it’s just the 3rd week of January and i have NO idea where my 2012 planner is. yes, the “oooh i have a new planner” hype eventually gets drowned by the “i’m too busy to even schedule my schedule” craziness, and people sort of put planners in the back burner. but to actually lose your planner 3 weeks in the new year? that’s gotta be a record, even for me. i misplace/lose things. i hate my brain for it, but i just do. here’s a quick list of things that magically evaporate under my care(lesness):- pensssssssssssss (National Bookstore loves me)- umbrellassssssss (Mama wants to kill me for this)- combsssss and hairbrushessssss (kaya yata ako kinalbo ni God noon, ayaw ko naman raw yata magsuklay. gusto ko po! gusto ko po!)- accessories (… ok, bakit puro pakaw na lang ang meron ako?) - lipgloss (in my defense, sige nga, find me a person who has successfully finished a chapstick tube.)- lens caps (i’m so sorry bossing/ The Boyfriend!)- ATM cards (in 5 years, i’ve had 4 cards. thank you Chinabank for not imposing a limit.)you wanna know how bad it is?- when i was in Explo, i misplaced my phone several times to the point that whenever there’s a random unsupervised phone, people gave it to me. - in our 5 years, Jeb has now had numerous “Ay, I left my phone/ wallet/ inhaler/ etc.” in your car…” text messages for us to count. - in 2005, following a coffee session in Starbucks Bluewave, i realized that i didn’t have my bag (yes, MY WHOLE BAG), only after Jeb parked in front of our house. we had to go all the way back to Macapagal Ave to retrieve it from the guard who had this “Are you freakin’ kidding me?” look on his face. (KILIG TRIVIA: Jeb and i weren’t a couple yet at the time, and his chivalry warmed my heart. too bad for him though, he should have taken that as a warning sign. hahaha!)- just this Sept 2011, in BKK: right after being cleared by the immigration, i was excited to have my money changed into Baht… only to find out that i lost my wallet. i was traveling alone then and really, my first reaction was: OH PLEASE BRAIN NOT NOW. NOOOOT NOW. it’s a good thing that Jeb was already waiting for me in BKK. Jojie: Ooooh, you are so gonna love this. *reports the latest booboo*Jeb: … ok. Where is your passport?Jojie: It’s with me! Ano ako, tanga?(he chose not to answer that na lang. hahahaha. i swear, that boy has the patience of a monk.)i try, really. i check and double-check and triple-check. but i find myself losing things i just had in my hand a few minutes back. it’s extremely frustrating. luckily, my family and friends love me despite of it and affectionately get a kick from it. (affeeeectionately ha. please.) but it’s such a pain… and i want to take charge of my whoozits and whatzits! (thingamabobs? i’ve got plenty.)i found this article for adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (we had a special needs seminar a few summers back and adultADD characteristics fit me like a glove… i was like “mneh, no surprises there.”). you, any tips?

i misplace/lose things. i hate my brain for it, but i just do. here’s a quick list of things that magically evaporate under my care(lesness):

- pensssssssssssss (National Bookstore loves me)
- umbrellassssssss (Mama wants to kill me for this)
- combsssss and hairbrushessssss (kaya yata ako kinalbo ni God noon, ayaw ko naman raw yata magsuklay. gusto ko po! gusto ko po!)
- accessories (… ok, bakit puro pakaw na lang ang meron ako?)
- lipgloss (in my defense, sige nga, find me a person who has successfully finished a chapstick tube.)
- lens caps (i’m so sorry bossing/ The Boyfriend!)
- ATM cards (in 5 years, i’ve had 4 cards. thank you Chinabank for not imposing a limit.)

you wanna know how bad it is?

- when i was in Explo, i misplaced my phone several times to the point that whenever there’s a random unsupervised phone, people gave it to me.
- in our 5 years, Jeb has now had numerous “Ay, I left my phone/ wallet/ inhaler/ etc.” in your car…” text messages for us to count.
