I have a good net at home and in my workplace, but I ALWAYS NEED to be online.  One, it’s part of my job as a Social Media Specialist for TV5. Two, I just need to connect personally to check my emails and social media and blog comments as a blogger.  Three – early in 2010, I read an article in Inquirer about me and tagging me as a Social Media Princess.  I think I have to live up to that name

Being on the go and jet setting all the time doesn’t mean I can do my work and write blog entries!  Thanks to my gadgets powered by SMART!  I’m on prepaid so sometimes I choose my package depending on the work I’m doing.  If I’m traveling around the Philippines, I don’t rely on my hotel accommodation’s internet so I usually subscribe to SMART UNLISURF.  I bring my own so I don’t have any excuse to work, write and connect.  If I’m in the metro and I have internet at home and at work, but I need to check emails, tweets etc when I’m out to cover events I subscribe to ALWAYS ON.  Whatever your needs are connection wise, SMART has a lot of affordable packages to offer for you.

I’ve learned a lot living an independent life.  One of the tricks in life that I try to apply is “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff”  It’s actually from the book by Richard Carlson.  It’s all about simple ways to keep the little things from overtaking your life.

One of the best books I’ve ever read that really helped me a lot.

I guess to live life without regrets, you just have to LIVE MORE.

Regrets.  “Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves – regret for the past and fear of the future.” – Fulton Oursler

Some interesting read I found over the internet that I think is worth sharing to all of my readers.  Spread the positivity and love

2. Make your health and wellness a top priority and always take care of yourself so you’re ready to take care of others.

Live More.

I wouldn’t linger much on the intro just hit play now and listen to what it is.

ah yes, lovely… lovely…

It’s my mom’s influence.  I like her oldies playlist, it’s just soothing to the ears… and since I have two cellphones… listen to the ring tone of my other one…

Fallen – by Lauren Wood

Ah… yes… my mom’s favorite movie… Pretty Woman… and this is the OST.

I’m sorry but I can’t help but post this other video I have discovered as well.  I was in the process of looking for this song in youtube when I encountered this clip…

I know right, after watching, it would make you want to fall in love again… But before going all emotional… Isn’t that Fernando Jose? From the original Rosalinda?

Well, let me know if you have any idea if it’s him or something…

Jump to 1:00 and listen to the bad English “That I will lost without you…”  I thought I heard “That I will LUST without you” at first LOL…

anyway, I’m just playin’ with my writing tonight…  This is just a de-stressing, free-writing post…

I’m retiring to bed now… with a lovely Last Song Syndrom… Sweet Dreams everyone!
