wow, seems like i've left this trap shut for sometime now. not even sure if its worthwhile to resurrect this space. didn't have time to update like before. and i guess getting hooked to facebook kept me away. playing kiddie games like yoville and pet society can be so addicting. hahaha. yeah, i know i can get so lame sometimes. howell, signs of aging i guess. hahah

well, what i like abt facebook is that your friends comment on your status almost all the time. and being out of the social limelight, its just nice to keep in touch with people in bits and pieces. i have my aunts abroad as friends and its fun to hear their comments on how i'm doing back home.  really cool.

updates:

careerwise - i'm doing well at work. getting recognition for all the hardwork i have done the past two years. making a name for myself in the regional level and global level too. just wrapped up a SOX management testing i did in our Jakarta office two weeks ago. and this time i did the testing alone. i used to have a buddy tester but since most are busy with other projects i had to test two company codes in one week. not an easy task but it was worth the sleepless nights and brain draining days.

domesticwise - i just recently got househelp. training her still but at least less things to worry about. busy preparing for june 8 school opening. with my bunso studying also together with her other siblings i feel more fulfilled as a mom having my children together in one place. i get to take care of all of them without the guilt of letting one study away from me.

things to look forward to:

a global project that i will spearhead for APAC - i was nominated by our regional controller and i have to prove that i am worth his trust for giving me this job.

visiting relatives in la union - finally after a long time i get to visit my aunts and pay respects to my dad. its my grandmother's one year death anniversary and my aunts told me to be there and prepare one song number. hahaha. as if! i said "pwede ba mga apo sa tuhod na lang?" they wouldn't budge. so when it rains on June 6. its because i'm singing somewhere in the north. =)

a road trip with friends - we are planning a group trip at the office to laoag, pagudpud, etc. hopefully within the month. we really need a break. the fresh air and the change in scenery would help relieve the stress. and its nice to feel single for 3 days and 2 nights. hahaha

turns out i have so much to say. so its worthwhile resurrecting this space after all. even for just these little insignificant rants. =)

its the time of year to shop for school supplies and other school things. i have never been fond of joining the last minute rush. so this year we did the shopping during mall opening hours and in a place na di masyadong tao like glorietta. hehehe

i know in terms of price its a bit higher in this area. but a bit more convenient. not too crowded and very accessible to and from mandaluyong. so there we did our shopping yesterday. began at 10am and finished at 1pm with an hour lunch break. i think it pays to be ready. an organized list is the secret. hehehe

imagine my suprise when we went to sm fairview today to check something with smart. the crowd was unbelievable. and everybody seemed to be stressed out with all the rush shopping that they are all doing. good thing talaga i did my shopping somewhere else. winner! =)

i got this email and its nice to share it. read on....

And when I thought I was fully out of it I realized today that

....OLD Habits die hard!

its book hunting day and i was able to get myself 3 books from books-for-less. (how redundant!)

always difficult to get out of the shop. book hunting can take so much of my time. hahaha so many choices and so little time to read them all.

still on the look out for HP book7. haven't read it yet.  out of stock sa national and even the small bookshops wala. kainis!
