I've made a real effort to be more feminine in my style, whether it be a little purse or something in my hair, a more feminine cut polo, slightly tighter or curvier jeans, cute shoes or something else. When I feel the need to make an impression, I've thrown on pretty little dresses with high high heels and strutted around looking smart and sexy. Basically, I feel like I know I don't have enough time or energy to look like Carrie from Sex and the City, but I'm still trying to look more presentable and professional. Also, just because it's quick and easy, it doesn't mean I can't still be a girlie girl.
Another major change that has taken place is that I've dropped the accounting major. Over the last couple of semesters, I've noticed that I haven't really been enjoying the classes that I've taken within the major. The subject matters don't particularly interest me and I feel it's a rather large waste of time since I never actually intend to do anything in the field of accounting. In any case, I have retained my philosophy major (which I ADORE), dropped the accounting major and picked up a business administration major. I'm a lot happier with what I'm doing now, especially since I find most of my classes really interesting.
I'm trying really hard to make a change in my diet as well. I've been avoiding fast food at all costs as of late, in an effort to be a little healthier. The problem is, I don't have a whole heck of a lot of time to sit around and make food or whatever and I'm not very good at all that anyway, so it's not like I'm intent on spending what little free time I do have to try and try and try to make things that may or may not end up being good. I've cut a lot of the carbs that I eat by not eating rice very often, and I've been eating smart white bread instead of regular white bread... supposedly it's whole wheat bread that tastes like white, so I'm pretty pleased. I also haven't been eating very late at night because that makes it tougher to digest, and I've been drinking lots of water and milk and juice and stuff as well. It's pretty great, actually... I don't have the time or energy or skill to do a proper diet, so I'm trying to get as close to one as I can.
I guess that's about it as far as changes go for now... who knows what else will change, or even how long the current changes will last... or how they will turn out. For now, I'm happy. Life is pretty great.
