Twenty-something years and counting: A season of changes

http://andthencamelife.blogspot.com/2007/02/season-of-changes.html

Twenty-something years and counting. On to my 20s, with a husband and a cat in tow. Friday, February 09, 2007. A season of changes. Nothing says "Time is gold" more than time itself. In less than four months, since my last blog entry, so many changes had taken place. Back then, I was just talking about the forthcoming fall, but now as I write, winter is already at its shrewdest. Months ago, I was a mere spectator of this company's bailiwick; next week, I will be an official employee. But in early January...

Twenty-something years and counting: Looking past the hurdles

http://andthencamelife.blogspot.com/2006/10/some-things-are-simply-not-meant-to.html

Twenty-something years and counting. On to my 20s, with a husband and a cat in tow. Monday, October 16, 2006. Looking past the hurdles. But is so elusive it breaks our hearts just thinking about it. These are the things that claim birthright to our disappointments in life. If we had a dime for every disappointment we encounter, then we would all be millionaires. Why did I accept such bad news with the shock of a novice, as if I had learned nothing from life at all? The purpose of disappointments is not t...

Twenty-something years and counting: A letter to my Manila

http://andthencamelife.blogspot.com/2007/02/letter-to-my-manila.html

Twenty-something years and counting. On to my 20s, with a husband and a cat in tow. Saturday, February 24, 2007. A letter to my Manila. In all my life, I've never known anyone or anything meaner, colder and more bitter than Chicago's weather. Alright, I may be exaggerating, but you must understand where I am coming from. More importantly, where did my springtime go? But, like Lizzie always says, c'est la vie. I still think of you, Manila, my Manila (to quote the late Nick Joaquin, one of your beloved...

Twenty-something years and counting: June 2006

http://andthencamelife.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Twenty-something years and counting. On to my 20s, with a husband and a cat in tow. Friday, June 30, 2006. The power of memories. One by one, the reverend called the name of those whom we were remembering that day; there were about 20. He placed candles in front so a family member could proceed to the front and light the candle and say a short prayer or share a memory while a gentle song plays in the background. While some of those who passed away may not have family members who are still alive, surely t...

Twenty-something years and counting: July 2006

http://andthencamelife.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Twenty-something years and counting. On to my 20s, with a husband and a cat in tow. Wednesday, July 12, 2006. The truth about brothers and sisters. Contrary to popular belief, we didn't learn everything we needed to know in kindergarten. In fact, kindergarten was simply a testing ground for the lessons we learned in the real, real-life classroom:. The home we shared (or did not share) with our siblings. Where did we learn to cope with our personal differences? The young girl had a wall full of certificat...

Twenty-something years and counting: September 2006

http://andthencamelife.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Twenty-something years and counting. On to my 20s, with a husband and a cat in tow. Friday, September 29, 2006. How I keep warm during fall. 8220;Is it your birthday? 8221; the lady at the counter asked while we checked out our purchases. It was already 9 pm; the stores lining the streets of downtown Chicago were closing for the day but PJ and I hadn’t noticed the time. 8220;No, it isn’t,” I answered. “We’re just getting ready for fall.”. PJ and I simply smiled at each other. Was it my birthday? I forgot...

Twenty-something years and counting. On to my 20s, with a husband and a cat in tow. Monday, October 15, 2007. It is obviously not the ideal, or dare I say traditional scenario, for a married couple. But without sounding defensive, Patrick and I are quite comfortable and confident with our forthcoming situation. When he was making his decision on which career step to take next, we sat down face-to-face and weighed the pros and cons. Are we going to own or rent in another city? Cats of Our Lives.
