10 Minutes Before December 2nd
I just want to write something for December 1st since it’s the start of the month. But I don’t exactly know what I want to talk about. Let’s see, December 1st :
I worked out. New month, new beginning… OI
My daughter is getting better from her fever the night before. She had a fever, and was shivering in the morning so I bundled her up with pajamas, and blankets then gave her Children’s Tylenol. 2 hours later she was sweating and actually made her feel better. I remember my Mom used to do that when my brother and I would get sick with fever.
Oh, Thanksgiving weekend, it was my son who was sick. I got sick the week before Thanksgiving.
Guess who is sick today? The Hubster, of course.
With everyone getting sick I completely forgot to put up Christmas decor after Thanksgiving. That’s usually our tradition. I’ll do it this weekend instead.
I’m thinking of getting my bangs back. Not sure yet but I want to keep my long layered hair style. I miss my long hair. The bangs is now more of a side-sweep. Thinking about having it fringed. Aaaah.
What else? Oh I got a new job. I am now writing for Alba Fan. Woohooo. Visit me there if you’re a fellow Jessica Alba fan 
.
I’m Back, Again…
Pardon the mess in my office. Just when I finally got my blogging mojo back and started blogging here more often my hosting server went down. For almost a month now. Figures. I was so worried I was going to lose all my archives and start all over again. I discovered I could import entries that I’ve written using Live Editor so I started doing that and then the old server came back so I rushed to get all my entries from the different blogs. Exept for 1 blog which is probably my biggest blog since it’s about Filipinas In Showbiz. So for the past 3 days I’ve been up until 2 am in the morning re-posting posts into that blog. Dammit. Thank goodness for having more than 1 computer. I was multi-tasking to the max using the laptop that I took from the corner office in the living room to my desk in the main office. See, I write some stuff in the living room while watching TV. My husband thought it would be cool to have the laptop there for that purpose.
Holy Moly Uber-Blogging Much?
It just occurred to me a few minutes ago how much I blogged today. I was about to twit/plurk/facebook about it but It’s a little long so I figured I’d utilize my blog by writing it here instead. Which makes this mky 2nd post for the day here.
MY OWN BLOGS :
FeistyMomma (2) : Capiz Candle Holdres, and this one.
Feistycook (1) : Mostaccioli With Spaghetti Meat Sauce
Style & Flair (1) : Kim Kardashian Wears Eva Culture Necklace
Food Luscious (3-food photoblog) : peanut butter cupcakes & chocolate frosting, pork roast stuffed with mushrooms & onions, and Mostaccioli With Spaghetti Meat Sauce.
Filipinas In Showbiz (1) : So Jewel Mische, Whatcha Been Up To?
A More Relaxed Work Schedule Equals Less Stress
Before everything else, I said “Less Stress” instead of “Stress Free” because there will never be a week when I’m not stressed about something. I’m stressed about all sorts of things. Some of them don’t even pertain to my life, like the Jon & Kate developments, but yes, “Less Stress” are more appropriate words.
After working at home for almost a year now, my Husband went back to the grind of a regular job. It’s actually the same company he used to work with. The professional blogging jobs between the two of us had been really good. My husband was able to quit his old job before to work at-home through professional blogging, which helped with spending more time with the family, and believe it or not, saved A LOT of gas.
Coming Up For Air
Oh My gosh, my last entry was 2 weeks ago. I have been soooo busy, stressed, and in need of a really good night sleep. I finally got a decent sleep last night. I made sure to go to bed at a decent hour of 11pm. Work is work is work and I love it but it’s also overwhelming at the same time. Especially when you have deadlines to meet. Then of course there’s the thing called life with the kids and the husband. OI!
