finance for the leo
for months i have tried to live a frugal life. with close to a teeny-tiny progress. i am proud of myself. however, i have recently learned that frugality and leos do not mix well. “frugality” cannot be found anywhere in my name! 
so… there are some solutions to this little dilemma as finances provide the biggest problems in my life… it could be that i could continue to live my life with an ounce of frugality, or probably forget being frugal all in all. i am not too keen about this as i am somewhat reformed and i dream of being at least 80% frugal.
there is another option, though, i think it would be best if i strive harder and earn more – without risking my family for it. maybe i could own a company..! then i would have millions to spend! bwahahahahaha!!! just kidding…
anyway.. an article for the hungry… i refer you to an article i found..
must… not… talk…
I CANTTTTTTT!!!!! I wish I could really go on without talking, but a girl does need to use the tanks of saliva that would eventually stink if she does not use it, doesn’t she? so anyway, I am going to talk.. and talk I wil.
anyway, I found some pictures as I was snooping around. I might as well post them in my hopes of becoming a camwhore. wakekeke.. just kidding. no, I havent taken a picture of me in my red headband yet. soon.. very soon. 
so here it goes..

~~
okay, so I have had enough pictures for a day… mwah! hehehe latez!!
grapevine shnapvine… read my lips: s h u t u p!
I give up! I will no longer open my mouth and produce a single syllable for the rest of the day. I shall only grunt and nod when appropriate. aside from those two, I have nothing more to say.
well, nothing is new. what’s new about that? I refuse to talk about the amazing things that happened today because there is absolutely no change in the monotonous life that is mine. of course, I do not find it so dragging since I hardly notice a minute going by. engrossed in my work as I am, I have tried to engage in small talk, banters, and a bit of kidding around with my colleagues. yet, somehow as of this hour I no longer feel like talking anymore.
the main reason for my sudden change in disposition is the shallow demeanor of somebody else. honestly! if you were the one who normally makes fun of others or puts others down, shouldn’t you be ready in case somebody else does it to you? or maybe not… but really!! I know I am sometimes a motormouth and when I start yapping, I often cannot help but be frank and joke around. I am so sorry if you do not find it to your liking, I had assumed you would brush it off since you make it a habit of treating people that way. oh well..
I rest my case… I truly feel sorry if I have hurt your feelings as it was not my intention.
and for that.. I shall try my best to be quiet for the rest of the 8 hours I am destined to work for today.
i [is] dumbstruck
welpz, i wore my red headband today. no, it is not friday yet. still, i wanted to try it out. sadly, my CP is running low on battery so i am currently unable to take a portrait of me. maybe tomorrow as i still plan to wear the hair accessory.
dhirrac says i look pretty. it makes me smile from ear to ear. :blush: thanks! mwah!
nothing is happening right now aside from me tapping on keys as though there is no tomorrow in my attempt to write out thoughts and ideas. sadly, the nothingness is rolling out – NOTHING.

what can one comment about inmates who do everything simply to climb ladders easily? can one saw off the ladder – given that he is above them? or does one light a blazing fire underneath? then again, the inmate would only climb faster.
i cannot do anything but sit still… keep quiet, and mind my own business. inasmuch as it kills me that the task overloads are thrown on my horse, i cannot complain. it does not matter. i think cowardice is a sign of inferior quality and character. call me mean, arrogant, or whatsoever, but i have learned that obstacles and hard tasks prep you for the even harder ones. anyway, when you hone your skills with difficult tasks, the easier ones seem so easy once you finally get to try them.

like a skilled ninja such as my idol Leonardo (see TMNT), i believe that hard work, persistence, and mastery can make you into a better person. “HAIIII YAH!!!!!!!!!”

my, my, my HORRORscope
have you read your horoscope today?
mine reads [this is for this week though]:
This week money is tight for everyone including you but by next week it begins to loosen up and slowly get better. This is not the time to make changes or to start any new projects. You will have to wait until at least the second week in August for that. Any parties or meetings you attend now seem to be boring, dull and a waste of you good free time.
teehee… even now i can say it’s true! well, yeah.. sort of.
i have often wondered about my zodiac sign, the lion. see, the characteristics of the lion seem so glorious to me. these are things that i have not seen in myself save for one or two little details.
now, as i have seen, people who are comfortable with their personalities, and themselves often reflect the characteristics often cited in their zodiac descriptions. i know that these things are not meant to dictate your life, but only as references and possibilities. in my current state, i keep wondering, maybe i should emulate some of the things a leo is meant to be…? maybe i would be my happiest if i were to be a true leo…? or could it be that sometimes i do show those characteristics, its just that i may not have noticed it. there is no harm in trying… so i think i just might accept the characteristics described and simply try to be myself. we’ll see if it does make me a better ME.

anyway.. here is a sample of what a Leo should be. Plust a little of this and that.
Leo Characteristics
Leos are like lions: energetic, free, and independent. Leos likes to get things done. They are excellent leaders because of their authoritative and confident character. They are very loyal to other people, even to their enemies. They like to socialize and give away presents. They like to buy fancy items. Leos like to get the attention of others. They can do many different jobs and learn easily. They always follow their principles so it is very unlikely to be surprised by a Leo. They also like children and are good entertainers. Leo is ruled by the Sun. Leos are optimist because of their strong confidence in themselves. Leos are good leaders, managers, performers and negotiators.
Leo colors: ocher, golden
Leo stones: yellow topaz, ruby, tiger’s eye
Leo plants: sunflower, lavender
