LBC delivered this morning the copy of the Decision Atty. R sent to me yesterday. I read all the pages while Randy was listening.

More than three years of my life had been wasted hoping to get the freedom from the marriage that supposed to protect me and my kids but, unfortunately, I raised my kids all by myself for the past 25 years. The last time I saw the biological father of the kids was during the Snap Election in February 1986!

I reviewed the 1987 Family Code of the Philippines. We're victims of consequences due to weak implementation of laws to protect the interest of women and children. Why apply the law on my situation now but, failed to apply the same law when my children and I need financial support? In fact, most of our men ran away with their responsibilities, remarried, and abandoned wife and children giving nothing.

Yesterday afternoon, I called EF at 3:20 PM. I found out from him that the biological father of the kids have two children to a woman he's currently living with. Whether he married her or not is not my concern anymore. I just wanted to get out from our marriage which existed in papers only.

What am I going to do? I feel so lost.

If we file for Motion for Reconsideration, the Judge will still ask for the log book that doesn't exist anymore. The Civil Registrar who issued the certification under my name died in October 2006, long before he could testify.

If we file for a new case, Nullity of Marriage due to Psychological Incapacity, I will go through the same process again. But, hey, I am 49 years old. What future is waiting for me if I will push through with it? Legal proceedings in the country took many years to be resolved thus wasted precious life, opportunities, and money of many people involved.

May God give me the wisdom and the time... at least, enough to fulfill unfinished business and promises...

We're getting ready for grocery shopping this afternoon when a heavy downpour of rain upset the kids and decided not to go. Nervous, I went to bed to get some nap but, they're too noisy playing PS II games so I went downstairs to a nearby Beauty Parlor, I trim my bangs and treated myself a foot spa with pedicure.

Today is International Women's Day. To all women out there, have yourself a wonderful day. It's our day and make the most out of it.

It's a pleasure to update you all with what I achieved from my 2005 New Year's resolution. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that falling in love is my greatest achievement last year!

The rest of what I didn't achieve last year is still in effect for this year. My 2006 New Year's Resolution are:

1. Be more faithful to God and attend Sunday mass regularly.
2. Exchange of vows with my soulmate after annulment of my previous marriage.
3. Provide my kids a complete family and support whatever deams they want to be.
4. Make my loved ones happy. Be busy in the real world away from online games.
5. Spend time and money wisely. Save money. Invest. Buy property.
6. Stay away from Fast Foods. Lose weight, get back my 27" waistline, and keep it for good.
7. Be wiser. Prettier. Happier.

My potential soulmate doesn't like me to work abroad so I will be here waiting for him to be with him again soon...

Make your own 2006 New Year's Resolution, too, and tag 2006resolutions.

I received my new passport today which was issued on the 5th of this month. In God's willing, may the said passport opens many doors of opportunities, fulfillment, and happiness.

I had been an active netizen since 1997 but not fortunate enough to find my soul mate. Eight years had been wasted waiting and waiting for that special someone... yet, I am still loveless until now. Guess, I should give up waiting...

Now that kids are grownups and can manage their own lives, I am confident they can survive without me should my plan of working abroad pushed through. I'm still undecided what kind of job is best for me but, it's my desire to travel and meet special people as part of my job.

I'm currently looking for a good employer and notified some people about my interest to work again.

Akala ko noong gipit na gipit kami, kapag naibenta ko na ang bahay at lupa namin eh magiging maayos na ang takbo ng pag-iisip ko. Sa ngayon ay parang walang pagbabago, parang lumalala pa yata at saka lalo lang akong naging tamad at nakatutok sa mga online activities ko parati.

Hindi na rin ako nagdarasal tulad ng dati. Patawarin sana ako ng Diyos sa aking mga pagkukulang at mga kasalanan. Simula kasi noong naging magkaibigan uli kami ng EX ko, parang nakahiyaan ko na'ng magkumpisal. Kasi, laging ganoon ng ganoon ang mga pangyayari, paulit-ulit na lang.

Iniisip kong bitawan ang DSL namin para magkaroon ako ng panahong makapag-isip nang wasto at para pabagalin ang oras. Kaya lang, parang ang hirap mag-isa dito sa bahay simula alas siyete ng umaga hanggang alas siyete ng gabi eh wala ang mga bata dahil nag-aaral sila. Di kaya maloka naman ako na nakatunganga dito sa bahay?

