To celebrate and respect our world oceans and seas

Living near the sea for the past six years, I discovered how important and vital our oceans and seas are to us. Being an asphalt flower most of my life, I was unaware of the extent of influence they have on us and on our planet.

Not only will I be changing my avatar for a week, but I will be aware that every action I take this week reflects the respect and care we should have for our oceans. Thus, by taking on this conscious endeavor, it will live on for the rest of the year and the rest of my life.

Postponed

Realistically, I won’t be able to do it this year. I’m just giving it up for now, not forever. I’ll leave it in my queue for now.

Placed a hold in the library

Spring is almost over, and the weather has been gorgeous… and I have this lingering goal in my 43things that I really want to accomplish.

So I took a look at the library’s webpage, and it came up with at least a dozen books on kite making. So I’m starting with one: Best ever paper kites.

Well, that’s a start :)

E-footprint

I've lost email accounts in the past because I didn't check in often enough. But I somehow sense that they're "standing by" waiting for me to reopen them. I would like to close them all for good.

My biggest problem, though, is that I'm signed up for a ton of newsletters that I seldom read, and I'm in a couple of groups/forums that the amount of email just piles up by the day! And then I see that I still have emails from previous jobs, and they're duplicate and triplicate!! ::sigh::

Do you ever have the feeling that you sign up for a bunch of stuff (email and others) and then you don't use them? Or that you have to register for many websites that you never come back to? It's like leaving a huge e-footprint - LOL!!

I need to do some serious e-spring cleaning ;)

Log week 1

My first week of logging my water intake was as follows:

• day 1 = 1.9 liters
• day 2 = 1.6 liters
• day 3 = 1.6 liters
• day 4 = 2.5 liters
• day 5 = 1.3 liters
• day 6 = 1.3 liters
• day 7 = 2.0 liters

Though I haven’t been very consistent on the quantity, I have been in drinking more water than I used to, and also I’ve been logging every glass I drink.

I plan to continue logging everything for another 2 weeks to aim to drink at least 2 liters a day but with a target goal of 2.5 liters.

Challenge

I’m tackling this goal first as part of my undertaking of organizing my mac.

As of today, I have a total of 32,381 emails!!! They’re taking up space, and worse, they’re taking precious brain resources and stress of “pending” things to do.

So I’ve challenged myself to sort them out. Throw out most and keep the ones that are important either personally or for reference. If I don’t finish by July 15th, I’ll just throw out every unchecked email, so they don’t overwhelm me.

How Palacio de Bellas Artes changed my life

The magnificence and beauty of its architecture, the details, and even the elaborate and gorgeous stage curtain blew me away.

Not only was I very sensitive to it, but this was just the preamble to what I was going to experience: my first time to the opera, and it was The Traviata. I am unable to express the overwhelming feeling I had, yet when so much beauty surrounds you and touches all your senses, you might as well let it all in and let it flow :)
