Old habits die hard Lead image source https://tinasworlds.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/idiom-old-habits-die-hard/amp/ Yay its the end of the month today, so what do we have here? Nothing just the usual stuff I do everyday. Woke up and then does all the household chores and activities which had been already part of my daily routine. Yesterday though I wasn't able to publish anything, I wanted to but my time and mind couln't make it. It was another busy day for a full time mom like me. In the morning, the first thing I have done is to prepare breakfast. I steamed the left over siopao which I bought from Marikina last Sunday. I remember the price of it way back was only 10 php but after more than 10 years they sell it for 18 php. If you live in Marikina you will know about the siopao factories that some small business visits because they have the best tasting siopao at a very affordable price. I think some resell it for 25 to 30 pesos each. The next thing I did was to heat some water and make some chocolate drinks for the kids and well a cup of coffee for me. I know last year I promised not to drink coffee anymore, but what can I do old habits die hard. I know a lot of you can relate to this idiom. According to this reference Definition of *old habits die hard:* https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/old%20habits%20die%20hard#:~:text=Definition%20of%20old%20habits%20die,Old%20habits%20die%20hard. —**used to say it is hard to stop doing things that one has been doing for a long time.** There were some habits that I really like to eliminate or stop doing it for a better version of me however, as time goes by I just found myself doing it over and over again. Drinking Coffee I promised myself that I won't drink coffee ever again, but I guess the promise to myself is set to be broken because lately I started to drink a cup of coffee a day. It all began when we had an overnight swimming. From then on I started to have a coffee occasionally, eventually weeks after my first caffeine this year, my body began craving for it. So two days ago when we had our grocery, I added some coffee of my favorite brand on our grocery cart. I just can't resist it, although I am minimizing myself to only one cup per day and see to it to drink a lot of water after it. After all it was the reason why I stopped drinking coffee last year because my water intake lessen.
Alcohol intake Another habit that I intend to forgot but due to recent gatherings with the girls, I started to drink alcohol again. Though it happened occasionally but then, another promise to myself is broken. I stopped drinking alcoholic drinks when I became a mother. I used to drink a lot most specially when I am still working. I can't refuse it since my co workers would always tease you if you can't come with them, and due to their influences I am always persuaded. It was actually fun not just because of the drinks but the bonding we got from our simple gathering. Eventually when I got my second son, I stopped it because I am exclysively breastfeeding him that lasted for 3 and half years. I almost forgot the taste of it due to years of not drinking it. I have a high tolerance for alcohol before that I remember I can go home safe and sound in the middle of the night even with the influence of it, but today it has change that I easily got drunk with just a few sip of it.
Sleeping late at night Ah this habit is too hard to resist. I wonder if I can ever change it. Sleeping early is what I wanted to achieve but it seems very hard. Having a partner working with a different timezone is the reason why I am sleeping really late. And then from then on my body clock has been used to it and when my husband is home we rarely get to sleep early too because as for him his body clock is adjusting too so I have to accompany him too. I guess this habit of mine will never change though I am hoping that I can maybe in the next days or month.
Ending Thoughts I guess at the end of the day my choice will still matters whether I would like to change or minimize this habits of mine. I have to set goals in order to achieve it and it may harder than I thought but with determination and working hard to do it, I know for sure I can make it. That's it for today. How about you do have habits that you wanted to change or wanted to eliminate? Please don't forget to comment it down below and let's talk about it.

Mahirap talagang e cut yung kape sis,🤣 ako nga nagka uti na sa kakakape cgeh pa din. Wala eh, hindi kompleto araw ko pag walang kape😅.
May nabasa din akong ganyan sis, nagka uti dahil sa kape, kasi di ba pag nagkape ka parang di ka nauuhaw kaya nababawasan ang inom ng tubig. Kaya ngaun after kape tubig agad😁
Oo sis, di ka talaga mauuhaw tapos dati sobrang adik talaga ako sa kape, like i can have 5-6 cup's of coffee a day 😁.