Nakakalungkot isipin na sa malaon at madali, hindi ko na rin makakayanan ang ganitong pamumuhay at mapipilitan din kaming baguhin ang lahat sa isang taon. Sabi ko sa mga bata, di ko na kayang pag-aralin sila sa isang taon. Malamang ay humanap sila ng trabaho sa ibang bansa at baka ganoon din ang gawin ko. Masakit sa akin ang katotohanang kailangang magkahiwahiwalay kaming mag-iina sa isang taon para mabuhay. Malapit nang maubos ang pera namin mula sa pinagbentahan naming bahay at tuliro ako sa ngayon kung papaano namin haharapin ang buhay sa isang taon.

Sana ay patnubayan kami ng Diyos at ako'y nagpapasalamat dahil maayos pa rin ang buhay namin sa kasalukuyan. Akala ko kasi noon ay mas magiging matalino ang pagdedesisyon ko sa buhay ngayong maluwag-luwag ang buhay namin pero parang naging matatakutin lang ako at pinanghihinaan ng loob dahil magkakalayo kaming mag-iina sa darating na mga buwan... pero sa isang banda, alam ko na hindi kami pababayaan ng Diyos!

Most of my online friends wondered why I seldom blog like I used to.

I had some personal reasons for not blogging lately, not to mention that my blog archives kept growing. In the event I will have a change of heart and decide to discontinue using the net, what am I going to do with my blog? Do I have to keep paying for its web hosting fees monthly? These were common questions bothering me lately but, I must do something to slow down the time.

Since I became a netizen in November 1997, I couldn't believe I have wasted so much time avoiding the real world by sitting in front of my PC chatting and playing online games. Now that I am turning obese due to inactive lifestyle, I am caught in a limbo and a decision has to be made soon.

Whenever I am online, I didn't feel how time flies so quickly... I must admit I placed myself in a cyber space that made me occupied for nothing. What have I done for the past 8 years? Ugh... kids? Are they enough reason to be a dedicated mother? Am I dumb spending our bank savings until to the last cent before I will wake up that I must work also to support our daily needs? Life is great with us... yes, for now. And, I have 12 months to decide whether to drop this addiction to a more meaningful, active life!

Where am I today? I'm still sitting here in the privacy of my cold, dark room playing online games waiting for someone to love, wishing for something better to do and something real to hope for...

Sunday, April 24, 2005

Although I didn't blog like I used to in the past days, we're doing fine and busy playing games at home. Inactivity gave me guilt feelings and I didn't know whether I have to give up my DSL internet, move on, and find a job.

By next year, life will be harder if I keep playing games online and continue neglecting my responsibilities...

On March 10th, I registered with Informatics Computer Institute to attend a Web Studio Program - Flash MX. Duration of the course is 15 hours.

Yesterday, Pinky of Informatics called up and reminded me the class will start today. I didn't have the intention to take up the course anymore because I ran short of budget this month. However, to my surprise, Randy sent me yesterday some help through XOOM and advised me to go ahead. (Sighed) You're a God-send, Randy. Thank you very much for the sponsorship.

I'm too excited now to attend the afternoon class starting today (until April 5th), between 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. It will conflict with my scheduled bank transaction next week but, this March 30th batch is the best schedule they have.

Playing games on Neopets inspired me to study flash. Let me see if the saying, "you cannot teach old dogs new tricks" applies to me...

The disbursement method Randy made through XOOM was to PICK UP the money. We were both surprise because the remittance should go directly to my Equitable PCIBank account.

For safety reason, I changed XOOM button in this blog to remind generous donors to send me email about XOOM TRACKING NUMBER. Otherwise, I might not be able to get sender's donations.

Please be informed I won't be around between 2:00 p.m and 7:00 p.m. starting today until April 5th.

I was having negative thoughts again lately. The future scares me but, there's nothing to worry about, I prayed already for strength and guidance...

Sunday, March 06, 2005

I enjoyed watching OPRAH on Star World (SkyCable) this evening and their guests this time were the casts of Desperate Housewives. Those stunning women talked about the characters they portrayed and sex was the hottest topic. They prefer more sex over violence on TV though.

And I had thought, I know I consider myself desperate also... so desperate to be a housewife (again). I'm a single parent and played the roles of mother-and-father to my kids but, if I will only be a battered wife like my sister, I would rather choose to be single and be a devoted mother to my kids.

Am I happy? Honestly, not really... and, only time will tell whether I can still have that true happiness which my heart is longing for...

Are you prepared with the consequences of getting older?

