Sleep deprived

Apr 13, 2010 under Health | 4 Comments

I haven’t had a decent sleep for two days because I’m trying to finish writing opportunities before I get really busy this coming week. If I have more time I will try to write scheduled post for all the memes that I have joined. I’m sleepy right now and the only thing that I’m looking forward to after posting this one is to lie down on the bed or sofa to catch some sleep. I’m still awake but I’m imagining myself lying on outdoor cushions where I can stretch my tired and aching legs. It would be nice if we have a patio to place a comfortable cushion where I can also blog after taking a nap.

Lack of sleep is unhealthy, I know. It is the culprit why I gain so much weight and decrease my resistance to common illness like flu.

I hope to visit my friends’ and the Marces blogs this afternoon. See you in a while.

~Click the badge and get the code then put the logo on your blog sidebar and post.
~Tell us what is your contribution to our planet? You live here for surely you’ve got something to share!! Post any pictures or share some of your ideas on how to help and save out planet Earth.
~Post this rules.
~Share this meme-tag to as many Blogger as you can think.

*** I re-use plastic or bottle containers at home. This way my household don’t add up to the burden of garbage management in my city; I turn off the lights when they are not in use; most of the light bulbs that we use at home are energy savers; except for important assignments, we don’t allow kids to stay as long as they want in front of the computer.

I’m now sharing this tag to all responsible inhabitants of Mother Earth, that means YOU! Come on grab the tag now and do your share. Show that you care.

New sideline

Apr 13, 2010 under Miscellaneous, family | 2 Comments

Hubby has accepted a new sideline. This is the same project that I’m telling you about in my previous posts. Hubby and I will be working partners so any technical problem that will arise will be handled by him. The project will start two weeks from now. Our lady friend who commissioned us for the job is calling us regularly to give each other updates on how far have we studied the demo program. This is going to be a big project so any possible mistake on our part will make or break our prospect to work with Microsoft for a long time. If we deliver a good job then we are in. The new job will be a big help for our family in terms of income (although I have no idea how much will be our budget for this).

Will I be able to do my online activities once the job started? I hope my absence from the blogging world will only be temporary. I’m sure my research about cigars will have to take a back seat until I’ve adjusted to my working schedule.

MYM - Yellow flower

I’m so proud and happy that a lot of friends take notice of my daughter’s color painting. Aside from landscape she also draws human faces too. I will share her recent drawing in my next post.

Some of my friends are wondering if my daughter had attended art classes before. I told them she has yet to attend one. My daughter learns to draw and paint on her own. She reads art books and research for reference photos as often as she can.
