just the Cyprus stuff..t'wasfun!

the cheapest holiday ever!!!!! But very relaxing!!!! We all had a great time!!Loads of amazing stuff..some kinky ones too!!Thanks to ate Betty. Beth and other new friends!

To be or not to be .....

To be or not to be… ‘a lawyer’ - this decision bothers me every now and then.

I love the way I live my life right now, but sometimes I can’t help thinking about things that ‘could have been’ and other stuff that ‘I could have done’. Well, living comfortably was what I was searching for. I had enough of the traffic jams, floods, snatchers and other crazy things that happen around in Manila. Here, I could walk with my favorite jewels on without having to worry about anything. Go for a morning cup of coffee and scones with cream! Hmmm!... that’s just around the corner, I don’t have to drive too far!

As what my friend (Joy Carandang – also a former law school classmate) “Life is short, why make it harder?” hmm.. I guess she has a point. If convenience is what I’m looking for, why subject myself to all these hard works and late night studies/researches, when I could live the kind of life that I have always imagined – that is – to go to work, come home to my loving husband, go for a swim at the pool or just watch TV. No researches!!!!!!

I love what I do at work… working on graphics, write ups, newsletters, advertisements and other stuff that involve creativity. But as what I have mentioned in the beginning of this page, sometimes it bothers me. Deep down inside I wanted to be a lawyer. I’m not sure if it’s the effect of my growing up where I was surrounded with aunts, uncles and great uncles who are all members of the judiciary and indeed honest lawyers whom I always look up to. Perhaps yes, or perhaps it’s really in me.. in my blood. … don’t know….. One thing I’m sure of – the living condition in Manila (i.e. traffic jams, floods and safety) have affected my decision to flee and stay here in Dubai. Well, I guess some things just need to be given up....the point is that i'm happy right now.

Highlights

- this is a part of me now (among other things that i do for what my position entails)...'Highlights'. It's kinda nice feeling to be so much a part of something so great! To be organising a daily newsletter for the in-house guests, yet so frustrating when the facilities are not working in favour of me. Like when the printer breaks down. When the net is very slow, when the toners are not available and when the connection to the printers are not working... whew! what a pain! Since it needs to be done daily, i have to come up with different solutions when this kind of stuff happens... that's when i coined this phrase - I'm here to make things possible!... ( offical trouble shooter hahaha!)

VSSS - means very sweet & special sister

It's my mom and my vsss! My mom - a pretty woman in her early forties, i could say is a very strong woman. Having me and my other 2 siblings before she could reach 30 is not a joke. She got married and had me when she was 16.. soo inlove with my father! Then they had 2 more children - my brother Jan-James and Rachel Ann.

Rachel Ann - whom i call vsss (very sweet & special sister). This is our term of endearment.. nice huh? hmmm... She actualy came up with it. Very creative!