I hate to admit it but some white hair are now proudly growing along with my silky black hair. Excess weight is inevitable. Just last week, I had swollen gums and a severe toothache. My vision is impaired that I had my eyes checked today when I accompanied my mother to have new reading glasses.

These are the results:
Distance: OD - 0.25 OS - 0.75 ADD OU + 1.75
Reading: Right eye + 1.50 and left eye + 1.00

Too much computer stuffs and inactivity resulted in an unhealthy me. It's time for you to have a look at a mirror and see if you are still the same person long before you became addicted online.

So many things had happened... will post them here soon...

Saturday, January 01, 2005

Since I sold the house, send the kids back to college and relocated in 2004, here are the top priorities I'm looking forward in 2005:

1. Everything which is better for the kids, God will help us.
2. Fall in love with the right man, right place, right time!
3. Get a job. Be productive. Be busy in the real world away from online stuffs.
4. Save money. Invest. Buy property.
5. Lose weight, get back my 27" waistline, and keep it for good.
6. Be wiser. Prettier. Happier.

Make your own New Year's Resolution 2005, too, and add your URL to Technorati.

My silence is caused by a holiday anxiety... hopefully, I'll get over it soon.

Wednesday, December 08, 2004

Simbang Gabi is fast approaching and yet, I have not decorated the house in preparation for the Christmas Holidays. If some teen-agers from a nearby Parish Church did not visited us this evening and sang some Christmas carols, I wouldn't noticed at all that Christmas Day is two weeks away!

I'm still undecided whether we should rush ourselves to the mall and buy what those rich mall owners want us to get from their store to display in our house. My children even asked me if we shall decorate the house or not but, I told them is there a valid reason why we should celebrate it? In my opinion, I would rather buy some gift certificates and give them away than spending lots of money for Christmas decors. It's no longer practical to show off some extravagance, let's admit it, very few people nowadays remember the real spirit of Christmas and why we are celebrating it.

If my eldest son is only with us, we might celebrate Christmas. It would be a pleasure to see all my children get-together...

I was thinking... what life would be like next year. Many Filipino people are starving, unemployed, and homeless. Not to mention the calamities hitting the country like typhoons and flashfloods. What's funny, the government says the economy grows by 6.3% by Third Quarter and our 'president' telling us Fiscal crisis was over. Utilities like water, electricity, and even LPG kept rising its value while grocery goods cost more compared in the last two months.

Year 2005 is fast approaching. What have I done noble this year to be a better person than last year? Can't help but, I'm still thinking... until now!

It's about time to shop for additional wardrobe. With few thousand pesos, I went to SM - North Edsa and bought myself 4 slacks, 5 blouses, and a pair of shoes. I was surprised that I'm now one size smaller... or, maybe I had lost some weight while trying on those stuffs???

Paul Denise just followed me after their PE dance practice and helped me carry those items. As usual, his service is not free! He demanded that he must have that back casing for his cellphone. As expected, when he had the casing, I have to pay also for the installation charges!!! Whew...

Friday, May 14, 2004

You don't realized how much my phone brought so much joy with me this morning when its line was activated. I immediately called my family and informed them of the new number and the next thing I did was to call 171 and asked for DSL and PLDt Vibe Features but, unfortunately, I have to wait until Monday before I could request for full features of my phone line.

For the meantime, I must bear with the slow 28.8 kbps dialup speed: It's better than no connection at all...

Astrology.com: Saturn is the Planet of Karma

Saturn is a strong disciplinarian and teaches us our lessons this lifetime. At times, this planet can be restricting and inhibiting. Joy is experienced once the lessons of Saturn have been learned. To understand your Karmic lesson, find what Sign Saturn was in at the time of your birth.

CAPRICORN is my sign of karma based on my date of birth!

Success at any price seems to be your motto. The price you usually pay is never being able to relax and enjoy life. Your nose is always to the grindstone -- and amazingly, it seems that you do it all to benefit others. Because you are so persistent you usually achieve your goals and find yourself in positions of authority. But shouldn't you examine the cost? If you want to ever evolve you might try answering this question -- 'Why am I working so hard all the time?' Your family and friends have probably been asking you this for so long it no long registers. And you might have pushed the answer so far down because the truth just might blow your entire do-gooder image. The answer is fear -- that's right, your need to control your environment so it never gets a chance to control you. You might want to explore your relationship with your mother as well. Who you are isn't bad -- in fact you can make wonderful things happen. You should just be honest with yourself about the motivation.

