Looks like we’re having a girl!

The doctor won’t say it’s 100% sure, but she thinks we’re having a girl.  I once dreamt about this too. 
Like I said, I change my mind on the baby names almost every month.  Much as I love the meaning behind the two names Naima Isabel, something tells me it sounds just a bit too exotic.
For this month (haha), I’m seriously considering [...]

This time last year…

Around this time last year, my dad and Alfred had THE talk.  I still get teary eyed when I remember it. 
Daddy:    Alfred, I just have one request.  Actually hindi sya request.  It’s more of an instruction.  Kung ayaw mo na kay Tracy, pwede mo syang isoli anytime, no questions asked.  Wag mo lang syang [...]

Goals for 2008

Last year, I wrote my goals on paper and I swear I got them all. Let’s see if writing my goals on a blog will work just the same.

House — Getting there.  Construction has officially started.

New Sport — more like, have one naman.
How-come-I-never-thought-of-that business idea
At least one domestic trip

Strawberry Centerpieces

My cousin just booked a very interesting supplier for her wedding – Strawberry Dreams. They will provide chocolate-coated strawberries, which will double as nibblers and table centerpieces. I can imagine them to be a conversation starter.

I’m not crazy about this particular arrangement, but I’m sure they will make some adjustments. My cousin [...]

When passion becomes obligation

I had a chat with our Creative Directory who, apparently, is also getting bored out of his mind. He said that CG is really his passion, but since the money he gets out of it is almost insulting, he, like most of us, is left with no choice but to stay where we are.
While [...]

I Crave Your Mouth, Your Voice, Your Hair

I Crave Your Mouth, Your Voice, Your Hair
Pablo Neruda
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale [...]

Videoke Night

I worked from home for a little over a year.  I am now with Lakeside Technologies and I cannot emphasize enough how much I missed having officemates to sing, drink and party with. 
The girls who introduced me to Artic Strawberry

 Yey! Officemates!

What do you know for sure?

What do you know for sure?
This is a classic Oprah question. It seems very simple but I had a really hard time answering it.
What I know for sure is that every little thing that we wish for, every event, every experience happens in God’s time. Timing is everything, as my friends and I always say, [...]
