Monday Thoughts

     So here I am on a work-free Monday morning not sure how to spend it. I have laundry waiting for me and I have honestly not yet taken a bath. The kids have gone to school and the hubby is on his way to work. The bed is so inviting for a nap. I am actually thinking of sleeping the whole day to get fully energized. The past days I have been juggling career and motherhood and that thing I call "wife-ing," that I had less time for blogging and oh well doing what I love doing most- sleeping. I have not gone jogging for several weeks now and I have stubbornly been battling with flu the past week. I drank and drank my favorite medicine for any discomfort that I feel- H20...works most of the time. The hubby drove me to the university on Saturday after my 24 hour duty and oh boy I was running a fever. Lack of sleep and rest finally took a toll on this not that sexy body. I was able to enroll though enduring the headache and the stuffiness of my nose and was also able to give the kiddos a great time at National Bookstore choosing new books to read. Roel grabbed a "wimpy kid" book while Cis bought two "Bob Ong" authored stuff. I was jokingly telling the hubby maybe we should seriously start writing a book in Filipino too.

I am amazed at how successful Bob Ong has become. I browsed his words curious about what my son loves so much reading in his works. His humility and simplicity and humor is inspiring. I wish I had such a drive to write and then look for a publisher. Then again it is always free to dream right? One day I will really work on a book and pull heaven and Earth to get it published. I was so tempted to purchase some novels if only to get inspiration to write one. Yet as always I was able to stop myself thinking I should get "real," and accept the fact that I am not that good enough to be able to come up with something the whole world would read and enjoy. So I put the novel back into its shelf and just daydreamed of one day becoming a published author. For now, the laundry waits and I have to take a bath. If there is one thing that I have to consider an accomplishment this day is the fact that I have decided to turn this blog into my "blah" "blah" chronicle....you know, my "whatever comes out of my brain," page.

     This very moment I do not look glamorous at all. I am wearing my favorite black worn out shirt matched with pink shorts and my hair is unkempt as a bird's nest and I smell sour yet I can say that I am happy, inlove and getting back to being healthy.

     I will not post a photo of me being ugly though as that would be in contradiction to my other plan for this blog which is to make it my ahem, "fashion" page....so here's ME when I have time to comb my hair....

....next time I will share with you the shortcut to looking great in a photo.....

but please do remember always

...that real beauty is having a heart that listens and generous, caring hands.... 

BE HAPPY, HEALTHY AND INLOVE

may your home be always filled with  love, peace and happiness...
