My dad has a unique name. He was literally born a hero. He was born in the middle of the World War 2... so I guess his mom realized that being born amidst all chaos should be immediately called a hero... His name is Bayani, Banny for short. When he was still alive, I have never encountered or met another Bayani nor Banny aside from my dad. Well of course, not counting the local comedian Bayani Agbayani. Anyway, now that my dad is not here anymore, I think he find ways to make us still feel his presence. Sometimes, in super odd places and instances, my dad makes us feel he is still here with us. For example, when my sister and brother in law shipped their things from Singapore, they were shock to know that one of the "cargo men" was named Banny. Another instance is during our birthclass, one of our classmates has a surname of Bayani. A nother, the foreman of our sister and brother in law, when they were still constructing their house has a nickname of "daddy"...

Giulia is now 8 months old. Her hobby now includes singing and crawling backwards.   Anyway, if you can remember my post on my issue about breastfeeding . When Giulia is still 3 1/2 months old, I was struggling because my milk supply was already low.   If you ask me now if I am still breastfeeding, my answer is still yes. My milk supply? Still low. Actually sometimes, I can barely get 1 oz from both breasts already when I pump. So yes, I am definitely struggling.   But I believe breastfeeding is a decision.Though we are already mixed feeding, I am still breastfeeding Giulia. Of course, there are times that I want to stop already. But when I think of Giulia and her expression when I am about to breastfeed... her super eager and excited face... it gives me a boost to continue with what I am doing. Giulia seems to be relaxed, calm and content whenever I breastfeed her. So as much as possible, I do not want to take that feeling away from her.   Pumpi...

Some of the items below are alreadyincluded in the 25 things about me. I just want to introduce myself againand share things about me. 1)        I'm shy. Yes, you read it right. I am shy and timid when I am in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. Other people think that I am a snob because I will not initiate a conversation. But that is just because I am shy. But when you get to know me, you will know that I am SUPER talkative. Ican talk non-stop. 2)         I do not have sense of direction. I think that GPS navigator is a very good invention. I just hope we can use it even inside establishments or offices. hehehe :) 3)        I do not know or better yet, I am afraid to ride mass transportation in the Philippines. Of course this is also related to my item 2. 4)        I hate waiting and doing nothing. This is ...

What I miss about my old company 1) Of course, I miss the people. Myold company is like my second family. I do not need to wear a mask or pretend to be someone when I am there. I am so comfortable with the people. I love them and miss working with them. 2) I miss going home at 3:45 every Friday.Yes, we work at 7 - 5 PM from Mondays to Thursdays but we get the reward every Friday because we only work up to 3:45. 3) I miss the business travels. Thanks to my old company, I was able to go to the US thrice. I also go to Malaysia at least twice a year. 4) I miss the convenience of working at home. Note that this is not a standard practice. But if I have early morning telecon or if there is an emergency, I was allowed to work at home, provided that I accomplish all my to-do tasks for the day and that I will be able to reply to all emails as soon as possible. What I like about my new company Yes, I have been with my company for almost four months now and these are t...