My best friend, Vera, invited me on her hubby's 48th birthday celebration in her stepfather's house just few blocks away from my house. She said they had no plans of holding any parties but, when couple of friends dropped by, they started serving foods and called me to join them.

I'd thought it would be a reunion with my neighbors but she didn't invite anyone last night except me. I had nice time with Vera's colleagues who were wives of current and past presidents of Rotary Club of Parañaque. Our favorite subject was politics! I was surprised that 3 among them prefer Gloria Arroyo for president while another one believes the same way I do when it comes to changing the current administration. And who is our favorite? Well... uhmmm... secret!

The over-all campaign manager of Olivares (For Mayor) was there too and I openly told the ladies I might vote for Bernabe instead. Both Moreno and Olivares served the people of Parañaque as First Lady and Mayor, respectively. I am anxious to see what changes Bernabe will do to improve our city...

To Lito, Happy 48th Birthday, wishing you and Vera the best!

This is a time of hard work when I have to correct the mess someone caused me. That someone is wasting my time, my concentration and worst, my children's money...

Wednesday, February 25, 2004

It's Ash Wednesday today and most of my loved ones advised me to attend a mass to feel better, I am currently under stress but, I know this wouldn't last for long...

Monday, February 16, 2004

This might be a difficult week for me and only God has the power to make it easier but, I must cross that bridge and I hope to learn from this life's lesson to avoid similar contingency to take place ever again...

TRUST and NEGLIGENCE were major factors, I blamed no one and have to consider the current troubles as hidden opportunity.

With utmost faith in God, I know I will make it through...

Friday, February 13, 2004

I had been pretty busy with my 5-page counter-affidavit and, I barely noticed that tomorrow will be the 14th, it's Valentine's Day once again.

Or, maybe because there is no one special to remind me of the importance of this day. I forgot to write also about Bernard's Valentine's day tips. For those busy people out there, surprise your loved ones with extra ordinary treatment on this LOVE DAY!

Remember:

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

I was cleaning the chandelier in the dining room when I miscalculated my steps while standing on the table and I fell to the floor, together with glass pitcher and some plates. It happened in split seconds and I couldn't believe my right foot was bleeding! I felt some numbness while cleaning my cuts, most were about 1 cm in size. I got scared in case my wounds would leave some marks but I tried to keep calm, stop its bleeding and no matter how much my kids pressured me to wash my foot with water, I couldn't move from where I fall because broken glasses were scattered around the carpet and with just one mistake, I might have another accident. I treated myself with alcohol and cotton only. It took me about 5 hours to completely stop the bleeding because the wounds bleed whenever I walk.

Although I cannot walk normally as I used to, I thanked God, it wasn't a serious one! Guess we have to wait until next week before my kids and I can watch Lord of the Rings...

I found this in my inbox, sent by Deepika, a fellow member of famous_quotes Yahoo Group.

RECIPE FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR

• Take twelve whole months.
• Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealousy.
• Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
• Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-one different parts, but don't make up the whole batch at once.
• Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.
• Mix well into each day one part of faith, one part of patience, one part of courage, and one part of work.
• Add to each day one part of hope, faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
• Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation, and one good deed.
• Season the whole with a dash of good spirits, a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play, and a cupfull of good humor.
• Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
• Cook thouroughly over radient joy, garnish with a smile, and serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness.
• You're bound to have a happy new year.

And, I received this from my eldest son and had thought of sharing this to all of you...

Although I had been real busy the whole day, I still cannot stopped myself from worrying about my daughter whom did not spend the New Year with us. I scolded her two days ago for causing some inconvenience when she accidentally deleted a file that's necessary to connect through the internet.

I know I hurt her feelings especially when I didn't give her any chance to correct her mistake and I let my eldest son fixed the problem which took him about 6 hours. Daughter left the house while I was in Tropical Hut Foodmart and believing her friend would spend the New Year's Eve with us, I cooked more food than what I earlier prepared.

I welcomed the New Year worrying about my baby. Daughter is a big girl now yet she will remain my baby and I missed her so much. Her best friend later sent a text message that my sweety Pearl is in Laguna with Kyle and family. It hurts to start the new year with my baby not at home but, she's big now to make her choices and I believe, she wishes me the best this year and beyond, wherever she is right now, however the pain I have caused her, I know deep inside her, she loves her mom very much...

Sweety, we are waiting for you to go home. Your Bimbo (I called her pet, Tootsie) is waiting for you also... and, before you go home, please buy on your way some food for your puppy otherwise, I will feed Tootsie foods you didn't like me to give...

