CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Christmas is fast approaching and it's all around the corner. People thinking of their wish lists, busy shopping for gifts, attending parties and all. As always, Christmas season is indeed the busiest season for me and don't forget the fact that it's expensive. LOL. Got tons of invitations for Christmas party and get together, can I just attend without spending? I wish! Haha. Oh well, that's the purpose of this season, to give and share your blessings. I am just thankful as God has given me a lot and it'll never hurt to share it to the people around you once in a while.

Happy Holidays!

LONG TIME NO BLOG

Yessss, I am still alive and kicking! It's been more than a month that I haven't made a post here, same goes to my photo blog. There's just a lot of stuffs going on lately that keeps me occupied. Weeks pass by too quickly, little did I know that Christmas is already around the corner. A lot of things happened in a span of one month, seems like a year. LOL. 

I seriously miss writing and posting here in my blog. This is one way for me to express my thoughts and emotions. It just feels good whenever I jot down or type in my thoughts, I wonder why. I guess it's because I am better expressing my thoughts through writing. As I always say, I'm not really comfortable being a speaker and is more of a writer. And whenever I go back and read my previous posts, it has that magical feeling of reminiscing and remembering the same exact occurrence. Weird me? I know! Haha. 

Will again be posting past events. =)

DOESN'T MEAN...

The caption graphic goes to i-am-iNa . I am pre-occupied with a lot of things lately and that includes updating Through the Lens. But that doesn't mean I don't love this blog anymore! I do and I felt a little bad not updating it. LOL! There's actually a lot going on lately but my mind's too tired to put it into writing. Let me start with the things I find interesting these past few days. Will try...

I'M BUSY LIVING

Haven't visited my blog for like a week. Me was so occupied lately and would always want to rest during my free hours. Not much happened. Work still eat most of my time. Haha! I am truly blessed that I have my lil' man at the end of the day. At times I wish that I could just be a full-time Mom, but that would be an impossible wish for a single-parent like me. I am just so thankful to God for giving me such a wonderful son, he completes me. :)

TONIGHT, I WANT....

It's a weekend again and I feel like enjoying it tonight. The statements above hit it, but not the 3rd one though.  Or not so?! LOL. I just really wanna have some fun tonight. After being stressed at work for 5 days, I do need to go out on a weekend. :)

IT'S CROWDED LATELY

I've neglected my blog these past few days. There's just a lot going on lately, even sleeping was like a task that you need to do just because your body needs to. But if not, seems like I won't be sleeping to keep up with all the things I have to do. The longest hours of sleep I could have this past few days is 5 hours. 

It's not just about work but other stuffs too. I already have a full plate with many side dishes. My world is too crowded lately. I'm not complaining, it's actually much better to have a crowded world than an isolated one. I just need to remind myself when to slow down if stuffs are getting out of hand. Well, I am learning how. =)

I SURVIVED MONDAY

I survived Monday!

You know how it was when you came from your rest days and it's the first day of the week?! Workloads are like sitting next to you, waiting impatiently for them to get done. Last night at work, stuffs just keep on coming and I don't know which to prioritize. Some had slipped my mind then it'll pop in my head again and I would just say like "sh***t!" LOL. That's why I had a lot of post-its and keeps on jotting down notes at my planner. I am such a forgetful person. I can feel that this is going to be a long week. Oh yeah, it's going to be a tiring but productive week. =)

TAKE A DEEP BREATH

There's just a lot on my plate lately and there were times I felt that it's more of what I can take. I'm the type of person who don't give up easily. Lately, I am wondering if that trait really helps me now. I am literally getting tired and sick of all these. But the doer in me still stands out. When everything that surrounds me seems like a dilemma, I just take a deep breath to calm my mind. I hope this works for long.

MUCH AWAITED OFF!

It's been a long and tiring week.

transition

adjustments

maintenance

updates

meetings

trainings

deadlines

What a week! LOL. But still I know that rest days will come. This is it! Finally, I'm getting some rest now.

The much awaited OFF!

NEXT OCCASION PLEASE...

One fine day.

It was nice seeing my cousins at last.

It's been awhile.

Everything is different now.

We were all occupied by our work and such stuffs.

We only get to see each other when there is an occasion.

