Standing at the threshold of the last trimester, This girl and The Boy realize that they are considerably behind on their Baby Stuff shopping. Most of their friends due after or about the same time as them have already made sizable headway where baby stuff shopping is concerned: car seats, pram, changing tables…etc… They originally [...]

Pregnancy week 25: beached whale coming through
Posted in 2nd Trimester, pregnancy, pregnancy weekly, sock stuff, stuff for baby, the boy, tagged 2nd trimester, body image pregnancy, pregnancy on December 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Maybe its the time in her life, but many of This Girl’s friends find themselves mothers and soon-to-be-mothers. And as she sat for coffee with a three month old mom, invariably they got to the topic of pregnancy and, for some odd reason, the body image issues that comes with the baby bump turf. Comparatively, [...]
marge on the cover

November’s Playboy features Marge Simpson. It made this girl- for some reason- laugh hysterically at that. She saw this video on the Simpsons and laughed even more. This girl has been kinda busy, and it was good to laugh at frivolity.
let it be.

Its been a madhouse around here this past two weeks. Far too many projects and the whole hassle of moving office has been taking a toll on this girl- she’s not been sleeping too well, she has dreams of her having dreams about work which is oddly trippy and makes her think she’s in some [...]
friends from the other land

This girl caught up with some friends visiting from The Other Land. Aunty Am runs the orphanage that this girl has been working with since she’s 16; this was the place that changed her life, and the girl (then two, now 14) that changed this girl’s soul. She gave this girl updates on all the [...]

getting things done (part I)

This girl has decided that she plans to, this year, to show down. You heard, her right, she plans to sssslllloooowwww dddoooowwwwnnn… To. Slow. Down. It by no means mean that she plans to down size her business, contrary, she plans to plough on and expand as plan but with better effeciency and productivity. And [...]
of sensitive skin and make up
Posted in sock stuff, the sock shop on March 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This girl has really sensitive skin and for most parts is stuck using Avene products for sensitive skin as prescribed by her very good skin doctor who lives next door to The Parents. Most over the counter products, even their sensitive range, are far too harsh for this girl so she sticks with the brands [...]
a new standard
Posted in chapters, sock stuff, the boy, writings on February 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The Warrior Princess had to go dry her eyes, The Mother-in-law and The Mother got misty eyed, The Money Lawyer decided it was his new gold standard for groom speeches… And so, by popular demand, this girl is putting in the transcript of The Boy’s wedding speech which he kept hidden from her; so she [...]
warm ups

When the company was first incepted in April 2008, it was meant for this girl to have somewhere to bill when she does frivolous work. The Boy figured she’d never be able to sit still anyway so it seemed like a great idea to the both of them. Then came the steady flow of projects [...]
learning to let go

This girl is learning to let go. In this grand process this girl is undertaking; this streamlining of her life, she’s had to learn to let go. That sometimes its easier for her to put the ball in someone else’s court and wait for them to decide if they want to hit the ball back [...]

Since April, this girl had been helping The Father out at his company and have been running far too many projects, expansion plans and new initiatives that seems wholely feasible and possible given the first rule of thumb was: do everything you can to clean ship, streamline, expan business but don’t spend money. It was [...]
Revisiting the missing piece
Posted in sock stuff, vintage, writings on August 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This girl is good at letting go and closing chapters. She’s not one that stores mountains of keepsakes, or old things because they have sentimental value. She holds on to very few things, focusing on remembering things for the essence and memory of what they are than on the thing itself. And one of the [...]
the week ahead

It still amazes this girl how her schedule can look all clear and comfy at the beginning of the week, only to have it totally fill up and crowd in before lunch on the first day of the working week. Its the first day this girl is back in The Office and Miss P’s empty [...]
fleeting bye

Its probably the case that each of us are stubborn by nature. We are all born with a keen sense for what we like, what we don’t like, what we prefer, what we rather not have, what we believe in, what we don’t or can’t believe in. The reason some of us are considered more [...]
