Back to work

by Honney

I was a little reluctant to go back to work. But I don’t have a choice, do I? LOL.

My fellow QAs prepared a welcome tarpaulin for me. They hung it at my station. How sweet! Thanks, guys! It really made my day.

It took me two hours before I recognized this thing above my head though. LOL. By the way, this blog is now hosted at 3ix. I love their 24/7 chat support! They made things easier for me. But my other blog is still hosted at O2g . I can’t believe their server has been down for almost a week now without notice. When their server is finally up and running, I’ll transfer it to 3ix.

Melancholy

by Honney

Proverbs 22:26
Train a child in the way he should go, and even when he’s old he will not turn away from it.

Two weeks from now, my 78-day maternity leave will come to an end. I can’t help but feel a little melancholy. I know I’ll have a lot of catching up to do in the office and I’ll probably be very busy. I am scared to lose time and energy for my little angels. Part of me just wants to stay at home and take care of the kids, do a little ministry work in our church and put up a small business. But the truth is, I don’t have the guts to do so. I know in my heart that being a stay-at-home mom is a luxury that I can’t afford right now.

I need to help my husband reach our goals. After all, it’s for our kids’ future. All we want is to give them the kind of life they deserve.

My wonderful children, Greg (4 years old) and Ayesha (1 month old).

I only hope and pray that God would help us raise our children well while working earnestly for their future. Child-rearing is not an easy task. You don’t instantly reap what you sow. As parents, we are bound to wait years till we see the real fruit of our hardwork. One day, I want to be able to give myself a pat on the back and say, “Honney, you did an excellent job raising your children!”

My Summer Had Just Begun

by Honney

Before I pursue blogging about my six-day adventure in Bohol in January, let me just tell you that I was in Puerto Galera last week with my team mates. We were all very stressed out so we agreed that a memorable summer getaway would undoubtedly ease our stress away. I brought my husband along with me since he hasn’t been there too. We had a lot of fun!

Aside from island hopping and snorkeling (yes, I finally tried snorkeling for the first time and I soooo loved it!), what I enjoyed the most in Puerto Galera is SHOPPING!!! Beach dresses, t-shirts, board shorts, swim suits, sarongs, beach bags, slippers and all sorts of souvenirs are cheap there. So I went shopping until I dropped! Hahaha!

Here are some of my favorite photos taken by my husband.

More photos here.

Travel tip:
Always stay at a beach front resort especially if you’re traveling with a big group so you’ll have a quicker and easier access to the beach. In my experience during our recent stay in Puerto Galera, some of my team mates spent an ample time sleeping/staying in the room because they’re too lazy to go out. My god.

I had fun, sure, but too much time had been wasted.
