It’s 3AM and I specifically woke up to do some work in peace. Now, my mind is going blank – what do I do first? Blog? Wait, Im doing it already. Scrap – what to scrap? Which layout to do first? I think the problem with me is when I get so many things to do in my list, I end up doing nothing at all because I feel so overwhelmed.

Oh, I know. I think I’ll go resize some pictures I took today. That will give me something to blog about and share with you guys

It’s a Monday – I hope all you guys who work wake up early

Hve you ever seen a door that opens like this? Chrysler cars open like this! I cant believe they have these types of doors – totally cool. Chrysler 300 accessories are expensive since it is considered a luxury car already. (I actually dont know much about this I had to ask Edil what does he think of Chrysler cars! ). By the way, this type of door is called a suicide door. Installation is a bit complicated so professional installation is recommended

When we were in Sonya’s Garden, I kept gushing about the chandeliers and how authentically antique-looking they are. I have so many pictures of them but I still am so lazy to edit them. Do you have any tips on how to mass-edit pictures? I know I can routinely save time if I edit them once I import them from the camera. I read in one blog that once imported, she sorts them through, deletes pictures which are not really good, edits them – one in color, one in B&W, then keeps hi-res and web files. All of these are batch automated in PS. *sigh*

If only I have that kind of organizational bone.
Wait, if only I was that sipag pala

Is to have my own laptop. (Plus points if it is a DELL!)

Don’t get me wrong. We have a very nice desktopcomputer already. Sure, we can use a bigger screen, more memory and disk space, but it is holding out on its own, considering how much and how often we use it everyday. The Personal Computeror PC has been our source of earning money (for me and Edil), a source of learning and entertainment for Matthew and a source of stress release for me because I scrap digitally. Of course, with three of us sharing our desktop, we can sure have moments when we want to use it but cannot because it is not “our scheduled time” yet.

I have been partial to DELL because Glo swears by them – so I have been browsing at their site for some time now, and it seems I have found the notebook of my dreams . I just hope my dream can somehow come true soon!

We really do not have any plans of travelling during the holiday season, except we are planning to spend Christmas Eve in Amadeo. Most of our family and relatives are here, and most of my relatives abroad are going home for Christmas! They took advantage of the cheap package holidays‘ packages being offered by most travel agencies. Since most flights and bookings occur during the holiday season, it is bound to be a very busy season. The Holiday Hypermarket offers cheap holiday packages online. You can find holiday bargains which you cannot pass up, cheap flights and they have the list of all holidays all over the world so you can take advantage of their celebrations and be able to book faster too – online!

I was supposed to post these a few days ago but life got busy.

During my rest days, I take care of Martha almost 95% of the time. That involves taking her out – well, reluctantly. I hate going out of the house and making tambay the streets of Dimasalang (yak, conyo). If you have been in our area, imagine me trotting an expensive SLR letting a toddler walk around 4 feet ahead of me . In my defense, I let her walk on a quiet street (mostly oldies live there – grandparents, friends of MY grandparents (It is an old neighborhood).)

Anyway, you really have to believe me that Martha gets all excited when she feels she has been given the go signal to go out.

No prompts to smile here

So my nursing plans are becoming clearer – and I realized it is harder and more complicated than it looks, which makes me sad to know that I could have done everything sooner – preparation-wise, I mean. Thanks to Miko for the notes and Kaplan . And (Ate) Vi for the pointers! LOL.

So I talked to Edil and I really had to be honest that I need to really shell out some money soon. He understands that so he will find a way to fill in the gaps.

I also might stay at work, if thing do not go on as planned. In a nutshell, I need to wait around 4 to 6 months to get an ATT (authority to test). However, I thought of just moonlighting or even working as a nurse – clinical, hospital or even a school nurse. There is also a nursing school near our place where I know I can apply for an assistance lecturer (I dont want to say “professor” LOL). Point is, I think I need to shift careers so I can really “focus” on it.

And again, Im kicking myself for not doing this sooner.
UGH.
