Surprised that hubby was free to go home by 8:00 pm but by the time he reached the office to fetch me, it was raining cats and dogs. Ang lakas ! So rather than be stuck in traffic, I asked if we could go watch a movie instead. Instant date night! I needed to relax a bit. My head was aching from the number of issues I had to address. I would rather be busy than stressed anytime. But then, issues and queries put me on my toes, make me think beyond the box and force me to stretch a bit, get out of my comfort zone, reach out, consult, learn. Daming sinabi. Haha! I'm trying to look at the positive side. The proper mindset helps me a lot at work. Worrying and being anxious is useless, I know. The moment I have learned to let go (a bit) of my fears of failure and confrontations, the nature of my work became more manageable (on most days, at least).

Yesterday, we had an early dinner in the office courtesy of those who got promoted ( ahem ). We ordered yummy lechon from Elar's. 15 kilos of roasted pig was gone in approximately 30 minutes!

The 4th picture shows what was left of the kawawang baboy. 😋 We also had soupy sinigang sa miso and sweet leche flan, thanks to our in-house caterer - ECG. Happiness! 👍 ________ 15k lechon approximately P6,500 + P500 for the chopper *photo courtesy of Elar's facebook page - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I am supposed to be a successful and career-driven woman. Afterall, I graduated with honors, passed the board exams and have had a good career head start. And then suddenly, I was lost. I don't know what I want anymore and I don't have the drive to aim for more. I want to do something else. I want to write. I want to design. I want to edit photos and make invites. I want to blog. I need help and counseling. I need a mentor. I need someone to look up to. And I also need money, lots of them. I am okay. I mean, I am happy that i have my hubby and son and that we are blessed to have more than enough for our needs and wants. But as I get older and wiser (I hope), I begin to question myself, is this it? Is life just supposed to be about me and my family and friends. Aren't we supposed to have a purpose, a deeper meaning, to touch lives and all that? This then brings me to my next endeavour - to obtain financial freedom so that I can do what I want in my own time. I can also start...
