30 September 2009.
This day marks the beginning of the "end" of my corporate life. I am finally embracing the call of being a stay-at-home Mom. it has been months of thinking, deciding, planning, everything, and it has been a roller-coaster ride for me.
Honestly, the excitement is not yet very evident, because being jittery, being nervous, and being tense are the main emotions I am feeling right...

We know this takes effort. Here is a useful list of simple steps you can take to begin thinking greener, acting...

No internet yesterday, so I'm now posting my answers today, Sunday.

Probably in 2004-2005 when I traveled a lot because of work. I loved my work those...

I Dreamed of Purgatory
Strange, but I dreamed of Purgatory last night. And it was a strange purgatory. Anyway, this was my dream:
We were in this "open" elevator, we meaning my family and my sister. My sister was the last one who left before me, and I felt it weird that all of them dropped off in the same floor, while I went up. So I thought I was in a nice place because when I stepped out of the elevator, everything was...

"Thin Arms"
I don't know how my sister was able to do it using my conking out phone, but she was able to take a picture of me with... thin arms!!!
Having big arms is one frustration that I have when it comes to my physique, because though I have a slim figure, my arms are probably bigger than my legs. Hahaha.

Soft Spot in My Heart
I came across a former colleague via Facebook, and it would have been any normal conversation with her, up until she said "I miss you!" It was a simple sentence, all too often tossed to people even without meaning it. But then, it meant something, because I missed her too. And not only the person, but also because of what we had in common... our previous company.
It brought back all the good times...
That's My Answer: Merchandise
If you could open your own retail store, what type of merchandise would you sell?
Hmm... I've been thinking of various business opportunities, and one of these is to sell merchandise, whether in a real shop or online. Lots of ideas came up when my friend J and I brainstormed, ranging from making and selling candles to useful items (such as Kettlebells) not yet sold in the Philippines. However, we...

I Dreamed of the US
And it was a lovely dream, indeed! So now I am fixated about saving in order for us three, Enrique, Eanna, and I, to go to the US. I was thinking of Canada then NY, but then, I also want to go to Disneyland. I guess I should save more and follow a really tight budget for us to have a California side-trip as well. And since we have relatives in all three places, we don't have to look for places to...
Dotted Face
Thanks to sleepless nights at the hospital, some "pimplets" dot my face right now, especially in the forehead area. And thanks too to my sister for pointing it out. "Your skin isn't that great lately." Talk about brutal honesty. Hahahaha. It's ok though, because the dots are minor enough that I can just wait for them to completely go away. No need to get an acne treatment and all. Belo's Meso Eye...

This is my nth time to be sick this year. But it is much worse this time, because poor little bebe is sick too. I can tell she really feels discomfort because she is not her usual lively self.

Facebook Games
Facebook was my downfall, when it came to my rule that we will not have internet at home.It's the fault of my officemates, plus my Boss, who introduced me to the world of FB games. Hahahah. Excuses excuses. I used to just play Pet Society, but now I am maintaining "only" four games... Farmville, Pet Society, Restaurant City, and recently YoVille. I pretty much went up the ranks quite quickly (proud...

It was a very stressful Tuesday yesterday. Gash, I almost had a heart attack. Plus an asthma attack. Hahaha.Oh well, just a little bit more and maybe I can relax. I told this to dear hubby, and my usual "maybe I should just stay until October only."His reply? "That's good, tell your Boss so they can prepare already." Ngik. But I half-expected that. Funny, I also thought that he should say "Well, it's...