But I can’t really complain. Life is good. Busy and stressful but good nonetheless. Neglecting my personal blog is frustrating but it’s the least of my worries. Right now I’m behind my exercises. It’s been cold lately. It’s easier to just cuddle up in my robe and knock out work as early as I can so I can at least rest a bit at the end of the day. Excuses, excuses I know. This week is probably not going to be much better. March should be more balanced though. Right now I’m in the process of catching up because of some work stuff that took a little bit of time. Add the lack of sleep, and painful mouth sore I suffered last week.
I’m still a bit tired but I know I’ll bounce back in a few days or so. Thanks for checking up on me .
Personal Project : Style & Flair
I have always wanted to start a personal network involving the Fashion and Beauty industry rolled into one. Granted most of my professional blogging jobs already revolves around it, I’ve felt limited because I write about specific topics. Like Men’s Fashion, Bargain Fashion and Kids Fashion. I’ve just recently added Beauty in my repertoire. But see, I like the other aspects of fashion and beauty as well. Fashion Reality shows (Project Runway, etc..) I watch and follow religiously every week. The world of the high-end fashion that I drool over almost everyday. I wanted to write more in depth about them instead of just writing notes on Plurk or Twitter.
Last month I finally got my gear on and worked on fulfilling this "dream". With the help of my friend Star, she and I planned and executed the whole thing in the beginning of October. She and I were on skype every night deciding on the images, colors, etc.. after I found the perfect WordPress theme. While I loved the theme, the webdesigner in me just had to configure/customize some parts to fit how I envisioned this "dream" to look like. Kinda like how I customized the theme I’m using here at FeistyMomma. By the 20th, Style and Flair was ready to be introduced online. I showed a few friends to preview and get their input. Positive feedback, YAY. Star and I decided to to wait until the 1st of November to officially launch. But because we were so excited, we kinda let the Plurkdom and Twitterdom have a sneak peek.
Yesterday was November 1st and we had the launch party. Although Star and I celebrated separately it was still fun . I actually celebrated earlier than November 1st. I did it during the Halloween party we attended to. My 1st gold schlogger shot was dedicated to Style & Flair as well as some frustration I was feeling that day after discovering something a little shady going on behind my back. But oh well, bygones. After the first shot I pretty much don’t remember what else I drank, LOL.
Anyhooo, hope you check out Style & Flair. We cover all things Fashion, Beauty (except the ones we cover on our blogging jobs), and Fashion TV. If you have a fashion, beauty or shopping blog, check out our join page to find out how you could be part of the community we want to build in our little neck of the woods. See you there.
I Hate Being Sick
I didn’t mean to disappear on the 2 people that reads my blog (thank you) , but yes, I have been sick all week. Dry cough, sneezing, major headache and scratchy voice. Ugh. I hate being sick. But then who really does like being sick? Unless a person who is on the verge of suicide every 2 minutes when the attention is not focused on him/her gets off about being helpless, I think pretty much every normal person HATES being sick. Whoaaaa, where did that come from? I don’t know. I’m sick, don’t ask me too many questions.
Anyway, I’ll be back in my normal blogging self by tomorrow. Hopefully.
Office Makeover & Philippine Blog Awards Nomination
First of, I just discovered today that I am nominated in the Philippine Blog Awards under the Special Awards : Best Network Blogger category. I only visited the website this morning coz I was wondering if the event was done and if my fellow Mommy friend Rach won the blogger’s choice award. Who knew I’d find my problogging portfolio site as one of the nominees in the aforementioned category. It was such a surprise. And sooo cool .
The PBA is on tomorrow at 6pm, registration starts at 5pm. I’m assuming that’s Philippine 5pm time. I’m really not sure what the time conversion here for US clocks. I think you have to add 14 hours. to anyone who wants to watch it live through online streaming, visit Noemi/About My Recovery for all the infos.
I’ve never been nominated for anything this prestigious so I’m kinda of in shock and giddy..LOL. Thanks Philippine Blog Awards. I wish the organization and all the people involved, nominees included a successful and fun event. I wish I could be there and partake in all the fun and meet everyone. Maybe someday .
