Most of you know that I’ve been working from home for the past 4 years or so. Those of you who don’t know, well, I’ve been working from home for the past 4 years or so. :-P

Working from home may sound like a nice thing to do. You work according to your own schedule, be your own boss and there’s no stopping you from wearing only your PJs during work. Yes, that’s the perk of working from home. Oh not only that, you also get to eat and drink and listen to loud music (probably watch the MTV at the same time too) while working. Fun ya?

Well the fun ain’t there after years of doing it. Alone. Trust me. The only people you communicate with are those on your IMs, the fiance who called to ask what you had for lunch and sometimes a few nosy good friends who wanted to update you with the latest gossip get an update of you.

That said, to tell you the truth, I’ve been looking for a job that would require me to go out and meet actual people. Because I am THAT bored. And praise the good Lord for it, I got a job yesterday!!! It’s actually a part time job (which is good, because I still get to spend some time with my freelance job at home too) which requires me to come to the office 3 days a week.

With the extra money that I’ll earn, looks like my Siberian Husky Fund will be filled up in no time! Probably have extra for HDTV as well! And new laptop. And new dress. And..and..and..

“Love, I don’t like peeling onions. They make my fingers stink and they stay for like ages!”

“Oh, that’s not a big problem, baby,” he said. “I can do that.”

“I’m also not a very good cook.”

“But I am,” he informed me. “In fact, I have a better plan. Why don’t I cook and you prepare the rest, except for the onions part.”

“Deal!”

[1 Year later]

He came back from work.

“Is everything ready?”

“Yes, the chicken are cubed. The veggies are ready. Rice is cooking in the pot.”

“..where are the onions?”

SIGH “Didn’t we agree that you’ll be doing that part?” I lamented, shaking my head.

“Those are easy job, you see..”

Our conversation goes the same almost everyday. It’s always the onion and garlic and ginger part. But of course, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me. Only he forgets sometime. Men. Even if you ask them to sign a private placement memorandum, they wouldn’t know what the thing is for. lol

PS: I still love you, Jaya, no matter how forgetful you are! :-P

I know that it is important to get enough sleep. Research proves that people who do not get enough sleep at night are drowsy during the day and are more likely to fall asleep at the traffic lights or when doing romantic things like watching the movie with their loved ones. (Ahem!) And let’s not forget the grumpiness and mood swings that comes with it.

So I was saying, sleeping is important and this point was reinforced on me today. I was out with my girl friend last night that by the time I was home, my fiancé was already sound asleep and the clock was pointing at 3AM. My fiancé woke up and we chatted (because I went out before he got back home and the last time I saw him was in the morning before he left for work and because I miss him! duh!) till 5AM. By the time we doze off, it was close to 6. Poor guy got up at 9AM and was late for work 9 minutes.

As I was saying once again, sleep is important. I couldn’t get out of bed till 1PM today. By the time I turn my notebook on to work on my assignments and web design work, I couldn’t concentrate. I couldn’t even spell ‘image’ let alone ‘extenze‘.

*deep sigh*

It’s almost 6PM now and I still couldn’t concentrate on my work. Maybe I’ll put this off till tomorrow. I don’t want to sacrifice my passion for perfection in doing my job so I guess tomorrow will be the best time to continue. And ohhh would you look at the clock. It’s ticking without pausing. Fiancé’s coming home soon and I gotta prepare the vegetables and meat for him to cook.

By the way, people. He’s the chef. I’m the assistant. We’ve made that pact since the first day we were together. lol

I’m trying to go on a half-day diet today. So far I just had one piece of bread for lunch (and since lunch!). Feeling quite hungry already but I had to wait till dinner.

Must tahan!

Must tahan!

Must tahan!

It’s for your own good, Cindy! Not only for the purpose of losing weight, it also works as a colon cleanser.

You can do it!

(this post is definitely meant for myself only. :-P)
