 I know this post is a little bit late...but i didn't want to let January finish without laying down my plans for 2006.

There are a couple of things that pop straight out when I think of what I want to do or happen in 2006, first and most important is HAVING A BABY!! I definitely want to have a baby this year!

All the people around me and my husband are joining forces to pressure us to already have a baby. As if we are planning to not having!! Of course we trying to have a baby for pete's sake! But for some reason i don't know what it's just not happening!!

Second of course is in support of my husband's new venture, on photography. I have always loved to take pictures in the past...and have heard of compliments too about them, but I really have not thought of going full time with it. But now since my husband has plunged into it, I think it's just fair that I try to learn a few tricks of the trade so I can join him in his new found love. I'm giving myself this full year to learn, learn, learn and learn so that i can hopefully join him next year! I am somehow already starting...by opening my new blog, i'm forced to take one picture a day. I am hoping with this I can develop my artistic eye so that eventually I can apply it to professional photography.

Thirdly, I want to try and focus more of my time and energy to my work this year, last year, I have somehow been a little bit lax with work partly because of my preparations for the wedding. Not that I wasn't able to deliver on expectations, its just that I just delivered expectations. I didn't add anything more, in short I did not shine this year, which is bad I think because I was new to the job and had all the chances of being noticed by the big bosses. Now I realize that, that's why i say that this year, that will change, I want to be more aggressive and more hardworking. I want this to be my banner year at work!

Fourth, I want to improve on my digiscrapping skills too. This is one hobby that really gives me a lot of happiness and it really keeps me levelled off as far as stress is concerned. I will practice more, especially now that i'd have more pictures from me and my husband's photos.

Hmm I guess, this are really the major things I want to do this year, aside from trying to cook more and trying to do some gardening more. I'm hoping I'm not putting so much on my plate...but I know I can do it!

My theme song this year is...I believe I can fly!

 Can i just rant about our neighbor!! I woke up 5am today, tried to go back to sleep but I just couldn't. So I logged on and just doodled with my new photoblog, anyways, around 7:30, i heard my mom shouting, screaming her tonsils out! I went down to see whats wrong...

Apparently, our neighbor, who is having an event today (christening i think), made a big mess in front of our house. We were having problems with this neighbor because of their "cleanliness" problem and this incident just blew her away! Her temper was waaay out over the top so I went and talked to this neighbor...but after that i wished i didn't! I mean talk about close mindedness and stuborness!! Grrr!! I usually maintain a cool attitude towards them but this time I was waaay out of my temper!! Grrr!! And to think its Sunday morning and I am preparing for church! Grrrr!!!

 Was browsing through the The Top 100 Bloggers Site when i found this blog: Paris Daily Photo. Waht a great site!! I love the daily pictures...plus this blog has links to similar blogs who does daily photos of the writer's own city! I love it!! Such a great idea!

You know what I'm thinking right? hehehe...i'll start a photoblog of Manila too! Well maybe not daily as of yet, as i'm stuck in Makati five days a week! But hopefully I can start a weekly photo, and then see if I can make it daily! Oohhh i hope I can!

Here's the link...

 i'm down with a flu today...not feeling very well. I feel soo dry all over...my nose runny, my head aching like crazy. I was planning to scrap today but my creativity (if i had any) is just not in sync today. Maybe tomorrow..i hope. I want to eat but my appetite is also down (i think this is the only good thing i get out of this whole sickness experience)!

I have not been sick for a long time...i don't know what or who got me sick this time. I came back from our Batangas trip last friday feeling sick already, but i shooed this away and still went out yesterday with Gel, maybe i shouldn't have and just stayed home to rest. But i didn't want to disappoint him as he was really looking forward to the trip the whole week.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow but i have an important meeting in the morning i have to attend. Maybe i'd take a half day leave and try to rest again in the afternoon. Agghh! Have so many things to do in the office!

Ok i'm blabbering...have to stop typing now...gotta rest...

Ciao!

 2005 is gone, 2006 has just started. I am now back in the office, browsing through e-mails of all sorts, some work, some greetings, some photography related. Back to the "ordinary days" they say. But before I plunge deep into 2006, I can't help but look back to 2005. I know this is cliche but I can't help it.

Looking back, there is just so much that happened this year, many wonderful things, but also some not very good things. Things I'd definitely look back years after and get goosebumps. There are also things I'd rather forget. Whatever those moments are I know that these moments helped define my life in 2005 and my life many years forward.

In 2005, Gel and I got married. After nine years of being together, we finally got hitched! We were hitched at San Agustin Church, September 17, 2005 4:00pm. That day I married my best friend. Everything is still fresh in my mind, all the laughters, the tears, the joy, the ecstasy, who will ever forget their own marriage.

This year I transferred jobs. A job I feel more fulfilling, more involving, but also more demanding and challenging. But over-all I am happy with the change, exactly what I need and want. Gel also made a very important decision to change careers. We just recently launched his new biz, Gel Motilla Digital Photography, to fulfil his long time dream and passion. We are both very happy with his decision! His eyes are now twinkling like a kid whenever we are talking about it! I know he wants this for such a long time and I'm happy that now he is now turning this into reality. I can see his determination and I know he will succeed! I am now his part time secretary, can you belive! I'm taking calls, answering e-mails and updating his calendar...I didn't know how tiring it was to be a secretary before this but I'm happy to be able to help my husband dear!

This year I also took up a new hobby...digiscrapping! Hehe. Got it actually from Tin. I didn't know it is so much fun! I love how it makes me relax...and as an added bonus...I get to create something extraordinarily unique! I love it!!

Now to summarize, here is a layout I made:



And before the year ends another hobby pops my list...photography...of course because of my husband. Who knows maybe after a few years I wouldn't be just his secretary but his partner!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!