Wednesday, December 31, 2003

As I was preparing for our Media Noche (midnight dinner) late this afternoon, I was in deep thought - what have I accomplished in 2003? Then, I started to defend each failures I had but I told to myself, so what if I failed? In general, we are still very blessed and I believe I have many reasons to thank God for. I may be shy to admit that I still do not have a job in spite of my willingness to do so but, the feeling of contentment is there, as long as my kids are with me, I am fulfilled.

And as the countdown to 2004 begins, I am seeing a new beginning, new hopes... and that, everything will gonna be fine.

A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL!

For many days now, my prayers were dedicated to the survivors and victims of natural calamities and crimes created by humans. I hope, before something bad happens to all of us, we already achieve the very essence of our existence here on earth.

Please let our loved ones know that we do care and love them...

Sunday, December 28, 2003

Please be informed that my house will be open to all my online friends and bloggers alike LIVE on Yahoo Webcam on the 31st of this month, between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Manila time (+8 G.M.T.) to join me in the New Year's Eve celebration. My sisters will simultaneously be online with me and I hope you will do the same thing to welcome 2004 with a new beginning - the more, the merrier. If you don't have Yahoo messenger version 5.6, you may download it here.

Anyone is welcome except perverts and offenders! So? Let's get connected...

Wednesday, August 13, 2003

I wish to be financially and emotionally independent... and I never lose hope...

Saturday, August 09, 2003

Just to let everyone knows that I am still in the country resolving some difficult situations..... hope all is well to all who still remember me...

God bless!

Tuesday, July 29, 2003

I may not be online regularly like before but, the kids and I are doing fine...

I would like to take this opportunity to blog my admiration for Lieutenant Antonio Trillanes (and his group), a leader of Sunday's mutiny, (Philippine Military Academy graduate, class of 1995) for bravely airing his sentiments against the current authorities running the Philippine government. As the 'military mutiny' glued Filipinos to TV and radio, I was sad to know that the Arroyo government prevented those 'supporters' to rally in the Metropolis by closing major roads and North expressway. How many Filipinos are really concerned about the real issues and are willing to step forward to expose powerful and influential people who were killing and selling our fellow Filipinos to justify terrorism does exists in the country (a conspiracy only God knows).

God is watching all of us, I believe what Capt. Trilliantes did was a modern heroic stance... And I personally believe the legitimate President of the country, duly elected by the Filipino people, none other than Pres. Estrada, has nothing to do with this 'rebellion'. This is an internal problem within the military and ranks.

Quote from Trillanes: "The Filipino people deserve the government that they now have."

See related topics:
70 officers, 226 soldiers return to barracks
Macapagal, Reyes, Corpus accused

The accusations of these young military soldiers were not new to me, I feel the Senate should look into this...

Well, I have limited time online, so, I just want to blog that I am fine and well and I have gained some weight :-)

Sunday, July 13, 2003

Although I was feeling so lost and disoriented for the past few days, God is always there for us. And, I know I should not continue feeling lost like this. In fact, there's so many things I enjoy which enough to thank God for. Maybe I am just feeling so impatient waiting for my visa and get tha job that would help me start with... I know some of you do pray for me and thank you for doing so, I need more of your spiritual support!

Thank you very much, Lord God, for the blessings and please bless those people also who care about me, a thousand fold!

Today's Astro Tip: "Mars is the planet representing ambition and power in the Zodiac. The 'Red Planet' as it is known brings energy, passion, drive and determination. This Planet requires you to stand up, be noticed and get things done! Mars awakens the power and confident expression of the individual and encourages the confrontation of challenges. However aggression is part of the plan here, although Mars also values courage and honor."

Here is my horoscope for today Wednesday 2 July 2003:

Do you feel like having an adventure? Well today, you're more likely to have an adventure when you go on a short journey. No need to go very far, just someplace you've wanted to go before, yet never been. Today is also a good day to surprise a close friend with news or a small gift.

Today, is in fact a very important day for me but, I wouldn't talk much unless I got a positive result sometime later this morning... may the Almighty God heard me...

Tuesday, July 01, 2003

Let's hope for the best that this month of July brings in more blessings to all of us. I know things were not the same as before, we could feel it, too. But, somehow, "whatever goes around, comes around". Life is best compared to a wheel. If we feel we're in the bottom right now, the only place for us to be is to go up once again. So, let us not worry so much and add up more wrinkles on our faces.

"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you."

