Black Saturday

Today is a what we call Black Saturday. I miss the church service in Pinas this time, I haven't observed the leten season at all. I am as guilty as ever. But in my heart only God knows what is in here. I forgive erveryone that made me sad hehehe as it's the time of forgiveness.

It has been sleeting today, ane we enjoyed it a lot. We've been out in the garden playing with my baby Alanna and babe. It's been good! She loves it so much that she doesn't wanna get in our studio. And then, when inside the studio, she kept looking outside waiting for the snow to come back... :-)

Interview

Though I need to look for a new nursery for my daughter, I am also looking for a new job. Yesterday, I went for an interview for an Accountant position. I was so silly, I arrived an hour early to the company I was having interview with. But I managed to cracked a joke and they're a bit impressed. Anyway, they started me early as well, and the first person that interview me was a Filipino hahaha He looks so scrappy and I'm not impressed, but he's the Senior Financial Analyst on this company. The main office is in the US and he's going to stay here in UK until they established this position and then he said he'll move to India to set-up their branch there. I was impressed by his ability though, Pinoy talaga ang galing hahahaha His accent is of course American.

It wasn't for me though, but they said that I've done my interview very well. I've conducted myself in professional way and they can see myself working in their company. That was a great compliment for me as that was my first interview I went to this year. You know, if you have a baby, it feels like I've lost my confidence. But that was great comment actually, and they said that they will contact me if they have vacancy in the future. Who knows!

Under pressure

Oh well, it's not a very nice month for me. We're both under pressure in looking for a new nursery somehow, to put my baby in during the day. The one we've got which is very convenient to me is going to close down by the end of this month huhuhu I will surely miss everyone there and my baby has to adjust again to a new environment.

I was out looking for a better nursery but I was so stunned at the price. For a month it will cost £890 and that includes everything, from mappies to food. They've got best facility and care, of course for that amount of money, you should expect the best for your baby. But it's impossible for us to afford it, I might consider quitting my job and look after my baby instead of having to pay that much anyway. I don't know what to do really, but I've had bookings to check other nursery in my husband's place of work. Hopefully, that should work ok...

Happy Valentine's Day

Hmmm what could it be for tonight! Not much... as usual day, and nothing special. My dear baby is vomitting tonight, I'm a bit worried that she catch another virus from the nursery. I am very hesitant now and considering options to switch and look for a childminder. It's difficult, all I can say.

But anyway, before the day is done, I thought that my husband forget about today. I started getting funny and making a fuss but no joy as I said my baby was vomitting. So I stop and think, my baby is more important than a special Valentine's surprise. Anyhow, he had a surprise for me that made me teary. He's bought me flower and a card that says it all! Wonderful! Afterall, he did some effort. Happy Valentines to all...

Politics

I've been wanting to write about Office Politics but had no time at all to get it done. But let me ask you a question: How would you handle office politics?

It's the thing that been going around in my workplace at the moment. When I return from my 9-months long maternity leave, things have changed in my team. We've got new supervisor, new team members and a funtastic team now compared to what it was before. But the thing is, everyone is seem to be very nice and helpful and its too good to be true. Then I heard from someone that I should be careful because I didn't know how much politics is going on around me. I really didn't think about it too much to give negative feelings towards my new team mates, to be fair. But sometimes I can see where it come from. When they have extra time, they just talk about other people behind their back. I can see how office politics are playing around. Everyone is seemed to be extra nice to gain good credit from the management so they will be praised with the expense of the other.

I don't know... I'm just tired of working. I just want to move on really. I am hoping to get a new job soonest. I am happy where I am but sometime life gets too boring when there is no challenge at all. My work ethic is: Challenge is the best way to learn.

Jealousy

It's not me that's jealous hehehehe it's this one person, which I'm not going to tell you. I am furious, she can't accept the reality that there are other people that's better than her. I would be delighted and happy if all my friends are doing well in life. I am not jealous of what other's got at all. I am happily content whatever I've got. I am not trying to be rich in anyway, so I am a proud friend if I have a rich friend, who wouldn't? Oh Gosh! I'm fed up of her, always moaning about life and everything, and now she's jealous of my other friend. Unbelievable!

I ended up phoning Pinas to take this out from my system HuH! Anyway, we had a good day... though not feeling perfect but we're getting there over from our colds.

Bug

What a day today! it started with Alanna having cough and cold for weeks now and last night, she had high temperature. I took a day-off work and took her to the clinic, which they call it here "surgery". And the nurse said that she have an infections on her chest as she was coughing hard. I feel ruff as well as of now. I'd like to take "sicky" from work but no, I'd reather not as my work to do is piling-up now (I bet).

And as we just walked to the surgery today, we passed by few shops. But you know how it's like when your little one is not feeling better, she just kept crying in her pushchair. So I decided to just have buy couple of things... I bought myself a designer belt from Oscar dela Renta and a book for her. I nearly lost my leather gloves which Marcus bought me for Christmas. I quickly went back from where we went to in the shop and luckily it's there on the floor. He wouldn't be happy if it's lost.
