Yes And No. Talking To Myself.

No. You do not need an iPod classic. C'mon. Who're you kidding? You will never be a music person even if you tried. You don't even know the titles of half of the songs being played on the radio right now. I know it gets boring when you wait for the bus for so long on a lonely bus stop. But buying an iPod simply won't be worth it. So deal with it. Stick with the radio, it's good enough for you.

No. You do not need a DSLR. Even if that Nikon D80 is 20,000 pesos cheaper here than in the Philippines, it's simply not time to buy one yet. Take note, yet. Stick with your point and shoot Sony T10. It's still fine. Stop having these delusions that it's amateur and useless. Indonesia and Laos will still look great using it. Trust yourself.

No. You do not need a car. Face it. You've been wanting to get one since you got here but you've always managed to convince yourself that buying one will more than double your expenditures on transportation, among other things. So stop entertaining the thought. It sucks that you have to wait for the bus for almost an hour at times but, hey, you've been doing that since day one anyway. Besides, nobody said that commuting would be convenient all the time.

Yes. You love yoga. You really do. You wouldn't have upgraded your yoga membership if you didn't. No, it doesn't matter that some of the people you used to practice with are now teaching yoga. Do this at your own pace. But make sure you get your ass to those advanced classes more often now with your upgraded membership and improve a whole lot before the year ends. No excuses on this one.

No. You're not working out hard enough. You've been going to the gym regularly since the end of January but the results simply aren't as good as it could be. Don't entertain the thought of getting a personal trainer just yet though even if you really want to. Because if you're willing to spend that much on yourself, then just buy that iPod and DLSR first. Give it another month and see.

No, don't make gym and yoga class as excuses to buy a car. Even if getting a car will increase your ability to go to the gym and attend yoga classes, it simply isn't a right reason to get one. So quit it. And don't forget, save money!

No, you are not having a quarter-life crisis. First of all, you don't have enough issues that would resemble a crisis. Next, you're simply too proud to think that you'd ever undergo one.

Yes, you're turning 25 next week. No, you are not old. You don't even feel old. So continue thinking about the future but stop thinking as if you're in a hurry to get there.

Yes, you are happy.
