On Standing Up for Yourself

Standing up for yourself when someone tries to put you down is always the right thing to do. You can’t not look after yourself. Before someone attempts to protect you, it’s you who has to fight for your dignity or reputation. Now that I’m married, my instincts to protect and fight back have doubled.

Funny but I sometimes I wish I’m as tough as a Delafield hydraulic hose so I could face anything or anyone. (Please pardon the thoughtless analogy, but, you get the point.) But no, I have my limitations and I have loved ones to protect. I have also learned to choose my battles wisely.

Busy as a Bee

December is a busy month at work. Our event line-up is really long and we have to make do with limited time and resources to finish our tasks. I just got back from a long vacation so I don’t feel the busyness that much. And I think that’s a good thing.

But still, I know I have to produce my share of the output. That’s why I’m working doubly hard to contribute to the office’s accomplishments. This busyness at work shall pass. We just have to work (and give our best) one day at a time.

My New PC has Arrived!

It’s not everyday that we get to own or use a new PC. In my case, mine finally arrived in the office last week. This development made my day that time. It was like I won the lottery. Haha.

My new PC came complete with the latest operating system (Windows 8!) and a really vast memory. One try and I found out the PC performance was quite impressive. Fast and clear, what more can I possibly ask for?

When Sickness Attacks

Bad weather and stressed-out body are a sure formula for sickness. The hubby caught a flu last week and hasn’t fully recovered yet until today. I dunno with you but I get paranoid big time whenever someone dear to me gets sick. I want the pain to end as early as possible. If only sickness goes away as fast as a speeding bullet, no one would be seen worrying about a sick loved one anymore.

That’s why I keep reiterating the importance of good health in our household. In these modern times when healthcare costs a fortune, we cannot afford to get sick. Especially when it is the Christmas season where people should be merry and not sulking in the corner or confined in a room (the hospital for that matter) because of sickness.

Home Design Ideas

You can tag me as a lazy girl (I actually am most of the time) but if there’s one thing I’d get asked to do which I won’t get tired of doing, it’s decorating a house. This is especially true if it’s my house we’re talking about. If I had money to spare, I want to fill my house with beautiful and fine things. I believe a house becomes a home not only because of the people that consider themselves as family living in it but also when it is lovely and lively.

Beautiful and fine things aren’t always expensive. Sometimes you just have to be creative with your home design ideas to make things look more appealing than they already are. The addition of fresh flowers in a room or the installation of some waverly curtains to the windows, for instance, are great home design ideas. They don’t cost an arm and a leg yet they help achieve a cozy feel and an elegant vibe to a house.

Village Christmas Party

Last night was fun. We attended our first Christmas party together as a married couple. It was the Christmas party of the subdivision we live in. It started at 7:00 p.m. and ended a few hours after. The hubby is one of the officers of the new homeowners association so we got VIP seats.

There was a program, a raffle draw, some parlor games, some dance and song numbers (to entertain the crowd) and a lot more. Food was catered (there was lechon!) and some officers even brought homemade dishes for everyone to share. The hubby was requested to bring some alcoholic drinks and thanks to our S&R membership, we were able to buy some cheap but quality wines. The party ended with people dancing to the tunes of 90’s music. We headed home after the “exchange gift” part because the hubby was already sleepy and I was starting to feel tipsy from the red wine I drank.
