This 3rd published short story is the 1st one for this year. After 2 stories last year, finally I get the courtesy to have another one this year. So happy and thankful.
With all my being busy with the job and my baby, I thought this year would be a quiet one for my writing carier. Apparently it is not. I have been reading the magazine (which used to be a tabloid) for quite some time. The length of the stories are limited. In the tabloid form it was only 1 page. So, approximately maximum 3 pages of A4 paper. And I wrote a story specifically for the tabloid/magazine. I sent it by e-mail. Checked it with the secretary of editor and she told me to just wait. And in Fira' journal in Multiply, I mentioned that I had sent a story. She said she would check it out. She did and she thought the story was too long. And I edited and shortened it.
Et voila! Fira said, I would get my story published in the magazine by July-August. And I waited and waited and yes...it was there in the magazine. Thanks, Fira, for the support.
Now I will just write...write...and...write...til finally I could call my sef A WRITER!
;D

Last 2 years, in August, I got married and it was such a big change for me, especially on the sleeping arrangement...hahaha...I, who used to sleep alone in a small size bed, had to share a queen size one with my love.
And this month, another big change is awaiting, two actually. I am going to start working for another company, change a job, I meant. Also, am going to move back to my grandma's place. Two big decisions! Ok, the move back in will start next month, September, actually but we are comencing to do the process.
So, here I am, excited about the changes. Hoping things will be better.

22 August 2003 --> wedding day
22 August 2005 --> starting a new job
22 August 2007 --> what? delivery 2nd baby...hahaha...better to wait til 2008!

It was not easy at all. I never thought I would do that since I also never thought that I had the courage to. But yes, it was made. All the risks, all the possibilities, I will try to face it.
It's about me changing my life. The decision made me take another big one. It seems like everybody is happy. I think I am too.
I just hope that it will turn out to be great. Both decisions.
