Coming from the MBAPs party, we were supposed to go to two more dinners. One with a relative celebrating that passed the nursing board exams, while the other with friends one of whom is celebrating his birthday.

But just after our first commitment, the streets have flooded. No car can pass through and people have been stranded. Some business has closed down early, well except for fastfoods. I wonder if flood is covered by business insurance.

Anyway, we just head off for some coffee and tea. My daughter had an oreo cheese tart which made her so active and funny. I think I won’t let her eat that again beyond 6pm. Ok, noted!

MBAPs party

It was raining cats and dogs yesterday I was surprised that most of the MBAPs made it to the party. I thought everybody will be stranded somewhere along the way. Good thing though, we didn’t, or we would have missed the fun get-together with these ladies. But at the back of my mind I was thinking hard if I was able to tell the help to put the motorcycle covers over the bike. I just had to call home just to make sure.

Anyway, I really had fun meeting up with these ladies again.

I just noticed one thing though. I don’t have much pictures of myself!!!
Calling Alpha, Kelly and Joy! Ahem! :p

cyber success

I have a guy friend who co-owns a shoe store in the provinces. I must say he is quite successful. I asked him why not have a branch in the metro. He said they have done more than that. They now have an online store that ships to anywhere in the world! It may look easy to put up an online store that you’d think you could do it on your own. When in fact, he said they owe their online store’s success to an ecommerce fulfillment program they have invested on.

Well, for a non-business person like me, I always thought those online stores were so easy to put up without knowing you really need experts to succeed. Now I know better.

This weekend is so unpredictable. Hahaha.

First, husband and his team mates will have an outing. Husband says if they will stay overnight, he can’t bring me and BG along. But if it is just a day trip, my daughter and I could come. So there, that’s one possibility.

Second, if it is indeed an overnight thing, BG and I will attend a swimming party instead. It is a birthday celebration of her cousin, a daughter of hubby’s cousin. Although we’re not sure how we will get there.

Third, a mexican night with friends. This one I think BG and I will surely attend. Unless my daughter gets too tired from swimming or from being out with daddy and mommy the whole day (possibilities 1 & 2)

I sure hope even just one of these three gets realized.

fickle minded as always

Wow, my first post for the year.

Anyway, remember the ranting that I did last week (uhm, last year)? About wanting to go back to embedded systems engineering. That same day, I met with friends for coffee. They were my former officemates from Fujitsu. Unlike me, after resigning, they continued on embedded systems specializing in automotives. (Note: we used to do firmware for car audio-visual systems)

Two of them are working in Japan while one in Singapore. They were telling me about the global recession and how it has affected the stability of their jobs. You probably heard about GM. It’s as simple as if no car is sold, who needs a car radio (doesn’t matter much if you can plug in your i-pod or your thumb drive on it)?

So yes, it got me thinking, I love and need my current job.

The other friend who came an hour late isn’t in this picture.
