I finally got my blog a new look that I've been dreaming of. (A better dream comes true would be a 3-column-design, but this lovely 2-column-one is as wonderful!)

Thanks to V4NY who made it happen by posting beautiful templates on her site and let the viewers download the one they like.

Hope she's ok with my little changes here and there.

Thanks again, V4NY!

Lately, I've been complaining a lot about a lot of things in my life. That makes my life seem terribly miserable. Lack of this and lack of that.

But then, my mom told me her story when visiting a relative with a very sad condition of life. And, this afternoon I met someone who also shared her sad story.

Zap! Suddenly I felt so ashamed of myself.

How could I complain so much while there are dozens of people out there who can't even know what to eat today?

Actually, I've been blaming it on my hormones. I've been taking birth control pills. And, my feeling miserable, I thought, was hormonal, caused by the pills.

But then, now, I realized. It's not always about the pills. It's also about me. I'm just not thankful enough!

And, I'm ashamed.

And, I made a promise. To be a better person.

Life is NEVER easy. But, it's your thought that can make it simpler.

When I do my job, I put the music on. I get my earphone readily stuck on my ears. I try not to think about other things but the job and the joy it brings.

Yeah, thankfully, my job is something I like doing inspite of it's complication. So, everyday (most of the days, to be exact!) I go to the office with certain excitement that I'll get myself drowned in the center of a busy hectic yet enjoyable life.

Things I couldn't have back when I worked for the previous 2 companies. Well, the 1st one was a lot better than the 2nd one, but this 3rd one is simply the best, in terms of the jobdescs, location, surroundings.

Not that I don't enjoy being at home with my daughter and hubby and other family, but, everyone must need a getaway. Everyone needs sometime alone. And, I'm just lucky to have that everyday. I'm just lucky tobe able to feel alone although there are other 5 persons in the office.

Actually, I'd love to be a S-A-H-M or a W-A-H-M. I think one day I will. Or, actually, I've been telling myself that I have to. That would be a dream come true.

Yet, I think, I'll prepare a space at home for me to 'work' or simply to 'contemplate'.

Are you a working mom, too? Please share...

I really can't stand watching all the disaster made of war.

And reading the words told by the children, the war victim...I got even more hurt.

Oh...

Since July, I've been reading this good book about Hello Kitty and Sanrio business. It's obviously a non-fiction book. I borrowed it from my boss who happens to have tons of good books placed in the office.

So, everytime I had spare time (read=time when my baby and hubby sleeps and I'm not in front of my laptop), I took the book and read it. The content is very interesting. It gives me tons of knowledge about the cutie trend and culture in Japan. And, how the business was build. And, the ups and downs of this Japanese business in US.

But...it's been a month and I haven't finished the book! That's actually not so surprising since I almost always need centuries to finish a non-fiction book.

Last week end I finished and in just 2 days! Both books are fictions.

My reading speed to non-fiction and fiction seem to be different. A lot different, apparently.

I think that what makes me kinda decide not to get my master degree. I don't like reading text book. I think, one day, I'll just take a writing course. The 3 or 6 months one. Wondering if there's any scholarship on that one. 'Coz I don't think I can afford it. I'd like to have it abroad.

BTW, I've been editing my novel, the one I took back from the publisher. Thanks to those books above, I got back my spirit.

I also have been writing a kids novel. :D

If any of you would like to take a look at some of my short stories, please feel free to visit http://myfictionstories.blogspot.com and let me know what you think.

Have a nice MONDAY!

Current Weight	... lbs.
Target Weight	120 lbs.
Current BMI	....
Target BMI	22.7

Your current weight is higher than the scientifically established norms. This corresponds to a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ..... You should weigh no more than 132 pounds.

Your target weight is 120 pounds. Since your current weight is above the norms, it is advisable to lose some weight. Once you reach 120 pounds, your new BMI will be 22.7 and you will be within the normal weight range.

It's like you're on a roller coaster. The Ups and Downs can make some of you throw up or at least feel dizzy. But some others felt it as fun!

Me? I'm just not in the mood for a roller coaster. I'd prefer sitting on a bench beside the roller coaster area and watching people screaming out loud while experiencing ups and downs in the roller coaster.

But, you know, I don't live by myself...there's someone that takes me by the hand and makes me get into the roller coaster.

So, here I am...experiencing the ups and downs, no, I don't throw up--yet--but I have these constant headaches because the roller coaster refused to halt.

Glad that I have this lovely yet determined little girl...as long as she's there, I can stand almost anything.

Love you so much, BabyHana...
