Day 3 of Time Budgeting

Woke up at 9am which is good. But ate and watched youtube videos while “planning” until noon.

Positive:

I’m grateful for this beautiful sunny, light-aired day! I’m grateful for my juicer and rebounder. Grateful for having gifts to give, parties to go to this weekend. Grateful for being Canadian and having the citizenship. Grateful for my past being a Taiwanese citizen too. Grateful for having a slice of Matthew, because even though it’s just a slice, it’s made some very happy moments for me.

Planning:

MUST DOs:

  1. Take ring photos (striped blue, on my hand and solo)
  2. Send Alpha email about defect / improvements
  3. Fit diaphragm
  4. Ship rings to Canada
  5. Do dishes
  6. Another TD money transfer call

Extras:

  1. Drop off rings at Elena’s and pick up some wrapping materials
  2. John Fladien’s course – I want to pick more products
  3. If possible: Notary to certify passport documents
  4. Email Rapid formation with stamped address and see if that is good enough
  5. Wrap gifts f0r Masha and Brodie
  6. Soon: Apply for passport renewal and nexus
  7. Get keesha to contact those with requests
  8. Clean house
  9. Add some ring photos to Amazon (Norm’s hand)
  10. Prepare ring returns (2, Ivy and Deeann)

Summary:

Well, today started out better than the previous 2 days. Got up earlier. I think tomorrow I’ll get up even earlier, seeing that it’s only 1am right now, and I have a phone call with Amazon at 10am.

I might drive to the US tomorrow.

I didn’t get one of the tasks done because I forgot about it. I guess I could’ve been more productive today. No lying down today though….less tired today.

I wonder if it’s better to write down what I need to do the night before, and update it in the morning. This way the back of my mind has a sense of what needs to be done and when:

  1. 10am call Canada Post to keep my parcel
  2. 10am launch call with Ben at Amazon.co. uk
  3. Edit and upload more product images
  4. Start UK order?
  5. Call TD USA
  6. Set up CIBC account for Global Money Transfer
  7. More work on the Dice name

Summary:

Still working on this ’til late (3am). An hour better than yesterday, but the tasks are not 100% done.

I don’t know why but I can’t sit for a long time. Low blood pressure?

Day 1 of Time Budgeting

Positive:

Love my life, myself, my body, my family, my friends, my surroundings, my business, my income, and things to look forward to. All in all, very happy and grateful!

Looked at 2 things that I felt stuck at: where do I want to live, and boyfriend. Decided that, I love where I live right now, and I want to focus on my business for the rest of the year, so I won’t worry about where to live at the moment. If Jennifer comes back, then maybe I can think about moving downtown (Yaletown).

Planning:

MUST GET DONE:

  1. Make sure Ken sends out silver and the 54 rings asap
  2. Contact VA candidates
  3. Start 99design
  4. Prepare text and get Keesha to contact 420 emails
  5. There was a bow tie to refund

Also:

  1. v Reply to starred emails
  2. v Get Keesha to clean up ring on hand photos
  3. Post cooking class photos
  4. v UK listings

Tomorrow:

  1. Get rings from Elena (and bring her bow ties)

Summary:

So, I’m realizing how much I stall, how much I lie down. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t feel well, or because I miss Matthew, or because I’m still a bit jet-lagged.

But, I did do everything I set out to do! Yay!

I passed out at some point and woke up at 9pm. So it’s 4am now and I finally showered and am ready for bed. So messed up I know.

So, it’s sort of a success. Scraped-by success haha. For Day 2, I will be more disciplined! 🙂

2 Weeks to Learn to Budget Time

I’m giving myself the next 2 weeks to learn to budget time.

Disciplines set you free. I want to be free. I want to be productive. Make lots more money, lots more good friends. Have time to learn new skills. Have time to have a boyfriend or an extra fuckbuddy.

I think Matthew probably has this figured out. He has all of the above.

So here is what I’ll do for 2 weeks, everyday, no exception:

  1. First thing in the morning, positive moment with self. (Gratefulness, positive meditation, etc) – 10 minutes
  2. Evaluate my to-do list and my calendar, and plan out the day – 15 minutes
  3. Evaluate at the end of the day, how I do.

We’ll come back to this at the end of 2 weeks. August 2nd!

Potential dating profile

  • Normal. Rather then showing my crazy, eccentric self, even my bold self. I’ll leave these for later. I’m realizing that hot, normal (but a bit quirky) people like normal people for the most part, and the easily accepted beauty. Heck, even I like that. I like someone who doesn’t dress to weirdly, act too weirdly, look too exotic right off the bat.
  • Happy
  • Traveller – where do I love
  • Don’t want kids
  • Love animals
  • Don’t want one night stands
  • Specific. Rather than being generic and leave it all ’til when we meet, I’m going to be more seemingly-specific. As in, specific, but still pretty lenient. This will help guys feel accomplished when they qualify.

