I have been spending hours looking at baraka jewelry. It seems like I’ve been doing a lot of online shopping the past few weeks. Books, cosmetics, etc. I buy most of it online now.

Thank heavens for the wonderful invention called e-commerce.

It has its disadvantages though. It isn’t instant – you have to wait a few days for shipping. But it’s worth not having to mess up a good schedule and just click-click-clicking away.

After much thought, I’ve decided that I need a pair of reading glasses. Or computer glasses.

Or I need to see an optometrist. Or an ophthalmologist.

Dangit, I just need to get rid of these bad headaches that occur when I try to read or use the computer for extended amounts of time. Never mind that I’m sure I’d look ridiculous with glasses.

Any recommendations?

This year, we’re finally opening up our home to friends. I’ve been looking at gifts for new home because people keep asking me what they should bring for the new house. Seems they’re excited to see it.

This is going to be such an awesome year, I can just feel it in my bones. I’m looking forward to so many new things, new experiences, new friendships.

One of my goals this year is to be able to survive camping.

Camping has never been an appealing activity for me, because I cannot live without running water, flush mechanisms on toilet bowls, and electricity. But it’s something I want to accomplish.

Plus, lots of camping gear look stylish, like Big Agnes Sleeping Bags.

I hope to be able to commune with nature without going crazy this year. Camping in Anawangin, anyone?

I would start a shirt company.

I’ve always wanted to print witty statement shirts and funny t shirts. I myself don’t wear t-shirts often, but witty and funny shirts always catch my eye.

I’m currently an independent dealer of a cosmetics company – I like organic products and makeup, don’t look at me like that – but I would like to venture into the shirt business in the future. It has always been my dream to own a shirt company – and a gaming cafe.

I’m thinking about getting a modular vanity for my bathroom. I’m a bathroom cleanliness freak. My bedroom is a total mess, but my bathroom is always squeaky clean. It’s a weird obsession that I embrace wholeheartedly.

I’m making a list of things that I need in my bathroom. I already have a towel rack, a toothbrush organizer, but I want a new laundry hamper.

I like clean bathrooms, what can I say?

The thing about getting a custom mattress is that you don’t ever want to leave bed. Last night I dreamed about cakes, ice cream, mango tarts, and other scrumptious desserts that I can’t have for the rest of the week.

It was delightful. I am officially a masochist for anticipating these dreams, and I probably need psychiatric treatment for this.

Tell me, why is it so cold today?! Why wasn’t it cold in December? I think I need electric blankets or something. I am currently wearing a turtleneck and I am freezing. Is it time to start wearing layers? And gloves or mittens? I don’t like wearing things that will slow down my typing.

I think it’s going to get even colder tonight. 2012, why you be lyk dis?

This is something that I need to constantly remind myself of: it’s 2012. When I’m writing dates on journal entries, when I’m writing dates on bank withdrawal and deposit slips, basically every time I need to write down the year. It’s 2012. Not 2011. It’s kinda easy to forget. It’s like buying a yoga mat.

It’s 2012, Lexie. Just remember, so your checks don’t end up bouncing.

I am the master of distraction. And I don’t mean that I’m great at distracting people. I’m just awesome at getting distracted.

Like today, I was working, and suddenly I started thinking about chicken curry, nutella, gelato, and soup. Mmm, soup. Never mind that I’m supposed to be fasting.

Maybe next time I’ll end up thinking about non-appetizing things like Materials Manager Jobs.

Note to self: resist distraction.
