Blog Challenge: Something that I miss I just transitioned from being single with no dependent to being single with dependent. In other words, I just became a parent. And as most of the people who, well, technically changed status, there will always be a few something that you miss doing. I hope I will not be looked at in a bad angle for being honest with this topic. One of the things that I miss is my “me” time. Before I got pregnant, I have the liberty to do whatever I want whenever I want. I have quite an impulsive […]
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 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 […]
Day 7: Dream Job and Nap Time
Blog Challenge: Dream Job I dunno. I wanted to be a pediatrician for the longest time. Then I made a turn to a different direction. Then there was a time when I my goal was to become an executive. Not sure what kind, though. 😛 I would go up the corporate ladder easily, own three cars and a house. Well, not exactly a dream job. Anyway, I haven’t really thought about this for a long, long time. I  have always thought that climbing the corporate ladder will be easy as 1-2-3. I never realized that being in the corporate world […]
Day 6: Last Random Act of Kindness and Breakfast
Blog Challenge: Last random act of kindness How would you know if something you did is indeed an act of kindness? I’ve been thinking of what to blog about this topic since last night and I always come back to this question. What if something you did is just part of what you normally do? You don’t even think about it afterwards. Unknowingly, the person on the receiving end felt like you handed them the world and thinks that you are the kindest person ever? (exaggeration intended :P) Let’s create a scenario here with the above premise. I will exaggerate […]
Day 5: Favorite Movies and Black and White
Blog Challenge: Favorite movies you never get sick of watching Thinking about this, I can think of two at the moment: Edward Scissorhands and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. (I know there are still a few more but my mind’s almost dead at this time as I haven’t had any sleep yet. Don’t ask how long. :P)  I like Johnny Depp because of his versatility as an actor. He played his character, Edward Scissorhands, very well. But that is not the reason why I never get sick of watching this movie. I like this because I see it as something […]
Day 3: What Makes You Happy And A Smile
Blog Challenge: What makes you happy? Honestly, this is quite a simple question to answer but for some reason I find myself thinking hard about it. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy. I just like to think a lot, too. LOL! And I guess when I answer this question, it is more of the who rather than the what. So, the no-brainer answer to this question would be: being with family and friends. They make me happy even if there are times that I would rather be alone than be with any of them. I love my family and […]
Day 2: Favorite Quotes and Out and About
Blog Challenge: Favorite quotes I am not the kind of person that has a certain quote that I live by or even something that I can say my favorite. Â But here is something that I have kept posted in my cork board at work. Something to remind me about the difference of a boss and a leader. I found this during the times when our workplace was chaotic and power struggle was everywhere. It was actually a very shameful time that was. Oh well, so here goes: A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader […]
