Hooray for Summer

as i plunged back into the corporate world after 2 months of blissful maternity leave, i was sucked once again into the rat race void. not that i didn’t like it. on one end, it felt completely good being ‘needed’ in a different kind of world, another dimension.

being a mom (and wife) is different from being an employee, but the satisfaction was more or less the same. only that, being a mom is imposed, while being an employee is a choice.both gives me entire satisfaction in a different kind of way but both are joyful. at the end of the day, it’s what i accomplished with excellence that mattered. quality over quantity.

i am also learning from My Rich Dad. i’ve subscribed to the Rich Dad newsletter to learn more about financial matters. i’m trying very hard to follow the coachings of Rich Dad. little by little, day by day, my goal to improve my financial intelligence is growing. i am so much of a neophyte just yet, but i am very much willing to learn and to improve my life and my finances.

we also had the Christening of our sweet Baby Boo, Noe Kahlil. it was a much celebrated event with the whole family. and more than the celebration, it was a day of thanksgiving. God has gifted us with a most precious little Boo we love so much. though not everyone attended (most ninangs were absent), but it was an event that is cherished forever.

what is summer without swimming? the day after the christening, the family had fun dipping at the nearby pool. it was super dooper fun! perfectly cool activity for the whole bunch.

though there were fun moments, there were also unavoidable gloomy instances that was part and parcel of the circle of life. Tatay was brought to the hospital due to pneumonia. and then, there were misunderstandings in the family because of my nephew who pricked some family relationships really bad.

i believe that as summer is hot, so are these kinds of diverse emotions and i acknowledge them fairly. there were times of celebration as there were times of dejection. but even that was unavoidable and part of life. there is a bigger picture, much, much bigger than ourselves. 

bottomline, summer is supposed to be lived with zest, for who knows if we will still be able to go through another summer in our lives…?

so, hooray for summer!

and CARPE DIEM!
