a life lived for eternal purposes

 

it feels good to back in the classroom. i didn't really plan to do university teaching this sem because i thought it would be a bit toxic for me especially i want to focus my attention to NAV at least in his first year. but in a simple series of events, i'm back to where the fun is - classroom with college students. my passion in knowledege impartation was just revived. i just don't like the thought of still working at home - i have a cute baby to attend to.

i am taking it slow...i have realized a lot of things. there is no short cut way in reaching your dreams...you really have to persevere.

i am just throwing out ideas here...you may not be getting the big picture, otherwise this is going to be a looooooonnnnnnngggggggg blog. i don't want that.

As i was saying...

* i am learning a lot now that we are independent. it's not easy but every lesson and experience is a treasure. i now try to budget. i used the word "try" because it is something that i am just picking up to learn. i didn't know that i was not budgeting before - in the real sense of the word that is. now, i am trying bit by bit. hopefully, i can master this - i wonder when?

* cooking is something i really like to enjoy. analyze the sentence. don't u get the impression that cooking is not me? i thought it was...but not really i am a struggling chef. i just don't find it exciting. i don't know why...my mother loves to cook, she's actually good at it. my mother-in-law is a superb in this...why am i like this? okay...learning ang loving how to cook will be part of my agenda...at least in my lifetime.

* one luxury that Filipinos have is the capacity to have a house helper. it's comfortable to have one especially if you have experienced to have none - i did for 6 months! and i tell you it's hard - because i have a new born, i'm working part-time and i am adjusting. i am stil open to the idea of not having one when the kids have grown, esp when it's expensive to have one in the future - not here in my homeland.

whatelse is new?

oh, my weight...from 192 lbs- my full term pregnancy weight...i am now at learst 15 lbs shy away from my pre-pregnancy weight. shedding 1 lb. is something how much more 15! i should start  soon...like tomorrow or may the day after tomorrow (great film!!!) or maybe next time...i don't know.

ohhhh....writer's block....

i can't believe it! it's been 7 months or 8(?) since my last blog! motherhood really entails a lot of changes. one should have an extraordinary deal of readiness to enjoy it. part of this readiness is being prepared to give of yourself no matter what. as a mother, i don't find this  very difficult. i can't imagine that i am capable of loving a human being like i am loving NAV. (whew! i can  hold him now, play with and smile at him...). i now understand why some wives say that they love their children more than their husbands. truth is, yes a mother has that tendency BUT should not be. first and foremost, my role is a wife then a mother. oh well...things like this should be discussed somewhere else...

so...what's up with me??? just read on

* nav is a big boy now, at  least compared to when he was born. he's turning 8 mos!

* we are finally on our own (me, my husband and nav). we, in fact, moved twice already. 1st was too small, we stayed there for only 3 mos. our apartment this time is way better. initially, it was scary, i thought of the many conveniences that we may miss but i as i get the hang of it, i am actually enjoying the independence.

*what can independence do to a person? a lot actually. i salute those who live on their own (esp. the singles!) it's not easy. it's just now i always notice that laundry hampers get filled everyday (duh!)...i am not kidding!!! after doing the laundry, i will always feel that sense of achievement...but a few days after, it would be filled again with dirty clothes!!! (really duh!!!)

...wait...nav is crying...brb
