Almost there...

I can't contain my excitement. David and I are planning our trip to Philippines. It's been close to 4 years since the last time I was home. So many things have changed from then. My best friends are now Mommies. They've got their pride and joy and are very happy and content with the joys of motherhood. I have yet to find out what that entails, although I have enough experience with infants, babies and kids just by taking care of my cousins hands on.

I'm digressing. But needless to say, there's so much catching up that needs to be done. Not only that, we're going to be hoping from one island to another so David can meet my family and I'm talking about the entire clan. Haha. I'm pretty sure that the family gathering I had with his family in Wisconsin last year is not even close to how much of my family he's going to be meeting.

All of these have to done in 3 weeks. Goodness! I wish we can stay longer. Well, I can. David has to get a visa, it's not a big deal but we both have jobs that we have come back to and our doggies. We still have yet to look at our options on where we'll have them boarded. Maybe I can find somebody reliable who's going to treat our babies with lotsa love and affection while we're away? There's always the boarding place but it costs and arm and a leg for both of them. I just want them safe and not abused.

Speaking of work, I am still waiting for my approval. I've given my leave application to my supervisor and I'm hoping there's no glitch. We're so short staffed, it's not even funny.

But I'm firm on my decision that if they don't give me my time off, I'm going to quit. My family matters more to me than any job in this world.

We'll see. For now, I'm all about positive thoughts and looking forward to going home! :)

I'm sure the Universe can hear me...

So much happened yesterday that I literally was waving my white flag. I was to the point of giving everything up. I want to do so much, achieve so much but there's nowhere for me to start and I feel like there's no way I could move further.

Then, I realized that I have to make it happen. I have to pave my way. There's going to be a lot of elbow grease. But I know the effort will be worth it.

Interwebs, I'm putting this out there. Someday, in the near future, I will be a great photographer. I will be known as an artist with a heart and my images will captivate the subject's story and personality.

I believe it's going to happen in its own time. In my heart, I know this is what I want to do.

Hopefully, a year from now, when I look back and read this post, I'll smile and pat myself on the back for not giving up, as daunting as it is right now...

This is my dream. I will make it happen. So help me God and the Universe.
