CHILL mom!
December 6th, 2009
This happened last week.
While I was putting away DS’s old baby beddings for thrift store donation, he was busy playing in the tub.
DS: Mom, more boats!
ME: What’s the magic word? I won’t get them for you if you don’t say the magic word!
DS: HARRY POTTER!
ME: Wahehehe, alright, 2 boats coming your way.
This one happened twice, last week and today.
When he sees me almost freaking out with his mess (as in terrible mess!), he would start running away and with matching big laughter. But this time, he reacted differently.
DS: Nyaaa big mess mom!
ME: Yes, it’s okay as long as you help me pack away later.
DS: Not again!
ME: Di ba sabi ni mommy, ayaw na nya marinig ang ‘not again’ na yan!
DS: CHILL MOM, CHILL!
Blame it on Drake and Josh!

TGIF, not!
December 4th, 2009
WHOA! It’s TGIF! While most of you have been rejoicing this Friday, I’m not boohoo! This research job I took as a sideline is taking most of my time and literally taking everything out of me hee hee. The deadline is this Sunday so you can imagine how I am bidding to weekend this week. My folks, DH and DS are having a fanta-bulous time while I am here in Barnes&Nobles with friends and colleagues burning our A** off. Anyways, after this week and the next, I can claim my holiday leave and start having fun again.
Off to the next topic of this entry, my WEIGHT! Yay! I have to really start taking care of myself because I am gaining a pound each day 
. I turn to food in times of stress and food is definitely what keeps me company during the night. To add to all these, my mom is here to whip all the sumptuous dishes we misses plus my usualy Starbucks beverage which of course is gobbled with hundreds of calories yay! But then again, these reasons shouldn’t be what I should be focusing on. I should turn on my discipline and self-control button today. December 4. I hope I have the will because if I end up being like this for long, I might hate how I look like in the mirror.
Happy Weekend Y’all! Off to check this solid waste management site. I need it for our research.

WOW.
December 1st, 2009
Lifted from Paulo Coehlo’s Blog…
A sword can last a short time, but the warrior has to last a long time. That is why he must not let himself be fooled by his own capacity and so be taken by surprise. To each thing he gives the true value that it deserves.
Often, when he is faced with serious matters, the devil whispers in his ear: “Do not bother about that, that’s not serious.”
Other times, when he is faced with trivial matters, the devil whispers: “You need to spend all your energy on solving this situation.”
The warrior does not listen to what the devil is saying. He is the master of his sword.
Pay attention to your allies
A warrior does not associate with anyone who wishes him harm. Nor is he seen in the company of those who want to “console” him.
He avoids whoever is only at his side in moments of defeat. These false friends want to prove that weakness has its rewards. They always bear bad news. They always try to destroy the warrior’s trust, under the disguise of “solidarity”.
When they see him injured they break into tears, but deep in their hearts they are happy because the warrior has lost a battle. They fail to understand that this is a part of combat.
A warrior’s true companions are at his side at each and every moment, in times both difficult and easy.
Negotiating with the enemy
When the moment of combat draws near, the Warrior of Light is prepared for any circumstance. He analyzes each possibility and asks himself: “What would I do if I had to fight against myself?”
This is how he discovers his weak points.
At this moment the adversary approaches, carrying a bag filled with promises, agreements and negotiations. He has tempting proposals and easy alternatives to offer.
The warrior analyzes each of these proposals; he also seeks an agreement, but without losing his dignity. If he avoids combat, it is not because he was seduced – but rather because he decided that this was the best strategy.
A Warrior of Light does not accept presents from the enemy.
On the defense and on the attack
The warrior is careful with people who think they can control the world, determine their own steps, and are certain that they know the right path. They are always so confident in their own capacity of decision that they do not realize the irony with which fate writes everyone’s life.
The Warrior of Light has dreams. His dreams carry him forward. But he never commits the mistake of thinking that the road is easy and the door wide.
He knows that the Universe works like alchemy: solve et coagula, say the masters. ”Concentrate and disperse your energy according to the situation.”
There are moments to act and moments to accept.
In the face of defeat
The Warrior of Light knows how to lose. He does not hold defeat as something indifferent, using phrases like “well, it wasn’t all that important”, or “to tell the truth, I did not really want that”.
He accepts defeat as a defeat; he does not try to change it into a victory or an experience. He suffers the pain of his wounds, the indifference of his friends and the loneliness of loss. At such moments he says to himself: “I fought for something, and I failed to get it. I lost the first battle.”
This phrase will give him strength. He is aware that nobody wins all the time – but the courageous always win in the end.

MISMO!

moving to Texas.
December 1st, 2009
I have been very diligent in submitting my Curriculum Vitae to almost all of the Job Banks and Job Search Engine online. I have also consumed a huge amount of time sending copies of my CVs to friends and relatives who know of any job openings. After doing this for a week now, I was surprised to find out that 2 potential employers have scheduled me for an interview, the sad thing is it is located in Texas. So instead, I referred a cousin of mine who is currently based in Texas. Speaking of her, she cannot help but rave about the services of their newly-acquired Direct TV in Texas.
You see, her husband is a huge fan of sports channels and by subscribing to Direct Satellite TV, she gets the best sports channels while keeping her long list of movie channels. I bet they won’t have any problems switching those channels anymore. If you do not know how amazing Directv deals and packages are, check out DirectsAtTV.com for more information.
