| My review for Elias, BGC Taguig |
"You're nobody until somebody calls you bossy."
Okay. When I said I was going to read more books this year, I didn't say I was going hardcore.
We all have our own reasons for reading. Mine was because I got myself a Kindle so I have to prove to myself I didn't just binge-bought last Black Friday sale. Kidding! Okay maybe just a little.

| Tina Fey Bossypants. I actually learned about this book from my roommate so I had a physical copy to take a photo of! |
This book is like her mini-biography? I guess? She tells the story of her life in the most random kind of details. It's perfect for a light after-office reading. One thing I might note though is that she mentions a lot of personalities/celebrities I'm not at all familiar with so it's a little difficult to catch up sometimes, but if think you've watched enough American TV, you'll be fine.
Did you have fun reading Tina Fey Bossypants?
A few days before the Black Friday sale, I started to scout for nifty stuff on Amazon.
I scored a $49 kindle and had it shipped right away. I'm a MyShoppingBox user, but I always wanted to try out POBox.ph and now that I discovered they now offer Air Freight, it seemed like the perfect time! They used to ship only By Sea.
Unlike other freight forwarders, POBox.ph consolidates your items for free. Taking advantage of that, also got me an Xperia Z5 charging dock, and a Spigen case. All these items where shipped to their warehouse everyday from 11/23 to 11/25.

All my orders have arrived at POBox.ph facility.
07 December 2015
I've checked on my items why they haven't been billed yet. This means they haven't tagged my item to my name yet.

I have been billed and I was hoping to use my Citibank discount. I've been told that the discount only works for Sea Freight but at the end of the conversation, I was given a discount, anyway. Talk about customer service!
02 January 2016
I GOT THE PACKAGE! I was counting 15 working days after I've made my payment, and with the holidays coming up, I've figured it'd arrive at around the 8th of January. I was so happy to have found my package arrived on the 30th of December!
I know we've got a handful of Holidays last month and it's probably worst-case scenario for deliveries, so it's an awesome surprise.
Happy New Year!
To be very honest, I am quite disappointed with how 2015 turned out because I had a handful of things I wish I had accomplished--taking guitar lessons, scuba lessons and driving lessons. None of these happened.
I have had a lot of things going on in 2015, don't get me wrong, but I went on hiatus on this blog and hardly had any time to share anything. Such a shame.
It was a good year for travel I've been to places--Cebu, Singapore, Taipei, Singapore again.
It was a good year for personal improvement--I moved out.
Not a good year financially--because you see, items 1 and 2 above does not actually add up to huge savings.
I wanted to start out this year with a list of what I'm supposed to write about.
My 2016 Plan is to make PLANS. Lists. Layouts. Flowcharts. Take baby steps. Baby productive steps.
And oh, I need to lose weight. Like seriously lose it all.
I'm looking forward to a great year ahead! Happy New Year!
Fit. Frugal. Forward.
