I am going skiing in Vermont this weekend, my first ever experience in my life. I would probably be staying in the baby mountains with other beginners, while my husband hits the black diamond trails. It's like taking swimming class for the first time, when I'd paddle around the 2 ft. pool area, when everyone else was diving 12 ft. underwater.
According to google, it'll be 2F on Friday, with lows of -8F. Yey!
Let's see how a tropical country gal like me could survive. Survivor Vermont. (Corny)

I Heart My Boss
Because she lets me, I mean, she encourages me to look for jobs outside of the company during work hours and gives me access to her b-school career site so I can find better options than agency jobs. And I get paid for that.
I also heart the boss of my boss, because she is forwarding my resume to her friends who work in good companies and is putting in a good word for me. And she does this using her work email, during work hours.
If only every boss in New York is this way... but this is obviously a special case. And I am below the radar in terms of the politics part. Ah, let me be idealistic for a little while longer. How much longer?

Married Woman Blogging
All the wedding preparations and married life adjustments made me forget that my blog still exists. I am back, and a new year welcomes me with plenty of exciting changes and challenges.
Most of you had already seen wedding photos, and I have already shared how wonderful the whole experience was. Everything about it was moving in so many ways. Both David and I were glad that our families were very supportive in all levels. Think tying ribbon on boutonnaires and cooking Filipino food for 40. Maids were nonexistent, so we all had to do things ourselves.
Much to our frustration, about 50% of our time was spent putting together decorations for the boat, which was probably the least important thing about the event. And the last thing David and I focused on was our vows. (I finished writing mine the morning of the wedding!) However, during the event itself, the vows stood out the most - more than any pine cone detail we had put together on each table centerpiece. Which makes me pity crazy bridezillas who don't get the whole meaning of a wedding.
Moving forward... the Hawaii honeymoon was great. We were able to relax plenty and literally "get away" from our families. We watched wild dolphins and whales, flew on a helicopter and drank plenty of mai tais. I can still taste the pineapples. The weather was perfect, and I was able to slip into my bikini again after such a long time.
After that, it's back to the reality of New York. Blah. Cold weather. Cleaning up. Laundry for two. Bills. Rent. And married life begins...
And there's that other wedding to prepare for!
