{Almost} All set for Cebu

Written by Mitchteryosa on November 26, 2011 – 11:28 AM

It has been a long week for Gayle and I. We spent 4 days in Quezon City, arrived Subic on Thursday morning and from there we went straight to the office to work again until 6pm.

It’s fulfilling though! Despite feeling exhausted, we get to do the things we require before heading head to Cebu next Wednesday:

  • Rooming List. Check.
  • Flight itineraries. Check.
  • Hotel rooms. Check.
  • Follow-ups. Done.

Menus are yet to be decided and some more POs to be followed up but at least things are done and set for Cebu! Here we come Bluewater Maribago!

Working Mom’s Guilt

Written by Mitchteryosa on October 9, 2011 – 2:11 PM

I work all day, at times overtime too! I travel, and sometimes do not sleep in the house for a week. Part of the job, so what can I do. When I come home at 7pm, I immediately cook for the household, most of the time still with my office clothes on. Play a little with the kids before they doze off to sleep.

This routine repeats for 5 days, and if we are lucky enough, come Saturday of each week, I take them out forĀ  a treat. That’s how I put my guilt in its proper place.I give time, not just time but attention to my kids. I be like a kid, if needed. I play with them and do the things that will make them happy and excited. These moment are also maximized when the nanny goes on her day off. I am left alone with the girls and attend to them as if there is no one else around them. I bathe them, I change my bunso’s soiled diaper, I prepare something special for breakfast. Read more »

Always on the go

Written by Mitchteryosa on August 29, 2011 – 11:34 PM

Guilty your honor for not updating this blog. Been busy in the past weeks that I had almost forgotten about my online tasks.

Mid week of August, I got busy preparing for the 2nd Distributors Business Conference that we hosted, then the next week after was the AgriMach exhibit arranged by PHilMech and the Department of Agriculture happened in Nueva Ecija. The days left on that week were spent projecting a budget for the upcoming AgriMach in Iloilo and Marbel and some pending jobs I’ve left during the Business Conference. That reminds me that I still have to make two Newsletters.

I’m so glad I’m having a little break this week. Yup, we’re off to Gen San to attend to my sister in law’s wedding. Oooops! Read more »
