I guess I'm not the best at this blogging deal. I simply haven't had any time or energy to sit in front of my computer and write. However I have had the desire to do it, I just need motivation I guess.

I've been feeling very down-ish lately because of work. I have so much to do all the time and it's really draining me. One of the other teachers noticed that us young teachers don't get much help from anyone, especially not from the principal... and it's so true. I'm basically on my own 90% of the time, not quite sure if what I'm doing is right or good enough. I do my best but there's always that little voice inside that tells me that it's not enough. I don't know, maybe everything is more than enough... After all, my evaluation was beyond amazing...

We are all still waiting for my nephew/Godson. We can't wait to see him...

I don't like this layout anymore... Damn me for being so darn fickle! lol

I finally found a layout that I really like. Browsing around for the "perfect" layout really made me want to start designing again. I simply don't have time nor energy anymore.

I really need to plan the next week and organize all my stuff for tomorrow. An unorganized teacher = 12 unorganized kids and I really don't want to deal with any madness tomorrow.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY! :)

I'm trying different layouts so things might look messy here for a bit.

So today was my last day of March break. A whole week off from work was too much, I would've been happier with 4 day weeks for the next 5 weeks ahead, lol I hate not having a schedule and knowing what I'm doing when I get up. I always end up wasting the day away. I don't think I'm a workaholic, I just need to feel productive.

I just saw Beverly Hills Chihuahua for the second time. It's such a cute movie. I'm really not a fan of talking animals in movies though. I don't know why. Maybe it's because usually movies with talking animals have scenes where the animals are in danger. It's odd, I'd rather watch a human being suffer in a movie than an animal.

I've been looking for premade layouts cause I don't really like this one. I found a good one, but I lost it. Stupid Firefox had to close on me. Maybe I'll look for something tonight. I also need to figure out how to change it...

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the Michael Jackson comeback? I find it funny that on every single big celebrity news/gossip website they barely talk about it, lol There was a lot more buzz when the Spice Girls did their reunion tour! The man has serious issues and problems. I really don't understand why so many people adore him.


Don't forget to change your clocks tomorrow night, peoples! Spring is a-coming, woohoo!

I was cleaning earlier and found this... I believe I got it from a desk calendar a few years ago.

To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every single time I read it, I smile. I guess I could say it's what I live by. Already I feel like I've accomplished so much of what that saying/quotes says.

And now onto some more cleaning!

The movie was alright, a bit too long and too predictable but I guess that's what's expected for a romantic comedy. I'm glad I didn't read the books before. Apparently they combined more than one book for the movie. What I'd really like to know though is why they made the main character American when she's British in the books. But meh, it's not like it would've changed anything to the storyline.

After the movie I went to Broadway Cheesecake and had this delicious cookie dough cheesecake. It was so good, I was in heaven! A must-try!

Wow, 2 posts in one day... I'm on a roll!

Yes, I'm blogging again. Hopefully this time it'll last more than a day... I honestly miss blogging, I really do. I'm just so busy and don't even have time to think about it at the end of the day. But I feel like I should write down my thoughts, even if it's just a few words, once in a while.

I'm going to see Confessions of a Shopaholic tonight. I've never read the books and have a vague idea of what the storyline is but I'm hoping it'll be a good happy chick flick that will make me forget my everyday life for a little bit over an hour.

I have a really bad headache right now. I took advil, it's not helping. *sigh*

Plug for Dora... cause she's probably the only one who's going to read this, lol
