Perfectly Imperfect

mamyaw — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 07:25:38 +0000

It’s been exactly 39 days since I quit my first ever full-time paying job at a call center. I’ve now been living my former lifestyle as a full-time stay-at-home-slacker-gamer-wife-mom. From what I’ve experienced, going back to my old job is not as easy as I first thought.

For one, my kids are no longer the kids that I used to know; they’re smarter than before, and they learned a handful of new skills (I’ve only worked out of the house … Read the rest

Thoughts on Ohio Rape Verdict Aftermath

Yesterday, I was just surfing the web, trying to adjust to the old life I left four months ago. There were a lot of funny things I read and saw, also a lot of “aww…” stuff as I would call them. There was also this one thing that made my head hurt a bit. It was about the petition being sign by thousands, if not millions of people in America right now. It is about the petition for for the … Read the rest

Me ish back!… (sort of…)

I can’t quite believe that the last entry I made before this is back in October. A lot has happened since then. Notably, the world did not end, obviously, and now I have a job! Yay!

I never thought that a slacker could ever be able to hold down a job for almost four months. The fact that I did, or am, somehow makes me believe that it can be done. But I have to throw in the towel, and … Read the rest

Living a Semi-Charmed Life

As far back as I can remember, I have been lucky in life. I once got lost in the labyrinth that is Moriones, Tondo. I was about 2 or 3, thereabouts, and all I have for a companion is another child with Downs Syndrome. We wandered about for the better part of the day, and I could never remember how I got home safe and sound. Since then, somehow, I managed to get all the things that I wanted in … Read the rest

Don’t…

So, anyway, I’m attempting to write…again. Mostly, all I got are flash fictions, but what the heck. Enjoy if you would. XD Leave a comment, or whatever. XD

“Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?”

The box just sat there like a silent accusation. The bozo who left it in the passenger seat was long gone in the labyrinth of cars in the parking lot. Kat took a long drag from her electronic cigarette, willing Connie to hurry up … Read the rest

A Lesson in Relativity

mamyaw — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:23:52 +0000

Last night, our whole family were in the mall for one of weekly family night out. We were there at 4.30pm, and we got home at around 8.45. When Leejay and I realized this, our minds were practically blown. We were in the mall for four hours at least! Even more incredible, no tantrum sessions!

It’s a sort of liberating feeling to finally enjoy a day out to stroll with your kids without having to fight, console, arbiter between, cajole, … Read the rest
