I have not been blogging regularly. Shame on me. This past few days I found out more about MBA. Sounds challenging, intensive writing, networking, heavy workload period. Now, this makes me to reconsider doing part time MBA. Part-timing would take years before I could finish :) Maybe continue working until Fall 2008, quit and do school full time is a better idea... Sigh... I DONT KNOW
I asked my sister the other day for her support. She told me she doesn't know... hehe I know she doesn't want me to stay here in the states any longer, she wants me to be home. I don't want to disappoint her, but I think I need to do whats need to be done for my own future. Before decided to go to grad school, I'd gone back and forth about what I'm gon do about my future..... It ain't an easy task. I know I know, no one says life is easy.
You know what, my brain is drawing a blank right now. I'll write some more later.

Lucky girl I am
Received a call from my mama this morning, it is always a delight to hear her voice after so many years of living on my own. Hearing from her lifted my spirit up...
After our phone conversation, I started thinking how lucky I am to be my parents daughter. My parents are very supportive in a lot of things that I choose to do, but to actually hear my mother say it out loud made a world of difference to me... Papa and mama definitely are not one of your needy parents, they need you for this, they need you for that. Oh trust me, I've seen those people. Can you come over to pay my bills online? Can you come over to mow the lawn? Can you come over to cook? Can you bring your sister and cousin to shop for school supplies? The list goes on and on and on... Thank god for such wonderful parents, I am so blessed.
Besides not being needy, my parents made almost everything possible for me. I remember being in college, seeing fellow students working 2-3 jobs to get themselves through school. Me? I got it good... tuition fees, dorm, books, and sometimes even holiday trips was paid for so that I could focus on study.
Yes at times, I couldn't understand why they do certain things certain ways... Yes at times, we were in conflict, and there were misunderstandings. I found out, no matter what, my parents always have my best interest. Thank you papa! Thank you mama!
Oh more on my mama, it always put a smile on my face thinking about what she did for me while I was in school at home. On those "wonderful" exam days that we get in secondary school, my mama never fails driving me to school, she has this calming effect on me, she tells me I will do just fine, she made sure I had something good to eat before and after exam. :) Even when I got to local college, she continued doing that for me. SO, the first time I had exam in Hawaii. You could guess what happened. I actually cried a little thinking mama is not here to drive me to school, mama is not here to make me good food, mama is not here to tell me I would do fine... I told myself, you gotta make it on your own now because mama cannot always be by my side to do all that.
Peeps, don't worry, I am pretty independent now. hehehe!

Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy
This is scary. I finally have to admit------ shopping for clothes is therapeutic!!! That means I better make loads of dough very soon. For the past five six years, shopping is just somethin I do during down time or rarely, "I shop because I need". Definitely NOT for therapeutic reasons. Remember back in Hawaii, I would hop on city buses to get to Ala Moana shopping mall after classes or during the weekends, it is like my second home. After years of "training" I could walk around the mall with my eyes closed. Really.
Since eating a pound of chocolate when I'm down does not do the trick anymore, I know I'm in deep doodoo. I would have to go shopping to get the aahhhh...... effect, you know what I mean? But please don't get me wrong. The financial situation I'm in now doesn't permit me to shop every other day or every week or even every month. So, I've came up with a solution, yesterday. Whenever I have the urge to go shopping, I would get my phone and my keys (without my wallet), put on my walking shoes, and go walking instead. How does that sounds?
