simple serendipity: March

March has been ridiculously mad - and by mad, I mean mad madness!

Singapore-Jakarta-Singapore-Manila-Pamgpanga in 3 days!
Destination Love: S & T's funtimes wedding weekend in Pampanga
BBQ + night out dancing to old school tunes
Manila again for R's graduation
Watching a great production with my siblings & tita + seeing L, M, J & A
Warhol Exhibit + movie night with J & M
Drowning in work + days running on 1-3 hours of sleep

It's been a mixed month - always happy and grateful for opportunity to travel and see family and friends, but reality and expectations at and from home can also be draining and stressful. Excited to be learning about new things at work, but accelerated growing of a never ending to do list is keeping me from enjoying it. Thankful for opportunities and the luxury to do different things on the weekends, but takes away from hours I could be resting! Especially since I really have had sh*t sleep recently!

So all in all I'm pretty darn tired.

27 days left till I leave my 20s (sheeeet) and enter my 30s. I'm getting down to basics and focusing on me:

Prepping for 2 upcoming trips in April - so they'll be more enjoyable than stressful
Fixing how I run my day - which means upping productivity at work, getting appropriate amounts of sleep and scheduling in time to exercise
Streamlining my finances so I can get out of debt sooner rather than later and get around to saving for me and my future

Ok well - reading that list again, parang that's my focus talaga this year and not just these last few day of being 29. But ya, you get the point - I think i've reached my peak stress levels this quarter so I need to dial it back. April doesn't look to be slowing down with the things that need to happen, but I'm hoping I can take it in stride, instead of being such a schlumpy and grumpy me!
