Daddy, it has been 2 years already... but of course there are still times that we think about you... wishing that you are still here with us. Actually there was a time that I was thinking about you and I cannot help but shed a tear. Then, Giulia saw me. She looked at me so intently... it seems that she wants to ask me what is wrong and why am I crying. Of course I had to wipe my tear and smile at our princess. I just hugged her and I felt okay. I have told you this already, Giulia is a mini-you. Not only that people often tell us that she looks like you but also, she has mannerisms similar to yours. It is also funny because she also likes eating fish and even your favorite biscuit - Marie. Daddy, we miss you so much. I cannot wait for Giulia to grow older so that I can tell her stories about you. I will also show her your pictures. Who knows? But she might say that you look familiar because perhaps you visited her already at one point in time. Hehehe :) Though we miss you and sometime...

I want to have a job that will keep me busy for 8 hours. This means that I can be busy as hell for the whole 8 hours in the office but still I will be able to go home at exactly 5PM. I want to work in a place I can call my second home. A place that you will be comfortable to show your real self. I want to work with people I can treat as friends or like family. I want to work for a company that understands and respect family time. I want to work with people who willshow care and concern that only for me but also for my whole family. I want to work for a company that allowsworking from home as long as you can deliver and complete your required tasks. I want to work for a company that is stable and that I will not worry for my future. I want to work for a company that candefine a clear career plan for me. I want to be able to know that if I strive hard, I can reach the top. I want to work for a company that will offer an attractive compensation package. Okay, I thi...

This blog serves as my online diary...unfortunately, I just cannot update it on a daily basis since I am not allowed to access personal blogs in my new office. But believe me, I already have a lot of stories to share. I just have to find some time to post those stories when I am at home... I just hope that my readers... if there are any... will also find time to visit my blog, once in a while... For those who happen to just drop by, thanks for visiting my blog... :)

This is what the left side of my cubicle looks on a typical day. Right side just includes laptop and some files. This is what my normal day looks like in the office: 745 - 800 My typical arrival at work, log in the attendance sheet, greets                            receptionist good morning 801 - 805 I go to my cubicle, smile and greet everyone. I put my things down,                t urn on my laptop and drink vitamins. 805 - 810 Go to the CR, look at myself in the mirror, fix hair, put powder 810 - 812 Go to the pantry to put my ice packs in the freezer 812 - 1000 Read emails, work, work and work. 1000 - 1005 CR break 1005 - 1200 Work, work and work 1200 - 1220 Eat lunch at the pantry 1220 - 1320 Pump milk ...

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 ...
