Multi-Tasking

One of the many interesting things I discovered about my husband is that he is incapable of doing so many things at a time. That is why this reminds me of him, as well as an article at Zen Habits that says life would be less-stressful if we focus on one task and move on to the next once it’s done instead of them them all at once.

I am one multi-tasker and I get things done. However, it seemed that the author of Zen Habits is right. Multi-tasking indeed is stressful. However, it’s a necessity, if you ask me. Especially when time and energy are scarce.

Two days ago, a general assembly of all employees, administrators and faculty members was organized. While listening to the invited insurance marketing personnel, I was also busy contacting student leaders who will be helping us with today’s activity. Aside from that, I was also trying to come up with communication for some faculty advisers while keeping in touch with my husband who brought our daughter to her pediatrician. It is crazy, I know! But I think I am good at it and it gets things done!

A Secret

One major hurdle. Just one more  and I can finally have my much-deserved break (in a nice place like a mexico hotel perhaps? In my dreams maybe. Haha!). Of course, there are few minor hurdles I have to face but this major one is really nerve-wracking! But I am keeping my fingers crossed. I will prepare and do my best and pray for God’s grace. I can’t divulge what it’s all about yet. Let’s see what happens and I will let you know what the big secret is all about. ;)

Busy, Busy Day!

Good morning! It’s so early and yet I am already up. We had a very hectic and busy day yesterday that I all I wanted to do upon arriving home was to sleep. We prepared for our annual Christmas reach out which will happen today. And today is another busy day because aside from the reach out, I am also going to attend my second Christmas party for the year. (There’s more lined up so no one can convince me to buy diet pills even if they are the best diet pills in town!) It will be a small get-together with my closest friends at work.  We are having an exchange of gifts and I still need to find a gift for my *baby*. That I will do this afternoon, just some hours before our party. Yikes. Wish me luck! But I look forward to this gathering and I love the people we are going to hold this party with. Hopefully, we can do it again next year!

Serious First Name

You Have a Serious First Name

Compared to most people, you are very thoughtful, quiet, and studious. You enjoy your own thoughts and reflections. You seek peace in your life, and often the greatest calm comes with solitude. There are many activities you enjoy on your own. You enjoy reading, writing, and teaching. It's possible you even dabble in the arts, but nothing that requires performing. You find that when you socialize you tend to go overboard, so you need lots of alone time to keep you stable.

What Kind of First Name Do You Have?

Blogthings: Waste Time at Work!

Is my name “serious”? Haha! But I like what the second paragraph stated. I do enjoy reading and writing (teaching is another thing). And I also like arts, performing not included.

Our First Christmas Party for 2009

We had our first Christmas party of the year – our office’s (and sector’s) party and it was sponsored by my generous and kind-hearted boss. We also invited some colleagues who are good friends of ours and their presence surely made the night complete. There were lots of food and singing! Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to prepare gifts but one of our school nurses and our office secretary were. I received a Personalized Jewelry and a CD of Christmas songs. Yay! Hopefully, we can shop for gifts this weekend and be able to hand them to people before leaving for Manila. We went home happy and full around 9 PM last night.  DH forgot to bring our camera so I have to rely on our guests for the photos. I will share them once they post them on Facebook.

On another note, another party is coming up this weekend. Busy, busy weekend indeed! And it will be with my closest friends at work. We still have to finalize the details though. And I will make sure that no one forgets to bring the camera!
