Starting Anew

And now, I'M starting over again... it's not the easiest thing to do...

Kinanta mo, noh? (You sang it, right?)

A Year After... Plus An Invitation

Hello! I am sooo... back! Nearly a year after I gave birth to my firstborn, I am super back! So many changes, but dear angels, I am still ALIVE!

I wanted to write about so many things... from my birthing story, to my life as a new mommy, to being a working breastfeeding mom, to being a teacher after being a mom, to chattering about my little ray of sunshine. I guess I am managing my time kind of well because if not, I won't be able to write this post. Haha!

On the other hand, let me just quickly post about..

:

BRIGADA ESKWELA 2016

Brigada Eskwela is a project spearheaded by the Department of Education. It is designed to prepare the school through the aid of the community in line with the first day of classes. It will run from May 30 - June 4, 2016.

This year, the theme of Brigada Eskwela is: 

"Tayo Para sa Paaralang Ligtas, Maayos, at Handa Mula Kindergarten Hanggang Senior High School."

It aims to prepare the school and make it a safe place for students not only during class, but also in times of calamities.

Let's all go out and support our local schools. Let's work hand in hand to make our schools a clean and safe place for the children of the future! ^__^

If you may ask, I work in P. Gomez Elementary School, Sta. Cruz, Manila. For those interested to volunteer or send in donations/in kind, kindly send me a message through Facebook, Twitter, or Email. Just hit the Contact Me up there. ^__^

See you around, sweethearts! ^_^

New Layout

This will be a quick post. I have to go to church in a while. 

But...

Hooray for a new layout! I have to remove some clutter from my blog and I still need to add a few stuff but I am happy that slowly, my blog is coming back to life... 

Thanks to Ms. Tipsy and Mr. Ponggo of the Googly Gooeys for the boost of inspiration and confidence! Now, I am not only inspired to write, but I am also now inclined to go back to my love of arts. Please, do visit their blog for a lot of fun, quirky, and inspiring posts! Click on this link to go to their site. They are so adorbs!!!

See you all soon!!! ^___^ <---such a="" big="" face="" fat="" haha="" happy="" p="">

Fill in the Blanks

I couldn't think of a good title, so, just fill in the blanks! Hahaha!

Anyway, the past few days, my hands have been itching to blog. However, I decided to organize and transfer my files from my laptop to an external hard drive. I have been using my laptop since 2010, I had the motherboard changed last year, and as much as I needed to buy a new one, I can't afford one right now; we have to prepare for our baby's arrival. ^_^

Today, I spent time preparing a few materials and gathering new ideas for my class this year. I want to prepare ahead of time so that when June comes, I would have less time to worry about. Also, I want to be able to spend more time with baby when he comes.

Oh! I am so excited!!! ^_^

I think this pregnancy has inspired me to do a lot of things. Even going back to blogging. I super admire mommy bloggers like my beloved Ms. Shen and Ms. Nikki because they were able to juggle their careers, blogging, and mommyhood. I wish I could do that too. 

Going back to blogging, I deleted my old files, ones which I was supposed to write about a couple of years back. I told myself, "I'm giving myself another chance in blogging. I will start from scratch, just like how I started years ago."

To start anew, I browsed for free blogger layouts. unfortunately, I couldn't find "the one".  How I wish I have the time and energy as well as the talent to design my own page. I want to start fresh that instead of trying my hand at designing, I wasted my precious time looking for the perfect design. I found gorgeous but affordable designs, but I am afraid to purchase one for some reasons. So, my blog design would have to wait. What's important is, I am writing again. :)

But I hope someone would be kind enough to help me with my blog design and all things blogging. :D

So, what do I write about next? My pregnancy? My teaching career? 

Please join me as I embark into a new journey in my blogging life. 

Wow! I feel so relieved! Finally! I was able to blog again! Woot!!! ^_^

Yup! I had my long tresses cut short! :D

Till my next post! 

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

I know, I know... I've been gone for too long. Blame it on my teaching career! Haha!

My first year and the succeeding months were tough, but slowly, I am getting the hang of it. They say many idealistic stuff about teaching (and I am an idealistic person, as one of our college friends said), saying that it is a noble job, the greatest of all professions, and blah, blah, blah... Once you get in the real "battleground" you'll see the reality of it all. I'm not saying that it isn't a fulfilling career, what I only mean is, it is an entirely different thing once you are in the real setup. So far, I am embracing it and still convincing myself that I am in the right track. I aim to provide my students the very best of what I could offer.

So, just as I have entitled this post, I have so much to share to you guys! So much that I don't know where to start...

Hmmm... why don't we start with this...

 

Yes! We are pregnant! Right now, I am exactly 20 weeks on the way. The first photo up there was taken when I was only about 8 weeks pregnant. The second photo was my very first belly shot, taken last January. I think I should take a more recent belly pic one of these days. 

So far, I am so joyous with this blessing because as early as now, our unborn baby has started to change our lives already. The husband is more caring and loving than ever. I mean, he's a bit more showy of his affection than before. I have so much to say about this whole pregnancy thing but let me take a break and put that in another post... hopefully. Hahaha!

Next, as far as teaching is concerned, I feel that I am taking the reins aleady. Slowly, but surely. This deserves another post. 

And last, but not the least, beauty-related concerns? I am still up to that but I am starting to feel left behind with some beauty trends and whatnots. Yet, I am still passionate with this craft. I'm still learning and exploring new things to improve my knowledge. Yes. I am still the family's official makeup artist! Haha! 

I'm hoping to be able to have more free time soon so that I could update my site with lots of things that goes on in my life. Also, I want to upload my latest beauty routine, some tutorials, and so much more! Let's hope that I'll be back to blogging for good. ^_^

Till then! Thanks for dropping by!!! ♡♡♡
