updates

hi to anyone reading my blog! sorry haven't updated in a looonggg while....i guess some of you know by now how much motherhood and family life can take so much of our time, especially if we do work as well.. but then that's life... for me, family always come first!

so whats new???

well, we've got exactly 16 days 'til take off!! yipee! my hubby and i are very excited to go home, yup, home the Philippines!! 3rd Dec 2005 is the date..although financially we are a bit on the skint side, but we are excited to see family and friends..and of course for them to see our little one..my hubby always tell me if i start to worry about money that, what's important is we get home and be with the people who loves us especially on the holiday season :) and that's true, i guess i just worry too much eh?? hehe ooooohhhh i can't wait to taste the pinoy food i so dearly miss, inihaw na pusit, kinilaw na tuna, lobster, lechon!! yum yum..also the ever delicious pinoy kakanin, like kutchinta, luglug, biko atbp. hehehe i guess i'm gonna add more pound to what i already have :) hehe.. i can't wait to experience the misa de gallo again, i think the last time i attended was before i set foot here in england in 2001, so that's like 5yrs already!! i vow to attend all 9 days though, I've got lots of things to thank God for and ask him for help too..never mind the wake up call every 3am, that's the fun bit of it all isn't it???

back here in London, it's minus 2 degrees last night, as i look out the window, all the green grass has been covered with frost, duh!! i dread winter, I'm never really good in coping with very cold weather eventhough I've been here for 5 yrs now...but the fun part is, all the shops start to decorate Christmas things, so it's very nice to look at..last monday, Westlife officially lit up the christmas tree and lights in oxford street, which was very bright and nice indeed!!

but it tell you, nothing still compares to christmas pinoy style :)
so to all my friends out there in pinas..see you all soon!!
and a Merry Christmas to us all!! may love and peace reign!!
until my next blog..

where's my passion gone?

Have you ever encountered in your life that you're not happy with what you're doing? and you come to think, have i been wasting my time for this for nothing? should i make a grand escape or just change career?..... i have these same feelings right now, and it bothers me alot, for i do not know what to do, all i have is prayers, that God, will one of these days make me see the light... i have so many questions in my life right now that needs answers..
for one, i am not happy with my work now, not that i don't like where i'm working or my colleagues, cause they're great, but i just seem to have lost the passion for nursing?? could this be right? the course i had a fight with my dad cause he wants me to become a doctor and not a nurse but want to be one anyway cause i know that it would be my key to leaving the country and travel abroad??aside from helping humanity?? i wonder where's that passion gone.. or could this be just a phase?..it must be motherhood, i am so deeply overwhelmed with my new role that all i want to do is focus on it..taking care of my son and my husband.. boring?? am i really a housewife material?? might be, but all i know is, it's what i wanted for now..it's making it happen is the difficult part for i have to sacrifice some things.. like cutting my own earnings and purely depending on my hubby's.. would this happen? will God allow it for me? or has he got a much better plan?? i have no answers.. yet i know one day, i will find one.. i'll just have to wait and see..

Finally!

Finally!! it's done and over with..Our best wishes goes to the newly weds
Mr. Jerome Sy & Ms. Kristine Derla now known as Mr. & Mrs. Jerome Sy
hey guys you are so over exposed!! haha (my turn!)

2 Days and counting...

Time is near for this two wonderful couple to walk down the aisle, I offer them my prayers for a happily married life, and wish them all the luck the world could have!! we love them both :-)

what's new?

so? what's new with me?

well nothing much i guess.. the biggest mountain i have to climb recently is going back to work, and being a mom at the same time..it's very hard i tell you, that's why i salute all working mothers out there, who even in the hardships and stress of dividing quality time with family and giving out quality of care to work, has still manage to keep their esteems intact, and produce a well brought up children..i for one, is praying that me and my hubby will pass this test in life with flying colours.. of course with the help of prayers.

this problem i mentioned HERE, has been half answered and others somewhat hanging, but i know that in time, all will be revealed in due time..

christmas is in the air!! and literally yes it is!! temperatures here in London is starting to drop to a single digit, duh!! winter time again, whew! where did summertime go? the other day i went to buy some christeneing cards for my son, and saw on the shelf..Christmas cards!! o well..time does fly!! and it could also mean one thing, time is near for our grand vacation home to our beloved banana republic ;-)

until my next blog!

reminiscing

i was cleaning our room today and came across some photos of friends from the past..then memories came flooding in, funny how time does flies!!

i had fun reminiscing my brothas lovelife though which is within our group of friends, hehe for the record..he likes THIS one since grade school, wooed her after college but somehow things never worked out between them..because, he suddenly thought he liked THIS one better..yet never had the courage to tell her, talk about cowardly actions..or shall i say she was too expensive for his reach :)

so in the long run, and after all the heartaches he caused or them leaving him heartbroken, he now is about to walk the isle, with i think is the best girl for him..to live happily ever after!

way to go brotha!!

everything else in between

had a rough week..feeling down, and then up..rollercoaster ride life for me..

Updates. I am still very enthralled by the tv series Lost, i'm catching up with charmed, 6 feet under and the X factor return-at least the latter makes me laugh once in a while..it's very annoying at times these people think they've got talents, yeah they can sing!-in their own bathroom!!

Surfing. not the waves but the net, and i really like alyssa milano's website and design, really cool, and she's a philantropist huh! nice one girl. check it out sometime. www.alyssa.com

Rain. and more rain for London in the coming weeks, hay!!! i think London should be renamed greenland or iceland for it's cold and dreary weather.( i think even iceland or the latter has some sunshine!)

Music.listened to a couple of cd's last night with a glass of red wine in my hand.. I love Maroon 5-i'd listen to it over & over & over...i think all the songs deserves an award, very nicely done, really cool too....and coldplay's the x&y album, nice!
nina live! the best, makes you wanna tuck under your duvets all night!

Friendster! seen a couple of my old classmates from college today, gosh! really nice seeing them..and people from my past too..old friends, was a friend now not..acquaintances..

sleep. i need this now..so ciao for now :)

which is which??

i need suggestions. which is nicer. this or this. i know enzo's still too young to play this, but i just want to save now to buy him these later :) for now he'll just have to settle for this..and this too.

tough times

I am currently experiencing a very tough time..there has been certain issues in my life right now that needs sorting out..sometimes when i start to think of all these i just start to cry..life has been hard lately, and my prayers seem to be going nowhere, i guess God has taken a vacation..I have been praying hard for a wish i really wanted for my family for a long while now, but no answers yet..i asked for a sign, but nothing came..do you think it's right to ask for a sign? do i have the right to question Gods work on my life?? according to the book "The purpose driven life" never question God's plan for all will be revealed in due time, and he knows what's best for us..that God's purpose is greater than our sins, our pains..our problems, that when God says no to your cry for relief, believe that God is doing what's best for us..i might just be a man with little faith..for sometimes, i doubt, and i fear and question him..but i'm allowed to do that right? after all i am only human at the end of the day..because right now, i am feeling angry, forsaken, i might just be too impatient for those answers to come, i now doubt..or should i be?? God seems very distant..according to the book, it is at this time that God will test if you will still worship him when all you've got is hardship..and i do, yes worship him..or do i really?..my mind is clouding, i cannot think right..
