Sitting on my shelf is a new book that I bought on sale last Saturday at National Bookstore. It was a great deal for only Php 250. This must have originally been sold at Php 1,167. It's a 381-page pink covered book. It's called The Modern Girl's Guide to Life by Jane Buckingham. It's a Mod-Girl Survival Kit. I'm earnestly finding time to sit down and read through it.
This is the life guide that I need most especially now that I'm interested in so many things. The book talks about:
The only thing you should ever fake ... being a domestic goddess
Hot hair hints
Make up tricks for busy chicks
Treating your body right
Your cheat sheet for fabulous entertaining
Modern girl personal finance 101
When a modern girl makes a major purchase
How to land your dream job - I think I already found what I'm passionate about.
How to score points with your boss
Outsmarting nightmare bosses
How to be an electronics whiz
How to change a tire in stilettos
Painting: The easiest and cheapest way to transform your pad
Building a modern girl wardrobe
Buying lingerie that looks classy, not trashy
The Diva's guide to using a power drill
Zen and the art of bathroom maintenance
Keeping your bedroom blissful
How to fold a fitted sheet
These are just a few of the things I read on the front and back covers. I'm at this stage in my life when I want to better manage myself, have a business and at the same be ... umm ... domesticated (yes I want to be one). I don't know how these exactly go together in my so called life but I do want them to jibe. When I go back to work soon, I want to better manage my personal finances and I want to have a financial goal this time around. I have so many things on my mind and MBA is still not one of those. I do intend to continue taking classes to learn different things - food styling, culinary, photography and the list just goes on and on.
I'm absorbing as much as I can at this point. I want to be a better person and it's a matter of prioritizing what I want to learn. I still have my eyes on my goal - to make my family business succeed. I'm bent to take it to the next level and that's one of my goals as a modern day girl.

I remember how devastated you were when your underwear came out pink. We said a prayer before you laid it down to rest permanently. Now you can re stock.
Walang hiya yang washing machine na yan. Hot pink yung underwear ko tapos pag labas ng dryer naging baby pink. Hay kakalungkot. Nami miss ko sya. Hahaha.
