Question I ask myself sometimes
Happy Weekend!
It would be a working weekend for me.

i’m back, i think
I miss blogging. All I do nowadays is write. Write for a quick buck even if it means spending hours in front of the computer for a measly dollar. But it’s still good money. One buck here, a buck there and they pile up, it’s still huge money. That’s how I think now whereas before, I wouldn’t even get up and get out of bed to get to a meeting that would mean huge commissions for me. Aha, time really flies so fast. And now I couldn’t even get clients to pay me 10 dollars for a 500 word article. Sad. At least, there’s work and there’s money. Anyway, I miss blogging. I could write whatever I want here without worrying about word count or grammar. This is my space and even if I write an alien language, no one and by that I mean, no one would ever say, “hey, you didn’t use the right keyword here. Search engines see pilot and pilots as two different things.” Crap, when I searched for pilots, pilot also appeared in search engines. These clients are perfectionists in a weird kind of way.
Hmmm, so how have you all been? I just came by to say I miss blogging and it might be another week or two before I could even come back here. Right this minute, I have three more articles to write not counting my client from Lithuania who wants me to write about engineering schools in India, 3000 words. No specifics. Just that. What’s so interesting about engineering? Oh well, to each his own. So have a good two weeks and talk to you soon.

good morning sunshine!
This is not the view from my balcony.
Wish it were though.
I need flowers.
Perhaps I should buy a pot of something purple flower.
I need to walk this feeling off just to prepare for something busy this week.
Unsure…that’s the feeling now.
Make this week work.
I beg you.
With everything going on right now, I need something solid.
Something that won’t break into pieces.
Something.
Thoughts for the day.
Thoughts for the week.

My goodness! I know I haven’t updated but that’s because these past few days have been beyond busy! I only got to sleep 4 to 5 hours most days this week and now I feel like a zombie about to die again. I’ll tell you more about that later on when the busyness has finally died down.
I did not go on shopping sprees although that would have been nice. Part of my busyness has to do with finding more work to augment my income. I need money, you know. Anyway, when you’re busy, you tend to lose sight of everything except the one you’re currently focused on. So I became more tired than usual. I stopped doing my chores. I even stopped washing my face in the evenings as I was so tired and sleepy. My clothes started piling up, the dishes started creeping from my sink. Awful mess, really. But today, I get to relax. But tomorrow would be another busy day. I should be happy because it means more money coming in. But deep inside I am feeling unsure and stressed, and couldn’t find pleasure in the situation I’m in.
All I want to do is hug my little girl all day and watch television but I can’t. I have to work. In the meantime, I am hoping you all had a good weekend. I’m leaving you with this picture as I go back to my temporary happiness. Back to reality again tomorrow. =(

I stopped making New Year’s resolutions a few years ago after making too many unfulfilled promises and goals to myself and feeling bad about it. I’m not knocking them if you’re a fan and have tried to do your resolutions all year long, I’m just no good with such a big weight on my shoulders. Well, my New Year’s resolutions are no biggie (I’ll lose 50 lbs and be a waif for once in my life or I’ll single-handedly be responsible for world peace), but I can’t seem to do them. =)
Right now, I promise to instead of resolve something major, I would try to make smaller life decisions that are part of my daily existence. I plan to eat one salad a day, drink more water, keep in touch with people who matter, stick to one cigarette a week, and clean up as I go. And of course, avoid the laundry from overflowing. Easy enough to do because I know they’re all possible without too much trouble. What are your goals for 2010?

dailies: best christmas ever
December 26, 2009
This Christmas is the best Christmas ever. We all had fun in Boracay as we dined, drank, swam and ate our hearts out. The family was inseparable. We did everything together as we tried to catch up on each other’s lives. It was good to talk. No conflicts, no hassles. I wish every day would be as uncomplicated as the last four days in this beautiful island. But it’s back to reality for us. In any case, hope you had a wonderful time with your family on Christmas day. Here are a few pictures from our Christmas in Boracay.

This was such an intense week. Actually, it feels this way every week but this week is a bit different because instead of staying home for the weekend, I’m miles away from my cozy bed and lovely TV. And to top it all, MG has cough and colds and the weather here in Tagaytay is much too cold for us. I’ve also been putting up a valiant effort to fight off a cold that’s threatening to ruin my week and fitness routine. But it seems to be winning. So I might down a bottle of Ascorbic Acid later on. If you hear in the news of a lady dying from Vitamin C overdose, that would be me.
Anyway, it’s probably too late for some but I hope you all have a happy weekend…wherever you may be…
I’ll leave you with this rare photo of Brooke!=)
