Time for a Break

When you start dreaming that you're still working at work, it's time for a break. This is nothing against what I'm doing right now. It's just a simple fact for me. I'm in too deep with work, and it's just starting to become a powerful drain on my mental and emotional side.


I'm not yet an emotional wreck, and I hope I never end up as one. But I need a vacation. Thankfully that part has already been planned for the past few months.


I cannot wait.

More Car Madness

There's a new car I really want. It's the new Prius C Four. It's basically a hybrid Toyota Yaris. If I'm not mistaken, the Prius C is the smallest Prius being offered by Toyota in the United States. The Four means it's the top-of-the-line model.

Why this car? Well, it's quite a simple answer. It's a hybrid, and it's a perfect city car. It's not that big, it looks spacious enough inside to fit me, my wife, my baby, and her nanny for our weekend trips, it has folding rear seats in case we have a lot of stuff to carry around, and being a hybrid it would actually encourage me to drive smarter and more practical. Yes, the ground clearance isn't as high as I'd like it to be for the Metro Manila streets, but it's not as if I can actually own one right now here in the Philippines.

First of all, it's not being sold here (yet?). Second, I don't make enough to be able to afford a brand new car. And finally, even if I had money to get one, it's not my priority (a place to call my own would be on top).

I've watched a couple of reviews of the Prius C online, and I've read my fair share of reviews too. And all I can say is, this car would be perfect for me. I enjoy the challenge of maximizing the fuel in the tank. I don't like driving my car like I'm on a death race versus Michael Schumacher. And I've always had a soft spot for "small" cars.

Out.

Positivity

It's still so hard to maintain a positive attitude. I can't even stay positive while driving, as my road rage still takes control of my thoughts and my mouth. Thankfully it doesn't overwhelm how I drive, so yes I'm still a relatively "slow" driver who likes to maintain enough space with cars in front and all that stuff.


But to be quite honest, I am feeling a lot more positive now than I was, say, a year ago. Things have changed and I have brightened my outlook on life. Has it made a difference? Well, in some ways, yes. But in other things, no. Which isn't really that bad because at least things have changed in one way or another.


Now I have to learn how to let go. Maybe once I learn to let go of things, whatever they may be, I can be even more positive. All I need is a conscious and continuous effort on my part.
