friday the 13th

Anyone ever noticed the date today? It's Friday the 13th. And yeah, I am part of the population who grew up with my folks telling me it's synonymous to bad luck.

Sshhh... In my grade school days, I honestly believed them. I used to fear this dreadful day! But now as I look back, I find those days really cute and funny. Now that I am older (and wiser, I hope) instead of fearing this day, I even look forward to it. Why? Because it's a Friday. It's a TGIF!!!

Happy weekend everyone! And to our dear dads, grand dads, dads-in-law, future dads... HAPPY DAD's DAY!

Yeah, I know. It's the last day of the work week and coffee break is up just now. Don't blame me. I don't blame anyone too. It's just that, there were a lot of other things I had to attend to first. Enough said now. Let's start the chitchat!

In My Father's Arms by Tazzer27

It's the time of the year when we show appreciation and love for the first man in our lives --- our dear fathers. We may have been through a lot of arguments with them, whether it's about our need for independence or our struggle with a college course. No matter how we look at it, our fathers will always play a major role in our lives. As we celebrate their day this Sunday, we ask you to share your ideas on this:

What are your top 3 gift suggestions this Father's Day?

the countdown begins

Three working days left before our First Day of School. Don't sweat the small stuff. I'm talking to myself, of course. Minor details still need polishing, that's why. And Me-The Worrier is getting all jiggy and messed up. Don't!!!

"At some point, young wives like us, need to realize that there is a world outside our family life." --- Mai, my new buddy, processing me on my separation anxiety.

So this is how it feels like.

Cry In A Pillow by FrenchRock

Last night, tears just fell from my eyes as my husband and I spoke of our looming first overnight apart. This Friday and Saturday is our company outing at the Mimosa Clarkfield in Pampanga. Initially, I planned on joining them just for the day because my husband and I, we didn't want us separated even for just a night. I have made arrangements already that I shall go home after dinner on Friday. Even if I have to take a bus going back to Manila, I didn't mind! However, there has been some miscommunication-slash-misunderstanding and it's a MUST for me to be in Mimosa the whole duration of the outing. I really felt heavyhearted. After an hour of contemplating and processing by my new buddy Mai and another hour with my hubby Gino encouraging and assuring me it's ok, I was convinced. Well, half-convinced.

It's just for a night, I know. But hey, don't blame me. Separation anxiety. And it's killing me.

coffee break ver. 1.21

Because it's the time of the year when students go back to school, our topic for this week is still related to schooling. To make it a fun "going-back-in-time" theme, we shall talk about our days back in Grade School.

School by Lazy Muffin

Grade School is one of the most exciting time in our lives. It is monumental as it is a time of firsts. First day in school. First teacher. First seatmate. First homework. First quiz. And a whole lot of other firsts. Most of us come out of our shells during this time too. This week's coffee break, I invite you to share with us

How were you like as a grade school student?

Blogging! At last! As I said in my previous post, I promise to be more diligent this time. And as a sign that I'm really back, here is a scrap of my June calendar. This is currently my desktop wallpaper.
