2009 na..

its been a long time since i've posted. a really long time.

i suppose i find it easier to share my thoughts and dreams when everything seems to be what i want them to be, harder when i am in a place and i'm not even sure i want. how i got here, i suppose i took a turn somewhere, made that life-changing decision and didn't realize it.

as a quick update, i am still an OFW. Have been for the past 3.5 years. Married, and with twin boys.

turning 30 in less than a month. wow. a milestone. i have hoped for so much by the time i was 30. i accomplished stuff that wasn't on my list, and stuff on my list are still on the list...

i have a lot of whys. why do people blog. why do some people like everything designer. why am i here. why do certain things happen. i was listening to the radio early this morning and a caller was telling the radio host to stop overanalyzing stop, open his heart, view whatever his situation is from a 3rd person perspective and have a positive outlook. can people really just do that? i admit that for certain situations where i feel frustrated and can't really do anything about, i would try to do that just to get away from it. but it always haunts me back, because i don't agree with it in principle in first place.

admittedly, this post is disorganized. i have a lot going on, and like its been said, its been awhile and this blog seems to need some catching up.

lets just deal with my day today. i am in a country, where you already sign up your unborn or newly born child to a pediatrician, a nursery/daycare, kindergarten and primary school so that you can be put on a waitlist. i've heard most people, particularly the locals saying that the public school is crap, except for 1 or 2. and that they wouldn't send their child, if they have one, there. and then i asked about the cost of a private primary school (grade 1). its $16,000++ not including the after school program (schools finish at 230 and we have to work until at least 5. kids have to be somewhere, right?). this does not include any summer camp, easter break camp, or december holiday camp. i mean seriously. working as an expat with no family, it is a constant challenge to make sure your kid is elsewhere whenever you have work and their nursery is closed. and can you imagine paying twice the amount for having twins??????

it all went downhill after that. i couldn't even bring myself to order dessert, buy a chocolate bar or a cup of coffee.

another nagging thought in my mind, should i consider a divorce?

oh its 2009. my 1st resolution was to be POSITIVE and LESS CRITICAL of OTHERS. 2nd would be to activate this blog.. now how am i being positive when i occasionally think about divorce???
