I couldn’t sleep. I am tired, my back hurts, my head is starting to hurt and I really, really want to sleep now, yet my mind is still awake. So let me just segue a bit from the usual mommy journey that I have been blogging about lately. My country has been hit with what was declared as one of the strongest typhoons Friday last week, leaving a lot of places totally devastated. I have tried to avoid watching the news but to no avail since my Facebook page newsfeeds was full of news. I have browsed some of them […]
Day 11: Last Book Read and Bath Time
Blog Challenge: Last Book Read Geez, the last time I read a book feels like a lifetime ago. Let me see, hmmm. I think the last book I read was one of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I just can’t remember if it was book 16 or something else. So I guess if you want me to tell you the synopsis, I can’t. I don’t remember how the story goes. There was a time when I had way too much time on my hands that I could grab a book and read until I finish it or until […]
Day 10: Daily Routine and Favorite Toy
Blog Challenge: Daily Routine Yeah. Uh huh. What routine? LOL! I think I lost my routine when I started my maternity leave. The routine that I knew was: wake up, prepare for work, go to work, get coffee, work, work, work, work, get something to eat (if I remember to eat), work, work, get coffee, work, (is that light outside? Oh crap it is almost morning, I gotta get home), work, go home, prep for bed, sleep for the next 3-4 hours. Then the whole thing starts again. During weekends, the scenario would be, wake up, stare at the ceiling, channel […]
Day 9: Bucket List and Where They Sleep
Blog Challenge: Life List / Bucket List I don’t have an actual list written down somewhere although there are quite a lot of things that I would like to do before I die. Or before I get too old to do them. I don’t know if I will ever be able to do them, but then who said you can’t dream of something outrageous, right? So, here are a few of the things that I have in my virtual list: 1) Skydiving. This is something that I have wanted to do for a long, long time. The thought of jumping […]
Day 8: Biggest Pet Peeve and Favorite Photo
Blog Challenge: Biggest Pet Peeve My biggest pet peeve: government offices. Seriously. I hate dealing with government offices. If I could only avoid it, I would. But a lot of requirements needed come from government agencies. And trust me, I could go on and on and on and on about my complaints for each and every agency I’ve encountered. My top reasons for this will be: red tape, their lack of respect for time, a lot of known loopholes in the process but no action is being done to fix it. I guess those are the top ones reasons I […]
Trip Down Memory Lane: Remembering Daddy
I was at the mall earlier with little Zaine. One of the things that we do together on weekends. I know he still doesn’t have any idea what we are doing or where we are going at this stage but I just want to expose him to different sounds. After looking around and listening to his surroundings, he slept. LOL! The malls have already started with their Christmas themes. Christmas decorations are being sold as early as September, pre-holiday sales are everywhere, store clerks are now swapping their halloween costumes/masks to santa hats and red shirts (for some). Yep, Christmas […]
