SINCE it's a long vacation indeed, I'm sure a lot of us are either spending each day glued in social media or committed in an all-day slumber. Good for you if you've planned an out-of-town trip with family or friends ahead of time, that I think is one of the best ways to wisely spend the holidays.
But if you are to stay at home and at the middle of the four walls of your room, being a bed potato all-day won't help! You are definitely wasting your precious time!
I have my own share of plans to go out with my friends and loved ones this Christmas break, but I guess most of my days will be spent at home. So basically, I don't want to put those minutes and hours to waste---I have to stay productive!
So let me share to you some of the stuff that I did for the past few days which made this long break, so far, worth it ^_^

Closet overhaul
I have this weird practice of rearranging my things in a certain manner. For example, I would love to hang my dresses according to their colors, so same colored dresses will go together. But whenever I'm in a hurry, I would always leave my closet as if a hurricane hit it! So before the start of the new year, I arranged my clothes and removed pieces which t I think I can already let go. More spaces means more clothes in 2016!

(If you're wondering where to put those pre-loved clothes of yours, well you can sell them through a garage sale or donate them. It will depend on your current situation ^_^)
Organizers to the rescue
All my stuff are always in a mess! Good thing I received some cute desk/shelves organizers as Christmas gifts from my students, I'll put them into good use this time! Moreover, my accessories can now breathe a sigh of relief as I rearrange them into neat organizers :)

Self-pampering
Well this is my favorite! Got some "me" time finally :) I cleaned and polished my nails, treated and dyed my hair, scrubbed and waxed my legs, and all other "kikay" rituals. You really don't need to avail those pricey skin / beauty treatments because everything can be done at home. You just need to be keen in researching for procedures which can be done by yourself or with the help of some of your girlfriends.

Blogging
I'm beyond happy because I was able to post regularly on my blog, this month of December. It was a struggle for me to give you updates for the past few months. My work is doing me no good when it comes to time management because everything seemed to be in a rush. But thank God I've had this long break from it, I don't even wanna go back! just kidding! :)
So we'll see this coming year, I guess I'll overcome this struggle finally, hopefully.

Read, Read and READ
I received two books as exchange gifts from the two Christmas party that I've attended. Plus, a classmate in grad school gave me some gift certificates worth 300 php! I immediately grabbed a copy of Heart Evangelista's beauty mag :) This is something I've placed at the dark corner of my room for a long time---reading. But for sure, I'll be reunited with my love for reading for the year 2016.

Desktop cleaning
Files everywhere! I did organized my files into folders for like two months ago, but here I am again, re-organizing. This is a must for me because as a teacher, student, part-time entrepreneur and blogger, I've got a lot of files in my laptop. It's also a good practice tho, you'll save a lot of time looking for needed files and you'll work in peace for sure if you have everything classified.

Crunches, Planks and Sit-ups!
I'm so addicted to exercising before I transferred to my new workplace. But my inner health-buff was put into deep sleep for several months of stressful workloads :( Now, it's time to revive those muscles and retire my holiday fats! But please, don't be too hard on yourself when exercising. Do it because you want to feel comfortable with your body and not because you want to achieve someone else's figure.
Reflecting
Yes. With a warm cup of green tea, I rested my bones in a couch and reminisced my past. You'll learn a lot from your past experiences, they'll make you avoid committing the same mistakes and push you towards self-renewal.
I love committing mistakes, they make me feel that, hey, I'm a human! haha! But good memories are to be treasured, they'll keep you going regardless of life's struggles.
*****************
I'm currently working on work-related things. I still need to prepare lesson plans, activities, tests and exams. I want to do things ahead of time because I'm currently into the last semester of my graduate studies and I need to focus more on it. Whew! It's been a blessed yet tough year for me, looking forward to a greater and more wonderful 2016 ^_^
It's better to do things ahead of time, instead of beating the deadline. (I just hope I can give myself lectures whenever I feel lazy, hahaha!)
Staying as positive and hopeful as always,
