Mind Talk
Jul 15
So today is Mind Talk este Girl’s Talk and we’re talking about our powerful minds. If I were still studying, I would brag about being in the honor roll, the medals, and the awards I got at school (hmm, did I do just that?LOL!) but now that I’m almost 30 I’m not comfortable talking about it anymore. It’s because I realized that real life is really different than school. Looking back, I think maybe I was just good at answering exams at schools. 
So what can I brag about my mind after school? It’s much harder now because there are no more quarterly tests in real life to measure how I do. But little by little I am knowing more and more about how my mind works. I have realized that in order to be good at something I have to be obsessive about it to the point of ignoring everything else. It’s not healthy and I’m still working on having a balanced life. If you know the secret then please do tell me!
So that’s my short entry for today. I have done about five revisions on this post and I have decided to just delete the other things because once I start blabbing I can’t seem to control myself. hihi
Drama in the Household and The Forgotten File
May 14I messed up last night. I wasn’t able to submit the file that I did. It was all my fault. I finished early and I wanted to turn off the PC right away so I can rest. I figured I have plenty of time to submit it later. Unfortunately, in the afternoon there was drama in our household. Me, Z, and his playmate, Jave go to the playground every afternoon. So when Z woke up from his afternoon nap we quickly went downstairs to fetch Jave. I found Jave in front of the TV and I thought he was alone in the house. We couldn’t leave his house unlocked while we go to the playground so I looked around the neighborhood for his uncle. I specifically told Z and his playmate to go back to the house and watch TV while I look around and his playmate heard me loud and clear but Z didn’t. So when I got back to the house Z was already crying. No amount of persuasion – his dad tried first and then me next – could convince him to stop crying. I reasoned with him, threatened him, spanked him, and finally pleaded with him but he told me he was in no mood to go out. So there we were in sitting in front of each other, no one spoke a word, and no one wanted to give in. I so badly want to go out and get some fresh air and get a little bit of exercise which I need after a long day stuck with the office furniture. Finally, with a heavy heart I finally gave in. I changed back to my home clothes and laid down. That’s when Z told me if I waited a little bit more he would have agreed to go. What a naughty, naughty boy he was yesterday! To prove his point he went downstairs and called to me saying he’s now ready to go. So what was poor me to do? I changed clothes again and we went to the playground. It was already fifteen minutes before 6pm but the sun was still up so we still went. Anyway, we got back a little before 7pm and I was really tired. I helped Z take a bath, fried some dinner, and we ate. We watched a little TV and then went to bed at 8pm. I woke up the next morning and the first thing I thought was my forgotten file. There were a lot of calls on my phone but I was already too late. Ugh, that was such a waste of time. I didn’t get paid for what I did and I’m sure my employers were not so happy with me. *sigh
Pregnancy Symptoms
May 08My second pregnancy is harder than my first. For one, I’ve been having some morning sickness which I didn’t experience during my first. I’m very particular with the kinds of food I eat and would not eat when I don’t feel like it. It feels like I’m taking the appetite suppressant, phentermine, even though I’m not while at the same time having food cravings. The worst part is I don’t have any idea what I’m craving. 
Anyway, I’m not letting it affect my mood and just taking it one day at a time. I’m even proud of myself that I accompanied Z for five straight days to his VBS. I will be having more responsibilities and I better keep up with it.
Working at Home
May 01When I was still working I was so unhappy leaving my son at home. I felt that a mother should always be with her child. I hated the fact that I have to work and can’t afford to stay at home. When my hubby got promoted and I had the chance to stay at home I found out that being at home – although I’m happy with my son – can be pretty boring. I was bored from the endless cycle of house chores – cooking, cleaning up, washing the clothes. I wanted something to stimulate my mind. So I decided to look for a job online that I can do at the comfort of our home. I found one and I’ve been with that company for almost two years. Although my career as a work-at-home mom is not as glamorous and high paying as other women’s careers it certainly is very fulfilling for me. I can look after my son and not miss any growing milestone and I get to earn at the same time.
It's My 29th Birthday
Apr 15
Happy Birthday to me! That’s me at 29 years old. I’m not sad that I’m getting closer to 30, surprisingly! I’m at peace with my age now. I don’t know next year, though. LOL!
Anyway, I made a nice post about myself here for the BC Bloggers’ Party that I’ve organized. It’s a long post about me and my family. That’s a warning from me so don’t click if you’re tired of hearing all about me. hehe
So what’s my wish for my birthday? Well, I just found out I’m pregnant with my second baby and he/she is going to come out before this year ends so my wish is number one, a healthy baby and number two, an easy pregnancy and delivery. I also wish that I can have some income that wouldn’t require that much time. I’m not sure anymore how I can do my transcription work with me pregnant and pretty soon having a demanding baby so I wish more blogging income and hopefully some passive income too. That’s it! Well, wish me luck peeps!
