Life's Bitter Sweet

As you can see, i am back blogging again, *yipee*... Trying very hard to get back despite the berserk schedule between family, day job, and part-time photography on the side.

You would think that because there is no more baby in house, your schedule will have enough slack to squeeze in different activities and the like... but no, i think it becomes more rigid in the sense that they will be in school with required academic-work/volunteering/tutoring hustle and bustle type action. I would say it is more physically and time driven as compared to changing diaper, feeding, and baby developmental play for about 30mins... because we know they will passed out for their nap few times in the day --- that means 'free time' kind of, to do or finish house chores or better yet run errands for that long list of grocery stuck in your fridge.

Yes, I need better time management. Crazy you may think i got them figured out being a mother of 2 girls + working for awhile, but hard to admit i am not even close to being organized. I sometimes close my eyes coming home from work so as not to visualize the clutter in every corner of the house, thus preventing that build up mental pressure... Though the biggest lesson learn with my current lifestyle --- patience and perseverance. Life has taught me to learn to endure life's daily 'stressor'... I have to or else I myself will develop the so called 'mental imbalance' if i won't let go and continue to be harsh on myself. I truly believe we have to loosen a bit and enjoy the positive beauties that surrounds us --- life is too short to pass it along, do we all agree?

Photos above taken from my Ate L's 8th birthday in Big Bear Lake couple of weeks ago... quiet and short yet paramount because we know that we tried to spend quality time with the girls in the middle of our frenzied schedule. Very cold high up in the mountain yet our hearts were warm and cozy with fondness and appreciation for the bout spend as what we call 'family'.
