12 Things That Are True About Me Right Now

Okay, so I copied this from Chin… I like it, and for lack of anything to post, I shall answer her question and post what is true for me as of the moment. Here goes nothing:

1. I use computers pretty much 20 hours a day (more if needed be).
2. I need a good stress release because I am this close to exhaustion, but then again, it could be just me and my imagination.
3. I am excited for the next coming months because at some point, I have this feeling that I am about to be free, and that I am going to be as energized as can be…just as long as I survive this weekend, I will be okay.
4. I bought a skipping rope 2 weeks ago, and until now, I have not used it at all – the kids have, though, but they really do not know how to use it. I bought the skipping rope as an attempt at exercise which I do not have the time for as of the moment.
5. I recently opened some old emails which hurt me badly back when I initially received them, but now they make a lot of sense. These emails somehow knocked back the determination in me that I now feel the need to print it out and stick it on the wall right in front of me for inspiration or something.
6. I want Christmas to come already because I have plans to make it an enjoyable one for my kiddos.
7. I feel fat. Well, I am fat. But then again, I am gorgeous eh? Juuuust kidding. I sit in front of a computer day in and day out. No, its not that I do not have the time to exercise, it’s just that I do not want to.
8. I am currently lusting over heels that cannot fit my gigantic feet. Plus I need a nice dress to go with it. It is for a wedding, actually, on October 3.
9. I am wishing for the following things for Christmas (for myself): Nokia E63, another desktop computer, DSLR (Nikon D40 – yes, just D40). Oh, and world peace.
10. I feel rather domesticated these days that I just want to cook for my family. Blame it on the newly acquired non-stick cookware. Anybody know any good recipes for a wannabe Iron Chef like moi?
11. My husband thinks I need to go to see the doctor. I get sick easily these days.. but I blame it on the stress about a certain decision I had to make. Me? Get sick? Dude! I am She-Ra (Princess of Power)!
12. My morning routine on weekdays consist of waking up at 4-5 am, work, prepare food to be cooked for breakfast and Sophie’s baon, bathe Sophie and take a bath myself, change, check Sophie’s bag for stuff she puts in it, fix Frankie’s milk so that he has milk when he wakes up, log off, cook breakfast and fix lunch packs, brush teeth and Sophie’s teeth in case she doesn’t do it right, put snacks in Sophie’s bag, catch a cab, drop Sophie off at the Child Minding Center, go to work. Easy peasy.

I think I may have forgotten something.. but hey, whatever.

So what is true about you as of this very moment?

Almost 3 years old

Well whaddaya know? This blog is almost 3 years old!

Yeahp! I kid you not! This blog will turn three on October 6 of this year. If you want to see my first post, click HERE.

This blog has seen a lot of things, including my woes, worries, triumphs, and even my second pregnancy. With all the memories locked here, it does seem to be a pity to just hit the delete button, right?

What? Am I thinking of deleting this blog? Yes, It has crossed my mind. More than once, in fact. Yet I cannot seem to part with the memories that have been stored here. Even a quick glance down the archive will make me remember some blog posts that I cannot even remember making. It is quite good actually because there are some small things in our lives that we may have chronicled that we have unwillingly forgotten.

It is because of these almost three years that have gone that I am somewhat inspired to write as often here as possible. The memories and stories often go to waste these days just because somebody felt that it was inappropriate for me to share my stories here. Then again, perhaps I should just make sure that person is not included in my stories so that there will be no more complaints.

Anyway, as what Pareng Dan would say, “what are you waiting for?” So on to the pieces of indulgence that we can afford.

Good morning everybody!

Note to Me

Just going to leave a message for ME.

YOU ROCK! AND YOU KNOW THAT. NOW GO BE AS AWESOME AS YOU CAN BE!

~~~~

What was that about? Uh huh… I know some of you are raising your right or left eyebrow saying, “whaaaaaaaat?” Dude, this is just me appreciating myself in public. I do not think there is anything wrong with that. LOL

Still, for explanation’s sake, I just saw something to day that made me smile. Nothing like starting your day with a smile, right? Plus, of course, a little boost of confidence. Rawk onnnnnn!!

Good morning everyone and have a nice day!

Roam

Admit it. Sometimes in life there are those moments where you find yourself in a stump and you look this way and that, only to find roads empty and dusty. Rain has not passed yet, but you are not exactly basking in the sunshine, are you dearie?

See, this would be me right now. I am stumped. I am sitting on a stump that I do not want to be on. The ragged cut of the tree stump is not exactly doing any miracles to my tushie except make it as similar to J. Lo’s (not that I object y’know.. after all, it is an ass-et). Still, sitting on it got me close to wondering where the heck am I?

See, I would like to roam now. I would like to run free. I would like to live for even just a while and do things without an abcdeFg about what she said, what he said, what they said. Puhleeze! Too many noises! Can I please drown you out with some good ole Guns n’ Roses? Or or or… wait, I am gonna go with those peaceful nature sounds you can easily locate on YouTube (thank God for YouTube!).

Early mornings and escape kits

I love early mornings. It is during these times that most of my ideas flow, and where I get to have most things done. Unfortunately, over the past few days, stress from work and other life changing decisions have been plaguing me, so much so that I fall asleep out of exhaustion.

On a lighter note, today is one of those good days where I got to wake up early and just enjoy the cool morning air. Although I did manage to get some things done, I was not exactly that productive – unlike two days ago where there was another black out and I had to contend myself with drawing. Hehehe.. Yes, I have been drawing again. You can check it out in my Flickr account (coz I can post there again).
