This calls for a celebration!!! 

100,000 plus page views!!!


I started blogging in 2006 using Friendster Blogs. I posted two blogs with BLOGGER in 2009 but stopped. In December, 2011, I decided to use Blogger full time. So, in less three years and 100,000 page views later... I am still grateful!

Thank you for all checking in on what's on my mind. Thank you for visiting! I truly appreciate it!

NAMASTE.

 


overwhelming week!

I am honestly overwhelmed by a lot of things.

First, Ordered books haven't arrived yet for my Biology class.. I need to work on 4 assignments this week to catch up! Plus 2 more articles to read and 1 more news to submit.

Second, I just received an email about Inclusion Training that I need to conduct... This is actually good since I can see the unconditional confidence my coordinator has for me! The thing is, I've no preparation and it will happen tomorrow!!!.

Third, My application on T-visa, receipt of notice hasn't arrived yet, I hope it will arrive soon! Plus, the Biometrics... so it'll be one less worry

Fourth, I'd like my parents to visit us here!!!

Fifth, work related checking of IEPs haven't been done yet.. and I've a lot to check!!!
PPTs and parent intake is a mess, I need this done, at least 2 weeks before!!! and I'd love my records clerk to be proactive and doing her job on time!!!

Oh well, I just need to prioritize and I am sure it will all go well as planned. If I need to attend all meetings, then I just have to do it.

This too shall pass.

I'm 40 and I Love It! :)


I AM 40!!!

Well, that just took a lot of courage in me to be revealing my age when I've actually stopped counting at 33! 

When asked about my age in application forms, I had to subtract the year with my birth year before coming up with the correct age! But of course! LOL!

Why did I stop counting? Direct Answer. I've decided to stop judging myself. 

Age, would be people's way and sadly, my own personal basis of how I should act, behave and look based on what the society expects me to act, behave and look! I'd hear people say that I should act my age! HUH? So, would that mean, the older you get, the more serious, dull and boring you become? Mmmm, that's just not what I envision my life to be, unfortunately! Lol!

Age would also be the basis of what status we should already be at, at this age, "You should already be married with kids?" DUH? and ostracize those who have chosen to stay single at high-risk pregnancy ages? 
No, no, no, no, no.

So, I've decided long ago to stop counting and just enjoy my years on earth!

And.. now at 20.. I mean, 30.. oh yeah! 40.. Lol! I've decided to lovingly accept me as me! 

Acceptance will start from me... and who I've become after 40 years of living, loving and learning and I am embracing all of it wholeheartedly! 

I am grateful , blessed, and full of joy for all the 40 years of God's blessings and miracles in my life. I am still amazed, full of awe and wonder, and will continue to be fascinated and enchanted by His love, compassion, and generosity for another 40 more years of life! :)

Thank you everyone for sharing this momentous event of my life! :)

To God be the Glory!

NAMASTE.
