Last week's list and This week's list

It was a Saturday and I was thinking about my list of things to do... I knew I only about three more to go before I completed it-- one random act of kindness, sell my schoolbooks, and write in my journal..

I had gone to the gym and just finished doing a killer cardio kick boxing workout. My knees felt like jelly after the class! So out of shape.. it's a good thing I can laugh at myself and still try anyway.. and it's a good thing we were only two participants in the class or else I might feel that I was lagging behind too much. Before going home, I wanted to return some stuff at CVS and just re-buy them-- because I got a three dollar coupon and another one worth five dollars... I enter the store and after browsing, got in line with some small items along with my plastic bag of things to return. I wasn't sure if they would let me "re-buy" the stuff but I thought to try anyway. The line was long and there were three cashiers open.. I noticed that one particular lady behind the register didn't seem too happy... she wasn't smiling or making small talk like the other staff would. Of course, when my turn came--- she was the next one open.. I show her the two things I wanted to buy and told her that I wanted to refund several items and re-buy them using the coupon. She looks at me with raised eyebrows-- you want to re-buy these?? And I said-- uhh.. yeah? She sighs and starts scanning the barcode.. One item.. then two... then three... She calls over the manager to punch the code for refunding then hands me some cash.. then I add another item that I wanted to refund and she scans that too. She then proceeds to scan everything again.. I asked her-- Long day? She looks up and nods with a sigh. As she punches in the last item, I pointed to some caramel candies that were selling 3pcs for 99cents-- she scans them in and puts everything into the bag. I put the change in my wallet... Before I leave I say thanks and hand her one of the caramel candies-- this is for you! She was obviously surprised-- Oh, thank you so much! and she finally smiles..

So I guess that's my random act of kindness... does it qualify? haha. Medyo strange but I found it a bit hard to do this task ah.. I mean to think of something that you can do. I didn't want to just give money to a beggar naman kasi I wanted it to be more substantive... so I jumped at the chance when I was in CVS. haha. Excited.

Anyway this week, I will carryover:

1. Write in my journal
2. Upload my pictures in multiply & facebook
3. two random acts of kindness (oha... level up na.)
4. Start sleeping early (Oh no) as in... in the bed by 1am.
5. Make something with my hands and post a picture of what I made

Whee... let's hope I do better this week :)
