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 there will be times when I would probably work a little longer, but I'm sure there will be also days when I'm oh so free. Besides, what is his idea of "TIME FOR US?"
Gash, these are the times when you wish you're single, thus making aggressive moves is just solely your discretion. Now, I have to consider sooo many other factors.
Anyway, I am still very uncertain. I don't know why it feels uncomfortable now. A couple of days ago i was dead-set in taking this new adventure. But now, I'm not so sure. Admittedly, talking to Enrique and my Boss has opened my eyes to some other aspects involved when I choose to take the demanding-but-high-paying-offer. The points they raised made me think twice, really.
I really just hope that before this day ends, a sign will be given to me, on whether to say DEAL or NO DEAL.

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 couldn't say No because Eanna's arms are opened wide, like she wanted to say "take me, take me."
Eanna was never like this to her Nanny. She was never like this to me. She always enjoyed playing with me, always enjoyed me cuddling her, kissing her, embracing her, carrying her. Now, it's as if she doesn't want me to be around. I really feel sad about this.
It's as if I'm such a bad Mom who's never there, so she looked for comfort from another person. Today, I felt really hurt when I tried to bath her and she just kept crying. The only time she stopped was when N went inside the bathroom to watch her. We used to enjoy this bonding moment. She used to laugh a lot and play with me while I bathe her.
Can I cry now?
I really hope this is just a phase and that sooner or later Eanna will "go back" to me again and enjoy being with me more than being with anybody else.

Summer Lunch
Last saturday I was in the mood to cook something special, so I made one of my all-time favorites... Linguini Vongole.
RECIPE: Linguini Vongole
Ingredients:
Linguini pasta
Manila Clams
Clam Juice ( just a little)
Lotsa garlic
Chili Flakes (amount depends on your taste)
Olive Oil
Flat leaf parsley
Dry white wine (or any white wine you have)
Cracked Black Pepper
Optional: Scallops (I added this in mine!)
Heat pan, then add olive oil. Sautee chopped garlic and chili flakes. Add clams and scallops. Add a little clam juice, then white wine. Cook until clams are open; discard any that didn't. Add parsley and black pepper. Stir in the pasta. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle some more parsley. Serve hot with baguette and a glass of wine. :D
I finished the whole thing, gash I'm such a big eater. Hope you like this simple recipe!

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 expression that it wasn't really ok for me to leave, if ever. He honestly told me that his advice of course is biased, because he wants me to stay with the team.
After our long talk, I was left confused. I have grown to like this company, but the offer of the other (compensation and opportuunity) is not something that I could easily dismiss. It really is an appealing offer. However there are so many factors I need to consider - the people I would be dealing with, the amount of pressure and time I would devote to this new job with bigger responsibilities, etc., that in the end would tell me whether it really is worth getting into.
Plus there's the Enrique factor. Although he has a disclaimer "I support you all the way and whatever decision you make," he voiced out his concerns such as me possibily having no time for both of them, as well as "you don't have to work that hard because I can support our family" drama.
Part of me is really interested to take this opportunity, but a large part of me says otherwise...
Help me Lord.

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 whatever feelings I had and all. This blog has been with me through thick and thin, my ups and downs, my best and worst. Most importantly, it witnessed how my relationship with Enrique started and bloomed.
In boring days, I used this blog to keep me busy - posting test results and revamping the blog's looks. In hectic days, I used it to rant and vent out my frustrations.
Truly, this blog is my very own lavender fields, fields where I can relax and be myself. A place where I can reflect on my dreams, my hopes, my fears, my life.
Wait a minute... Why am I being sentimental anyway... Uhm... I don't know. Or maybe I do know, I just don't know how to put it into words.

Babe in a Suit, 7th Month
She's too cute... Hahahaha! I can't wait till I first dip her into the pool. Summer, we are oh so ready for you!
Anyway, we celebrated Eanna's 7th month last night. I was so happy that when I came home from work, she was waiting for me at the lobby. What a way to take out my exhaustion! Ok, going back to her celebration, it was just a simple one; we had beef stew, strawberries, cheese, and double dutch cake.
She was really soooo lively and kept on standing up and all. Very very active baby.
