random things

i wrote my 2011 goals a few posts back. i am quite amazed and happy that i'm reading again! that's one item off my 2011 list. :) i actually never thought i'd find the motivation to read. i stopped when i gave birth to my eldest and never recovered even after i had the time. now i found myself hooked on books! i bought 5-6 books 3 weeks ago and another 4 books just last week! good thing, some of them are second-hand (but in good condition) ones so they're a lot cheaper. i'm really enjoying this love affair with books and the current one i am reading is just pretty funny, i often catch myself smiling or laughing alone. =)

sometime last year, the hubby proposed that we will let go of our 3-year old son's nanny before (heaven forbids!) an accident happens because she is just too inefficient. i requested that we do it when classes end in March because I just wasn't ready to be on my own looking after this hyperactive toddler. plus i suddenly felt the need to go back to work 'cause i could see that it wasn't practical to just have one breadwinner. i'm only human, i get "depressed" at times that i don't have my own income and could not buy the things i want to buy. =D i prayed for 'guidance' on what i should do. and as P and K said, the ultimate sign came three days ago. said nanny talked to me and asked permission to go home for good. i was both relieved and worried! worried because i am not too confident if i'd do well being my son's fulltime nanny mom. and of course, it means there is no chance anymore of me ever going back to work. but i wnat to be positive about this so i'm taking the challenge. :)

i wrote in my fitness blog that i am quite pleased that (for the millionth time) i found the motivation again to shape up. i do not want to do so many things all at once because i know myself, i'd get overwhelmed with all these goals and quit. i wanna do it right this time so i am making and taking one goal at a time and i "designed" a 3-week plan that will run from February 15th to March 8th. the goal is very simple for most of you, i know, but for someone who'd die without eating rice, it's a sacrifice. ;) i will not eat rice at dinner.

got to stop now, it's getting long. :)
