BEST OF 2011

Finally! I sort of stolen some time to blog about my highlights last year. I guess it's never too late right? And I guess I just can't stop myself from blabbing! So here you go, take a bite, it's alright. =)



Reiko -- I knew God has a reason why he blessed me with such a wonderful baby boy. He knows I can carry on with this big responsibility of raising a child. I'm so blessed to be given this gift and like what I always say, my life is worth living with him around. I'm so excited to let him see how wonderful the world is!

The joy of having my own family -- being a wife and a mother at the same time is I think the hardest job in the world. Really, there's no crash course and no refresher. And even if we're given one, it would still be totally different if you're already in this real scenario. Nevertheless, I feel very open and challenged with this new opportunity. I know that this is a learning process and I'm striving to be better each day.

Reiko's Baptism -- Before we went home to GenSan, my mom said she wanted to give her grandson a welcome party and since that's the case, she suggested that we have Reiko baptized in Gensan and we agreed. At 8 months, Reiko is now a Roman Catholic. I'll do my best so he would grow up living the real Catholic values not just in words but also in deeds.

My most favorite photo (taken during Christmas Day & Reiko's Baptism) -- After a series of issues and misunderstandings - love, care, and forgiveness remained in our hearts. We are one family and I'm so happy that Al took the challenge of facing my family (especially my father) again. I'm much more grateful that my father welcomed him and Reiko with open arms. That alone meant so much to me.

And as much as I don't want to talk about work here, I just have to because my job, no matter how toxic it can get, taught me a lot. I learned to be patient (although I believe I already am even before), to be more open, to defend myself, and to believe that I am capable of doing more. My colleagues formed part of my 2011 because without them, I think I wouldn't have made it to where I am now -- not high up the ladder but at my best. =)

This year is my year and I sure will make the most out of it!

Horoscope 2012, forecast for the 2012 year of the black Dragon

The coming 2012 year of the water Dragon is just about the corner. The Dragon symbol of the 2012 year is an intelligent and laborious worker who never puts aside work though sometimes this leads him to excesses. The water Dragon has enough courage to face challenges and easily finds weak points that stand on his way to success.

HAPPY YEAR OF THE DRAGON EVERYONE!
