Need: new job ASAP
Still haven't got paycheck. Not doing anything fulfilling at work. No sense of passion for job. Need I say more?
Although I already have prospects for my next possible employment, there's still the bulging issue - my pregnancy. Who would hire a pregnant woman? Of course, am hoping they would. Praying really hard.
So please say a little prayer for me too.
Quarter-life
Yup! 25 it is.
I spent my birthday with this feeling of - I can't place it properly - sublimity. I guess it had something to do with preparing for motherhood, while still trying to be career-oriented...at 25. I know I shouldn't burden myself with these issues now...so am trying...
Anyway, I spent a quiet day at home with Neil (had him file a 'birthday-of-wife' leave from the office, hehehe). Then we had dinner with very close friends - only a few of them. I guess I didn't feel like celebrating with a blast this year - mostly because I get tired too easily and might not enjoy a rowdy night.
Birthday wish? A normal and healthy baby. Yup, as one friend put it - Olats ka na. Sa baby mo na lahat. Hehehe.
Oh, and before I end this post - many thanks to the people who did not forget. =)
Late post-holiday post (whatever)
As soon as 2003 ended I started to think what to write in my blog. I had a million thoughts in my head - but I had to fall ill. Damnit. I was sick after Christmas and right through New Year's Eve and a few days after that. Disabled. Couldn't even sit up long enough to type.
Thanks to April she had this list of questions on her blog...and I thought, why not? Makes things easier for me, too. ;p

A child? Hehehe. Am having my first this year.