What kind of profile would I like:

  1. Good looking
  2. Nice body
  3. Cool – has friends, dressed decent, cool hobbies
  4. Profile shows humour
  5. Good grammar and good command of English
  6. Is in a good place – happy, active, has decent income
  7. Reasonable requests – nothing too vein or too specific
  8. Has core values that align with mine
  9. Seeks the same type of partner – long term loyal relationship, an equal, a complement
  10. Similar hobbies

Tips:

  1. surfing and yoga
  2. tell stories
  3. be specific – my fave places to travel to
  4. smile with teeth in profile pic
  5. show flat stomach
  6. say “active” or “valuing health and fitness” instead of “have a fit body”
  7. instead of saying loyal, say you’ll be your partner’s number one fan
  8. say what your ideal weekend is like
  9. someone is trying to picture you in their life. talk about self 80%
  10. search ppl just like you and see who you are competing against
  11. show don’t tell
  12. Add bait: “I’m always up for a night of camping out under the stars (don’t forget to ask me about the time I was almost attacked by a bear!).”
  13. confident language: “the perfect man for me is smart, fun and handsome,”
  14. wear red
  15. just you in photos; 4 to 6 photos. 1 full body, 1 active, 1 head. You are as good as your worst photo
  16. Give a snapshot of who you are, how you live your life and the relationship you are seeking.

    My ideal date….sex and talk, haha.

     

 

 

 

Dating?

Hmm….so tempted to try to find love again. It’s been a while.

I feel that I can now, because I have money now, I’m more successful now, and, being with Matthew makes me feel that there is so much fun that can be had. I have love to give, and it’s a waste to give it to a fuck buddy.

Another thing is, it seems that time is running out. Yes, we can date at any age, but it seems that the best looking guys will no longer be available if I keep stalling. I’m 36 now. My age range is now more like 31 to 41. Sigh. How many good-looking 30+ year olds are there? I can only think of one person. Matthew. So, there’s no time to waste.

On the flip side, there are other priorities. I really want to amp up my business, and make $1MM a year, every year.

I really want to do the alopecia videos every month.

I also want to have more good friends. Get better at volleyball.

Then again, Matthew was able to do a whole bunch of things, while having a girlfriend. Even a fuck buddy. Of course I wouldn’t continue to sleep with him if I do get a boyfriend.

It would be nice to be able to put a pause to that – because that would mean I have something even better. Also Matthew would, possibly, feel sad. I kinda want that. I want him to feel sad about not being able to have me. I want him to feel that deprivation, maybe even regret.

I have this pusheen unicorn keychain that I have yet to give him. In reality, he would never give me anything. He would never put enough thought towards something to make me happy. That’s just how an FB relationship really is. I have this urge to do gf-like things, but it’s so one-sided it’s not fair. Then again, I wonder how he expresses love. There are 5 different modes of love languages.

 

 

 

My infatuation

I noticed that my previous posts are all about Matthew. I’m definitely infatuated with him.

How could I not be? He is so gorgeous, so smart, so funny, so flirty.

Sigh. I wish he was mine. But he is no one’s.

I want to find someone who loves me, and I love him back. Equally. And we are a team. We are so proud of each other. We respect each other. We support each other. We inspire each other. We laugh together. We are each other’s best friends. We are happier and better when we are together. We are unstoppable. We are a power couple.

Wealth as of July 17, 2016: USD $444K + CAD $34K = CAD $609K

Wow, I’m still raking in lots of money! I can’t believe I gained $144,000 in total asset the past 5 months!

The past few months have been challenging…ranking slipping, hijackers. So this is very encouraging.

In 5 months, it’ll be the end of this year. I project having at least $800K in total asset by then. That means I have the potential of living off this asset at $80K per year, given a 10% dividend gain.

If I do the silver and gold rings right and in time, I’d be at over $1MM in asset!

Details:

TD CDN: CAD$33,975.96
TD US Branch: USD$197,198.82
TD USD: USD$218,252.74
Bank of America: USD$2,399.37
PayPal: USD$26,227.92

USD: CAD Exchange rage: 1:1.29

197,198.82+218,252.74+2,399.37+26,227.92=$444,078.85USD = $574,971.09CAD
574,971.09+33,975.96=$608,947.05CAD

Current total: $609KCAD

609-465=144K gained in 5 months, wow!!!

Pityriasis rosea..and…loving Matthew Today….

Just got back from Barcelona yesterday, July 12th. Matthew liked my posts but I didn’t chat with him because I have pityriasis rosea…I’m covered in pink dots. Also, got my period.

Today he messaged me. Obviously he was wondering why I haven’t initiated meeting up for sex. He didn’t ask that though. It seemed hard for him to ask.

I told him about my condition. I said it was ironic that I kissed his scar and he said I would grow spots, and I said I was immune. Here I am, not immune. (It seems like my body is pranking me.)

We ended up chatting quite a lot today. I liked it. He is so cute. I’ve never seen him so talkative before. That’s a good sign I think.

Makes me horny…

I hope I heal soon. I want to see him.

He joked about how I use him for his balls. I took the opportunity to tell him that I like that he is also smart and funny and that it turns me on. He said he used to not care about smarts but now he is not attracted to pretty but dumb girls at all. Then later that day he said a bunch of things that seemed like he was trying to show that he is smart. Haha

Today (the next day) is spent being a bit miserable. My pityriasis is a bit better (I check every few hours like it’s gonna look different), but I feel kinda awful. Not sure why. I spent a lot of time lying down and day dreaming about Matthew. I’m infatuated.

Then it made me sad that we can’t be together. I try to make it clear to myself that, this is the best form of our relationship. It’s a fact. Not a lie I tell myself to make me feel better. It’s the truth. This is the best. We flirt, we respect each other, we have amazing sex. Any closer we get, we won’t be the same.

But I miss him. I want him. I want to spend all day, all week with him. I wish we could go on a vacation and just have tons of fun and tons of sex.
