recognition of prior learning

the first step of skilled migration in australia is to have your skills recognized by their governing body.  since im an sap-abap developer, i should apply for it in ACS.  i started my application last month and after a lot of revision requests from them, they now want me to go thru rpl!  rpl or recognition of prior learning they say is a document that you have to provide stating what you have learned from your working experience that is within the key areas of knowledge.  it is supposed to be the route for those tertiary education that is not related to their work experience.  i dont get it because im a comp sci graduate and im working as a developer! argh!!! i so hate ACS right now.

it has been my routine every morning since my son started school here to drop him to school before going work. i usually sit with him on the waiting area while we wait for the bell to ring. while waiting, i usually encouraged him to play with the other kids. i will also tell him that i should just drop him off the gate and he should be independent. today after 2 weeks, when we are nearing the gate of his school, he told me that its time for me to go. he said he can go on his own. i asked him if he was sure, he nodded and kissed me goodbye. i watched him and felt proud and sad at the same time.

my husband is not my friend in facebook

a new friend blatantly asked me if my husband has a facebook account.  it is a normal question but i was hesitant to answer it because i know what the next question would be.  but just to clear things out, yes he has a facebook account and we are not friends because i have un-friend him.  well, our marriage is in a rocky road right now.  its not something i hide but its also not something im proud of.  plus i know that talking about it openly will just make it more complicated.  i dont wanna say things and in the end eat them. all i know right now is im not settling for less than i think what i deserve.  i always believed in love and i know that love will always be my friend.

andi eigenmann is pregnant

andi eigenmann is pregnant. jaclyn jose, her mother confirmed it on tv patrol.  jaclyn said the father was andi's first boyfriend and he left her when he learned that andi is pregnant.  news says that off cam, jaclyn confirmed that albie casino is the real father.

both are very young and at their promising years.  i really think andi is one of the prettiest face in showbiz nowadays.  she could have done and choose better.

years ago, this would just struck me as another juicy showbiz news. but truly, motherhood will change how the way you look at things.  this really got me to thinking on how will i raise my kids so that they will make the right choices when the time comes. as parents, we can only do so much but as a mother, i wish i can do everything for them.

i know that its still too early for me to worry, but if it was me, i think i would constantly remind them of the consequences of their actions.  i would even scare them how life is going to be difficult.  but more importantly i would make sure that they would feel how much i love them.

if only i could be that kind of mom!  because right now, i cant even get them to sleep early.

as good as it gets

sabi nila you cant have the best of both worlds.  pero  that's what i want and i will pray for it!  is that wrong?  i want a successful career and the best love and family life!  lord, please give me that! i am willing to wait.  and while waiting i will be thankful with all the wonderful blessings that i have right now.

its complicated

on the outside, everything seems to be perfectly all right. a family settling down where the grass is much greener. but, it is really more than that. my hubby and i, are both in a complicated relationship. yes we are together but we are not really together. we are almost going to the direction of annulment but we decided to try to make it work. part of me wishes for it to work but part of me is saying to stop wasting time. well maybe for the kids sake, even something as expensive as time is worth buying.

we are not fighting but we are not happy either, at least i am not. i don't know if he is. i have already given up on talking and like most men, he rarely talks about his emotions. he is a perfect father to my kids but i really think that you have to be a husband first for a family to work. oh well, i think we really need an intervention. may god bless us.