I am waiting for the next... =)

IT'S REALLY THE THOUGHT

2 days to go before Christmas and I still don't have gifts to give with some colleagues and friends. :(

 I can sense that what I'll be giving will be one of my Mom's recipe. It's not bad at all. My Mom is the best when it comes to cooking. And it's really the thought that counts anyways.

1st DAY OF DECEMBER

 

Tomorrow is going to be the first day of December and Christmas is fast approaching. I am not feeling the spirit of holidays which is totally fine with me. It's the month of Christmas but it seems that everyone was just to busy to think or even prepare for the holidays. I haven't seen much of Christmas decors or even the sparkling and colorful lights during this time of the year. 

 But I know that it's still going to be a happy day. Maybe people simply can't leave their ongoing whatever with work, school and all. Haha. Which is what I am experiencing right now. I can't find the right time to do my holiday shopping and I am hoping I'll be able to make it this week during my off. I need to prepare my list and check who's been naughty and nice this year. LOL! 

For me, Christmas is really a time for giving. Not that you only need to give gifts when it's Christmas. But gift-giving serves as a symbol of being thankful, it's also one way of expressing your greatness and love for that person who's receiving the gift. It needs not to be extravagant or expensive, as they always say, "It's the thought that truly counts."

Children were the main characters in this event. I believe that Christmas is the best holiday ever to a kid. Maybe because of the flowing gifts and the thought that Santa will grant all your wishes if you have just been good.

Now that I am a Mom, it's time to act as Santa for my son. Haha. My kiddo is actually thinking that Mr. Santa Claus really does not exist. But then again, he still hang socks in the window and put there his wish list for Christmas. I know, at the back of his mind that Mr. Santa Claus might be real after all. Or maybe, it's his way to tell me and everybody in our house what gifts he wants. LOL!

I don't want to greet everyone yet, it's too early for the greetings. I just hope everyone can buy me gifts. Happy shopping for now! Hahaha... =)

IT'S NOW SUNDAY?

It's my first official week to work on a weekend. Ever since I had this current work of mine, I was always on a weekend off. So now that it changed, I am not that excited about weekends anymore. Please take note of the fact that I didn't realize it's Sunday today! How fast... I just forgot what Sunday feels like. Is that a good sign or what not? =) 

BE BACK SOON

There's just a lot of things going on lately and it only makes me look forward on having myself type in this blog my thoughts and views. I miss blogging.

Will be back soon...

100th POST

I haven't written here in my blog for a couple of days and just realized that it was now my 100th post. I didn't notice the number of posts that I have here until now. Just remembering those days that I started this blog. It was around August of last year when I resigned from my previous job and I was just at home during those times. I eventually got bored by doing nothing and think of something that I can make use of my time with.

I love writing ever since and wasn't able to do it for quite some time then, so making my own blog had hit me. I enjoyed jotting here my thoughts and was able to share it with others as well. Before, I really don't have any idea how this blogging thing works. At first, I don't know what 'following' and 'followers' really meant. Until I learned it day by day. I started to have followers in a matter of days, had visited different blogs, followed those I found interesting, leave comments to those posts I enjoyed reading and can totally relate with.

It was fun writing and knowing that some people appreciates my work. I wasn't really expecting that I would have followers here who would take time to read my posts and leave comments. I feel overwhelmed whenever I received comments saying that I had made their day better just because of something that they had read on my blog. It was not really the purpose of having this blog, but got to admit that I was flattered by my followers and their comments.

Write to express and not to impress is the role of my blog. But then again, I want to thank those people who are constantly visiting this blog and wasted some time on reading it's content.

TRANSITION

new beginnings
changes
adjustments
getting used to it
seeking for help
asking for guidance
knowing the do's and dont's
learning

These were the things that my life is revolving right now. Just got promoted and I am preoccupied with all of these and was trying to grasp each one of them. It is indeed a big transition for me and I got to admit that I am still on the process of being accustomed to all the new tasks that was given to me. It was kind of hard for me now, still adjusting, but these fresh and unknown things just serve as a challenge for me to make it there. I am giving myself enough time, and sooner or later, I can do it just like everyone else does...

DOING STUFFS

i am doing stuff

and will be doing more stuff later

and no doubt tomorrow

and everyday after that...


readying myself for those stuffs... LOL!
