Leap of Faith

My Boss has talked to me over the weekend about my "resignation" plan and after a lot of thinking, I have decided to stay with the company. For some reason, after informing this to the "other side," I really felt good. I felt that a big burden has been taken out from me. I remembered my little sweetcake....

LSS: Amazed by Lonestar

For two days now, the song "Amazed" by Lonestar has been my Last Song Syndrome. It's a simple song with simple lyrics, but for some reason, the whole song just evokes the feeling of being in love. Specifically, it makes me remember how much in love I am with my husband. You know, that overwhelming feeling of love. I just can't explain it. Suddenly, I'm being transported to those moments when Enrique...

Guilty (Online) Pleasures

Wow, this day is surprisingly a light working day here at the office, something that doesn't come too often. I just talked to my colleague and she agreed that it's a little boring today. Maybe because we're looking forward to an exciting weekend, thanks to our company outing? Whatever the reason is, today is really a light day for me. Too light that aside from blogging and chatting during breaks,...

Decision Time...

Today is the day for me to decide whether I should take the opportunity being offered to me by another company, or to just stay in my present good ol' one. My husband and I have talked about it, and I really sense that he's uneasy about me taking the new job. All he kept on saying was "Ok, I'll say yes, but YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU'LL HAVE TIME FOR US." Somewhat unfair clause right? I mean, of course...

Sad Momma

*Sigh*For some reason my little angel has become attached to someone, not me. You see, she used to have her nanny, but the nanny left just recently. So at home, it's just our helper N, Eanna, and I. For four days now I have noticed that eversince her nanny left, her need for N grew. She cries whenever N leaves the room, or when she hears her say "bye." Of course, N would pick her up from me, and I...

Confused

One of the hardest things to say when talking to your boss is when you tell him that there is an offer from another company that you are seriously considering. Well, at least in my case, I had a hard time telling my boss about this offer I received. I made it clear though that I was surprised as well when I received that call, and I wasn't applying to other companies. I could tell from his facial...

My Lavender Fields

Wow, I just realized that this blog is already 4 years old. I never thought that I would keep a blog this long. Actually, I had previous blogs, or what they used to call "online journals" prior to this blog, but for some reason, updating them didn't quite appeal to me. Then when I made this blog, there were so many things that can be done that blogging became more of one way to unwind, to release...

Missing Eanna

It's been days since the last time I am with my baby girl (5 days to be exact), and I am sorely missing my little angel. I know, I know, before I left yesterday I got to see, kiss, hug, and play with her, but it was really just a short time. Good thing I'm now on my way back to Manila. I hope she's still awake when I get back, beause I really really want to play with her for even just a short while...

Deal or No Deal

I had a sleepless night last night. I kept on thinking what developments had transpired yesterday, and up until now my mind is still very confused. You see, yesterday i have received a phone call from another company, asking me to join them. IMMEDIATELY. I was a little rattled because first I wasn't really looking for a new job. It just so happened that my good friend and our principal sponsor needed...