Ay grabe naman yun sis, with cream and sugar ba yan or purong kape? Ako hanggang 2 lang baka di na ako makatulog kapag lumagpas sa 2 cups😆
Wala na ako sa alcohol intake sis. Di ko na keri ang uminom ng mga alcoholic beverages. Pero yung dalawa, drinking coffee and sleeping late at night, yan mahirap kung baguhin.hahah Coffee is life talaga for me.
Kaya nga sis, though yung coffee intake ko naman is minimal na lang today, di katulad dati ang hirap tanggihan😅
Ako sis, parang di buo ang araw kp kung di ako makapagkape. Kaya kahit medyo matirik na araw, nagkakape pa din ako😅
Hahaha! Ako naman mejo minimal na lang talaga, yung tipong masayaran lang dila ko masaya na ako, 😅
Hahaha, malaking achievement na yan sis.
Alcohol and coffee is ay parang hanap hanapin mo pag nasanay ka na neto,pero nasa saiyo pa rin yan,lag nag commit ka na mag abstain na talaga .Kasi yong mother ko nga,antagal bago nakapag stop manigarilyo,hanggang may dinaramdam say kaya ba stop talaga.
Yung father ko naman sis nung nagkasakit ng tb saka tumigil ng yosi, mabuti di ko nagustuhan yun, si hubby naman ang nayosi pero as much as possible iniiwasan nya, pag super stress lang napapayosi.
Lag nagkasakit talaga napipilitan ng mag stop,madami talagang ganon sis,napapayosi if stress,si mama ko dati pag nag cr lang nag yosi.
Of course you can. Believe in your self and you will achieve that choice of change.
True that sis. With great determination I know I can do it:)
Good luck .. 💪
Nku sis, pagdating sa alcohol nadala na ako. First take ko ngtry noong college ako. Naallergy ako. Kaya d na ulit naulit. Ntakot na ako. Hahaha
Hahaha! Mabuti na lang sis naiwasan mo agad:)
Oo sis
it turns out that you like to drink friends, alcohol is also good for the body because it is a drug and also a killer of bacteria in the body but you must remember that excess consumption must be reduced because it is very dangerous for health, especially the stomach.
Exactly my friend:) anything too much is really bad for our body that is why it is recommended to drink moderately:)
Ohooo, buti nalamg yang sa sleeping late naalis ko na. Consistent na ang tulog ko ng 9 or 9:30 hihi. Sana magawa mo din yan, masama din ang nagapuyay abaw.
Naol mare, gusto ko din ng ganyang consistent ang oras ng tulog, anyways as of typing my reply the time is 9:30 cguro tulog ka na.😅
i feel you sis. i also always end up regretting what I ate and drink.. hayz..
Di ba sis, ang hirap nilang tanggihan kahit anong iwas eh lumalapit pa din😅
I am also guilty of sleeping very late at night. It's a very old habit and I don't see myself stopping it anytime soon 😆
I can feel you my friend, I think it will stay for long😅
Hahha guilty here! Not once I promised not to drink coffee too but eto na naman ako. Back to coffee na naman
Kaya nga eh, hirap tanggihan ng caffeine😆
I am sleeping late lately because I am working on something. What I do is I sleep an hour in the afternoon to not compromise my sleep. Hehe.
At least it has something to do with your work, with me waley, puyat to the max lang talaga😁
Sleeping late is one of the hardest habit taht I can't stop right away either. I don't know but seems like my eyes already know its own time to shutdown.
Hahaha! Yung tipong late na sis, saka lang sya pipikit, ottoke!😅
I did stop drinking coffee when my blood pressure spiked a bit and also I slept earlier and longer hours. But now am bike to drinking coffee and sleeping late and sometimes some wine here and then :D
Sis, coffee is life so why stop it? Joke lang..Just do it in moderation just like the alcohol and you should be okay. About sleeping, pano nga ba pag LDR kayo ng hubby mo? Maybe just take rest whenever you can.
