I'm trying to keep my blog updated and I really am staying true to my word. I'm having a grand time choosing templates for my blog and I think I've found the perfect template. It's all about books, books, and more books. Although my blog focuses on my everyday activities and not particularly on books, I still find it the perfect fit because I love to read, read, and read. Ever since I can remember, I've been reading books. I grew up surrounded by books and I read voraciously, so I am really pleased to choose this template for my blog.

   I know I don't sound too good today. I just had dinner with Emman and baby Van and I'm so full I'm bursting at the seams that all I want to do right now is hit the sack. I know I can't do it though! I still have a lot of things to finish like the article I'm editing and I still need to check on my mails. hehe... I'm way behind my tasks and I still have to get up early tomorrow to do the laundry. Isn't it fun being a mom? But hey, I'm not complaining. I love my kids and it doing the laundry is like an exercise for me too.


   Well I just realized something. I'm going to make this short because I can't think clearly anymore. I'm so effin sleepy so I'm really gonna hit the sack! Nyt2x everyone...

Over everything!

   A month ago I decided to make the ultimate decision. I resigned from my stable job and instead focused on being a full-time mother and part-time home-based worker. I wasn't happy with the way things were going on in the office and I could picture myself being transferred from one project to another for the rest of my employment in the company. Although training from one project to another is a blessing, it helped me become very flexible, the constant shift has taken its toll on the quality of articles I produced. I mixed one project instruction with the other project and I was afraid that sooner or later, I would make a major error that can create a major feedback. And something about the atmosphere in the office that's proving to be unhealthy and contagious has been going on lately. There's a certain enmity lurking within the CE group and I couldn't shake off the bad feeling. I was also becoming really agitated and irritable and I didn't like it one bit. Something about the way things are being implemented. I really hated it! 

  

  Going without household help for months has also left me exhausted that I had to resign. I had to do almost everything and I was really burned out. My limit has been stretched and I've been bingeing on all the comfort foods I know as a stress buster. I shop for chocolates, chips, ice cream, and of course, my favorite meringue. Suffice it to say that I've been getting bigger and bigger with each passing day. From 115 lbs. to 130 lbs. and that's really something... tsk..tsk... As much as I'd like to buy new clothes to accommodate my bigger body comfortably, I could not do so. 

     Of course, now that I'm at home I'm bigger than ever, but I'm not worried though. I plan to start a diet and exercise regimen that will surely ensure a slimmer and healthier body. tehee... Hope I can do it. Anyway, I'm trying my hand at writing and I'm thankful for a college acquaintance who recommended me to his boss. I write articles on various niches and I really like the experience although I run out of words to write every once in a while. My boss is  very understanding and our working relationship is A-okay. I also am applying for the freelance program of my previous company because I find the work very beneficial for me and of course, I have to give back something for the company that gave us food on the table for four years. I've always been thankful for the job and even if I sometimes complain about the working conditions, I still owe it to continue working for them even on a part-time basis.

     Lastly, I'm happy with the way things are going because I get to spend most of my time with the kiddos. It's been very fulfilling, although sometimes frustrating, and I'm very grateful for this blessing from the Lord. I love being a work-at-home mom! I'm a certified homebody so a good book is my idea of a quality R&R!
