Parang Preso

When I left my last job and started with my current one. I had a tough time adjusting. For 4 years, I had to ask permission for every little thing I needed to do which concerns my work. I had to come in at exactly 830AM. I only have 1 hour lunch time. And, I cannot go out during office hours even just to the nearby concession stand.

In my current job. Not only am I accountable for my work, I don't need to ask permission but I have to be prepared for the consequences. I can come in at 9:30AM. And, I can take my lunch til 230PM. I can go to the nearby grocery to buy my stuffs at odd hours.

It was like coming out of prison. Some prisoners couldn't adjust after being shelled for years that they do bad things again just to go back (saw this at Shawshank Redemption movie). Or take their own lives.

In fairness though, the coming out was the only semblance. I adjusted fairly well after 2 years. Today is my 2nd year anniversary coming out from HaDaBa!

Also, Pre is coming out today. I dedicate today's blog to him. Congratulations!

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

2015

Looking back, 2015 is a mix of lows and highs, of mourning and dancing... 2015 held lots of firsts for us.  Ate T stepped into the world of secondary school and became a teen.  Ate A entered the world of school politics LOL and became a double digit tween.  Of course, not to be excluded is our cheeky baby A who turned 1 year old. Though this is not a first but I turned 40 this year.  Life begun as they say.  But, for me, it was just a continuation of the life I am trying to live wonderfully.  Though most of the happening during the first half of the year were more on the highs...  We faced some challenges on the second half.  We lost Tatay.  Though we prayed for his comfort, we couldn't help feel the lost.  A few weeks after, Pre's employer closed shop.  One day notice and bam!  No more office to go to.  I always believed that the Lord always prepare us for the best.  Pre's job hunting was not as pai...
