Bullet Points

Ack! I posted on the other blog by mistake but I made it!!! Two minutes to spare. Phew..Even with blogging procrastination is something I have to battle with. Anyway here's my first Feb post.

Holiday Recap
  • Best Noche Buena in a long time. I will post about our Balagtasclan reunion and the mini-party mom set-up for the kids who were going around next time.
  • Great time during New Year too. Spent it with Mark's parents and brother's family in Pacita. This also warrants it's own post complete with pictures.
2008 Enters
  • Regrets: I didn't get to download a 2008 background for my old phone like I did last year. I loved the corny 2007 background.
  • Goals: Get a little more fit (am at my heaviest weight ever). Lose some girth. Work on my mental state. Become responsible at work. Have a more structured day for me and Sam. Go on real dates with Mark. Start praying and reading the Bible again.
  • Issues: Possibility of having an actual office job (part-time).
  • Pressing questions on my mind: Which scenario do I actually fear? Am I escaping the fact that I'm a failure as a mom if I work or that I'm a failure as a career girl?
  • Mood: Existentialist mode (which simply means I'm confused). Help! :p
Latest Highlights of My Life
  • The holidays
  • Sleepover of Ninong Ian's latest luurve and our get-together with BEDMI minus Ian and Mart (plus Cha of course).
  • Mark's Mama and me finally opening up to each other about how we felt about me and Mark getting married at first.
  • Sam's pa-cute/beautiful eyes mode and other new skills.
Wants
  • The next book to the series I am reading.
  • Ceramic iron (for my short hair).
  • New clothes. Yay!
  • Washing machine.
  • Oven.
  • House decors (Ref magnets whee!)
Characteristics to Cultivate
  • Optimism
  • Perseverance
  • Discipline
  • Courage
I guess this post turned out to be more eclectic than I intended to but there's just so much going on in my mind and I don't really have time for anything other than bullet points.

Here's to me posting more frequently!!!

P.S. Thanks to everyone who sent gifts to Sam. Wasn't able to say thank you to anyone really. How embarrassing! We (hehe kasama kami sa nag enjoy sa toys) loved them all!!!

2007 Recap

It's just a few minutes before February and I feel the NEED to blog before January ends. Anyway with just a few minutes to to type away here are some of my thoughts and some events in my life.

2007 Recap
  • Good in terms of Mark's career move.
  • Very good in terms of Sam's improvement health-wise.
  • Very good in terms of opportunities opening up to me.
  • Very bad in terms of me making the most out of opportunities.
  • Very good in terms of starting to have an even better relationship with Mark.
  • Very good in terms of finding a good helper.
  • Very good in terms of me taking more steps to be closer to my mom and dad.
  • Very good in terms of me taking more concrete steps to get my head get screwed back in place. Pretty poor in terms of making significant progress in that regard.
Need to post!!! More by Feb 1! OC!
