We all need some encouragement at times. Sometimes we experience a phase in our lives that demands us to take stock of our surroundings. At these times we are forced to evaluate our achievements and acknowledge our short comings. But when you get recognition for all the hard work you've done thus far in your career, that's when you feel appreciated and encouraged to keep up the good work. I have recently been invited for an interview to a job that will ultimately take me in a direction in my career that will take me a step up. Whether I get this job or not, is not the point. The point is that my achievements up to now had been recognised, and that feels tremendously good.

The June issue of Duo magazine is out and guess who's brazing the cover? Yes, me. Please visit the photo gallery. The cover pic is hidden in the 12 Faces of Duo folder.

I'm at the half way mark in my pregnancy. Week 20 now. As we near the 6th month of the year, it just strike me at how fast time goes by. I'm really loving my belly and it amaze me at how much it grows week by week. We've decided to keep the baby's gender a surprise.

Things are going extremely well with my pregnancy. I'm growing out of my clothes fairly quickly now. Keep an eye on my Mom-to-be forum.
Unfortunately with every gain, there comes losses. I'm sad to announce that Jolina's grandma had passed away last weekend. Our hearts go out to the family and salute their grandma for the long and full life she'd led.

Even though I have made the announcement a couple of weeks ago in my MOM-TO-BE forum, I know some people never get pass the home page. Myself and Thomas are proud to announce that we're gonna become parents this year. I'm gonna be a mommy. I'm 13 weeks pregnant. We hope you will all be happy and please for us. I'll keep you posted through my forum and show some pics from time to time of how we're grow.

Even tiresome things can be enjoyable if you look at them right.
Getting caught in a rainstorm gives you wet shoes,
but also the chance to watch the complex pattern of perfect circles
that the raindrops spread across the puddles.
You can change your shoes when you get home,
but you’d never see the beauty of the water
if you stayed inside.

My birthday |

It's happy birthday to me (and Queen Latifah). My day started with a 6km run this morning, church, lunch with friends and watching the recorded version of the Formula One with Thomas. Very relaxed. Of course my day started way before that with a 4am phone call from my baby sister Shireen who succeeded in being the first to congratulate me. A call from my friend Michele and sms messages from my sisters, Sheron and Dianne topped the day.
I have also started a new forum today, so please join in the discussion. I finally make my announcement!

Hi all you March babies. Margo celebrated on Sunday the 4th. Sheron and Dianne are celebrating tomorrow on the 7th. We have a new edition this year. Michaela, my only true friend in Australia is celebrating on 15th. Happy birthday guys. I'm off to Perth for a conference, but promise to tell you something really special very soon.

Rainbows can be found in the strangest of places.
Even spilled petrol makes a beautiful swirl of colour
in the puddles left behind.