Somehow, if frustrations and worrying would make us richer, I would be the first to volunteer...

Tuesday, June 17, 2003

I finally got my annotated BC this morning in spite of being ill. Twice I almost collapsed while in line claiming my BC in window 12 and while talking with Statistician when authenticating it.

I personally thanked Mr. Matabang once again for the big help and he taught me what to do next with my document. But, I cut the conversation short because I cannot talk longer, I was real dizzy and feel like collapsing.

I hurriedly went home and thanked God, I reached home safely, it's raining heavily outside and windy...

Meanwhile, tropical storm "Egay" (international name: Soudelor) whipped the Philippines

• a mother, her two young sons and a man drowned before dawn Sunday in Catbalogan town in the province of Samar;
• a total of 11,524 people, including 8,960 in the Bicol region and 2,564 in Eastern Visayas, were stranded due to the foul weather;
• a tornado destroyed some 20 houses in coastal village of Buenavista in Castilla town in the province of Sorsogon on Saturday;
• Classes in all levels in the provinces of Albay, Cagayan and Isabela were suspended Monday, the first day of classes for public elementary and high schools, because of heavy rains and strong winds;
• storm downs power lines

Angel of God
My guardian dear
To Whom His love
Commits me here
Ever this day
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide. Amen

I was bedridden since Saturday night suffering from influenza, diarrhea, low BP (due to PMS) and had no appetite to eat. I am calling all the nearest angels of God to please strengthen me and help me recover - I need to complete my documents prior to my interview on Friday.

Lord God, you're always there for me, please be with me...

Thursday, June 12, 2003

Your utmost and sincere prayers are earnestly solicited at this point. 'Though Heaven has been granting most of my wishes, let God knows how much you care for me...

Monday, June 09, 2003

My contract arrived today but unfortunately, I am unable to amend my passport yet.

I'd thought I am done with my BC but I was wrong: I received the duplicate copies of documents submitted for correction of clerical error on my BC (petition took me 2 months), they had annotated it and I got certificate of its Finality. I requested for a copy of my BC in security paper (SECPA) and will be released on the 17th of this month, processing is about 8 days. Then, once released, I still have to authenticate its copy for embassy purposes. I'd like to thank Dir. Ramon Matabang, the Registrar Director in Quezon City Hall, and also, Mr. Cariño who annotated my BC, and all the friendly staffs at the QC Registrar Office in assisting me with my petition - "..thank you and more power to all of you!!!"

On the other hand, sometimes I could not stop myself hating those people who made fraud documents. Living in this country of over 82 million population and full of fake and illegal documents, the foreign embassies demand legitimacy of these papers needed which consumed too much of applicant's money and time... ah!

If you have noticed delayed posting here, it's because I was unable to login lately to this site... Blogger's parent company, Pyra Labs, was purchased by Google and they are currently fixing remaining issues and will then begin the migration of blogs to the new version.

Monday, May 19, 2003

No matter how eager and interested I am in browsing more blog sites, my mind cannot absorb them - they look blank even I was reading them. The reality of life bothers me, I should not really spend more time online as there's so many things to do, so many things to fix... I will be away for about 2 years. Planning, preparing, and instructing the kids on what to do while I am not home. Gee, don't know really how they will manage the house without me.

I love my kids. And, I wish the best for them. They are all grownups now - they must learn to survive without me - a legacy I could give them as their single parent.

The net has been my world since 1997. There have been many nice people online who morally supported me during difficult times, when I was feeling so depressed. Somehow, it's time to move on, find a job and be financially and emotionally independent. I am at the peak of life's trials and challenges but I feel after this storm, everything will be revealed based on God's plan.

Well... uhmmmm... I sound emotional today because I had misunderstandings with the kids. How I wish they would think the way I do but, I know they need time...

I finally passed the last two series of my medical tests since I started taking them last month. And well, while "mother never told me there will be days like these", taking complete medical examinations at the age of 42 was not a real joke. I had my stress test twice due to computer error, printer ink ran out and so were bond papers. Although I didn't like to get myself reading glasses, I had no choice today but to pass my optical test, otherwise, my medical certificate will not be released.

I'd like to thank those friends who prayed for my welfare and wellness - glad it's over! I must admit there were many instances that God made things easier for me.

Although I am not very much ON AIR on my ECTV Channel these past few days due to busy life preparing for my trip abroad, I sometimes participated at 500 Citizens of the World Message Board.

Honestly, there are many things to be done and I wish God will make them easier for me...
