My friends commented that people at work are slowly getting slimmer. Its either they are in love, they are sick, they are desperate to get a boyfriend or they are on a diet. It’s like the latest fad at work. Even guys are planning to go on jogging, badminton, gym and like to get those unwanted fats out. It’s a good fad though. It encourages me to do the same. In that case, I don’t need to get that best weight loss pills. Or should I still?

This year, specifically this month is the favorite time of my life so far. Though there were trials that came, but this family has been whole and united, standing strong and holding each others hands along the way. Family members living far came home. Even those family member who just lived near each other, never bonded like this before. I wanted to have a cardboard display that would say that this best family ever. I could not ask for more.

I suddenly became a match maker when one of my close friends asked me if I have a single friend that is open to dating. I know of a few so I gave him their numbers. I kid around and told him “Go and get to know them. But don’t marry them tomorrow.” There are some people who take life seriously and think that if a guy asks you for a date, you’re going to marry him the next day. You can actually try to meet black people and date them. Get to enjoy yourselves in the getting to know them better. Once you’re ready, you can move on to the next stage. Eventually you will get there. Just hang on singles and don’t rush. It’s not a matter of who will be the first to get married but a matter of who will end up happily married.

At wok, I used to handle 18 people under me. Now that we are short staff, I only have 11 subordinates. Though they are fewer than what I used to handle, still checking up on each and every one of them still takes time. They are all having different desktops and most of the time they sit away from each other. So when I need to check and monitor them, I sometimes do remote. Good thing our company has a good remote desktop software. It really makes work a little easier. I can see what my agents are doing while on the phone. What tools they used or sometimes if they are accessing some unrelated sites. Without this, I could not imagine myself running from one station to the other. It would kill a lot of my time. Time management is important for me. Though there are a lot of deliverables at work, I can still finish them on time. Though most of the time, I beat deadlines. I have an organizer and I follow strictly my schedule. I coach, mentor, monitor, audit, listen to calls, root cause analysis, action planning, create initiatives for the team, check or scrub my peoples time punches, serve memos, attend admin hearing, operations meeting with management, calibration sessions, motivates people, performance review, take escalated calls and a lot, lot more…

I know I am not a police. But when I checked Smith and Wesson footwear, I could not help myself but admire it. I heard that Smith & Wesson has been the preferred firearm for law enforcement and they are committed to becoming the preferred Boot for police. I always enjoyed watching tactical when my husband used to be a volunteer. I like how snappy the moves are and most of all I like watching their boots as they march together and in unison. I don’t dream of becoming a military or a police officer but I just enjoy watching them especially their snappy moves. It’s so Cool! I don’t mind watching it everyday.

This coming July, my husband and I will be celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary. Though it’s still early, I am already thinking of a gift that I would give my husband on that day. I need to plan ahead because I need to save for it as well. I am thinking of buying him a Casio G Shock watch. He wanted to buy himself one for quite sometime already. He always stops by the watch section every time we go to the mall. I know that he is dying to own one already. He would really be surprise if I get him one this coming July as my wedding anniversary gift for him.

I am not a domestic person. I hate to admit it, but I could not be left alone at home. I do not know how to cook, I am not a clean maniac and I it may be shameful to admitl, but I am a couch potato at times. If I don’t write, I watch movies and or sleep. See, I told you. I could not be left home alone. I could not even cook my own food for goodness sake. Okay, let’s stop pushing me down to the floor and spare me the humiliation. There are things that I am also good at. See, I’m not totally useless. I am proud to say that I am technical. If your PC gets busted, you can call me and I can fix it for you. If you got a broken furniture, I can get it back together. Yes, I do minor electric repairs, (just those easy connect the wire thing…), pc troubleshooting (mostly software problems…) and some minor hammering and sawing. I though I was born a man…So if you want to give me something for Christmas, give me a circular saw blades instead of a brand new cooking pot set. Now that’s what I call diversity baby…

Hanging out with men is quite fun. Just got from Team Building and most of those who came were men than women. Being with them, you’d feel secure especially you know you can always count on them to carry heavy stuff and all. The men I went out with last weekend would not need muscle builder supplements coz they already would grow enough from being the ladies carrier all throughout the event. Thanks guys!

I have always wanted to travel. But until then, it’s still going to be a wish for now. I don’t have to check a travel directory to know where I want to be. If given a chance, it has been my dream to always got to Vatican City and relive the memories of my belief there. Next stop would be Disneyland of course. I’m going to bring my kids there and be like a child again for a day. Next would be in Paris where it’s just going to be me and my husband only. And there we will rekindle our love. There are just too many paces where I want to be. But the most beautiful place where I always want to be is Home. Home is really where my heart is. Wherever I hear my kid’s laughter ringing, their smiles and dreams, I can live forever there. Wherever I will be greeted with a sweet kiss from my husband when I get home from work and wake up every morning seeing the face of a man I wanted to be with, I can live forever there. So, why go far when I am always where I always want to be.

One way or the other, we always encounter storms in our life. Those people whom we least expect to be our friends suddenly become our shock absorber. I can never thank God enough for friends who stood by me when I was down. Those who don’t even bother to question my insanity but was just simply there and listened. For the first time in 3 days since the storm struck, today was my first time to cry. I cried and let all those unwanted feeling out from my system. My eyes right now is swelling a little bit. I am planning to wear an eye glasses to work later. Wish I had one that would hide these swollen eyes. One that would make me look happy in spite of what I am going through. Wish I can crawl under the table and snuggle myself there until this storm goes away. But I am little bit OK now though. Now that I have cried, I know I can move on. Once again, thanks to my friends who never left me, even to friends who did not know I am in a storm, but managed to make me laugh, you never know how much you made me feel better. Thank you!
