>Happy New Year!!

Let us welcome 2009 with a bang!! We are working the day after Christmas and until today we are still working. We don’t have an actual vacation but we can go out anytime we want to but since we are just at home we can’t stop it. The work load is so light and I thank my clients for not giving me too much work so we can at least relax and enjoy this holiday.

My mom and siblings are now back in Laguna because it is our tradition to stay in our own home every new year. My youngest sister is staying with us until new year and it is fun because I will be spending more time with her.

New Year’s Resolution? well.. i don’t know yet… I don’t know if i have to post it here or I won’t be making any resolution this time.

Well… lately I wanted to see a friend but I don’t know where to find that friend anymore. I keep on searching online and even checked friendster but I failed. I don’t know but I really miss that person and I hope that I will get a chance to talk to that friend again. I think I will start my year searching for that person.

Anyway, it’s a busy week because we will be having our New Year Reunion with my relatives here in Manila. So I will be preparing for food and gifts and we are really looking forward for it. It’s been two years since we last saw each other and I am excited for our family updates.

>My mother asked me to call her. When I did she was so worried about me. She asked if I am okay.. if I feel better. My sister last night asked the same thing too… I don’t know why they keep on asking it to me.

Just lately…. I feel stranged. I don’t know how to explain it but I just hope it’s just nothing…

The truth is I’m okay… but I feel something different. I don’t know but I’m sad but I don’t know the reason. I just feel it.

Pray for me… I need it.

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is now open in Mega Mall. I’ve been waiting for it because I love the pasta and blended coffee. Though some of the products are not yet available in this outlet because they are still fixing it.

Since it’s end of the year, last night we clean our closets. We throw our old papers and receipts. It is always my routine to throw anything useless before the New Year. So I checked my father death certificate and I start missing him again.

It’s 5 days before Christmas and my family in Los Banos is coming. I am excited spending Christmas together.

All the gifts are ready as well as our holiday meal… Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

It’s so cold today and all I want is to sleep but I can’t do it because I need to work. I need to keep on thinking the coming holidays so that I can focus on my work. I need to save for the coming holidays and for our trip early next year. I started working as soon as I opened my eyes while my son is playing around me. To keep me awake and focus, I am watching TV and my current favorite is the Lifestyle network. Since I am not really a good cook I love the show and I am now learning. I wanted to buy new kitchen equipments so that I can start baking. I decided to try a new recipe and share it to my husband and he made it and it was perfect. Gareth loves it too. It was great and a comforting meal.

It’s now 12a.m. but through the help of coffee I am still working for my last task for today. We are planning to go home tomorrow in Laguna but I don’t know if we can make it because of the weather. Well… lets see!

>Yesterday I decided to go out to watch Twilight. I love it and looking forward for more…

I bought Gareth a gift and I immediately wrap it to surprise him.

We had lunch at Banana Leaf

Seafoods with gata.

Chicken Curry

Buko Pandan Dessert

I watched news last night and crisis are everywhere. Recession happens not just in third world country but also in U.S. My clients from U.S are now experiencing financial difficulties and so I don’t have task right now. Eventhough my client from U.S didn’t give me new task my clients from Europe are still giving me task and it really help me a lot. As a freelancer I also feel the crisis so I decided to continue looking for new client.

While the economy is down we really can’t do about it but we should need to find ways to survive. This is the right time to develop our skills so that we can work in any different areas. If before I only consider research and data entry job this time I am learning SEO and writing article as well.

Early next year I will be launching a new business and I hope that you will support it.

>Its raining the whole day and without noticing it I sleep for almost 10 hours, too bad… it is cold and I am so lazy to wake up.

Gareth is lying beside me and he was also sleeping the whole afternoon. Since it seems a lazy day for me I start exercising and took a shower and now I am ready to work. Work until the sun rises tomorrow.

I pray and hope that the weather this coming Saturday is good for my weekend plan.

>I don’t usually talk about politics here in my blog but eversince I am a follower about politics issues. When my father was still alive we always discuss about politics and we sometimes got a debate about politicians and I adore my father for not controlling my beliefs instead he supported me. If he is only here today maybe we are discussing the U.S politics. I am so amazed the whole elections process because in just 24 hours they can announce the result unlike here in the Philippines that it took us weeks. For some reason I need to follow the U.S politics because I have clients from U.S and because of financial crisis some of my clients are asking me to lower my rate so that they can still afford me and that is really frustrating because we are all affected because of this crisis.

I hope that this time the economy will be getting better and I hope that on next Philippine elections it will be fast and accurate.

I wish!
