Happy New Year! I wish you prosperity and good health and more success this Year of the Ox!
Sorry She! Meet me and my kids =)
Anika, Santi and Yours truly
I haven’t got time to check the email I am using for this blog. It’s been months now, I think. I always leave it to the reliable hands of my “cousin” who takes care of this blog when I am “on leave”. I am ashamed because I didn’t know a lot of bloggers have been thinking that Sherry and me are one person. Sherry or Sasha to most of you, is my “cousin”. She is my real cousin’s friend for the longest time now. We are therefore cousins as well. We met when she was still in college. She was the one who encouraged me to open a blog and try my hand in blogging.
She opened this blog for me, hosted in her own account. Helped me start my postings. Posts for me when I can’t blog. Drops Entrecard for me. Maintains this blog. Sometimes, replies to the comments for me. Helps me with monetizing. And so many more when it comes to blogging. She practically owns this blog, most especially that time I was in the hospital! We kept in touch through sms.
My real cousin, Fatima, was telling me to post about Sherry/Sasha and me because even her friends thought we are one person. Although we are both Chinese, I am pure Chinese while she’s a quarter I think. That’s me in the photo above. Although I blurred it a bit because that was taken when I was just a few weeks out of the hospital. Boohoo! That’s my daughter, Anika and my son, Santi.
Just to clear things up with everyone who ever had thoughts cross their minds that I am Sherry/Sasha. Ha! Ha! Sorry, She!
And so the holiday season begins…
I don’t know with your family, but with mine, the holiday season begins when September 1st steps in. It’s the Asian in us, I guess. Can you feel the air changing? It’s just full of barely concealed glee. In my home, everything bright is being taken out and put up. Curtains, rugs, pillow cases, bedsheets, everything, you name it.
Are you also like my family who treats September as the usher of the holiday season?
Have a happy and colorful September!
Busy as a bee
Yes, you read it right. I am busy as a bee right now. Trying to catch up with so many things both at work and at home. Of course, I work at home so there are many overlaps. Still, every little thing takes time to finish. I tell you, I am awake for 16 to 18 hours daily and it is never enough.
I am disappointed that the 2 tasks assigned to me was rescinded. It was a big amount but well, better luck next time. Both were due by next week but I guess they wanted me to finish it right away. I am hoping they will give it back. I really pray they do.
Anyway, I will post some more about what’s happening to me and the kids lately. In the next couple of posts 
Learning to tolerate
No two person are alike. I have heard this line time and time again. I know it to be true, of course. Me and my brother are the primary example of this line. I am a bit impatient most of the time. I would get up very early if I have to meet someone on time. I don’t like having someone wait for me. And I expect the same courtesy. My brother, on the other hand, loves to take his sweet time over things. Easy going, you cannot rush him, I tell you. He’ll just snap at you when you pressure him to go faster than his normal way. That’s him.
But over time, especially when you mature, you learn how to tolerate these little idiosyncrasies of the persons around you. You learn how to tolerate their quirks. I have mine, you have yours, I am sure.
If you want harmony around you, tolerance is the key.
A fun weekend with the family
There is no place like home. Cliche but true. I love spending time with the family. It could either be going to other places. It could also be just hanging around the house. But wherever we are, as long as we’re together, that’s a blessing in itself.
Have a great, great week!
