Recent Addictions

A hardcore addict.

That probably is the most apt term to describe me now. I am struggling from multiple addictions which prevent me from doing serious work.

My recent obsession is traveling to China.

Every night, I dream of the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square. In the morning, I'd look for hotel accommodations in Beijing and Shanghai. On the side, I'm also busy with completing all the requirements for my Chinese Visa. I'm still waiting for my passport though. I am scheduled to appear at the DFA on June 11. Nothing could make me happier now than getting my first passport. I'm having a hard time proving my Filipino citizenship so I've never been outside the Philippines before. I hope it's already August.

Hoarding books has been my lifetime struggle. I order books online and in bookshops and don't read them until after several years. I've always loved jam-packed book shelves. Mine's not so crowded yet and I'm working on that.

Beauty. It drives me crazy. It costs so much money to have a fairer and smoother skin and to lose significant weight. I don't think I need it but I can't bear the discontent when I look into the mirror.

How mundane and petty right? I know I should think about the more important things in life. I hope to get over with these addictions soon and to move on to things that really matter.
