sweetie's recent resignation prompted me to think of my current job. he's now working with my parents in our tailoring shop as marketing manager. he has proven to be of huge help in the family business and we're hoping that his presence will propel the business into something more prosperous, something more successful. i attribute our inability to conceive a child now to work-related stress, and i don't want to wait too long for the blessing to happen. work in the past month has been hell. i broke down and pitied myself but i tried so hard to push myself not to give up. i wanted to stop caring but i couldn't, not when other people are relying on me. i tried to reach out, but got nothing in return. the next month will be a different challenge. i hope i get past this stage of discontent. soon, i hope.

sabi sa isang site: "Burnout undermines your happiness, and it's not about time. Burnout has little to do with how many hours you work and a lot to do with the type of work you're doing. Burnout comes from not being able to achieve what you want to achieve even though you are working hard to get it."

i want to pursue our t-shirt business. and i want an isawan. seriously. and i want to answer "yes" when i'm asked if i'm happy with everything that's happening in my life.


i love popping the air bubbles in bubble wrap. the other day sweetie bought me an entire giant sheet of bubble wrap! i pop it when i watch tv and when i want to de-stress. he never fails to make me smile and i appreciate all the things he does for me -- grand or trivial. cheesy, i know, but it's true. i'm lucky!Ü
