Always An Almost

“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.”

— Theodore Isaac Rubin

10.24.17 | 6/100 Day 6 of 100 Days of Productivity: Went to the University today and gathered additional sources for my thesis. I didn't work out this morning but the walking around campus kind of made up for it. Grabbed a Subway sandwich for brunch and the must-try tapsilog from Rodic's before I went home. I have a lot to read for the night 📖🤓 I got this 💪🏼

selfie selfie selfie I am actually not liking my skin for the past months because of the breakouts I've been having that reflects in almost all of the recent photos I take of myself. These however were made decent enough by the filter so 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️But still, I'm working on clearing up my skin because I badly want to go back to my old face. Hopefully my skincare regimen pays off 🤞🏼

Orthodoxy means not thinking - not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.

10.19.17 | 5/100 Wow I've been skipping a looot of days. Today I just worked at home but I felt good 💁🏻 Also, I started drinking water infused with lemon and cucumber for detox 💦

[thealwaysalmost]

10.17.17 | 4/100 Been having a lot of break days lately and I gotta grind 👊🏼 The frustration is already getting to me when I seem to accomplish nothing despite my efforts. Gotta try harder.

10.11.17 | 3/100

Yesterday was more like a break for me althooough I really tried to work on my thesis once I got back home. But I guess the travel from the facial and back got to me so I wasn’t really able to accomplish anything.

Today I went out to work again but somehow even the coffee milk tea wasn’t enough 🤦🏻‍♀️

10.10.17 | 2/100

I got my first ever facial! This was in DermHQ in Makati. After, I did some groceries and went home to writing again 👊🏼

10.09.17 | 1/100 I started my 100 Days of Productivity since the 9th and how "productive" of me to only post my photo-documentation of it now (it's already the 22nd of the month) 🤦🏻‍♀️ Haha but in my defense, I initially planned on just collecting it in one of my Evernote notebooks and that's what I've been doing. Since I don't have anything to put in here, might as well post these 💁🏻 Day 1 of 100: Getting myself to write my thesis again. It's been difficult for me to get to it because this is the only thing I'm supposed to do for the year. (It's a long story 🙍🏻) To more productive days ahead! 👊🏼

A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

So I just finished this book yesterday, and rewatched the 2005 film adaptation of it. I learned much about man’s behavior and the society he lives in.
