I just had lunch with 2 of my bestest friends since high school and we had a chat about life in general. We discussed that getting life insurance quotes to secure our future is one thing, but actually LIVING our lives in the present and now is another thing. We shouldn’t just focus on the future, we have to take care of the present too. And I completely agree. One of them is going to Japan next week to get her master’s degree there. She got a scholarship and she’ll be studying there for 4 years if she works hard. They asked me what I wanted to do with my life. I still don’t know the answer to that I’m afraid. I have to find out that ONE thing that will give my life direction. But unfortunately, I still don’t know what that ONE thing is. I admire my friend because she is about to live her dream, which is to go to Japan and study. Now if only I know what my dream is too. I would be one step closer to really LIVING my life to the fullest.

Mother’s day is fast approaching. Have you guys thought of a unique mothers day gift for your moms yet? Don’t tell me you’re just going to give her a card or a kiss? It’s the thought that counts, but well, a unique gift is much better, right?! So how do you get that gift that will be memorable and extra special to her? You start by knowing what your mother likes. What stuff is she interested in? What would make her happy? Only you will be able to decide what it is. There are a lot of online stores that sell unique gifts, or you can go to a local store and browse. Treating your mother to a meal would be good too, and that’s the best time for you to give your special gift. Sometimes, whether we admit it or not, we take our mothers for granted, but we can thank her and make her feel special on their day. So get some ideas as early as now!
