on hiatus

i know i have been a very delinquent blogger. this page has been getting very boring lately. being very busy at work, an hour-long commute and coming home to a very hyper toddler leaves me with very little energy left to do anything else.

i'm going on hiatus for a while. i don't like not updating my blog but at the same time i feel i don't have anything worth blogging about.

in the meantime, i will still be visiting your sites and will still make my presence felt from time to time :)

till next time...

dilemma

to stay with a job that entails (at the very least) an hour-long commute both ways, being busy with work for most of the day, intellectual stimulation, great young people, not too satisfactory monetary compensation

OR

to take a dead-end job for the convenience of a working locally, being done with work before noon, great mature people and the possibility of earning a lot more but the company may not last another 5 years


probably not much of a dilemma but the possibility of earning more money and being closer to home is pulling me to what is convenient.

bloggy birthday

today marks this blog's anniversary....woohoo!

as i browse the past twelve months, i see clara growing through the pictures.

i am reminded of the little things i would've likely forgotten if i had not written about it.

throughout the year, i have been more and more in touch of what goes on in my mind and i have an outlet to where i can put express these.

i have made friends online, have shared opinions and have enjoyed their feedback about my random thoughts. these feedbacks i love getting and i hope to get more.

though i have been a little lacking in updating lately, i plan to continue writing here and see where my mind takes me.

my little place on the web has just turned ONE! :)

enlighten me...

ON GUYS

...why is it that guys always manage to inject a comment of sexual connotation in a conversation? At first I thought it was because of the way I say things, sometimes I unintentionally give a double meaning to what I say. That I can understand why a conversation would go that direction. But with my new job, as I am mostly observing my new officemates, the guys still manage to insert a comment here and there. In a good natured way, of course. I find it interesting.

ON SHOES

...why is it you find THE perfect shoe...and they don't have your size. frik.

...why is it that what you thought was the perfect shoe is an evil shoe in disguise?

...why are the gorgeous shoes the most uncomfortable ones?

ON KIDS.. SPECIFICALLY TODDLERS

...why is it that kids manage to learn the bad words in a minute while learning good manners seemingly takes forever?

...why is it a toddler's energy level exceeds a parent's energy level by several notches?

IN GENERAL

...why are there not enough hours in a day?

...why are there not enough paydays ;)

one good weekend


Clara woke up Saturday morning feeling very stylish. She picked out her outfit. A striped tank top and fuchsia skort was her choice and the kicker was she asked for her cap. (she never wears caps). Bagels and coffee for breakfast. The rest of the day spent lazing around at home. It was too warm outside we didn't feel like going out. High point: Clara had two good sized naps during the day. Woohoo! Definitely a good day :)










Sunday started with our weekend bagel and coffee and a walk around the mall. Nothing exciting. Just a very nice habit we got into.










Here is Clara showing some love to the camera and mr. ladybug.















An afternoon by the pool with a few friends capped the day.

I wanted to record this weekend as one of the good ones where Clara was (generally) a good girl and obliged her mom with many cute pictures.











Sidenote: Clara continues to catch me by surprise how fast she's growing. You just have to look how she walks to see and inkling of how independent and headstrong she is. I'm afraid to even imagine what I have ahead of me.
