Busy Sunday

April 26, 2009

Sunday’s almost over and I haven’t written a post for today! One day off (yesterday) meant a lot of work (the real deal and blog-related work) for me when I came back to office today. I’ve got 15 minutes before the office closes so here goes. Calling the winner of the Eenamaria handbag giveawaywinner! Libby/Neas [...]

What would you do if you wake up at 3am?

April 16, 2009

the internet, my sister, blogging

April 2, 2009

So I survived zero internet connection for the whole day yesterday. It was a big deal for me because I am a net junkie but coincidentally, some random paper work landed on my desk yesterday which I tackled until 4 pm. Poor time management! I should have stretched it to finish at 6 pm so [...]

Valentine Scrooge

February 14, 2009

I can’t believe I am turning into a Valentine Scrooge. I don’t have any plans on Valentine’s day except help my kindergarten daughter make heart cards for school.
