The Eject Button

"Ayoko na!!! I don't want this kind of life anymore. Sarap maging wife na lang... Magpapakasal na ako! Tara na ! Sana mabuntis na ako! Para sa bahay na lang muna ako. Konting linis lang, konting luto... Oh that's the life!!! Sana mabuntis na lang ako!"

--- Harassed Officemate

I never thought of marriage as an eject button to bail me out of a career that was flying out of control. But as I get more and more stressed, I gotta say, it sounds interesting.

Hi Krissy...I'm a fellow filipina Christian in Fallbrook, California. I was just searching on the internet on the importance of Christian community(you had mentioned that you are a 'Loner' sometimes) and somehow I found your old website that led me to Krissy's Porch. Anyway, this blog for Oct. 26th...was so funny to me.
Me, being a stay home mom and wife is not very easy. At least right now. I got a 10 month old baby girl, a two-story house to clean, a dog that sheds hair all the time, and a husband that I cook for...who loves to eat filipino food(but I am running of ideas to cook...I can't roll lumpias all day long. That's his favorite!) I guess, what I am trying to say is, we all have to be content where we are! Whether we are single, working career woman or stay home mom and wife...God has placed us there for a reason. I do love the fact that I have a beautiful daugther and a wonderful husband from the Lord...and for that I am very thankful!
In case you heard of the fires in Southern California...I am one of the people who had to evacuate. I just returned home after a week of being at my parents house.

I have a webpage...I don't think I've updated it in awhile, but the pictures page is updated atleast twice a month.

Hi Mrs Philip!

Or can I call you Irene?

Yes, I've heard about the fires. It's good that you're safe and sound.

I have to agree with what you said. There's just times when you think that being somewhere else would be easier. But then every phase of life has each own problems. It's about learning to appreciate the place God has set you in for the moment.

Thanks for dropping by. God bless!
