Come join us in our nesting place.

And I’ve just read that the young founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is being stalked. What irony.

Here’s the link of that newsbit: http://www.pcworld.com/article/219057/inside_the_mind_of_mark_zuckerbergs_alleged_stalker.html

Moreover, Mark has filed for a TRO and has obtained it, news from TMZ says.

One year. We’re giving my son one more  year of Philippine education before letting him move (out of the country). I hope he’ll be ready then. Actually, it’s not that he’s not ready now, it’s just that I  want to make sure he’ll be more than prepared to make the move. And I just want to make sure that when he does move, he can hack it “there.” Although he always tells me he loves to live down under, I’m sure he’ll be missing home. He’ll surely be missing his friends here. Who knows what else he’d be missing in his young mind. (Oh he mentioned he’s concerned that we have to leave his new car behind. As in he asked, ” What about our new car?” Lol). But seriously, I know preparing him for the move will be good for him, and I’m just praying for things to work out in one year. I don’t know really know how schools operate down under (as much as I do with schools here), or what type of school he’ll be enroled in,  but I hope it’s great like the www.queenethelburgas.edu.

Also, if things work out well in the coming months (and until this school year ends), we might not transfer him in a boys school next school year  (although we’ve contemplated on this). But we’ll see. It might equally be good for him to just stay in his old school.

It’s been awhile. :-)

Been juggling work offline, work online and life offline. Babysitting in between. Tough act. I hope next month, a sitter or helper falls off from heavens. I hope, I pray.

For the meantime, let’s get used to my erratic online presence. *smiles*

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,everyone!!

And the docs from the engineering recruitment agency came in the office. Very important papers, which spell of a bright future  in a land where the pasture is said to be greener,  to be signed and submitted.

But it’s not for me, but for an officemate and friend. It would seem that someone’s moving out of the office in less than one month. Career move.

Oh people are moving on and saying goodbye.  Sad but it’s the reality in the workplace.  A familiar face goes,  a new face gets in. It’s a cycle, I reminded myself as I think of a time when I heard about the career concept of growing, glowing and going. It’s no use to be so melodramatic about it.

Soon I might be going. Soon I might join in the foray.  I wonder when though.   I have plans and that’s why I’ve  written a few of engineering recruitment agents who may be able to help. But I’m still waiting for the right time. For God’s perfect time.

I have gone through an epiphany today.

And it’s brought about by a song I heard while attending to my baby’s need.

The Greatest Love of All.

Heard it? I remembered by cousin teaching me this song. I used to sing this a lot when I was 6-8 years old.

“I believe the children are our future.

Teach them well and let them lead the way.

Show them all the beauty they posses inside.

Give them a strength of pride,

To make it easier, let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.”

Ain’t the message poignant? It made me cry inside. Really.

The year is about to wrap up. Oh what good have I done in 2010? A lot, I hope. *smiles* Really. Because I always try to do my best in everything. But then if my best isn’t enough, then there’s always tomorrow for me to work on that.

I’m excited with what 2011 will bring for me and my family. I’m praying for great things. Actually, we have lots of plans in the coming year. Big plans, small plans. Short term, long term. A lot. Like the other day, I told my sister, the one who works in an IT firm and plans to transfer in a bigger firm like First 4 IT perhaps, we have so many plans that it’s better to lay them one by one and “talk them over bottles of vodka.” *grins sheepishly*

Now as mush as I am thrilled with what’s going to happen in 2011, I’m anxious, too. Because some of our plans involve our careers. For instance, my sister wants to make a career move i.e IT support London or somewhere where the pasture is lush and green.  Like her, I also plan to do that.  And this means, giving up our work, going jobless for maybe few months to pursue what we want. Going jobless makes me anxious. I’m sure my sister is, too. But Life involves taking risks sometimes. So I just have to cross my fingers, hope and pray for the best for all of us.

But yeah, we’ll have that vodka first. :-)
