bummer
I've been keeping a bit of news to myself for a while lest I jinx the outcome. But as of yesterday, they made their decision. I was not what they were looking for. If there is one thing I learned from this experience, it's that a panel interview in a small room scares the begeebees out of me. my (on again, off again) job search goes on....

rain, gym and more Clara news
Definitely weird weather we are having this week. Imagine California having tornado warnings, hale and flood warnings. Imagine (Southern) California being wetter than Seattle. (Seattle by the way is having sunny weather today... go figure)Normally, I love the rain. The rhythmic pitter patter of it entertains me while I'm driving or better yet if I didn't have to go to work, I would just lie in my bed and watch it through the window. What ruins it for me is when I hear the problems that come with it. News about landslides, houses and lives lost because of it, flooding and traffic make me feel guilty that I like rain. A little trivia here. The highest amount of rainfall in LA was 38.18 inches. As of yesterday, total rainfall is measured at 32.03 inches. Give it a few more inches, and it will be the wettest season since 1884. ---------- I haven't been writing much because there's not much to write about. Routine's been the same for a while. work, gym, home. Gym, by the way, is going great. Haven't lost weight but I think I've lost inches and I feel better all around. I have to say that even with the all around good feeling I have when I finish working out, it still is a struggle for me to get to the gym at least three days a week. The excuses that pop into my head...ayayay. It's like having an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. ---------- Clara's making great progress with her speech. She's talking a whole lot more now and she makes sure everyone hears about it. Last weekend she woke up at about 6:45 am. She usually wakes me up by poking my nose and my eyes and climbing on me till I wake up. Well, this weekend, after doing all that she just sat on the bed and shouted "Ayayaya" in a loud voice over and over again till someone (I think my MIL) came into the room to get her. Everyone was talking about it when they came down for breakfast. Speaking of Clara (ain't I always Ü), she's been growing really fast these days. I suddenly notice her pants and pajama bottoms don't drag on the floor anymore. Actually they are close to a couple of inches short already. When did that happen? My BIL's girlfriend, M arrived from the homeland a couple of weeks ago and Clara looooooooooves her. As in adores being around her. First day here and Clara's posing (in front of the camera) for her...complete with a smile and head tilt. She doesn't do that when I point the camera at her. Anyway, Clara hangs out in M's room sitting quietly while she's on the computer. They even have this thing where M copies whatever Clara does and they go at it for a few minutes till Clara gets tired of the game. CUTE! Hmmmm.... just had a thought.... maybe Clara is taking after M in height since they have been around each other alot ( M is 5' 9") which could explain the sudden growth spurt of my child... yay!!! my child has a chance of being taller than me...nyahaha :D Monday, February 21, 2005

Since I've got nothing else to post...1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the sentence on your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's exactly next to you. They would talk about how much money the other neighbors made, who was angry with whom, what husband was drinking too much. -Moments for Mothers daily devotions for women, Kimberly Snider I got this from here.

♥ ♥ ♥
and to celebrate the spirit of love. It is a day not just for couples, but for family and friends as well! I would like to take the time to show some love to those who have loved me. To my mom, I love you for not giving up when you felt overwhelmed with the responsibilities of raising four children and running a business, for lengthening the apron strings when I needed to move away from home, for trusting me in making an important decision (though the warning bells must have been sounding off left and right). I miss you. To my dad, though we have our differences, I love you for continuing to be the best dad you can be. To hubby, I love you for making me feel like I'm a better wife than I really am. I love you for loving my goofiness, my mistakes, my moods and my quirks. I love you for loving me. To Clara, I love you for your daily hugs and kisses, for the smile on your face when I come home, for the the lessons in patience and tolerance only you have managed to teach me, for the joy you bring to the family everyday. You are my daughter. I will love you always. To my in laws, thank you for accepting me into your family with nary a ripple of objection (is that the right word?). I love you all for taking care of Clara when I needed time to myself. I am very lucky to be part of a family such as yours. To my aunts and cousins, I love you for being my support group during a hard time. You (my aunts) are my pseudo moms now. I love you for being honest, for being funny and for just being there. To my friends, whether from high school, college or from work, I love you for being part of my small circle of people close to me. I hope we can get together again someday to reminisce the good old days.

Snippets of thought
Clara finally got the hang of putting shapes into their respective slots. You should have seen her...holding a shape in her hand and crouching at the table ...her eyebrows high on her forehead and her pampered bottom wiggling in thought...as she figures out where the shape fits.
How can kids be darn so cute... why to they have to grow up so fast? ------ I've been in a weird mood lately... I feel like Clara is growing faster than I can keep up which makes me want to make sure I remember everything about her (as a baby/toddler)... ------ Last night, as I was lulled to sleep by the soft snoring of my two babies (hubby and Clara), my last thought for the night was this is probably the only time I would describe snoring as relaxing. ;D ------ Valentine's Day is on my mind. I was looking for something for my hubby. I came across this. Looks like fun eh? :) |
