back to the grind

after every adventure, i know i must snap myself back to reality. responsibilities await and i have to work my ass off to be able to travel and of course, shop excessively again. i never thought i would say this but after that 5-day shopping stint in Bangkok, i have to admit that i found myself to be such a shopaholic. 

it's a holiday in the Philippines today as we celebrate the end of Ramadan. although i'm a Christian, our country does consist of a significant percentage of Muslim people and respecting that is one good step to attaining peace here. anyway, i was totally preparing myself to write the articles that have been waiting for me since i arrived but after 5 hours in front of the computer, i just couldn't bring myself to do so. don't get me wrong, i love writing but i've sort of been drained of motivation to write. writing these articles would mean extra moolah for me and i don't understand why i can't just write a few 300-word articles. (you need to set your priorities, Gizelle!)
