I am strong enough to say no.

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

This is my challenge to myself. I have never considered myself weak nor do I know anyone who would call me weak. I don’t have the ultra strong personality of Kris Aquino but I have a personality. And it is strong enough to withstand friendships with out-of-this-world men and women. I am physically strong, I used to panda carry both Joann and Jon at the same time; And I commute with lotsa luggage almost on a weekly basis.

But.

I have to say after an eye gouging session with myself in a friend’s guest room. My biggest realization is that I don’t have a strong will at least not strong enough to say NO to all things evil.

But.

I cannot live with that. I am strong. I have to be strong. Since I’m trying to take charge of my life, my career, my heart, I now carry a new motto.

NO THANKS…

          to an extra helping of rice

          to rice period (except brown rice)

          to refined carbohydrates

         to all my little cravings like butchi, siopao, coffee, etc.

          to a cig

          to a ‘social’ smoke

          to a puff

          to a bottle of SMB light

          to beer but not to alcohol entirely

Wish me luck. But please… NO pressure.
